Can't we just agree on forming "GRAB" the gang of rich amoral bullies.
UK, France, Germany other rich bits of Europe, Japan, US, Oz etc.
We seal all our borders and we bomb all the poor countries, steal all their resources and rape what's left. I mean it would be more honest.
And let's bring back Aparhteid. I am sick of all the plucky rainbow nation nonsense, what did they do to deserve the world cup eh?
Quote: DaButt @ May 2 2010, 7:25 PM BSTI buy about a hundred dollars' worth of UK beer every month. Imagine if the other 300 million Americans did the same!
Perhaps a pipeline could be laid across the Atlantic to facilitate the transport of your liquid gold? A BP-like blowout would be much easier to handle than the well that's leaking in the Gulf of Mexico, as there would be millions of volunteers clamoring for a chance to clean up the gushing beer.
Jesus, DaButt you poor bastard, don't buy British beer. Get it from Belgium.

To a large extent, I'd agree with that.
Lambics, Abbey, Duvel etc.
What amazes me is how chavs walk out of supermarkets with cheap Stella, Kronenbourg. Budwiser etc.
FFS! It's brewed in Warrington or Hull or somewhere not remotely like its native country !
Er, how did this conversation end up on the General Election page?

I like Belgian beers, but they're just not my favourite. I like British ales, Guinness, German/Czech pilsners and American IPAs. Or I'll take whatever is available.
Chip's poll's in The Daily Telegraph today, although curiously he doesn't get a name check.

That's lager they make there isn't it. Do buy British beer, it's still by far the best in the world.

You really have got no idea have you. Belgium can't produce beer - not real beer anyway.

What was that then?
Incidentally went to a pub that had the coloured hand-pumps - red, yellow, blue depending on who you were voting for. They didn't have a green pump though. Maybe should've had half a pint of blue and half a pint of yellow.

Yeah - you're an old git - sorry Rocker. You should be drinking the dark stuff.

IIRC, the Greens want to hike up alcohol taxes, so presumably no one who visits pubs will vote for them anyway.
Weird that not only do we have a labour candidate dissing the PM, but we have Labour Lords telling us to consider voting agianst Labour, for tactical reasons.

That makes one honest member of the party.

Indeed. Budweiser and Becks are possibly the worst beers you can buy in the first world and you often see them on together in shit bars. In Germany, the only place you can get Becks is in a kebab shop in little tins and nobody buys it. As for Heineken - As Frank says in Blue Velvet: Heineken? That's a f**k's drink, you f**k!

Alf, that's like saying Sony make camcorders don't they? Belgium produces more varieties of beer than anyone else. When you're living in an abbey with three hundred other blokes you've got to find a hobby.

In Belgium they would re-label most British beer as slug killer. I drink Shepherd Neame and Badger beers but most British beers are cack. Most things in Britain are cack.

I agree but I've never quite understood their fascination for Scotch Ale !
Nice glasses to bring home though!
Where else in the world can you go into a restaurant/bar and the food menu is about two pages and the beer menu twenty two !
So the last day of the campain tommorow.
In the last 6 weeks no candidate has shook my hand, phone me, knocked on my door or has even been seen my me. The only people to put leaflets through my door were the BNP and the National Front.
I mean, bloody hell.
I'd be in a pretty similar situation if I was still living with my parents. NEVER see anyone there; although apparently the Conservative candidate did knock on the door just as they were sitting down for tea, but before the election was actually called!
However, here (living with zooo), we've had leaflets from everyone but the MRLP, it seems. Even had a car with a megaphone mounted on the roof driving around yesterday!
