If you’re into football or craft beers from around the world – or maybe just if you’re a super nerd or into vaguely heartwarming stories too – then you might remember erstwhile virgin Gus Hully from the 2018 World Cup, when he went viral after he bought a beer for every country competing in the tournament so that he could drink one whilst watching them playing.

Despite being called everything from ‘notable beer nonce’ to ‘weird Tibetan paedophile’, Hully obviously couldn’t get enough of his virality and tried to repeat the stunt for the Women’s World Cup the year afterwards – although sadly it was nowhere near as successful or as much of feelgood a vibe as it just wasn’t as big a tournament in the global consciousness. I guess drinking beers is maybe more of a male pastime than a female one? I respect his commitment to equality though.
Anyway, with one last throw of the dice in his chase to reclaim the fleeting viral fame that was once his, Hully has now decided to grab a beer from every country competing in the Eurovision song contest this year. Here’s the customary picture of him looking like a goon in front of the (somewhat) impressive collection of beers he’s managed to amass:

Wow? I say somewhat impressive because it seems like a lot of those beer labels are in English and are pretty much readily available over here, so it’s nowhere near as much of a challenge as it seems to have been for the guy in the past. Fool was asking people to bring him back beers from holidays in Egypt and sending his wife on day trips to weird Dutch cities last time – looks like he got most of these from just walking down the street.
I’m also kinda confused about how it’s going to work this time, as he used to drink a beer during the game of the country he was watching and if he does that during Eurovision he’s going to be very bloated very quickly as every song only lasts about three minutes. He’ll also be completely wasted after about twenty minutes – even if he’s as much of a ‘big beer drinker’ as he claims to be.
Basically, it’s just not gonna work is it? It kinda feels like he’s milking it a bit at this point, don’t you think? Anyone got any idea about what Gus might try and collect next in his increasingly embarrassing attempts to stay relevant and/or lose his virginity?
Maybe he could get involved with the upcoming Commonwealth Games this summer? Or the FIFA World Championships? Come to think of it, it would have actually been quite cool if he had done it for the African Cup of Nations back in January. Missed an opportunity there pal – it would have definitely got you laid over in Cameroon.
