St. Patrick’s Day – Its Guinness time!

St. Patrick’s Day – one of my favourite days of the year. Not that any of us need an excuse to drink copious amouts of the black stuff, but three of four pints of Guinness does not go amiss on St. Patrick’s Day!

1. Go to Dublin – what better way to celebrate St.Patrick’s Day than with the Irish on the Emerald Isle, drinking the proper black stuff.
2. Take the day off work and have an all-day session. Come on, its Saturday the next day.

So, a pint of Guinness is blonde on top, but the
