Whisky trail? Sounds delicious and dangerous in equal measure!

hehe Exactly! I’m over in Morayshire so we have distilleries everywhere. You can do the Whisky trial by bus, gaining a dram at each stop. Quite the fuzzy head by the end of it!

UK Business Franchises: Hi there and thanks for stopping by. Y’know, my Dad always looked at home with a bottle of Guinness. And having just been to Scotland recently myself, I have absolutely no trouble in guessing that your preferred tipple might be a wee dram of golden liquid… :)

Your dad looks right at home with that bottle of guinness. I’m across the pond in Scotland in the centre of whisky country so you can guess what my preferred tipple is :-)

Gosh – no idea if there’s a dvd of that production available. I’d heard the rumour about Brendan Gleeson looking to produce a film version of At Swim Two Birds – will be interesting to see if that happens. Meanwhile, I think I’m just going to have to go back & read the book again now!

Wow, that YouTube vid is from the stage version of Flann O’Brien’s 1939 novel At Swim Two Birds. I’d love to know if you can get a dvd copy of that production, anyone any ideas?

Also, Brendan Gleeson is currently looking to produce a film version of the novel with all the usual Irish suspects in line to star. However, if Brian and Brian have their way, if will probably be shoved in the bin along with the film board so they’ll prob never get enough funding – boo! Maybe Guiness will donate some funding …….

gastroanthropologist: a Guinness fridge? now there’s real dedication to Arthur’s cause! Hope you enjoy Barcelona & San Sebastian – though, truth be told, I think it would probably be difficult not to enjoy them.

OysterCulture: I’m sure that you’ll find plenty of Guinness and plenty of corners in which to plop yourself when you’re here in September :)
