Another Roff in Ireland?

A quick report on the John Roff travel experiences. Daniel and Alaine have clearly not embarrassed the family too much over here as we passed immigration relatively comfortably.
The weather here is a shock- very chilly and currently battling around in 4 layers and still feeling it ! Tried the Guiness tour this morning where the highlights were a very professional tour, getting chosen to press the button to start the days production ( which wasn't too hard given that Jan and I were the only ones around ) and getting a personalised instructor on how to drink Guiness properly. There is a science in it apparently !!
Off tomorrow to hire a car for 2 weeks driving around. Had a great time in Thailand and in Greece though was interested to see a swiss guy arrested for being drunk and defacing a photo of the king now facing 70 years in jail

I heard about that guy in Thailand defacing the pic - it was on the Thai "National King Day" too - clearly not the brightest cookie in the packet....you can get away with ALOT in Thailand but the King is untouchable. Its almost illegal to step on a coin if you drop it cause its got the kings head on it.

Rumour has it it was way too early in the morning for drinking when you were at the Guinness factory, you alcoholics...

Rumour has it that it's NEVER too early in the morning for drinking in Ireland...

Keep up the fine work John and Jan!

Sandgroper goings on for you rock.
Ben Cousins has failed another citizens test and is suspended indefinitely. Plus the Farce can no longer be referred to as the Farce. They hammered the reds and are the best Oz team by miles, well entrenched in top 4. Go the Farce.
Please tell me John that you didn't ask for a Guinness Lite.
