Irish beer sucks. give me British beer anyday.


Guiness is the most vile crap I have ever tasted. I got the bottom of the keg (just barely enough to fill the glass), maybe that was the reason. I can't figure out why this crap is popular.

Er... St. Patricks day isn't until the 17th March. It's too early, even for me, to start drinking yet.

Tomorrow is of course the feast of St Patrick's Day.

I plan to celebrate with a breakfast of soda farls & grilled kidneys and a dinner of colcannon or champ and salmon as the mood takes me.


"Men, men, men. Perched on high stools by the bar, hats shoved back, at the tables calling for more bread no charge, swilling, wolfing gobfuls of sloppy food, their eyes bulging, wiping wetted moustaches. A pallid suetfaced young man polished his tumbler knife fork and spoon with his napkin. New set of microbes. A man with an infant's saucestained napkin tucked round him shovelled gurgling soup down his gullet. A man spitting back on his plate: halfmasticated gristle: no teeth to chewchewchew it. Chump chop from the grill. Bolting to get it over. Sad boozer's eyes. Bitten off more that he can chew. Am I like that? "

Copenhagen are going to have the first St Patrikcs Day Parade tomorrow. I don't know why, but partying with Irish usually is a lot of fun, so I think I'll give my bit by drinking some beer .

I never used to like Guinness, but I tried it again and the taste has definitely changed for the better. Maybe they changed the water source?

Or maybe its just that I didn't drink it from a Wetherspoons. Damn I'm starting to loathe that pub chain.

If I had any money I´d pop down to the irish pubs in Central Göteborg. Alas, since I´m dirt poor for at least another week (after that I will only be poor) I´ll have to pass on the celebrations this year

Well, I'm not Irish but I never pass up a chance for a good party. My girlfriend and I are going out to a local Irish pub which is having a St. Patty's day party including all sorts of games and the chance to win a trip to Ireland.

I have a fresh bottle of Jamieson's ready. I'm not sure when we'll start. I've arrainged for one of the actors I work with who doesn't drink because of blood thinners, to act as my driver tomorrow evening, so I can drink until I stop - like a good Irishman !

In a strange turn of events, the liquor shop was quiet as tonight. Maybe people were all down at the pub instead of drinking by themselves as usual.

Speaking of which...

According to legend, Welsh.


Which in any case is neither here nor there: patron saints aren't, by and large, expected to have had citizenship of their countries, since England has St. George and Scotland St. Andrew, to name but two non-citizen patron saints.

IIRC, the Welsh weren't in Wales at the time, but still in Southern Scotland. Briton is likely more accurate.

I'm thinkin' maybe a bottle of Harp and a reuben sandwich would do nicely.

Paddy had been drinking at his local Dublin pub all day and most of the night celebrating Ireland's draw with Germany.

Mick, the bartender, says "You'll not be drinking anymore tonight,
Paddy"

Paddy replies "OK Mick, I'll be on my way then."

Paddy spins around on his stool and steps off. He falls flat on his
face.

"Shoite" he says and pulls himself up by the stool and dusts himself off.

He takes a step towards the door and falls flat on his face.

"Shoite, Shoite!"

He looks to the doorway and thinks to himself that if he can just get to the door and some fresh air he'll be fine.

He belly crawls to the door and shimmies up to the door frame.

He sticks his head outside and takes a deep breath of fresh air, feels much better and takes a step out onto the sidewalk.

He falls flat on his face.

"Bi'Jesus... I'm fockin' focked," he says.

He can see his house just a few doors down, and crawled to the door and shimmies up the door frame, opens the door and shimmies inside.

He takes a look up the stairs and says "No fockin' way".

He crawls up the stairs to his bedroom door and says "I can make it to the bed."

He takes a step into the room and falls flat on his face.

He says "Fock it" and falls into bed.

The next morning, his wife, Jess, comes into the room carrying a cup of coffee and says, "Get up Paddy. Did you have a bit to drink last night?"..

Paddy says, "I did Jess. I was fockin' p*ssed. But how'd you know?"

"Mick called. You left your wheelchair at the pub."
