Sure I must have mentioned the theory that we could live off nothing but Guinness and tomato juice.
When you give blood in Ireland you are offered a glass of Guinness afterwards. Apparently it contains the equivalent nutrients as blood. Guinness is good for you!

one more and more hears people who are likely decendants of asians speaking dialects of Spanish,
A very good point, Geoff - one of my most enduring memories of a hitch-hiking trip through Norway in the late '50s was standing outside a farmstead on the road between Bergen and Oslo, speaking to an old Norwegian farm-worker who spoke with a faultless *Irish accent! He told me that he'd never been to Ireland in his life, but had worked for twenty years in New York.

Makes me think of my father's old girl friend, Mae West, drawing herself up to her full five feet or so and intoning, "Guiness had nothing to do with it."

Guinness is good for you!
Too right! When my third brother was born, my mother was concerned because she didn't have much milk coming in. She mentioned this to someone who had enquired after the two of them, and the woman promptly fed her some stout. Sure enough, that did the trick - so that brother of mine was raised up on second-hand stout, and to this day, he is the tallest of the family...!
Let us go in peace to love and serve the board.

Yeah, well, I tried sticking a vodka drip in my mouth as I slept, Rube, but it kept working loose. Perhaps with a bit of Superglue on the tube..?
