Can you manage a dozen draught guiness, with Bushmills chasers then?

I would love you see you try to drink as much Guinness[/b]. Why are you so confrontational?

Steve, shut your gob and don't start on the grammar and spelling thing, it bloody irks me..Are you that oink Spendi's pigging brother or what?

BTW I can manage twenty pints, with chasers mate. No problem at all!

Actually I have a beer degree which is a qualification which both enables me and grants me the right to talk at length and with complete authority on any subject which might come up at the end of a long day.

This is all rather infantile Francis I'm afraid.

You have to be careful with beer. You can easily catch "beerache" which is like tinitus but with a female voice rather than the sound of a chain saw but I never get that as I have a "Beer-angel" who watches over me and keeps me safe and got me my "Beer-armour" fitted which is an invisible protective shield, like the "Beer-cones" which guide traffic freely around me, which removes all sensations or damage when in collision with solid objects in the dark. The "Beer compass" is built in to the Beer armour and guides one safely to one's front door without one having to think about it. You have to beware of the beer-goggles. You can easy wake up next to something which doesn't look so hot as it did when you had them on and it can be quite a shock to one's self-respect. You can easily buy items on eBay that you have neither need or want of in beer-goggles.

There's much more actually. These others have no idea. They probably go to bed and get tucked in after the watershed.

But don't do the Beerwolf unless you're over 25. That's when you wake up in unfamiliar surrounding with bruises, aching joints and torn clothes with blood in your teeth and having nightmarish flashbacks.

The proper word for proper drinking is "beasting". These others are very lower-middle-class expressions. They mean genteel sipping.

Even if you don't meet Lord Spendi's criteria.

What does lower middle class mean?

It is that ever growing section of the population which is neither working class nor toff. It feeds by word formulations and it has made every single important writer in history sick to the back teeth at the sight of it's vulgarity. It has come to dominate national life through its agents in Westminster and media and can only lead us to ruin.

It is difficult to define but I can spot a member of it as soon as they open their gob. That is because their indignation threshold is very,very delicate and one can only tell them what they want to hear to avoid having it all in pieces all over the carpet.

Will that do Steve? I wouldn't go into the finer details if I was you. It really is a most gruesome prospect.

Gerrit down yer neck

Which I'm sure francis will have no trouble translating. Though sensitive souls like Spendy might be shocked.

you could try these:

"knocking back"
"glugging"
"downing"
"hammering"

But I could always help you out, I'd buy you a few pints and chasers any day mate, !

Tout est femme dans ce qu'on aime.

I can see you keep reading good books.
