The damn Brits got me again!

Hey, I started Boddington's. My full name, edgarblythe boddington wouldn't fit on the can, so I shortened it. Please drink the whole six pack before you make up your mind.

it was a moth ball

Gus, just send them my way.

It's beer, not genital warts, for frig's sake!

Yeah, they do that. Put that thing with nitrogen in there to keep it fizzy. It goes in imported cans of Guiness too. That's OK, by me - but the damn stuff is woefully underproof*, you have to find the genuine Guiness at 6% to get a serious buzz on the stuff.

Gus there's a drink for you; 'Old Goatshagger'. Brewed from pine-needles, milled fish waste, pizza cartons and contaminated mine tailings. Strongly reminiscent of caramel and acetone, banned in at least 87 of countries that actually care about human life.





*see earlier rants about the relative values of hi-alcohol beers and their consumption.

i hear ya, gus. tastes like cold stale coffee to me. why would i drink that if i can have fresh hot coffee?

i love boddingtons

mmmmm

the secret is to drink it like draft beer not staraight from the can

Being a Lancashire lad it works for me Walter

By 'eck lads...it tastes a bit gorgeous to me too!

Not long ago, while taking my turn at a stop sign, I found myself confronted by a gentleman holding a sign. I expected that the sign might be ... Will Work For Food ... I had seen that often enough, and his appearance certainly suggested the good times had passed… but this sign made some sort of reference to beer ... donations of any amount accepted.

I would have liked to stop and find out what this fellow was about. But of course, I was in a rush, and there was this huge line of cars in front and behind me. As I reached the stop sign, I had the window rolled down and just sort of leaned out a little bit as if to indicate my predicament ... whereupon ... this "fellow" thrust ¾ of a four pack into my hand ... without so much as a glance to see if there would be anything coming back in return.

Should I drink this beer from the side of the road?

Of course, dear reader, you are thinking to yourself, "Nobody in their right mind would drink a beer they found on the side of the road". If that's what you were thinking, congratulations because you are smarter than me.

Instead of warm, possibly rancid beer. I got a good taste of something resembling sheep dip. Police say the liquid that sent me to the hospital last Sunday resembles lye.
Lye is a highly concentrated solution of potassium hydroxide or sodium hydroxide. It's often found in commercial drain and oven cleaners.

The kicker is this:
Sergeant Thomas Gabowaski issued a statement to the effect that; there's no evidence suggesting Try was personally targeted having ingested British beer. - You mean there is even a slight chance that someone is out there targeting moron drivers who drink beers they get from the side of the road?

I don't drink, but if: I would prefer Robinson - because Stockport is Cheshire! :wink:

Walt-

Whd ya wanna tell 'em that fer?If it gets popular in the states Bodds'll put the price up.Let them think it's cat's piss-it's their loss.

Never smarten up a chump-WC Fields.

We've got nothing on the Brits


With a town in Arkansas called Toad Suck??? What the **** is THAT all about?

Am I wrong...but I thought Boddies (Cream of Manchester) had closed down?

Interbrew, the Belgian company which owns the Boddingtons brand, produces Boddies in ... wherever they have free capacities.

Bods has no snob value.You pay for the % alcohol plus a cool,creamy lubrication to the arguing muscles.
