Similarly ridiculous noises when said actors partake in a game of tonsil hockey.Quote:

The worst thing is when I inevitably says something or give daggers I turn into the bad guy.
There was a radio advert a year or so back for a cereal that played on someone eating loudly to show much they were enjoying it, I couldn’t get the radio off quick enough as soon as I heard it coming on. Still makes me feel sick thinking about it now.
It must’ve - I think I’m on to the 2nd or 3rd time of raising the same ones!Quote:

My blood pressure goes through the roof when there's a noisy eater,sometimes it's cultural also as my ex wife was Italian and her entire family didn't care one jot about talking/screaming while munching a mouthful of pasta which had me popping a Xanax with each meal to keep under control.Quote:

The claim that Guinness tastes better in Ireland than anywhere else. (A claim usually made by people who don't drink Guinness at home but do so in Ireland..). I'm just back from Galway after a couple of weeks with in-laws and had few pints of Guinness in a variety of different bars, and had some very good, some decent and some not so good. A bit like depending what pub you go back here in Scotland really.
Agreed, I drink Guinness here and wasn't sure what to expect when I tried my first pint in Ireland having been told the difference was clear. Result, just another pint of Guinness and several others across many establishments were pretty much the same. It's a fantasy in my opinion.Quote:

It tastes more like a cask ale than any other Guinness I've had though.
There are various local theories as to why: length of the pipes, temperature of their cellar, the pour, good bar management etc etc. I could believe it's a different product to the Guinness I've tasted everywhere else tbh.
It probably used to be true. The Guinness served in UK used to brewed in The Park Royal brewery in London until 2005. Water plays a huge part in the brewing and distilling processes. The different waters from London and Dublin probably played a part in the difference. Calders ales were big sellers when brewed I. Alloa but when Alloa brewery closed and production transferred to Leeds the sales plummeted and returns went through the roof as they just didn't taste the same. The water is a key ingredient in the process
Also the Dublin and London breweries were hugely competitive, to the point that they used different suppliers for everything - ingredients, equipment, etc.Quote:

I wonder if it actually did or people just convinced themselves that one had to be better than the other. Maybe the pint from here was actually better?Quote:

I stopped watching several programmes because of this! Coronation Street being a major offender. Nae need - pure rancid!Quote:

The thing that intrigues me about the black stuff is that despite its hearty, rollicking Irish macho rugby image, it's not in fact all that strong a brew. You can sink pints and pints without much effect.
That's why I like it!

I love the stuff (one of my nicknames was the "Guinness monster").
I remember my early forays into the Edinburgh pub world in the very late eighties, early nineties and Guinness was frequently bottled :agree:Quote:
