A G&T would not be the same without it. Trouble in Northern Ireland over the holiday made local BBC news not sure if it had nationwide coverage. @Judy - I was recommended to drink Guinness as a tonic many years ago. I took it for a while but only managed a half pint glass full at any one time. @Darlene - I think we all know some one like the O’Shaunessy twins! @Brighid - Cowcamp Mimosas are not something I have heard of before today. Home Sweet Home eventually!

My favorite joke: Two men were sitting at the opposite ends of the bar when one noticed that the other was drinking Guinness. He came over and sat by the second guy and commented on his brew and asked him, "Sure and ye wouldn't be from the ole' sod, would ye?" Second guy: "Sure and Begorrah, I am." First guy: "Oh what a coincidence, I am too. Lets drink to the ole' sod." And they toasted the ole' sod. First guy: What part of the ole' sod are ye from? Second guy: "Dublin". First guy: "What a coincidence, I am too. Let's toast Dublin." and they took another swig. First guy: "Wouldn't it be strange if we lived near. What street did ye live on?" Second guy: "McArthur Street." (You Irish can change the street name if you tell this joke. I don't know the names in Dublin.) First guy: What a coincidence, I lived on Mc Arthur street too. Lets toast McArthur St." And they did. First guy: "You must have gone to St. Mary's then if you lived on McArthur St." Second guy: "Sure and Begorrah, I did. Lets toast St. Mary's" and they did. Just then the phone rand and the bartender answered it. He said, "Oh nothing much going on. Just the O'Shaunesy twins are drunk again."
