Like comparing Apples and pears

Post by Gob »

When we were over in NZ, we discovered Monteith's, possibly now my favourite brewery on the planet..

But apples or pears?

At present we're very fond of the pear, but will that love wear off?

Clever ad campaign. But cider and mead are only for rare consumption. I don't think either could make it into the regular diet.

I love a good cider, but I've found I prefer apple, and very straightforward. I'll take a Woodchuck Amber, from my lovely Green Mountains, please. Nothing else compears. . .

I had a nasty experience with cider at my nephew's christening when I was 16. Just the smell turns my stomach now... :barf
Why is it that when Miley Cyrus gets naked and licks a hammer it's 'art' and 'edgy' but when I do it I'm 'drunk' and 'banned from the hardware store'?

Thank you just ever so much.

I beg your pardon Rubato?

Was that an attempt at sarcasm?

Was your story about vomiting and the smell of cider making you sick entertaining for anyone?

If so, then no, I wasn't being sarcastic. Otherwise, yes.

Do you actually know the difference between feeling queasy and vomiting/being sick Rubato?

You were right Jarl!

Do you read your own posts? You added the "barf" symbol, not I. You said 'turns my stomach now ... barf'??


And I think my comment was more arch than sarcastic.

Well I think your comment was more a pile of wank! :D
I'm not going to hijack this thread just because you reading incomprehension now stretches to not being able to grasp when a picture means feeling sick rather then actually being sick.

Cider is Satan's piss. Discuss. :D

You posted the word "barf".

I don't expect you to apologize since that would require some sense of morality and honesty.

You are too small to have either.

Sean hard cider made well can be rather tasty. Applejack on the other hand can put you on your ass quickly. :roll:
