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...

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.
