Tnx ya all fer the kind offers, guess I'd have some problem downing all them Guinnesses!
Remember on my first visit to London, went to a pub with a couple of colleagues to have a goodbye drink. I ordered a pint of Guinness, the barkeeper making a strange look at me, asking A PINT? I didn't know what to say or do except with a blank face replying yes thank you, a pint - as if that was my usual lunch-hour drink.
I've never ordered a pint of Guinness since then...
Guess you'd never catch me revealing embarassment. Just one of the tactics I've developed in order to get along.
As far as I remember, I never downed all that pint...
Guess it is about time I learned for certain, are pints of Guinness something only visitors from outer space would order?
Reminds me of a cartoon, a couple of strange looking guys in an American bar, ordering "Coca Cola, Reg. U.S. Pat. off."
