OcUK Beers of the World Mk2 Weekly Results - Round N -

DirtyJester · 8 Jun 2013 at 20:04

Two things I'd like a state...

1) 'IF' another competition is run I'd strongly advise everyone take the time to read through the suggestions and air any concerns or ask any questions. This is a major benefit to everyone involved.

2) I should have just left this as the 'Shilling round', my mistake and I hereby put it on record as the first time a rule has been changed midway though the competition. Lesson learnt.

N - Numbered (anything related to money ie Shilling beer etc)

It was also agreed symbol ie £ $ etc and slang.

Mike306 stated in his email:
The Beer is 'Brakspear Oxford Gold' http://www.brakspear.co.uk/our_beer/
and the slang term is 'Oxford' being the slang for 5 shillings

References;

"oxford = five shillings (5/-), also called a crown, from cockney rhyming slang oxford scholar = dollar, dollar being slang for a crown." http://www.learnenglish.de/slang/moneyslang.htm

"Oxford 5 shillings or a crown [cockney rhyming slang = Oxford Scholar]" http://www.ladykentmores.com/page15.htm

"Oxford - 5 shillings or a crown [derived from Oxford Scholar which rhymes with dollar which, pre-war, was just under 5 shillings" http://www.aldertons.com/money.htm

PapaLazaru said:
Well mine is bloody lovely and it ought to be, at £2.99 for a 33cl bottle.

Pretty sure it can count as I have asked a few people what would I mean if I said ***, and they all said 'an amount of money'.

I wish the country it is from made some more of this type of craft beer as they are generally known for only a couple of brands.

pingwing stated:
Corona Extra my good sir, Corona is Latin for crown, crown is a money in places like Denmark and Czech Republic and other places.

seabiscuit said:
ok, resized

I believe you DJ.

Any chance though I could ask you to edit my name out of the photo's, if you'd be so kind.

Sorry mate, I hadn't noticed your full name. I've removed the image until I cover it. Apologies.

DirtyJester · 8 Jun 2013 at 20:35

Don't forget...

ALL with a valid entry have a vote on Mike306, PapaLazaru and pingwing.

Seabiscuits non entry, I'm sorry mate as you can see with the image posted I didn't receive anything from your goodself. It has happened before and the result was the same, no points.

DirtyJester · 8 Jun 2013 at 20:44

seabiscuit said:
Awwww, so sad now.
I just have beer and MrsS now to console me. Not necessarily in that order.

Sorry mate, like I said it has happened before (not with yourself I might add) and no points were given. It's not as if the email arrived a few mins late, it still isn't showing in your folder even now

Sorry.

Mrs Seabiscuit said:
ok please may i request no points for me please thanks xxx

Yes you may indeed request it, but it aint happening.

seabiscuit said:
DJ, can I ask IF it does arrive, can you look at all the mesage header detail stuff to see the time it was sent to maybe reconsider at that point. Not holding out much hope that it will arrive, but none the less, it at least gives me some hope.

If it does arrive I'll gladly post in here the details. Having said that, the rules clearly state:

4) You may send your picture into the competition email address from the Sunday night right up until the Saturday but the email MUST be in the inbox by 8.00pm of each Saturday night (anything after this time will NOT count).

Windle said:
Lesson learned Seabiscuit, always ask the question. One of the earlier rounds the photo disappeared from my email to DJ somehow despite being there in my sent items.

Commiserations!

Not just you Windle. In the first competition a reply message was setup to try and confirm an entry being received. Sadly even this didn't always work.

I have no problems whatsoever replying to 'have you got my entry' posts in main thread.

Oh and Windle it was:

'I present the almighty "Cutthroat Porter" by Odell Brewing Co'

...still no image

DirtyJester · 8 Jun 2013 at 21:00

^^ Thought I was the only one

PapaLazaru said:
In my defense is a simple one. If someone says to you 24k, you think 24 thousand pounds. Well I do anyway.

I just wish I moved in your circles...

pingwing said:
Odell Brewing Co. 90/ Shilling Ale is pretty good

Been ages since I had my William Bros. 80/ Shilling Ale but it was rather tasty indeed

Edit:

PapaLazaru - Yeah, I can't help but think 24k in terms of money.

Mike306 - Yes, simply because I learnt something.

pingwing - No, simply because you lowered the tone with that entry

DirtyJester · 8 Jun 2013 at 21:35

We all have many miles to travel yet, and it's a thirsty trip

Cheers folks, voting updated with just Sonea_Fifer left to cast his.

DirtyJester · 9 Jun 2013 at 15:19

Well Sonea _Fifer has voted, but he was wrong about making no difference...

If he had voted No on Mike306 then he would have had 5 from 10 and therefore no majority, but he didn't so PapaLazaru and Mike306 get their points. Poor pingwing, well he knew already. I'll update everything later as I'm busy killing a case of Bud outside

Gutted. Was trying to find some Caledonian 80 the other day with no luck.

Went to a crappy local carnival today and it was available in the beer tent!

Pain felt, but then again mate if you've done it right it will be double tomorrow
