Title: Bosch Beer Memorial 2002 (Local)
Post by: Star-Epock on July 12, 2002, 09:40:14 am
I think its time we commemorated the VBBs great product "Bosch Beer"

UK
USA
Germany

Probably make up the largest part of the FS fanbase here.
I think for one night this year to Commemorate Bosch beer those who can should get together and have a pint and a chat, obvoiusly "chat" being about FS2, and much bigger your MOD is than everyone elses.

Those who cant reach other HLP/FS fans can have a pint infront of their PC. I want a happy cossy feeling for this.

We need to suggest a date and find the greatest concentrations of people to see if

"Bosch Beer" Night can really happen.

If your underage im sure a shandy will do just fine :P So everyone can participate. A real alcohol induced coming together for the community (maybe before FS2 dies and we never hear friom each other again..)

So plz post oyur location (rough) here and lets make

Bosch Beer Day a reality.

It seems were faily spread out.

Therefore if we pic a mutually acceptable time and all meet on an IRC or Chat room. Itd have to be a "bring your own beer" arrangement.

Once were all in and getting a little drunk the fun can begin!

Here's the funny thing about US drinking laws.

A minor may not buy or possess alcohol, but it doesn't say anything about not drinking it ;) Also they make exceptions for "cultural heritage" as well as religion.

Of course you're 18, a legal citizen, but can't buy alcohol unless you're in the military. Even there you can only have it when on military property, if you're getting it off base, it's a privledge you're being given. That overall means you're a second-class citizen in the US of A.

The "legal drinking age" thing is pretty stupid; either make it available to everyone or ban it altogether. I bet some guy will come along eventually, claim that this is social discrimination and start a big public scandal on it. :D (not planning to drink alcohol in my lifetime but this age thing is just silly)

Not actually, alcohol is more dangerous to younger, and blah blah blah... :p
 
And no, I'm not in drinking age. Though I don't think that when I am that I will drink too much, maybe a little sometimes.

Wow.  So if this thing doesn't fall through, we won't have to use some other beer as a substitute for Bosch.

I guess it's OK if you drink someone else's alcohol? Huh.

As sad I am to say that, don't forget the oversea neighbor (at least for me and 1,4 M other people), Finland. There is a very big concentration of finns in the forums and in FS2 Online.

Yeah, there indeed are a few people on HLP who are from Finland, but I think that's not much, though on FS2 online there are indeed more. :)
 
Finland is pretty small country though, only a bit over 5 million people live here, and that's good. :p

not as much as I have against Latvia, if it makes you feel better. :D

Plus, finns do bring in millions and millions of crowns per year buy buying booze from us so, I'm happy.

Stunaep, I know :D
I've been studying in Tornio for 3 years now and the traffic between Haaparanta and Tornio is something that people who have never seen it will never understand ;)

but they both are practically a one city allready so, big deal :p

As for me

<- Location... quite obvious, am I in legal drinking age, yea... for allmost 5 years now.

Actually, I was a bit surpriced at first when I found other finns here... a bit... not much though
