Well what are ye waiting for? That Guinness isn't going to guzzle itself y'know.

 

"Drink is the curse of the land. It makes you fight with your neighbour. It makes you shoot at your landlord and it makes you miss him."

-Irish proverb

Admittedly Guinness is an acquired taste for most but to be honest after 10 of them it's pretty much like any other beer!

 

As Oscar Wilde said: Work is the curse of the drinking classes. And so like most happy events...they end and we move on...

 

to the next bar!

 

Singing...(everybody...):

 

O-ro the rattlin' bog, the bog down in the valley-o

O-ro the rattlin' bog, the bog down in the valley-o

 

And in that bog there was a tree, a rare tree, a rattlin' tree

With the tree in the bog

And the bog down in the valley-o.

 

...

 

It's all good!

And how to steal, ye fergot that!

"Whut's it we're famous for?"

"Stealin'!" shouted the blue men.

"And what else, lads?"

"Fightin'!"

"And what else?"

"Drinkin'!"

"And what else?"

There was a certain amount of thought about this, but they all reached the same conclusion.

"Drinkin' and fightin'!"

"And there was summat else," muttered the twiddler. "Ach, yes. Tell the hag, lads!"

"Stealin' an' drinkin' an' fightin'!" shouted the blue men cheerfully.

Ok, well they're pictsies, but must be related to the Irish (from The Wee Free Men by Terry Pratchett).
