I'm on a Guinness Foreign Extra Stout.

What are the other WP homies up to? Any of you off out to parties or something? I wanted champ or colcannon with gammon for tea but I didn't get it. Meh.

Cheers! / Sláinte! / Guid forder!

Right, time to open another bottle of FES.

Sitting at home with my six-pack of Killian's and some games.

I've never had Killian's. Is it just like a lager? I've had most of the Guinness beers, as well as Whitewater, Hilden (both from Northern Ireland) and Murphy's (brewed in Cork) and also Carlow's stout (brewed in Carlow). Oh, and Harp (produced in Dundalk) but that tastes like crap though.

Next time I'm on the island, I might cross the border and go to Porterhouse.

Had a few pints of Guinness in a local Irish pub, talking with all the Irish people visiting my fair city for the weekend.

It's still quite cheap to get to Liverpool from Belfast and Dublin isn't it?

If I was flying to Belfast I'd use Blackpool but I believe the Liverpool airport gets a lot of Irish business from both jurisdictions.

meh...can't afford beer but I still have a bit of rum, vodka and shnapps, so maybe I'll do a couple shots......or maybe I wont. I drank a lot yesterday so if I do it will be later.

This wasn't planned on purpose, 'cause I never do anything special for St. Patrick's day, even though I am mostly Irish, but it's in the house, and I'm a drinkin' it right now!

My mum's a big fan of Ballycastle - a rip-off of Bailey's - when it's cheap at the local Aldi.

Never tried that one, and I believe they do have it down the road. I actually prefer Carolan's over Bailey's. Not just for the taste, of course, but because it's less than half the price due to not having to pay for all the national adverts!

I do love a good stout now and then too, with a good cigar. What's up with that crap Guinness started selling here way back anyway? That draught crap sucks!

By air yes, by boat no. I know one guy who lives in Belfast & works in Liverpool, he told me its cheaper for him to fly in & out over the weekends as that's what he does & stays in a hotel over the week days. As he does a five day a week job.

Well the low cost airlines love John Lennon airport, EasyJet only does Belfast were as Ryanair does Dublin.
