    Medusa was a Gorgon in Greek mythology, who had venomous snakes on her head instead of hair.

    Legend has it that Saint Paddy banished all the snakes from Ireland.

    Ergo not the best possible date for Medusa, who is now as bald as a coot.
  • enjoy your day ---ill raise a glass to StPat and St George later if i csn be arsed to wade through the snow along the cliff path to the boozer

  • St. Patrick was responsible for ridding Ireland of snakes. I trust you know what Medusa is noted for.

  • Bergeebers berjabbers berjibbers at all at all at all...

    Happy plastic paddy day!

    @AFKABartram will become one after his first pint of Guinness later.
    AFKA doesn't do only ones :smile:

  • While I’m at it, what’s the difference between Guinness Draft and Guinness Original?
  • While I’m at it, what’s the difference between Guinness Draft and Guinness Original?

    Guiness original comes in a bottle. And is a very different beer to what they market as Guiness draught.
    Taste it and you'll know what I mean.

    That’s my point. Is it grandparents, great grandparents, great great etc etc.

    I'd imaging as a lager/cider drinker, draught would probably be more to your taste but as Oggy says give them both a go see what you like.

    As for 'Extra Cold', it's the same as draught, it's just gone through the cooler twice. No difference in the taste itself but is possibly nicer on a hot day.

    I’ve researched the calories

    Heineken = 255
    Kronenbourg = 244
    Strongbow (draught) = 239
    Peroni (draught) = 235
    Fosters = 227
    Guinness = 210
    Budweiser (draught) = 192
    Directors bitter = 187
    John Smiths Smooth = 182
    Wife beater (Stella) = 176
    Peroni (bottle) = 142
    Carslberg = 141
    Carling = 138
    Red Wine = 85
    White wine = 82
    Budweiser (bottle) = 41
    Guinness Original (bottle/can) = 36 practically a slimline tonic

    Another thing ..... keg (and majority of bottled beers, but not "bottle conditioned") are fizzed up with carbon dioxide.
    But not Draught Guinness, which is injected with nitrogen to give the 'creamy' or smooth head.

    I wouldn’t mate, it stunts your growth

    How was it for you?

    Might change my user name to @jamesonaddick.
  • As Guinness is now officially vegan (did I mention I was vegan?) I’d quite happily raise one in honour of my Irish cousins but I’m cosy in my jammies in front of the fire so they’ll have to make do with a Yorkshire tea salute.

    Doesn't look like he's answering. Maybe he's developed a taste for it and gone all Henry Sellers.
