The West Indies porter is still on the go (having one as we speak) so presumably it's selling and the other one wasn't. No flies on those Diageo boys so I'm sure it was something like that.

Never had the draught milk stout, just bottles. I was pleasantly surprised the last time I was in Vicar St.,  that they had bottle of the West Indies in the bar.


The windies porter is the cream of that series for sure. The weakest is the Dublin porter with the blue label

There was one with a green label I think, a pale ale was it? Citrus tinge to it. Not the best, though draught was nice on a hot day.

Citra I think it was called.  Citra ipa or the like. I'd forgotten that one so maybe the Dublin stuff wasn't the worst after all.  Never encountered any of them on tap though

The citra was alright.  They had that new on tap in Dolan's one time coinciding with a Craic Sabbath gig and I did the dog on it, thought it was pure cream of the crop stuff, then never touched it again after

Postman calling mid shite.
You'd think he'd have finished up before going to work for the day
Been laughing at this for a good couple of hours on and off now, picturing a particular postman I know
Lol I must ask him if he ever cut one off half way to finish a day's post.  I hope he did

Far as I know it's part of the initiation ceremony. I might be getting it mixed up with the legendary bord gais hazings of old though

First day's post on the yellow bike, try to hold a seamless crimp on a saddle like a gargoyle's leg for the full shift.  Not many succeed

Only the strongest postmen survive the first 20 minutes. It's pure Jason and the argonauts stuff

Pet peeve 1: Cut my fingernails (one of my two most hated activities, the other being changing bedsheets, and I've got to do that in a minute) and somehow skipped one. How the fuck does that happen?

Pet peeve 2: Trimmer battery dying in the middle of use. Just about managed to finish my head, but my beard remains grizzly.

Not being able to eat just one biscuit.

Time to grow a beard for summer.  ::)

To catch the crumbs??

Amongst other things.....
