What have you done on your bike today?

Out of Guinness in the Club tonight but they had an alternative Stout that was nice :)
So the drought and rationing tales are true then, not just clever marketing.

There’s talk of Diageo plundering the Irish National Reserve to make sure they have enough in the UK for the upcoming 6 Nations tournament. I tell you, there’ll be anarchy here if they run the reserve so low they have to start rationing it here.

Yours has a different manufacturing process so not connected (probably) 👀

Is there any proper cask ale in Oireland or is it all that black treacly stuff?

As we know Guinness are masters of marketing
This from a local news paper;

Guinness, which used to be the drink of choice for elderly men and rugby union clubs, has had a resurgence in recent years. It now has a new, young and trendy fanbase fuelled by online influencers and trends such as 'splitting the G', a party trick where drinkers aim to finish their first sip of a pint halfway across the 'G' on the Guinness glass.

Kids eh!

Guinness gives me a thick head. Can't drink it. Tried Guinness 0.0% for a while, tastes alright but still left me feeling groggy next day. I'm guessing it's absolutely rammed with sugar.

A new Irish Bar just opened in York - a mate was in there last week and said it was full of rowdy teenagers and 20 somethings drinking Guinness all kicking off with each other and the bouncers were just wading in as he left :ROFLMAO:

It is an odd but true fact that a frothy, creamy pint of Guinness weighs in at about 125 calories for 12 ounces while its American counterpart Bud Light tips the scales at about 110 calories per 12 ounces. Also surprising, Guinness only has 1 gram of sugar and actually 2 grams of protein.
Most beer-like Guinness appears to be low in sugar but higher in carb. There have been various studies that have pointed to the relevance of diabetics to drinking beer. The studies even suggested that drinking light beer can be beneficial to diabetic people.

On a buddys stag do I had 8 pint's of the black stuff with no issues. As soon as we left the last pub, the fresh air hit me and my ancient Irish ancestry came forward and I chucked up so much of the black stuff, I thought I was laying a driveway. Never touched it again.

So remember kids, fresh air is dangerous.
 
Today i went down to the garage to do some more fitting bits to the Enfield, fucking freezing but i was brave and put my fleece on!! :) I got the rest of the stuff on, inlet manifold, carb that i changed to bigger jets, the most difficult bit was getting the air filter on, a right pain in the ass but done now. I now need to fit the throttle cable to the grip and a couple of other bits and i have a brass washer that i have no idea what it's for??:unsure: I'll finish things off tomorrow and it's meant to be a bit milder so hopefully get the tank on and go for a fire up!!🤞
I also got a txt from Boots saying my prescription is ready so i'm hoping it's my antidepressants!!

Brass washer you say 🤔 just store it between the air filter and carb, be safe there 😁
 
I'd not let any doctor come near me that smelt of cigarettes 😆 last bike accident was at 18 years old when a smelly doctor tried to lecture me on how dangerous motorcycles are... I said you smoke so 50% of you die from cancer I will take my chances on the motorcycle... Come to think of it the Guinness went on to clean my road rash with a scrubbing brush 🤔 I never did master the art of entertaing idiots 👀👀
 
No the only real ditch water here is Guinness and maybe Murphys 👀 you lot seem to have really hung on to the old days where everything tasted like a dirt filled ditch 👀😂😂
That literally is the Liffey. 😷

We still have a magnificent range of ales over here and a fine choice of local brews in the north east. The Firebrick Brewery in Blaydon makes some excellent ales, including Propa Belta and Wye-Aye-PA. Im waiting for them to bring out one called H'away an Shite Man. That'll be the daddy.
