...I normally keep politics out of these pages...but when guinness is involved, it's personal:
tuesday the 17th's subheadings said: "Ireland Prime Minister has taken offence to a St Patrick's Day video message from Prime Minister Tony Abbott."...so what's new?...the english never likes the irish anyway...I should know: been drinking guinness for decades and fucking hard to find it served in pubs except in irish pubs all the way from london to here...suddenly all this week every pub banks in on the anniversary of the death of st patrick and this 'leader' whom I didn't vote for, insulted a whole great tradition in an instance...his ancestors had been offending against my old country for yonks...and now he is shaming my new one...charming, but lets put our enmity aside for today and have a coupla quiet pints, cheers...
