Arthur's Day

[Ifreann]

On this day 250 years ago, Arthur Guinness purchased a 9000 year lease on St. James Gate brewery and an Irish drinking institution was born.On this once in a lifetime event, people across the world will raise a pint of the black stuff to Arthur at a minute to six, 17:59. I know I'll be one of them, and I invite NSG to join me.

To Arthur!

[Cabra West]

To Martha!

[Extreme Ironing]

I won't be able to have one at exactly the right time as I'll be singing evensong, but we'll surely be round to the local after the dismissal, you know how singers are.

It's not cold enough to be drinking Guinness.

Leave your clothes in the freezer for a while.

To Arthur!

[Sidebody]

I'll be in the middle of the sea on my way home so probably won't be getting the best of Guinness. I prefer to be swaying from side to side after drinking it rather than when I start drinking it.

Guinness, urgh. Long live to beers and ales... but don't ask me to drink even a quarter of pint of that black concoction.

[Barringtonia]

To Llamas!

To be honest, it's a terrible ad,

I shall wear my Guinness boxer shorts today, purchased from St. James Gate, and probably drink a pint,

Haha, if it was a couple days ago it was perfect weather to drink a pint.

Coincidentally, about two hours before this, it'll be the culmination of "Is Nodin To Be Made Redundant?" day, so one way or the other, I'll probably be joining in....

The IRA being hit by the recession as well, eh?

[Nodinia]

You'll find the mainstream physical force Republican movement took voluntary redundancy some years ago.....

[Douchebaggerry]

Hmmm and that's why they're shooting suspected drug dealers on sight even now.

"mainstream", I said. Whats lurking around now are some small splinter groups composed largely of the old and embittered and the young and clueless. I might add that they've threatened to shoot drug dealers, but haven't actually shot any, as they would both be outnumbered and outgunned in most cases. The odd incident may occur over the next few years but they'll fade into nothing eventually.

[Douchebaggerry]

"mainstream", I said.

I'm talking about the Provos themselves.

The movement has disbanded for all intents and purposes. Anyone claiming otherwise is trying to use a defunct name to instil fear.

[Douchebaggerry]

The misguided Republican side of it, possibly. They were still content with robbing banks and shooting off duty policemen until at least the mid-2000s

It is... but you still get this terrible urge to imitate it when someone says "To Arthur!"

[Town of Mojo]

To Arthur and Mel!

To Arthur!

Are you GMT? I have to make a quick clock calculation.

Never mind, I'm already over 4 hr. late.

[KaIashnikov]

To Author!

[Free Lofeta]

I never really liked the taste of Guinness...

[Tagmatium]

Good to see an old establishment continuing.

Shame the tarmac that the company makes got mistaken for something drinkable at some point.

[Waterlow]

Stout is a wonderful drink. Shame Guinness is pretty much the worst example generally available.
