Guess what? Iam drinking it right now. Superb and dangerously drinkable!

I worked in pub on Xmas day from 12pm to 3pm many years ago. No complaints as I was allowed to drink alcohol while working (usually punters paying me drinks!)

I'll be open from 12.30 on the big day - til 3pm, when M-I-Laws turkey needs my attention. Great fun - spot the christmas pressie is my game of choice, last years winner was a pair of socks that looked like 2 pints of Guinness. The bloke pulled up his trouser leg to show us, and the locals made sure it didn't come back down again until he left the building!

it is named after a very famous racehorse, its picture is on the pub sign ;), I remember going on a brewery trip with some sailors, unfortunately some were so drunk they couldn't get off the bus:D.

I used to drink the stuff on draught many years ago, brilliant but dangerous. Even the pub I drank it in has been demolished now.

I am working over Christmas and will have to remain dry until the 28th :(

Roll on Hogmanay :glass::glass:

I wonder how Mickey1234 is getting on. Students , Squaddies and booze can be a volatile mix. I hope everyone gets home safe, may be bruised but un bowed.

hey ho or is that ho ho .. anyway saturdays major disruption occurred outside the foresters Inn beckside beverley .. whilst i was causing terminal traffic congestion with me coach as various sergeant ranking squaddies took their time to board from said pub to a 5 in the morning do on camp .. passing drivers started to sound their horns .. the climax being when a taxi driver got out of his car to attend to said sergeant squaddies giving v salutes and was beaten to the ground .. after a short compromise with the soon on the scene police chappies we were allowed to continue our journey .. it was a welcome pint of Snecklifter followed me evenings work ..
