went down to visit my family in Brum and went into witherspoons for a guinness, or, ten. first one a quarter drank ( i only take sips) n felt summet in my mouth. only a fkng cockroach. (no jokes please ive heard em all) . the couple next to me left rather quickly retching. it had fallen out of the air vent above me. the other nine i couldnt complain about ....i think :p just thought id share that with the group. enjoy your breakfast :laugh:

Same here, had a pint or ten last night and very enjoyable it was too. Head and guts aren't too bad this morning either

never drink guiness in witherspoons ,it is always like dirty dish water,i think they get it cheap cos its near its sell by date
i always only drink guiness in irish or scottish pubs where the is a lot of it being sold and there is a high turnover
i was in some 2 bob teenie bopper bar last week and the girl gave me a guiness in a red hot glass from the dishwasher,when i rejected it she said it was policy not to chill glasses
ok good bye i said
lol

At least you get *real* Guinness! Most of the stuff sold here is brewed in Canada, and is very harsh and bitter. We watch carefully for pubs owned by Irish who've emigrated to the States, as they're allowed to buy the black stuff brewed in St. James' Gate -- dunno if it's the water or what, but it's a different creature altogether, and well worth the extra bother.

[seanandruby]

it wasnt the guinness that bothered me it was the fecker in it that had more than me. i really only drink on special occasions now. but you are right in saying only irish pubs do it roight, scrapped off with a knife then add shamrock picture
cheers.

funny enough t/lady i was in dublin in may visiting killmainan gaol,and went for a pint or ten in a pub called "the volunteer"
anyway i says to the landlord"how come even though we have irish guiness in the uk now yours tastes better??"
he says "jaysus ,we dont want to be paying guiness's dublin prices,we import ours from nigeria. they have the biggest guiness brewery in the world there and per capita they drink double the guiness the irish do."
i had heard about nigerians loving guiness but this kinda made sense
btw all the talk about dublin being expensive is rot,it actually worked out 12p a pint cheaper than my local
:O

Nigerian Guiness? Not sure I'd be too eager to drink that! :0

[seanandruby]

as a direct asscendent of a Dublin Jack i can vouch that
it is indeed the best placee for the black stuff ...and i dont mean tarmac. its just like being at work where most of the drinking is done, as apposed to being in the pub where most of the work is done eh?
i wonder how many men have been tempted to go for a few pints tonite because of this topic? remember theres no monday club tomorrow ???
may your glass never be empty.

[Dave_L]

On that note I'll go and crack open a bottle of Stella!

[TarmacLady]

Nigerian Guinness -- only caution is that it stands up and tells you it has 12m pounds in a secret account and needs your help to transfer it out of the country.

[TarmacLady]

and Sean -- I'm glad to know you were conscientious enough to chase the fecker with another 9....gotta make sure everything's sterile. :p

(I'd have to be scraped from BETWEEN the floorboards if I had 10 pints of Guinness!)

[seanandruby]

as i said i only drink on special occasions... so have to make it worthwhile
just thought today is a special occasion...its the day after a bank holiday, might just go for a walk ???

[lutonlagerlout]

same here ==> i only drink when the days got a Y in it! :;):
