Corona - yuppy beer?
Mar 12 2008 20:18
SUTEIVP have organised marches from San Luis Potosí to Mexico City (over 400km) and established a permanent presence outside the headquarters of Grupo Modelo and its sister companies, the US embassy and the JFCyA offices in the capital, with whom they have lodged an appeal against their ruling. Internationally, it calls for a boycott of Modelo products, which to readers outside Mexico will mean giving up yuppy favourite Corona beer.
Alan, surely that is a bit harsh?

I put it to you that Corona is a delicious beer and the vast majority of people who enjoy this beer are not yuppies, what say you

It tastes like piss and is more expensive than beer that doesn't. And putting a slice of lemon i the neck of the bottle is for wankers.

Hennessy Cognac is my drink of choice these days.

Corona is loverly. Lime segment, my friends. The perfect way to wash down the evening’s first E. Though a shared bottle of Magners in a glass with ice can be very nice. A whole one can be a bit heavy going if you're doing pills.

Carousel you middle class wanker. I bet you have a nice place of fried scampi in breadcrumbs and sauteed potatoes with your Magners too.

You've been following me about. I like to drink on an empty stomach as it happens. Maybe a couple of fibresure caps to stop the runs. Plus a couple of vitamin pills. Vitamin B is where it’s at. Stops Wernicke-Korsakoff.

Oven-roasted new potatoes with fresh rosemary, seasalt and black pepper, surely? And as for scampi 
. You really need to keep up with middle class culinary mores, Alan.

Sorry, my barometer of middle class pub trends is the Walpole next to New Cross station...

The Walpole serves Thai food

Have they stopped doing really piss-poor Thai food, then? The end of an era.

How the fuck do you know that Jef? And they do a bizarre combination of Thai and English food, ie if you order an English breakfast you get egg foo yung with chips.
The scampi and fries thign is more a Hobgoblin tip, but seeing as how that's a student and passive aggressive alcoholic stop I changed last minute to The Walpole, especially since one time me and The "head as shiny as a" Button spent far too much on like 3 drinks there.

A friend used to live nearby and they used to have some guys play Gypsy Jazz on Wednesdays so I used to go there for that.

fuck, I remember the walpole thai food - not very good
Mar 13 2008 00:13

It smells faintly of piss, which is a bad sign in Thai food, IMO. Cheap fish sauce. Or piss. Neither is good.

probably piss, they do lock the thai people in the cellar.

Some "dodgy geezers" from round Millwall came in when we were in the Walpole once and all my nerdy teacher friends were getting a bit freaked but the lads were all ok when they found out I was from Belfast - cos they thought everyone from Belfast was hard - haha, the fools!!!

That rendition of The Sash probably helped as well. Thank God for sectarianism.

I started whistling the Sash at International Womens Day last weekend and was told to hush
IT'S MY BLOODY COUNTRY!

I post on a couple of folk music forums that are stuffed with fucking seppo plastic paddies. My suggestion of The Sash as one of "the best tunes to play on Paddy's Day" was not particularly well-received.

Yuppie beer is great. Corona is definitely not yuppie beer. (It might have been in the 1980s, along with Heineken?)

pacifico is better.

There is a lot of crying going on in this thread. Corona is a delicious beer.

Negro Modelo is good beer and goes great with mex food. Honestly Corona is watery piss.. but tasty at the club/beach.

The joke being that Alan is a home counties brat who is an anarchist because he hated the rules at his private school!
Corona really, really isn't a yuppy beer and scampi has never been aspirational middle class, though it could be said to be aspirational plebian food.

Yeah how the fuck is scampi aspirational middle-class food? It's common-as-muck shite. I miss scampi fries ,the fake-ass crisp not the actual scampi, I don't think I even had scampi ever, precisely because my ma had middle-class aspirations.

Scampi-flavoured Nik Naks are (were?) where it's at. Jack likes scampi fries, although it's probably a faux proletarian affectation in his case.

Almost certainly "will this make me prole yeah?"
My ma so wanted to be middle class she made us bring a packed lunch because dinners were too common.
Corona - right, now, I don't know ANYTHING about drinking. But I have watched a lot of people drink over the years and while you're all wankers, Corona drinkers are definitely bigger wankers 
Alan it is meant to say
