a strange one indeed! I have tried it and i didnt really like it, its like a very cheap nasty wine, (No offence to anyone who likes it) most people I knew only drank it because it was easy to get drunk on. But gay as this may sound if you mix it with the original west coast cooler (the clear one) its actually very nice. Spot the student! Why do you ask?

Made with the finest of monk toenail clippings, nicely chilled yum. ??? ???

Just wondering why you have brought up the subject of house wine? Is one planning of using it as festival fodder sometime soon??

you should it effects you like no other beverage.
It's aslo a great carry out if weight is an issue.................I'd rather carry 2 bottles of tonic than 12 tins of beer any day!!!!!

Beware fellow travellers Buckfast will give the inards a good cleaning if you get my meaning. :-X

oh holy f*uck im in tears laughin here !

that pic is priceless.

i must get it printed about a thousand times and distribute it round the town.....i live in lurgan by the way.

yes Buckfast wine is locally known as lurgan champagne and its the tipple of choice for chavs spideys and fukwits of all calibres. first time i drank it was in a pint glass with ice down in tigers bay(belfast) last thing i heard two big girls say before i blacked out was `he has no idea the danger hes in`!!!

anyway i lived through that but dont touch Bucky anymore.

by the way,its the mental amount of caffeine in it that keeps you going all night( that should read `being a fucking arsehole and annoying the tits off everyone else who wants to get to sleep)

i recommend you give it a try once lol then just live with the memories,if you have any  ;D
