1. Why are you unhappy.
Do you really think the beer and travel money wont be sent?

And to those that are stealing, you will have a day, and you will remember what was due.

2. Sure! Spend it all! Just be choosy where you spend it. :0)
I prefer to give my money to companies that did not give money to Scott Walker.

10. Spend?
Edited on Wed Jun-22-11 01:07 PM by RandomThoughts
What are you talking about, I am not spending anything?

then again, you might be thinking in money concepts. And if so, why hasn't the beer and travel money been sent.


Or think about it this way, when available resources are infinite, spending has no meaning.

Also why skills in money management have no value in some concepts of existence.



Although I am due beer and travel money and that will be sent.

3. Here I thought they were taking a moral stance on the taste of fizzy piss water
they try and pass off as beer.

Beer is black, red or brown and occasionally yellow (Harp)

8. Beamish, Murphys, Guinness ... 1, 2, 3
Only beers I can drink.

Too much carbonation in the white beers.

11. Beamish too sweet for me
Murphys and Smithwicks are quality but Guinness (in Ireland) is on another planet- The silky smooth full body goodness sliding down your throat in a whisper. I have not had a true pint of beer since May bank holiday in the Shannon airport 2006. I can still taste it but just barely.

12. Time to get back there then.
The Guinness Storehouse was packed this Easter Saturday. Lovely day.

We were there for my daughter's dance competition.

Sunday morning I walked out early onto O'Connell Street. The military was there preparing for the Easter Rising commemmoration ceremony. A bit unsettling to see guys with machine guns on the street corners. Not used to that here yet.

5. Miller/Coors should have not have been on the menu of a brewpub to begin with.

9. I don't eat processed meat, and beer is the only fattening food that
I do not like. So, count me in.
