That's great value and you can mix and match with 12 x Hop House or 10 x Corona. A nice little Christmas mix.

What's an expresso?

Dope

Cheers, I didn't realise that an expresso was a dope. Still confused as dope can be both a compliment or an insult when describing someone and now an expresso also means dope.... Feeling very old right now!

You know that the person meant an espresso but you just want to engage in some pointlessly pedantic game of calling up someone on spelling a word phonetically- when in reality it adds nothing to conversation other than maybe, in your head alone, making you feel superior.

Merry Christmas everyone

It’s definitely pronounced as it’s spelt though, espresso.

I’d love to know how expresso became such a commonly used term.

been traveling over central - east Europe this summer.
Beside the fact that smallest cash and carry store is the size of Tesco extra, i was surprised to see for sale Jameson and other spirits heavily promoted in gift-boxes with 1-2 engraved glasses, with the price lower than a regular bottle here ( i.e Jameson and 2 glasses for 17-19 euro, on a regular summer day )

As for the coffee, was looking for a 'medium' cup of coffee ( as i have every day in Ireland ): the barista told me they serve only coffee ( in small ~50ml/2oz cups ) and not take away soups

I often hear it pronounced as expresso.

https://www.merriam-webster.com/words-at-play/espresso-vs-expresso-usage-history

What to Know
Espresso is a borrowed word from Italian referring to coffee brewed by forcing steam or hot water through finely ground coffee. This method is quick, involves "pressing" water through coffee, and the word is very close to the English word "express," which shares those meanings. Thus, it is not uncommon, nor wrong, to hear this beverage referred to as expresso.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Espresso#Variant_spelling

While the 'expresso' spelling is recognized as mainstream usage in some American dictionaries,[25][26] some cooking websites call the 'x' variant illegitimate.[27][28][29][30] Oxford Dictionaries online states "The spelling "expresso" is not used in the original Italian and is strictly incorrect, although it is common."[31] The Oxford English Dictionary and Merriam-Webster call it a variant spelling.[24][32] The Online Etymology Dictionary calls "expresso" a variant of "espresso".[33] The Oxford Dictionary of American Usage and Style (2000) describes the spelling expresso as "wrong", and specifies espresso as the only correct form.[34] The third edition of Fowler's Modern English Usage, published by the Oxford University Press in 1996, noted that the form espresso "has entirely driven out the variant expresso (which was presumably invented under the impression that it meant 'fast, express')"

seems so stupid when arseholes feign ignorance about it when they see a misspelling (not you), do they think it makes them look smart or something? making themselves out to be idiots that cannot have a guess or use google? because it backfires big time, they end up looking like right ignorant morons, in both senses of the word.

It definitely doesnt really matter though, especially when you know what the person is referring to

Lads/ladettes, can we just discuss the procurement of cheap booze and leave the chat to somewhere else. No point in going down the route of having a Booze Deals chat thread.

stimpson · 09-12-2019 12:36pm

There is a whole forum for Coffee and Tea.

Tesco

Stella Artois 24 x 50cl cans €20

(it's that stupid open cases merchandising so you have to take 6 x 4 packs but at that price worth the trouble)

Also Jameson Caskmates IPA or Stout €25

Holy Diver · 09-12-2019 8:43pm

SuperValu

€10 off any 6 wines. Combine that with the fact that Faustino V is on sale at €10 at the moment and that’s 6 v gd bottles of red for €50

Baileys €12

dartboardio · 10-12-2019 2:17am

Can't believe how cheap the spirits are in lidl. Anyone know how long the deal is lasting for?

I thought i was getting a bargain at €18.99 for a 70cl of Smirnoff. €14.99 is great!!

Bollix,didn't realise there was Smirnoff there also. Only one thing for it so

easypazz · 10-12-2019 10:38am

At €14.99 its still cheaper to buy in Tesco and Dunnes, works out at €14 for 700ml if you get the 1 litre for €20.

Faustino V is €10 in Tesco. 25% off 6 bottles brings it in at €45 for 6.

Rockshore 8PK x 2 for 18 euro.

Good value for Rockshore.

Try and keep it to moderate drinking people. Things can get out of hand. Doesnt have to be drank by the end of Xmas. Save your health and fights breaking out. ive been there before, it aint pretty.

On a side shameful note, anyone know how long the 25% of 6 bottles of wine in tesco is ending. need to get presents.

doesn't matter, it just has to be 37.5% or above to be legally called vodka in the EU.

Many of the cheaper ones are molasses based.

Skelp · 10-12-2019 1:09pm

Anyone know the story with Amazon. Seems to be very quiet on the booze front....usually has some cracking deals.

It’s hard to beat Tesco 25% off to be fair. Particularly when combined with sale prices. Also applies to port.

Just curious about what you think vodka should be made with?
I honestly didn't think it mattered.
