3 MANLY DRINKS TO ORDER IN A LONDON PUB THAT WON’T MAKE YOU SEEM LIKE A SISSY, MARY AMERICAN.

About to walk into a seedy London pub and with zero knowledge of man’s man drinks? Fear not. Here are 3 pints you can order without worrying if the locals are going chuck darts in your direction.



SNAKE BITE: Made with 1 part cider (alcoholic apple juice) and 1 part lager. Prove your knowledge by asking the barkeep if he (or she) is going to add a dash of blackcurrant cordial, "black". It's a custom in some areas. FYI...has a very sharp taste, hence the name.



DARK and SMOOTH: Guinness beer mixed with Port wine. A bit on the strong side. Good order for top of the line bars as well as the down and dirties.



BLACK and TAN: The most popular of the beer bunch. B&T is a stout mixed with a lager. If it’s done right you’ll see the two beers separate. Smooth and bitter peacefully coexisting.

HOTTEST FEMALE RUGBY PLAYERS.

by Biz-Boy (NWM Staff Writer)

WARNING: This article is written by a stupid American with absolutely no understanding of the sport. As far as I’m concerned, Rugby consists of hairy men running around with no type of protection and beating the piss out of each other. Oh yeah, there’s a ball involved, and the losers have to do anal chugs. Of course, like every men’s sport there is the women’s equivalent. Currently there are ‘bout 200,000 women rugby players in the world. And from what I’ve seen (on Youtube) this ain’t a watered down Victoria Secret version. These chicks are out for blood. That being said there are some hotties in this brazen bunch.

WHAT THE HELL IS A SCOTCH EGG?


Walk in to any authentic pub and you’re bound to see this on the menu with the fish & chips, shepherd’s pie and blood sausage.

So what is it?

For starters, it was invented back in 1738 (before diets) by the London department store Fortnum & Mason. The Scotch Egg is essentially a shelled hardboiled egg, wrapped in sausage rolled in breadcrumbs and deep-fried. Normally it’s served with salad and pickles. The US tends to serve ‘em with hot sauce or ranch dressing.

Nasty Nutrition Stats (1 egg):

  • Calories = 258
  • Carbs = 13.3g
  • Fat = 17.7g
  • Cholesterol = 270mg

Best beer to have with it:

Goes nicely with a warm, bitter brew like Uncle Teddy’s Bitter, Hophead or Bitchin Bitter.
