Note: champagne, NOT a bottle of their own product.
That says A LOT doesn't it?

^ This.
Buckfast is fucking horrible stuff. Tried it once, never again.

she came home from a meeting with them
and said the monks had given her a christmas present. I was fully expecting a bottle of buckfast, but it is in fact a bottle of Moet. A significant improvement I suspect.

It could be Fizzy Buckie
Masquerading as Champagne. Anyone watch 'The Buckfast Code' documentary the other night. Nothing too amazing, but i was shocked to see that it contains more caffeine than Red Bull, and that therefore goes a long way to explaining why cunts get so mental on it.

The pompous prick who distributed the Buckfast wouldn't accept that they would be best placed to change certain aspects of their brand, eg: put it into plastic bottles, lower the amount of caffeine in the recipe.

Don't get me wrong, i'm not demonising the stuff, but the chilling mix of strong bevvy, massive amounts of caffeine and a handy glass bottle/weapon is a triumverate of potential misery.

And they're monks as well.
Highly trained, aggressive kung fu monks, I shouldn't wonder.

Buckfast Tonic Wine
made by monks in an abbey not far from where I live. It's pretty strong and has a fuck load of caffeine in it. Drink of choice for Glaswegian tramps.

Technically, the actual tramps never seem to drink it.
It's the Neds and people under say 40, that seem to gravitate towards it. The tramps seem to go for Tudor Rose, which is a kind of sherry abortion, strong cider and Supers.

it was also
the most common "empty" found in stadiums and the Cineworld by the bus station when I did security there.

Also the most empty.

Beloved drink of Scottish and Norn iron alcoholics.
They have it on optics in most rural pubs in the more backward parts of Norn Iron. The kind where you turn up on your tractor.
