Snapshots of your life

Postby Bee Gees Fan » Tue Feb 27, 2007 1:09 pm

Similar to the photo thread we had - where we post either photos of ourselves, or of people/places from our lives.

I'm not in this picture - it's a picture of some of the people I used to hang around with in the 6th Form (Years 12 and 13.)



The boy at the front, in the green/greyish jumper is Edward.

The guy behind him, wearing the white T-shirt, is Ben.

Behind Ben, wearing the black T-shirt, is Andrew (nicknamed "Dougie".)

The guy with the glasses, next to Andrew, is Gary (he's the one I told you about, whose mother died in November.) All his friends call Gary "Paddy."

Next to Paddy, also wearing glasses, is Peter.

Nex to Peter is a girl named Cheryl.

They may not appreciate you putting photos of them on the internet. I'd be horrified if I thought someone was postings pictures of me on a site without me knowing about it, and if I did know I'd tell them not to.

Would they? I didn't consider that. But another of our group, a girl called Melissa, has the photo on her myspace page, where anyone can see it. I wouldn't have thought they'd mind.

Well, after all the beer talk on the Pancake thread, I couldn't resist!

Me in a place called McSorley's Pub in New York City.

Please bear in mind that this picture was taken the day we arrived and I had nearly missed our plane due to over sleeping and then I proceded to rinse my contacts down the sink. Once we arrived in New York, our cabbie was about 110 years old and nearly killed us by hitting the wall in one of the tunnels on a few occasions! It was a very, very long day and that beer went down REAL FAST!

Hey, great pic Rudy! :D

I love the look of the bar you're in - it look more like a good old-fashioned English pub with all that wooden panelling!

You've got a couple of dark beers in front of you too by the looks of it - what were they?

I personally wouldn't mind the picture, but it's definitely not wise to include their full names at least.

Nice pic, Rudy! :)

McSorley's was originally a Mens Only bar and it stayed that way until the 70's. It was a "press club" pub where all the men who worked in the press would gather and discuss the days events. The walls of the place are filled with photos and old news articles and various other mementos of an era gone by!

The only thing they serve there is beer and soda (coke or 7-up mainly). And the only type of beer they serve is McSorley's. You order either Light or Dark and you have to order two at a time. Thus, when you sit down, you say to the server 2 lights or 2 darks or 1 and 1 (meaning one of each). Depending on how many people you have. Generally, there are 3-4 of us so we split it down the middle. 4 and 4.

It's my absolute favorite place in New York. We've spent hours there. Met some really fun people in there as well.

Ah, thanks for the explanation! I'm not used to going to pubs where they only serve one brand of beer. Is there a discernable difference between the dark and light beers there? The dark beers over here are much 'heavier' and more akin to a meal than a drink! The place I used to frequent in my home town of Bradford has 12 real ales at any one time (including three 'guest' beers which they got a barrel each of to keep the turnover high). I'm actually going to a 'real ale festival' in Bradford on Thursday and look forward to sampling some of the 200+ ales they will have!

Oh, I used to go to 'mens only clubs' as well when I used to play league snooker. Shamefully they used to ban women from attending so if you had a wife or girlfriend they had to stay at home! :shock:

McSorley's is the only place I know of that serves only one brand of beer. It's pretty decent beer but it's not on the level of true dark beer. It's more like the "red" beers that we have here. I like it but it's not like sitting down with a Guinness or a heavy bock beer.

Plus, if you notice, the beers are rather small. They are only about 8 oz. mugs. They go down right quickly though!

Yes, now you mention it I think I've got a couple of mugs that size. Just over half a pint, if memory serves.

'Red' beer sounds vile. Is that similar to 'root beer'?

It's pretty good actually. It's sort of a cross between a regular lager and something a bit heavier. It's got a bit of red tinge to it. The best of the "red" lot is a Wisconsin brewed called Leinenkugels Red.

We have some darker beers that are 'ruby red' when held up to the light. They sound similar to that.

I thought most pubs only sold Carling here ? ;)

Foul stuff.. heaven knows why its sold everywhere (and I mean, everywhere) in this country as the default lager. "Taste of Britain" my arse.. I notice that message has disappeared off the cans recently, did the UK tourist board have a hand in this ? ;)

You're right; I'll edit it. Maybe I'll get rid of the picture in a few days' time. I like it, though; it's a nice reminder of school.

I remember I used to fancy Peter in Year 7 and Year 8. I think Paddy looks quite nice.

I love the name you've chosen for that second JPEG - 'Killer Kitty'! :lol:
