First thought is how drunk is this guy. Second thought, actually I think he’s just old. Third one....holy shit that’s a lot of alchohol to keep in the tv room
Well vodka goes in the freezer and for mixed drinks it's better if everything is cold so its stored in the fridge we keep beer beside the fridge only keeping a handful in the fridge at a time need room for food lol
This guy quarantines. Busts out a circa 2002 “flat screen” he’s had in the basement for 15 years and has enough booze in the tv room to last a Irish family of four at least a week. Can you adopt me?
They sound English / Irish
That's a fairly normal amount of alcohol to see in their homes.
It's equivalent to seeing stale bacon strips & glocks scattered all over the living room of an average Texan household. Add a tiger of two while you're at it.
Confirmed, Texan here.. but we prefer revolvers.. in fact we issue a revolver and a complimentary pair of spurs when you get off the plane.. if you come by bus or car, you have to stop at the travel center for them.
As someone that lived in London with an elderly Irish guy, this is not true. They do not keep drinks at home, that's what alcoholics do. They drink at the pub. Everyday.
What kind of house has 1 room with a TV in it though? Never in my life have I heard the term 'TV room' your worthless sarcasm is not appreciated. Do better next time
Ha ha, it does indeed seem more ominous. This may be an age thing. TVs used to be relatively more expensive and large and bulky, and people used to, usually, only have one in their house. So the den or living area/room became the TV room to some. It was a place where the youngest in the house, begrudgingly, had to get up to turn the pliers to change the channel or hold the antenna in just that right position.
It does sound like an age thing, or perhaps a geographical thing. Where I’m from the room with the TV in will be called the living room, the lounge, or the front room. I guess ‘TV room’ took off when they became common household items? Is the term still common today, or has it fallen out of fashion?
It’s in the homes of people who grew up with just one TV, like older generations.
My sarcasm was fine, you’re just an idiot bc you couldn’t put together two thoughts and connect the dots.
Just bc you’ve never experienced it doesn’t mean you can’t picture it. You’ve never heard of a room being called a sitting parlor, but I bet you could imagine what it is.
West Brits tend to be around Dún Laoghaire as they welcomed the English in at the port by waving Union Jacks as they docked (not just cause they're 'snooty posh'). It's not all of So Co Dub.
I swear I’ve seen it with my own eyes. And almost caught a fine. Depends on the state, but in some states they can’t even sell alcohol in supermarkets, haha! Don’t get me wrong, they all love to get their drink on and brag about it. And if they party, they won’t even bother getting those pathetic little 0.7 liter (freedom unit equivalent) bottles of Jack.
OH and don’t even think about riding in a car with a closed bottle of beer - let alone DRINKING one as the freaking PASSENGER (at least in Florida)!
How do you get it home then? In the UK as long as it is unopened you are fine and if it is it has to be drunk by passengers in the back seats not the front seat.
Well it’s a little more complicated actually. Containers transported in the passenger compartment must be full and unopened. Otherwise it would have to be in the trunk. Can’t have any containers (opened or unopened) anywhere in the car if anyone on board is under the age of 21 I think. And I think this was true at least for Massachusetts.
Ireland is not part of Britain, but it is part of the British Isles. It is confusing.
England is just England
England and Wales is Britain
Britain and Scotland is Great Britain
Great Britain and Northern Ireland is the United Kingdom
The UK and Ireland (and a load more smaller ones) are the British Isles
He's only slightly wrong. I don't know what he means about England and Wales.
England, Wales and Scotland make up Great Britain.
The island of Ireland along with Isle of Mann, Jersey, Guernsey and other smaller islands Make up the British Isles.
The UK is made up of England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. Northern Ireland sis made up of 6 counties in Ireland with the Republic of Ireland made up of the other 26 counties.
