    Voted f*ck Omackeral myself

    Ah, now beer is an interesting one. That has the potential to be as bile-inducing as the crisp thread. I already have like 20 insults for anyone who drinks Bud.

    Actually, Bud would win wouldn't it? Plebs.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,283 ✭✭✭dinorebel


    Should of added fish while snidely leaving out Mackerel


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 52,142 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    No some stupid hipster bogwater craft beer would win most likely.

    Most people would be bored after the first couple of round after the bigger brands get voted out by the hipsters and you're then left with only 5 or 6 who actually know what they're:

    A) voting for.
    B) talking about.

    I'd probably not take part unless craft beer was banned tbh because I can already predict the result:pac:

    I’d like to see a competition for best meal.

    Bacon & Cabbage with floury spuds

    Fish fingers, chips & spaghetti hoops

    Steak, onions, mushrooms, tomatoes, mash & pepper sauce

    Sausage, mash & beans



    I’m hungry

    To be honest whatever the topic it'll end up with one poster talking about fisting/feltching/anally assaulting someone else's mother/daughter/granny.

    Maybe favourite fetish should be an option.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,025 ✭✭✭✭EmmetSpiceland


    Bars, and cakes, were already covered in the “biscuit” tournament.

    Whomever sets up the next tournament criteria of what constitutes, say, a “retro sweet” should be established before voting commenced. Things like “golf balls”, which are chewing gum, should not be eligible.

    Mods should be welcome in the thread but should, perhaps, leave their awful brand of lame “humour” outside and just give a vote. Familiarity, does indeed, breed contempt. Terrible attempt a “jokes” does so even faster.

    Finally, the poster who decides to run the tournament should, also, remain outside of the general “chat”. Leave the “banter” to those who are engaged in the competition. This poster should, also, not be eligible to vote, unless in the event of a, required, tie breaker.

    The two previous threads, while truly excellent, were dogged with “unfunny” mods trying way too hard, to the point of sheer embarrassment and a tournament “curator” losing the run of himself and descending into pure paranoid fantasy.

    Thank you for your time.

    No it wouldnt but Heiniken would win. I like a few craft beers but the fact is there's no craft beer popular enough to win.

    Of course Guinness is not a beer so it should not be included but as this is after hours it will be included

    If you’re including lagers you’d be including stouts and ales.

    Best meal, and you're listing that pile of ****e? Floury spuds are an abomination to begin with. Waxy's yer man instead of biting into a ball of dust.

    Fish fingers - are you 7?

    Tomatoes with the steak? Fúck that. The rest is alright.

    These ultimate tournaments should only be done once every six months at most. It'll get a bit old quickly if we have thread every week full of people calling each other **** puppets and cum socks over their preferences trivial food stuff.

    Carlsberg hands down. And yes , what constitutes a beer needs to be laid out from the start

    Especially since they changed to that Pilsner tack. Take paint off a gate that stuff would.

    Cider > Beer which makes the whole best beer thing pointless

    It does take it out of you. Better to have a break in between for sure.

    Neither for me. Druids all the way. 6 cans of that and you'd be hopping some young fellas head off a wall in beat with the latest dance track :pac:

    Isn't that the stuff they give teenagers to train them when they're first taking alcoholic beverages? It's like 1.3%

    I’d agree. Need a break of a few months at least so it’s something to look forward to.

    What about...... next one at Christmas and we find the boardsies best Christmas tree? Participants submit their entries and we run maybe 4 together at a time and depending on number of entries either top 1 or 2 progress to next round.


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,055 ✭✭✭JohnnyFlash


    Beer would be pointless. Guinness would win, like Tayto Cheese and Onion won. Neither need or deserve to win. And this comes from a man who drinks 8-10 barrels of stout a year.

    The white label Tesco stuff does the job. No need to be fancy about it.

    Carsberg is like drinking water, cold tea and washing up liquid together, its actually the worst beer in the world


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,055 ✭✭✭JohnnyFlash


    All lager tastes pretty much the same, and only thicks and dullards have strong preferences for what cold bubbly piss is served up to them.


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,138 ✭✭✭Uncharted


    Retro sweets.


    Close thread.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,714 ✭✭✭✭Earthhorse


    I voted F*ck Omackerel which I'm taking as the "Other" option in the poll.

    It should be cereals. They have the right mixture of notoriety, personality and irrelevance to be a great subject.
    These ultimate tournaments should only be done once every six months at most. It'll get a bit old quickly if we have thread every week full of people calling each other **** puppets and cum socks over their preferences trivial food stuff.

    Not every six months but maybe every two months or something. The crisps one was only two weeks ago. They should be spread out a bit I agree.

    This is probably going to be an unpopular observation but I think the "hilarious" "insults" should be used a bit more sparingly too.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,330 ✭✭✭fixXxer


    Why not vote for fellow Boardsies posters and burn this place to the ground for once and for all?

    The very first tournament was about bars:

    Have a Gamma Ray IPA and come back to me.

    If Guinness is not allowed Hophouse 13 wins.

    Guinness should be allowed.

    Bud Heineken carlsberg coors tuborg and corona are all slightly different but equally boring and watery.

    Dutch gold prazki karpaki are all drinkable if ice cold

    If royal dutch hasn’t been done away with yet it should have been years ago.

    Most craft beers just mask the taste of piss with chocolate or coffee flavoring.

    Everything else falls into one of these catagories.


  • Registered Users Posts: 228 ✭✭hellsing101


    Smithwicks is a tasty brew, rarely mentioned these days.

    Would have to be the pig hands down.

    Cow Steak is good but the pig has far too much diversity to be even in the same class as the others.

    It's more like 6%.
    And I've no idea what alcohol they give to train teenagers, not something I'd be partaking in personally.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,283 ✭✭✭dinorebel


    So far Beer and F*ck Omackeral are in the lead one poor alcoholic did vote spirits


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,865 ✭✭✭Deebles McBeebles


    So what beer would you drink before f*cking Omackeral? Is that what we're settling on?
