Actually I would draw the line at those Kwak ones that require a stand.

Isn't the corona one just a straight-edged yankee style pint glass? Not that bad.
The new Carlsberg one does my head in, coning in towards the top, funneling all the head into an insurmountable beer sundae. I guess you're (they're) meant to lop that bit off with one of those (fancy) beer palate knife things, but, well, when they don't, which is all the time, it's a right pain in the bits.
I like the short Camden Lager pint glass.
Agreed. Carlsberg or Carling drinkers should be banned from this board with immediate effect.
These are the only job.
It smells like something has died inside me. That’s the stage you know it’s time for Christmas to end.
Ales are wank. Like drinking old man spunk cut with piss.
I'll take your word for it.
Ales are wank but listing plastic glasses as a positive of anything. Give your head a wobble.
Need a poll, lager vs ale, to out the children.

There's a time and a place for everything.
Sometimes you just need something refreshing without grilling the poor minimum wage fucker entombed in a family establishment about their 'ale selection'.
The most egregious thing about that Carlsberg glass is that they've had perfectly acceptable glasses in the past - be they a pilsner staple or this textured stalwart.
I'm with you on the Erdinger glasses, I hate those. The short, fat Camden one that Mike posted it my current favourite. I'm firmly in the lager camp too. I can't get on with ale. It's like supping pond water to me. I always feel like a bit of a philistine when I get dragged into some wanky "real ale" pub and ask them what lagers they have on tap.
Carling is shit but drinkable. Carlsberg and fosters are the two where the taste actually makes me feel ill.
My fave beers are lambics, milds, and some porters and stouts. Guinness usually a safe bet if it isnt kept badly. Tbh I'm not usually a 2 or 3 pints kinda guy though, so if I'm ON ONE it's usually a couple of pints of midrange lagers like moretti then onto the spirits else I get too bloated and end up needing to do a horrible beer poo in a nightclub toilet which nobody needs.
But like if I ended up at an ALE PUB for a pint I'd generally ask one of the bar staff or old fellas at the bar what they'd recommend.
They're on minimum wage and don't give a shit.
They'd probably be able to steer you in the direction of the skanky ball tickler, 4.2%, acrid, at a push
When you all say real ale over there, is that meaning stuff like brown ale? Like John Smiths, Tetleys, Bass, etc? Or does that cover IPAs like Punk, etc?
I'm guessing it's IPA. When I order that stuff blind, I just go by percentage, if they list them. It's all the same mango-infused wank anyway.
^ yep

In rather appropriate fashion I'll be finishing off the year with a bastid of a cold. This Christmas has been an utter shambles, with health issues throughout the family causing chaos, so a cold ain't that bad but I'm cancelling plans for tonight and tomorrow.
Tomorrow was only set to be a tense 'gathering' anyway. Tense, because my mate's wife has cancelled it twice, the second time because my mate has supposedly made a tit of himself when drunk too many times recently (twice from what I can tell, but tbh neither seem that bad), so I imagine the evening for him will consist of getting tipsy then being told off for laughing.
Food and dogs is a much safer bet. The plus side of this shambolic Christmas is that I've spent a lot more time with my mum and we're getting along better and better with age. I'm tempted to move back to Jersey in March, so it's quite nice knowing that we can live together happily for however long I'd be back at her's.
As for today, I'm going to take the dogs out then watch Twister and Congo and make a shepherd's pie.
Im going home today. Cant wait.
I'm in Bristol, a mate is having a party tomorrow night so I'm staying at his for a couple of nights. He shares with a couple of other guys, it's a nice place but I'm fairly sure that in the 4 or so years they've been here nobody has ever hoovered or dusted. My fexofenadine is doing its best but I fear it's a losing battle.
The worst bit is one of them works for Dyson ffs.
Whats wrong with working for Dyson? Because its not busking or something?
I trailed off at the end. Id still be justified in jumping to the conclusion though.
You’re parodying yourself with this one.

Isn’t that what this is for us all?
I gave the dog some clotted cream and he has spewed all over the living room.
Shiiiiit
Happy New Year lads.
Merry New Year all.
Happy New Year TTHers :-)
Happy new year. It's pissing it down in Bali today and last night I got a firework in the swede.
It's a firework into the skull. Probably more painful than a dildo.

Happy New Year from me and some guy with my top. X
