    They've also got glorious music to sustain them.

    Take a trip round the city on one of the open top buses*. Lovely place. Tour the Guinness factory. Beautiful place(On the way out ).
    I was told to avoid the City centre at night time. This from an Irishman who has lived there all his life.

    Dont take the Guinness pint off the bar until the barman tells you it is ready. They fill the about threequarters full then allow them to 'settle' a bit before finally topping them up.


    * There are a lot of open top buses. Dont know if they started out that way or have had them 'opened' on the assumption that they were cans of Guinness.
    The best way to keep a secret:- Tell everyone not to tell anyone.

    If you've got time (and it's still going at this time of the year), do the Viking Adventure tour, it's on a refitted WW2 Amphibious vehicle, and they take you into the water and around the canal.. It's tremendous!!



    EDIT:

    I think they do that in pubs all over.

    If you leave it to settle for the perscribed time, the froth gets a little less viscous and you can etch a shamrock (or whatever) into it

    Nice info on the guinness, they do that in some british pubs, but not many, depends if the lazy bar steward is over 30 i think

    I used to do it and I've never been over 30. Unless you're saying that over 30s are lazy bar stewards, if so I tend to agree

    It’s been my experience that younger bar stewards have no time for ale settlement and can only pull the tops of wkd’s, not all of them, but a large percentage

    If I'm ever about while you're in the pub, I'll pop behind the bar and give you one.

    Restore your faith in the under 30s bar steward

    Ooor eeeer

    Plz don’t take offence, 30 was just an example, it’s the stewards that are my age that are really in question
