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 :>)

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.

Thank you Opto and Kim :>)
I'll just get that for you MM..............

There you go :>)

I need to hop off now but I will promise to get in more often, left some sausage rolls in the fridge and there's a tin over there with a chocolate orange cake in it for when anyone's peckish .....oh and can someone pay the guinness bill? Only they rang and threatened to cut the pipeline from Dublin again ;>)

(Scrabbles around in back pocket for loose change.)

Evening folks.
I came out here for two weeks and now it looks like I need to stay for 4 weeks. Need to find another bar with good guinness.

Philipino wife anyone, seems to be lots here with english guys.

Already got one thanks

I'd have one, but I fear that my current English one might have issues with the idea. I may have to get by with these afternoon flirtations with Hil over a bottle of Shiraz.

Good morning all. Cant get used to this working Sunday to Thursday as they do out here in UAE. Just back from the beach, too hot to stay there too long.
