OK temporary accomodation for us ex-pats of Spacie's coffee house that is sadly now boarded up and in memory of Goldie's old pad the tearooms.

No fancy stuff, as this is temporary until we find a nice new place but it's warm down here with the fire and aga and I've organised a daily guinness, lager and wine delivery. There is a small kitchen in the corner and a few comfy cosy armchairs.

So feel free to take refuge when you need a break - self-service generally I'm afraid but when I can I'll rustle up a meal :>)

I haven't been to Greece or Abu Dhabi :-(
................but I like Guinness :-)

I havent had a guinness for some months. Bring it on Opto

I havn't drunk it(won't even mention the name)
for more than 20 years, as it had deteriorated
so much from the original.
I believe its even worse nowadays.

Guinness, Guinness, Guinness, Been off for the weekend Jeff, I'll fill the bar with the stuff. May have or may not have deteriated a bit tyketto but it's much more consistant than some of the stuff they are selling as ale nowadays.

The Park Royal brew went years ago, as I recall. It's all brewed in Dublin now. Haven't drunk it in many a long year myself.

Just had a guinness in Abu Dhabi, give it 4 out of 0

Ah! But was it good for you?!

For some reason or other they've stopped issuing it in hospitals
many years ago.
Usually the brews you get abroad are tailored for the region.
I've had 11% in Gabon and the Cameroons, drunk at room temperature.
The far East stuff was undrinkable, even after freezing it. About 4% I think.
When they opened their first brewery abroad, in Lagos,after about 3
months the Nigerians boycotted it until they raised the strength from
from maidens water to about 5%. Again drunk at room temp.
Try drinking the current edition at 30C.

Yuk 30C Guiness.

I used to hate the stuff but got a taste for it when I was working in Ireland a few years ago, I dont have it very often now but the stuff I have had in the UK fairly recently tasted fine to me.

Use to live in Guinness Trust buildings , Fulham Palace road. built for the poor working classes of London.

Guinness Red......NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Ha, just tried to log on to my betfair account from Abu Dhabi and access to betting sites is prohibited.

I wonder if they monitor internet access....

















Whats that knock on the door

Proxy time, Jeffie.

NinjaCloak or HideMyAss, Jeffie.

Hilary. I can't understand Jeff leaving you in here on your own all day!
It's a bit early in the day but it's warm so I'm going to pull one or two pits of Guinness, you probably will see Jeff dashing in any time now :-)
I can understand if you don't want a Guinness but you are welcome....or any other of the weird concoctions whose bottles are covered in dust and in need of the attentions of a rare Bunny.

A rare bunny indeed but who needs more then one of me - don't answer that!
Sorry 'life' that weird thing that exists somewhere beyond the ether of the virtual world keeps me busy most of the time these days. Plus no stock holdings any more just the odd bit of spreadbet such is life.

Good to see the old place is still in use though and I hope everyone is doing ok and keeping well, bright eyed and bushy tailed ;>)

Hellooooo Bunny :-))))

Bunny!!!!!! hey! Good to see you. Here have a cup of tea. (Wipes dust of teapot).

That'll be a bottle of MeJulie's Australian Shiraz and two glasses for Hil and myself, if you would, please.
