PROOF
Doesn't happen very often, but reminded of it on the weekend...

Was at a party having my ear chewed off by some bloke going on about some booze he drank that was stronger than Vodka... the stuff was "sixty per cent - PROOF!"

Which would make it 30% ABV.

Saying "PROOF!" doesn't make you sound hard.

It makes you sound like a fucking moron.

exactly!!!!
this boils my piss beyond belief!

spent 14 years in the trade and you would not believe the number of licenced victualers...no, hang on a minute...you would!

and anyway it's not %proof is it? it's degrees proof!

god those FLONGTARDS need to die!!

SO GLAD soeone else on this planet feels the way i do about this, have a click xxx

oh, and another thing...

angostura bitters ARE NOT TOXIC! fair enough the alcohol used in the manufacture is but then again ALL alcohol is toxic. the bark of the angostura tree is toxic but the bitters are named after the island and not the tree. a completely ignorant arsehole landlord refused me more than 2 dashes in my gin and tonic a couple of years ago insisting that it would be illegal to allow me more cos he would be poisening me! WTF??? if it were toxic then it would be illegal for him to have it in his pub, no?

feeling MUCH better now, thankyou x
