Nigerian Guinness is nice, but weird. It tastes more like bitter than stout for some reason, I'm assuming it's not the fact it's nearly 8%...

I once bought a bottle of Guinness in Africa and it was fizzy - bit of a shocker when you first took a sip.

Local African beers are delicious, but often potent.

Bottled Guinness here is fizzy, no?

It's not fizzy as such. It's not as smooth as draught, there's more of a 'cut' to it, and there isn't the nice big creamy head, but it doesn't fizz.

It fizzes, proper fizzes, when you buy it by Lake Victoria.

I'm merging this with an Sibín Reoite...

I have a nice bottle of Guinness warming as I write. Can't stand it cold.

That was a quick way of restocking the bar A-T.

I hope borntorun won't lose his drink though.

Oh indeed. It was part of a recapitalisation package I've organised for an Sibín to ensure (un)healthy levels of liquidity into the Christmas period!

Nope, as the post is here on the thread!

'scuse me but i've a confession to make. I love the 'bounce' icon but have never understood what it's meant to convey

I always just presumed bouncing, which surely is an emotion in itself?

Bump...with an air of impatience. CF is a tough taskmistress.

Sometimes it means excitement

evercloserunion is right.

In the context in which you describe that is an accurate assessment.

I just thought that everybody looked as though they needed a drink

You read my mind! What's everyone having, I feel I might have a glass of wine. Beethoven's 9th Symphony is playing out of the tab next to MN on my browser. Ein bisschen Gewurztraminer werde prima!

Feck off Aragon. This is capitalist wine, you wouldn't like it.

You're making a big mistake there, Ard-Taoiseach. Aragon is the best cook here and you may miss out on some anarchist gourmet treats if you don't treat her right.

Speaking of capitalism, I am, as Governor of the Central Bank of Machine Nation, underwriting this round of drinks. They come with a cast-iron AAA guarantee.

Cheers AT - in the nip of time though, I was about to send my Captain Swingers round your vineyard. But I've been easily bought off...

You're very welcome Aragon. I'm busy exploiting my vineworkers so you're very considerate!

Let's keep the chat going!

youngdan never comes in here to drink a pint - he could always come in here and tell us where he was over the last while.

Come on youngdan, own up ! Did you go to Chicago to congratulate Obama.
