That was me last year. I think I had the worst hangover I have ever had last St. Patty's Day. This year I wasn't smoking so I couldn't indulge for fear of picking it up again.foulwife wrote:One word regarding my exploits on St. Patty's Day - hangover
Life is a waste of time
Time is a waste of life
So get wasted all of the time
And you'll have the time of your life

Stopped in my local American pseudo Irish pub and had my 2 Guinness' after work. Don't know why, but the green beer doesn't appeal to me.

The following resolutions will immediately become effective:
1. The lease of my mansion at Ballybrophy is a resolved matter now; all pigs, horses as well as the other cattle will be sold at a public auction. My nephew Reggie can keep the Landseer and may choose two items from my icon collection.
2. One of my appartments in Paris (Départment de la Seine) shall be sold.
3. My membership with the Knights Of St. Columbanus shall be suspended. Instead the pressure on the freemasons shall be increased to finally make me get the job at Guinness - even if it is just a job as a greasing-assistent for the fermentation tank-supervisor-aspirant (£ 1,500 plus own rooms, light, fuel flat rate, medical supply and two pints a day).
4. My agreements with the Bulgarian secret service are to be regarded as terminated.
5. My frozen accounts shall be thawn again and offered to the government to be seemly used in cases of national concerns.
6. Should I really get the job at Guinness, I will apply for a membership at the Kildare Street Club, telling them "Tabhair póg dom, táim Éireannach"

I'm impressed! More Irish than the Irish themselves!
I once worked on a construction job at Guinness Brewery at St. James's Gate. Saw the old disused underground brewhouse, fascinating place (the Storehouse tour is good but you don't get access to the actual operations of the brewery).
Unfortunately you are a small bit out of date about the jobs in Guinness itself, in the good old days it was as you have outlined it, but now, even with the Freemasons on your side, everything is subcontracted out and you'd be more likely to get a job as a Diageo marketing consultant than a nice greasing sinecure plus two pints a day! (Your profile is eerily close to that of some of our corrupt politicians, you obviously know your stuff!)
The whole Irish government was scattered across the globe this week ag tabhairt póganna do gach duine, I hope you got one!

Spent a month as an honorary 'down and out' in Southern Ireland once. Travelled all over from Dublin down to Dingle. Everyone told me that the Irish Guiniss was beter by far than the lower grade stuff that was exported to the UK [bit like french beujolais]. Unfortunately I never got to sample any. Every time I had a pint pulled the merry bar steward told me to 'leave it settle' for a minute or two before I drank it. Every time without fail I took my eyes of it for a second or two and on turning back found it had been pinched. It must be some kind of Irish sport to 'get back at the Brits' after all the crap we've heaped on their shoulders over the centuries. You gotta love these guys - Long Live the Irish!
[Usussimiel - I sat at the bar in that pub on the day I left Ireland [never, as yet to return] prior to heading out to the ferry at....I forget . A man next to me was looking down in the mouth and we got talking. He had, he told me, won a thousand pounds on the Irish lottery the previous night. "You don't seem all that pleased," I ventured, and he turned to look at me with the eyes of a man who has 'drained the bitter cup'. With high emotion in his voice he answered. "One more number.....!"]
