Title: Absinth Post by: Dazzza on Wednesday, October 19, 2005, 18:14:18 Any connoisseurs of the green fairy here?
Not the pub/club watered down stuff the real hardcore bottles that have the full ‘absinth experience’. I haven’t had any for a while but got a real urge at the moment. Never forget my 21st I had a double off the bar owners own stock still with the plant remnants in the bottle. Instant stoned/drunk high….. Title: Absinth Post by: Ralphy on Wednesday, October 19, 2005, 18:15:22 I had a 50 ml shot once and was violently sick. Never again, i would rather drink my own piss.
Title: Absinth Post by: Ralphy on Wednesday, October 19, 2005, 18:16:28 Oh and it wasn't watered down stuff, my mate bought a bottle back from Prague.
Title: Absinth Post by: Onion_Jimbo on Wednesday, October 19, 2005, 18:23:16 I once drank 6 shots (of the watered down crap) and was drunk as a skunk. that was when England played Swedon in 2002 world cup.
I enjoy the propper stuff. It works a treat Title: Absinth Post by: walrus on Wednesday, October 19, 2005, 18:25:15 Quote from: "Onion_Jimbo" I once drank 6 shots (of the watered down crap) and was drunk as a skunk. that was when England played Swedon in 2002 world cup. I enjoy the propper stuff. It works a treat Wasn't that a morning kick off? I always saw you as a lightweight - fair play!!! Even the watered down stuff is pretty dirty. I remember sucking some absinthe off my finger (proper hardcore bad man stuff) and being a bit tipsy for the drive home.... Title: Absinth Post by: Onion_Jimbo on Wednesday, October 19, 2005, 18:29:50 It was a morning kick off but I didnt start on the spirits till later in the day. A nice pint of 6X at 10:00am is lovely though. Steam Railway, beer, old mans bar, football and stuff.
what a day Title: Absinth Post by: walrus on Wednesday, October 19, 2005, 18:31:02 Quote from: "Onion_Jimbo" It was a morning kick off but I didnt start on the spirits till later in the day. A nice pint of 6X at 10:00am is lovely though. Steam Railway, beer, old mans bar, football and stuff. what a day I was too young to hit the beers in 2002.... Shameful. Will have to make up for lost time at World Cup 2006! :D There's something chronically wrong about alcohol before about 11.30am, I can but have a hard time. I remember doing hair of the dog at Corfu, and the first pint was unbelievably difficult. After that.... Shit me. Title: Absinth Post by: Onion_Jimbo on Wednesday, October 19, 2005, 18:32:10 I always find it really hard to get drunk hair of the dogging it. The worst thing about morning pints is the taste of toothpaste and mouth grimmness. but it soon passes
Title: Absinth Post by: Ralphy on Wednesday, October 19, 2005, 18:33:34 I enjoy lunchtime drinking more than evening :D
Title: Absinth Post by: walrus on Wednesday, October 19, 2005, 18:34:30 Quote from: "Ralphy" I enjoy lunchtime drinking more than evening :D You should come out with me some time then... I'll sort you on the evening drinking 8) Toothpaste + beer is fucking rank, mind you I brush my teeth before a night out in the evening so same difference.... I'm such a poof... :cry: Title: Absinth Post by: Onion_Jimbo on Wednesday, October 19, 2005, 18:36:08 I brush my teeth before I go out only because Im too drunk to do it when i get in. but its usually worn off by the time I get to le pub
Title: Absinth Post by: walrus on Wednesday, October 19, 2005, 18:37:50 Hair of the dog with cider is wrong.... Port Vale home I nearly chundered in front of fatbury, stfc_bird and dv as it'd been my bday night the night before. There needs to be a hangover cure which instantly dispells booze from the body.
Where's a good place to go out in Swindon? My girlfriend is in Brizzle, and I wanna go out after the Bristol home game, then train back to her place, but I'll be wearing my Swindon shirt (unless that really is unadvisable) and shouldn't really go back to Brizzle on the train. What's better nightlife - Swindon vs. Bristol? Title: Absinth Post by: Ralphy on Wednesday, October 19, 2005, 18:39:34 I have to brush my teeth and use mouthwash when i wake up, first thing i do.
I am paranoid about bad breath cos i know how horrid it is when you have to lean back when someones speaks to you :soapy tit wank: Toothpaste does ruin a pint though. I find a bag of pork scratchings with the first pint works well. Title: Absinth Post by: Onion_Jimbo on Wednesday, October 19, 2005, 18:40:57 bristol nightlife is bigger and better. More pubs, clubs and ladies. Although everytime I go there something bad happens.
you wont get in any pubs with a swindon shirt though. Title: Absinth Post by: Ralphy on Wednesday, October 19, 2005, 18:42:30 I've never been out in Bristol, what's Evolution like?
Title: Absinth Post by: walrus on Wednesday, October 19, 2005, 18:44:01 Quote from: "Onion_Jimbo" bristol nightlife is bigger and better. More pubs, clubs and ladies. Although everytime I go there something bad happens. you wont get in any pubs with a swindon shirt though. Bristol it is. I'll jus have to hardcore it on the train and hope no bald men with tatoes want to hurt me. Least I'll have my girlfriend to protect me... Title: Absinth Post by: Onion_Jimbo on Wednesday, October 19, 2005, 18:44:34 revolution?
Title: Absinth Post by: McLovin on Wednesday, October 19, 2005, 18:48:11 i went out the other friday in Bristol. Went to Ramshackle at the Academy, was a wicked good indie night.
then i got lost on my own til 5am. Title: Absinth Post by: Ralphy on Wednesday, October 19, 2005, 18:48:34 Thats the fella, Revolution.
Susposed to be a big club? Title: Absinth Post by: Onion_Jimbo on Wednesday, October 19, 2005, 18:52:12 I cant remember where I have been. Think I went to revolution and it was small. but i was boshed. That was when i got my hair cut for the first time in a year.
Title: Absinth Post by: Ralphy on Wednesday, October 19, 2005, 18:54:47 Isn't there a club called Lacota or something similar ??
Title: Absinth Post by: Onion_Jimbo on Wednesday, October 19, 2005, 18:58:31 I dunno. The newest place is Oceana which is a chain of clubs. Ive been to the one in London and it totally rules. so hopefully this one will be similar

I enjoy the propper stuff. It works a treat Hate the watered down crap, never tried the real deal. Can you still buy it ? I remember that day well. It was our wedding day. She was dredding an England loss! Title: Absinth Post by: Onion_Jimbo on Wednesday, October 19, 2005, 19:07:44 you used to be able to get it in bar cuba. Im not sure of anywhere that does it in Swindon. Possibly Revolutions please
Title: Absinth Post by: Onion_Jimbo on Wednesday, October 19, 2005, 19:08:04 I've no idea why I just said please either
Title: Absinth Post by: Sade on Wednesday, October 19, 2005, 20:17:40 I thought Evolution was the big club by the harbour In bristol?I looked inside there once when it was new and its very nice.I might be going out in bristol for my cousins 18th :? scared.
Title: Absinth Post by: Danjackson10 on Wednesday, October 19, 2005, 20:21:31 It is nasty as shit, but for a bigger kick try Red Nephew! crazy shit 65% proof! The worst I have ever had was loopyjuice (Ghanian Rum) Fucking nuts! Made me helusinate!
Title: Absinth Post by: Sippo on Wednesday, October 19, 2005, 20:22:33 Bristol is a dive. have been in reflex after the last game at Ashton gate though. Had a sweatshirt over the top once got in though it was straight off 8) Evolution is a dive of a place. Sade's right it is on the waterfront. The clientel is like mission. Chavs.
Whiteladies road is the best in bristol if you had to go anywhere. But for a little further Cardiff is miles better imo. Title: Absinth Post by: Sippo on Wednesday, October 19, 2005, 20:24:29 http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/bristol/4301880.stm

My sister got married the day before that match and I went to Oz the day after. Fucking quality days. As for absinth when I satyed in a hostel in Prague for three months the record for drinking the proper stuff was five before losing the ability to do anything. I had a couple before I got on the night train to Budapest which was fun!! Title: Absinth Post by: mattboyslim on Thursday, October 20, 2005, 11:08:59 That was the day after my Summer ball in first year at Uni, 500 battered studens watching the game over breakfast in a combo of England shirts and dinner suits. The the Argy match on the firday was the after the legendary vodbull night in brum, drank 5 pints watching that even though I was still smashed, I only really remeber the nigeria game from the group stages.
Title: Absinth Post by: Kinky Tom on Thursday, October 20, 2005, 11:15:46 The Argy match was on the day of the ball in my first year - one of the greatest days ever that was! :)
Title: Absinth Post by: mattboyslim on Thursday, October 20, 2005, 11:18:15 I also had a ball the day we won the rugby world cup, far to many tossers singing rugby songs that day, I was a proper miserable git when refusing to join in the singing of sweet chariot at the end of th speeches.
Title: Absinth Post by: Amir on Thursday, October 20, 2005, 12:30:13 Quote from: "Ralphy" I've never been out in Bristol, what's Evolution like? A dive :D Closed at the moment due to the level of disorder in and around the club. Hopefully it will stay that way. Lakota when I used to go was always considered the best club in the region. Back then(7/8 years ago) it was a mainly drum and bass club, now it's mainly house and commercial dance I think. Title: Absinth Post by: BrightonRed on Thursday, October 20, 2005, 15:08:46 Quote from: "Danjackson10" It is nasty as shit, but for a bigger kick try Red Nephew! crazy shit 65% proof! Without wanting to piss on any fireworks, 65 proof is actually only 37.1% AbV (or 32.5%using the American proof calculation) Unless of course you're referring to 65% AbV which is pretty strong stuff, on a par with most over the counter Absinthes. Title: Absinth Post by: oxford_fan on Thursday, October 20, 2005, 16:30:02 this thread nearly made me buy a bottle in sainsburys today but i just resisted, it was £16.99, 55%
Title: Absinth Post by: Dazzza on Thursday, October 20, 2005, 21:42:52 Polish Vodka is another dirty fave but one of the worst I've seen in actio has to be mezcal a tequila variant in a minatures bottle complete with worm.
Utterly hammered or vomit seems to be the outcome. Quote The drink that has worms in and is often confused with tequila is mezcal, a related but different beverage produced in Mexico. The grub in question is the agave worm (gusano rojo) and there are several theories about its presence in the bottle. One of these is that the worm guarantees the strength of the distilled spirit. Another is that the worm is supposed to endow special powers and is said to have hallucinogenic properties. The addition of the worm to bottles of mezcal dates from the early 1950's and while consumption of it has become somewhat of a young man's rite of passage, it is, in essence, a marketing ploy. Today, you'll find one mezcal listed at BC Liquor Stores: Gusano Rojo Mezcal (SKU #286591 — $39.95). Yes, it has a worm.

Lakota's is a quality club if you're into your banging trance and techno, or at least it was a few years ago....not sure what goes on there now. The sound system is loud as fook!
