St. Patrick's Day is important to him. He wanted to go out and drink
Guinness."
Thanks for answering that, Simon. If I ever forget where I am... :)
Actually I can drink Guinness any time, except it would be difficult
on St. Patrick's Day as the place gets filled up by about half-a-
million Yanks [ducks]..... And English Guinness is occasionally so
disgusting I can't finish it, so only drink bitter in England (which
you can't get in Ireland...)
St. Patrick's Day festival would've been cool though, as they have 18
tonnes of fireworks which they set off to music along the banks of
the river (which runs through the city centre). Only they're not
doing it now. Well not yet. Apparently they have already bought the
fireworks (which are otherwise illegal over here) so they'll be
exploding stuff somewhen...

Simon: "Ginger is horrible!"
It's a fantastic spice. And adds pizzaz to curry. And livens up
bacon and tomatoes a treat.
Generalisations are always wrong. Including that one.
