TT Tuesday drinks - discussion archive

Roger, so sorry to hear your off. it will be a quieter duller place without you around.
Take care and I wish you all the best. Oh yeah, and have fun snapping away at all those swedish ladeez...

you can't leave!!!

i will be there on Tuesday to say good bye to my favourite Irish man!!!
And will be looking forward to listening to all the weird stories about Stockholm you've got to tell, when being back in Munich.

Evil plan: We could organise a TT trip to stockholm to help him to get some information for his stockholmnights.com

That's not an evil plan, that's a good plan

I'll be there on Tuesday for sure!

Congratulations on the move!
I hope to be there on Tues, depends on my flight as I'll be coming back from AMS that afternoon.

Sad to see you leave Roger, TT will definately be different from now on. If it isn't only for the fact that there will less party photos.

But make sure you gather enough information for your stockholmnights.com. San and I will be there early September to see if you bar knowledge in Stockholm can compete with the one you have of Munich .

And ofcourse I'll be there next Thuesday to see (or drink) you off...

28th July to 1st August sounds like fun time to be in town:

Hey, no, it just won't be the same without you.

I am usually in Stockholm quite often, so will have to look you up when coming up ! Will definately try to make it Tuesday, hope work permits it !

I could phone in sick tomorrow for Tuesday !

I expect to see lots of pics of swedish butts on keydeck.com and various reports about where the best bargirls are and girls in general.
Enjoy something other than Munich and let us know how it goes.

Damn Rog, as usual am away for work. All my best to ya. Sorry Munich couldn't see your value and keep ya.
Does moving to Stockholm also mean you will give up drink? Alcohol is pretty expensive up there, no?

The Irish pub in the city centre of Stockholm, damm cannot remember the name (just know the way from the central park) is pretty good. Have spent a lot of time there during my visits to Stockholm.

So far I've been in The Dubliner...not bad, live music most nights and certainly a good option for watching sports, Wistroms...the business, winding staircase, rooms off rooms, cavernous feel, good music, The Loft...closed, possibly for ever, The Bull & Bear...English, too expensive for what you get, have to order at the bar, not the Mae West and finally O'Connells...trying to hard at the Irishness whereas with Wistroms it comes more naturally, louder more boistress crowd, too bloody green. I noticed that there's a large amount of pubs claiming to be English pubs. A couple of dozen as against the one or two here in Munich. Also did a number of Swedish bars, The Ice Bar and a Bavarian kneipe (Zum Franziskaner).

Most places serve bar food although the range is usually fairly limited. Beer costs between about €3 and €6.50 from what I saw. Many bars have a 23 age limit on them and this tends to be enforced in a fairly sexist way. Cute chickies get preference regardless of age. Some places have an enforced cloakroom policy. You must leave your coat with the attendant and you must pay about €1 to do so.

Standard way to ask for a beer is either by naming the brand, Pripps or Mariestad for example or just asking for a Stor Stark (generic term for a strong one). Alcohol content of beers is an issue. Bars serve anything from about 3.5% to 5.5%. Supermarkets can only sell up to 3.5%, anything stronger you must go to the government run off-license. Many bars have a gambling table with official croupier inside the door. Blackjack was the game of choice in the places I saw it.

Random facts.

You have full mobile signal on the underground. Ringtones tend to be set quite loud and by and large are all fancy polyphonic ditties.

Couples with children mostly have a boy and a girl who is about 1.5 to 2 years older. The children will be blonde regardless of the parents. I suspect government involvement.

People do not have a concept of the idea of personal space. Similarly to here only more so.

The islands out in the archipelago are spectacular. Lush green vegetation, huge smooth rocks at the waters edge, picture postcard stuff. I suspect government involvement.

Written Swedish is some ways resembles German. Many words are the same or similar. Spoken Swedish resembles a pot of carrots boiling over...but in a lyrical way.

Not bad for seven days.

Thanks for the kind words guys. Am looking forward to Tuesday already.

Count me in for tuesday, I will have your latest food parcel from the UK for you.

Definately up for it... I'll bring the guitar... the question being, is it the guitar-farewell for you or for us?

Does anyone else have inflatable toys (which can be displayed legally in public) which they could donate?!

Not sure if I can make it on Tuesday.

@JoolyBooly: I'm the proud owner of a green inflatable guitar - I'll discuss with the person who gave it to me if it's alright to lend it to you...

Sorry to hear you're heading off.

I enjoyed Stockholm greatly, until my Swedish girlfriend dumped and then it lost its sparkle. What exactly are you going to be doing there ?

Anyway buy you a beer on Tuesday !

As Keydeck will most likely be getting bought far more beers than even he can drink, I will sacrifice myself to drink any other free pints that might otherwise get tossed away.

trust me, he ALWAYS drinks his beer...ALWAYS, and faster then you can say "paralelepípedo" (it is actually a word, in portuguese)...

wish you all the best Rog, rugby games in murphys wont be the same without your presence and your drinking abilities -be that beer, or milk (no need for that extra cow we got you anymore)

not sure about Tuesday yet, but if I am off, I will definitely come around (not as the beer fairy though)

It's a word in English, too - parallelopiped - it's a 3D version of a parallelogram.

Just wondered where exactly she "dumped" that had the profound effect of sparkle loss MadAxeBloke? Was it in the bed? On the glass coffee table in the lounge? In the fridge?

If my new digital camera turns up then I would love to come out for a beer! Obviously without a smart digital camera on my hip it would be like turning up with no trousers on etc...

Good Luck anyway Roger

Sorry to see you go Roger, but hope its a good move for you!
Careful you don't overdose on blondes mind, the come-down is pretty severe I hear.
Anyway, will be there on Tuesday too.

Would very much like to see you off mang...but a few prior commitments mite interfere...will try and stop by.

sorry I won't be there to wish you well. enjoy your time in stockholm!

I already said I am coming down, but I can't see in this thread WHERE it's going to happen...

To keep things simple the location will be Kilian's Irish Pub at the back of the Frauenkirche.

I'll book a few tables in the back section from about 7:30pm.

PM me for my phone number if you need a contact. I'll be checking my messages later on today.

Looking forward to seeing you all for a final few beverages

Roger, you know I love this location!!!

My favourite Munich Irish pub! Will definitely be there!

Hello Roger, I am new to this group and hence I dont know you... but I will be there for your farewell :-)

Johhny, The thing she dumped was me. Most be a freudian slip that I forgot me in the sentence, or something much more sinister.

I´ll be there to say "auf Wiedersehen".

hey rog,

eventhough i'm no longer in munich it's sad to hear you're leaving TT...I can't believe you're leaving germany without learning any german!!! It's only been 6 years ya knob! it's alright i'm sure you'll pick up some swedish...Have a great time, go to IKEA and eat some swedish meatballs. Make sure to keep in touch and get over to the states..

Marc

drink an augustiner for me at Kilians. ..

Hey Pastaknob, good to hear from you. We'll raise a bottle to your memory at some stage of the proceedings.

Looking forward to seeing everyone this evening. The tables are booked in my name (that's Roger, not Keydeck), but just go down the stairs into Kilian's and turn to your left. [img]http://www.keydeck.com/smilies/gathering.gif[/img] The area down the back end has been reserved. I'll be there from 19:30 anyways.

Both Kilian's and it's immediate neighbour Ned Kelly's will be showing whatever football is on tonight (suitably I think Sweden are playing) and later on (or perhaps during breaks) Kilian's will have a blokey on guitar belting out a few tunes. [img]http://www.keydeck.com/smilies/cool%20guitar.gif[/img] I've heard him a couple of times before and he's none to hard on the eardrums. (that means he's good).

Later.

Couldnt see you go without saying goodbye dudey, so will be along later. Feeling like I have done ten rounds with Mike Tyson though (far too many days in a row on the sauce) so cannot guarantee how long I will be there for ...

Apologies in advance for how shit my chat will be, I seem to have left my brain in Murphys last night, anybody pick it up?

mmmmm. . . Kilians Burgers.

Will definetly be there Matey. Sorry to see you go and we will try to carry the torch while you are gone.

Cameras at the ready.

Mmmmmmm...

I'll be making a bee-line for the Irish Breakfast Pizza this evening. It goes under a different name now but is just as good. Oh, or perhaps the seriously spicy chicken pizza. Right, I'm starving now!

Have a good one Roger - I cannot make it now.

I should be able to make it tonight to wish you well on your next adventure. I'll be there at about 7:30pm too. TT won't be the same without you, keydeck. No photos of me looking like a ghost plastered all over the internet for one thing

Sad to see another one go, be sure to keep us posted about your adventures in Stockholm! And I mean photos too!!
Should be there around 7.30pm to have a drink, have to leave early though

as I'm still at work and no end in sight ( ) so it doesn't look like I'm going to make it I'm afraid

meant to give you that fat free cookbook too, judging from that photo from GM's that was in the paper...

sorry to see you go big guy, but hope the beer will be calling you back soon enough!

For anyone who is already missing Roger (and c'mon, who among us isn't ?), you can visit him for a Toytown Tuesday Stockholm visit for only €88 with GEXX. That's probably less for the flight than some of you spend out on a Tuesday.

Urf, great night last night although it was a bit of an oven down there. Thanks to everyone who came along and made it an excellent evening. There are plenty of photos that I'll have ready at some point in the not too distant future. I know Sparty & Bubblylady took some also.

Anyways, thanks to everyone, thanks for my classy yellow t-shirt, thanks for the minge flavoured bar snacks, thanks for the glass of Jameson, thanks for my Bombay Bad Boys, thanks to my mummy & daddy, thanks to my agent, production team and everyone at Universal studios - couldn't have done it without you, thanks to God above who made the world and all the little peoples on it - you the man!, thanks to Kathrin, Jimbo, Aaron, Harry, Memo, Steve, Ken, Eric, Debbie, Julie, Tif, Irina, Sander, Dave, Sabrina, Dirk, Karen, Jeff, Vince, Foxy, Ute, Silke, Gerd, the British 1st Light Infantry, Katrina, Andrea, Bene, Ian, other Dave, Cedric, Ulrike, the little 15 year old American bloke who fancied Ulrike, 15 year old American blokes mate, Oliver, French bloke, Daniel, Marc (present in spirit), our excellent waitress, big fat ugly vomitting bloke, and anyone who I have forgotten to name, I thank you (and I'm sorry for omitting you, it's not intentional).

I salute you all... [img]http://www.keydeck.com/smilies/thewave.gif[/img]

Keep up the good work.

Yes I did...

My shirt looks so psychadelic in that first photo.

Actually Julie has taken them... but without any "facilities" to download the pics from her camera... any advice? any help? any assistance? She surely will appreciate it, when she is out next time.
Hey Roger, where are your pics? Still missing the ones from GNO and Tuesday.

Hope you had a pleasant journey and arrived safely in Stockholm.


still can't belive she is from River Valley in Swords, Co Dublin...

It'll probably be a while yet before I get the photos sorted out. Took about 650 during the week here in Stockholm, about a hundred or so in Kilian's, then there was a lot more besides with GNO, football, parties, etc. I'll be editing till the cows come home.

p.s. Hi from Up Norf'.

Ok,

Anyone any plans for TT Tuesday?

If there weathers good, woudl be nice to do a beer garden. but if the weathers bad - we need somewhere indoors.

Suggestions anyone?

P

Suggestion:

How about the Paulaner Biergarten at Nockherberg (where the Starkbierfest was). If the weather's bad, I guess there's enough room inside as well.

Isn't it the 29th on Tuesday??

Nockherberg sounds cool, I haven't been there in a while and it's walking distance from home

Yeah ok. Have updated the thread title to 29th its been a long weekend of being on call and stuff

I just wanna go somewhere away from the football - lets see what everyone else suggests...

btw - is the Blue Guitar still here?

P

there is no football this tuesday, the semis are on Wednesday and Thursday.

I wish I could join you all...It'd be great to actually put some faces to all these personalities, but alas Tuesday is my birfday , so my hubby will be taking me out. Happy birthday to me!
