Is Acceptable To Drink Half Pints On A Football And Beer Night?

[mrtoad]

After a rather interesting evening of football, rugby and beer an eminent ex-member of the football forum was seen ordering a half pint , before quickly pouring it into a pint glass. Is this acceptable, as the drinking of half pints in my book is pretty dubious.

I wont mention the other person who at one point was wearing a pink hairclip .......

It wasn't me on either accounts The pink hair clip would not fit over my head dress

The half pint member was last seen disappearing down Soi Cowboy with a Big Toe in hot persuit

It is NEVER acceptable to order a half pint.

Especially if you call yourself a football fan

BEER BEER BEER BEER, BEER BEER BEER BEER ,BEER BEER BEER BEER, BEER BEER WONDERFUL BEER

Almost anything goes in the land of smiles.

[Jockstar]

Probably a shandy drinker too.

It would only be understandable if your name was Ken Barlow or Albert Tatlock, and even then it would be viewed as being a wuss

These functions sound a good laugh. I will make an effort over the next couple of weeks to come and join you, will be nice to meet you toady and the rest of you guys

[Jockstar]

I also hope to be able to meet up with you all sometime this year. Maybe around December.

[MiG16]

how about Sept/Oct this year

P Jockstar....make your visit home around that time....and we can meet back 'home'

[mrbojangles]

P.S. To answer the original question. NO, absolutely not. Banish him to the wilderness i say.

I find it a refreshing change that someone has chosen to drink in a responsible manner and good for him if he does not rise to the peer pressure that is prevalent in the Pub sports arena.

A half pint on a Bangkok Football night , that is outrageous !!!!! .

But I think we can give the man in question only a yellow card as ( if it's who I think it is , which it probably is ) that probably wasnt his last beer of the night !!!!!.

A good night then .

[britmaveric]

Normally ladies only drink half pints - well that used to be the way - now its full pints for everyone. I'm actually surprised the half pint still exists.

I do hope your taking the p*** Richie

Anyway, I had to drink alone last night, the "Toad" was on domestic duty ( Brownie point collecting ) & I think the other footy members Were still swanning around Soi Cowboy so had to entertain myself

I will assume that you are having a laugh, which I certainly hope so, considering that this is a joke thread . If you didn't get the joke then I'm truly sorry.

As for peer pressure, there is very little of that within our group of friends, we are all more than capable of acting in a responsible manner and maing our own decisions. I have posted this just in case you are serious.

Look forward to having a beer with you, we are getting out quite regular these days as they are always good fun a few beers, food and a couple of matches, and the group is starting to get a bit bigger.

That was a joke but what about pouring a bottle of beer into a half pint glass - are bottled beers acceptable? Or must you drink directly from the bottle to avoid the howls of derision?

Come along & find out my freind. I understand glasses & assorted drinking vessels are provided...if required.

I heard strange behaviour occurred just after midnight. Everyone had paid their bills. This man was waiting to move to next bars. The Italian and Scottish man with pink hair clip, had already said he was not going any further. But the man with the feather hat, and the man with the big appendige said they would go.

Then the man with feathers and the man with a big appendige were taking so long, the other man was a bit "jai rawn" because he had an empty glass.

Also he did not want his friends to "lose face" and feel so bad at their slow drinking like girls. One was also falling asleep again. So he asked the nice Thai waitress for half a pint and for the next few minutes while he was waiting, because he didn't want to start another big bill.

I also heard that the man with feathers disappeared from this man, and the man with the big appendige at the next bars. Does anyone know what happened to him and his feathers. As he used to be a cowboy, and is now an Indian, may he met the construction man or the sailor at the YMCA...

The said man with feathers decided to have a drink in the bar instead of going in & out from bar to bar without having a drink. Closing time was looming large so did not want to waste the trip down the soi in question.

Is it because you are scared of Cowboys?

Depends what beer.

Thanks Chavy, unfortunately I am going to stay with the outlaws for a month in ueatgoi in Ubon province on Wednesday for a month before I evacuate to Hanoi for a year - I hear the local brew (Bia hoi) is 5 bht a glass there, allegedly the cheapest beer in the world and cable TV is plentiful -

Cheers mate, good luck to you and your team (as long as its not BCFC, BRFC, ECFC)
