MoogleViper Posted November 14, 2010 Posted November 14, 2010 If I really want a cheap night I'll just get myself 3 litres of Frosty Jacks. It taste no worse than say, Strongbow, is strong and bloody cheap. Admittedly, SB taste terrible too, but so do most ciders. Are you mental in the face? Sure SB isn't the greatest tasting drink but Frosty Jack's is the most disgusting thing I've ever had in my mouth.
ipaul Posted November 14, 2010 Posted November 14, 2010 Are you mental in the face? Sure SB isn't the greatest tasting drink but Frosty Jack's is the most disgusting thing I've ever had in my mouth. Hmmmm. I was exaggerating a bit but I just really think Strongbow is shit. If you're gonna drink that kind of cheap/crap alcohol, may as well make it strong. I have a particular dislike for Strongbow now as well since it was all I drank from the ages of 16-18. The only ciders which seem to be any good (and they are very good) are the individual bottles you get in the supermarket. Like Henry Weston's for example. Most others (with the possible exception of Magners) just taste like an imitation of alcopops compared to those ciders.
Paj! Posted November 14, 2010 Posted November 14, 2010 £8 Probably shouldn't be buying myself things, but I've waited ages to see this.

Dan_Dare Posted November 14, 2010 Posted November 14, 2010 strongbow is profoundly gross. It's far, far too sweet and leaves you with a horrible layering of sugar and fuck knows what else all over your teeth.
Ashley Posted November 14, 2010 Author Posted November 14, 2010 I had a really nice pear cider in All Bar One on Wednesday. Presume an 'own brand' kind of thing because I've never seen it before. That or rare. But awesome nonetheless.
jayseven Posted November 14, 2010 Posted November 14, 2010 That's right. A Papier mache tortoise. For my girlfriend. We went to a farm market stall museum thing today and when the girls were separated us boys decided to buy presents for our wenches because we're stupid like that. Before she spotted us sitting down, she went via the same stall and bout the same thing. ONLY MINE WAS MASSIVE. That isn't what she says very often. But anyway. What?
jayseven Posted November 14, 2010 Posted November 14, 2010 That's right. The vendor did not sell her products. They were prizes, and three five-minute rounds had to be endured, Human-Spider style! *hopes that reference is correct*
Murr Posted November 15, 2010 Posted November 15, 2010 very late to the party... and playing it on veteran.... i Hate it

nekunando Posted November 15, 2010 Posted November 15, 2010 Was in town this afternoon and popped into GAME for the first time in months.. I came out with that
ShavenWolf Posted November 15, 2010 Posted November 15, 2010 I bought this in anticipation for this arriving next week Though I don't have a desk, so at the moment it's set up on the ironing board.
Ashley Posted November 15, 2010 Author Posted November 15, 2010 All Bar One is heinously expensive. £18 for calamari, some veggie dipper-like things, chips and two drinks isn't too bad. You're heinously expensive!
Paj! Posted November 15, 2010 Posted November 15, 2010 Where?! I still need Series 2, but at that price, I'll take the box set of both...
Ashley Posted November 15, 2010 Author Posted November 15, 2010 In store at Foppedy Fopp Fopp Fopp Fopp Fopp.
gmac Posted November 15, 2010 Posted November 15, 2010 yup was instore from Fopp, £20 in HMV (interesting since HMV own Fopp)

Are we talking about the one nearish Oxford Circus? I suppose its cause I've only ever been there for drinks, and places do tend to give something of a concession if you're buying drinks for a meal. But that's still expensive. Maybe I'll bump into you there one day .
Ashley Posted November 15, 2010 Author Posted November 15, 2010 It was the one in Leicester Square. Post protest grub with Tellyn.
Aztec Rose Posted November 15, 2010 Posted November 15, 2010 Two baby girl guinea pigs. Or so I was told. I am scarred. The boy will be swapped tomorrow. Though the deed may well have already been done...
