The EURO 2024 Football ⚽, beer 🍺 and music 🎶 MEGA-THREAD

[WeeGord]

I know, I know... it's not even quite 9am on a Friday morning and already I'm starting the regular thread. I hear you.

BUT... today is the day, its the start of a month of (hopefully) exciting games, loads of goals and if there is a God, capped with a mighty Euro win for England and Sir Gareth.

Heading off shortly to Newcastle where 7 of us are flying to Dusseldorf to spend a week aroud the North Rhine-Westphalia region taking in some days in Cologne, Dusseldorf, Dortmund and Gelsenkirchen along with a day trip to Arnhem on Wednesday to see Green Day! Craking week planned.

Should everything go to plan we'll arrive in Remscheid (otherwise known as Ashington in Germany) in time to drop our stuff off then head out for a beer or three to watch Germany v Scotland and hopefully a cracking start to the tournament!

So on that note.... cheers folks, and here's to a great Euro 2024 tournament!

Sheesh. Can't match that. Cup of coffee and ploughing through overnight emails. And keeping in the spirit...

Have a brilliant time WeeGord btw.

Brilliant. Just returned from Holland this week and those Europeans are so much nicer than us. Still, come on England!

One of the lucky ones to get tickets. A while since I have seen them. Have a good time.

Nipping out to do a few DIY jobs for my youngest but will be back for kick off and a few beers.
Have a great weekend everyone.

Tennents lager specially ordered and delivered from the brewery in Glasgow, chilling ready for the opening game this evening.

I can't abide Tennants when i was at sea that's what we had to drink, the only good thing was the dolly bird on the can.

I’ve been playing the new Slash blues album “Orgy of the Damned” this week; not a bad track on it and I’m about to open a Tiny Rebel tinny and then settle down to watch the Germany game.

On Saturday we have our season ticket holders get together where we cook dishes from the countries all playing tomorrow and sit and watch the games while eating our grub and drinking beer and wine.

It’s a while since they had tarts on tins

 

[hobblewobble]

It has been 46 years, but I have not drunk it since.

 

[bumface]

Well I'm being really posh. I've ordered a pizza from that place on Leven Road to scoff while I'm watching the game and I'll be drinking plenty of brown booze this evening. I'm probably going to break my own rules and have a beer or three before it even gets dark. I'm such a f*cking rebel.

Massive queue outside the MFA. Not great. Long wait.

 

[sadgit]

Not envious at all. Sat on my own in a hotel drinking water and this beauty popped up
