I like Budweiser Budvar

Dont get it confused with the similiar name fizzy water stuff that is made in America

Budweiser Budvar is lovely beer though the effects can sneak up on you

Just think if the climate does change we may end up with Scottish mountains covered in vine trees

Jameson's is a good Irish Whiskey and it brillant if you have flu or cold. A good drop of Jameson's in a glass, Hot Water, A couple of Spoonfuls of Brown Sugar ( its has to be Brown Sugar) and some cloves...Brillant for Cold nights and colds. This is not to be confused with a hot toddy which is Scottish.

Nutty, if you can get it you should try Guinness Export.. Its supposed to be lovely but nothing is as good as the two part pour...that's the secret to a Good Pint of Guinness. As us Dubliners say...Sure there's eating and drinking in it.

Partial to a few J.D. myself...Nice tumbler with ice a splash of J.D. and i have to have some diet coke as well..mmmmmmmmmmm..........

I never drink Guinness when I'm Abroad because it doesn't travel well but I have tasted Kilkenny and its a good subsitute.

I have heard that guiness doesn't travel well. Watched my mum pour a few when she was bar manager, never tasted it myself. This is good. From my favourite tv show QI.

That clip was great, I wish that was on over here but it's not even on cable and we have a cable channel called "UKTV".

There is a Qi website (.com) and there's lots of good clips on youtube. You can also buy the dvds online.

It's one of my favourite shows

That clip is brillant.
I love QI and I think Stephen Fry is brillant at everything he does.
Dara O' Brian is king.. It's True about the fork in the eye .
I worked in a pub years ago behind the bar and the tourists especially the American Tourists love asking for the shamrock in the top of the pint of Guinness and also in the cream of the Irish coffee.....
