Was she named after a whole ladies football team?

Great line in Doctor Who...

That beats "Pippilotta Viktualia Rullgardina Krusmynta Efraimsdotter Långstrump", or as the English translation states: "Pippilotta Delicatessa Windowshade Mackrelmint Ephraim's Daughter Longstocking".
The difference is that I've never heard of Clarissa Dickson Wright until today.

Who knew that Two Fat Ladies referred to her name?

I haven't heard of an "Esmerelda" since "20 Thousand Leagues under the sea" and she was a sea lion!

Esmeralda is not an uncommon name among Hispanics, Hispanic-Americans, etc.

In my home town, there are 2 festivals. One which was today and one which is held 5 Indian calendar days from today. Here's[^] a video I found on YouTube. Skip to 1.07 for treat.
The idea is to have a parade in old city where everyone gathers and we all have fun. This is a tradition that was started by cloth mills. They have been closed for about 30 years now but the employees and their family members still organize this.
Here I am in Bangalore not experiencing it. Damn.

Wow! That scantily-clad young lady doing the pole dance with the python really made the whole video rock! Thanks!!

I defy you to find anything in my post that cannot be readily found on prime time TV in any relatively developed country. I'll abide by the kid sister rule when I meet a kid sister who can't teach me a thing or two about the "naughty subjects." In fact, I'd greatly appreciate the private lessons!

Guinness. Please have a 5 for me as I have given up searching one here in Bangalore.

Neither I have to be a lightweight. Me and alcohol don't mix socially together

Guinness. But it depends where I am - it doesn't travel well...

Cardinal[^], please.
I will never again mention that Dalek Dave was the poster of the One Millionth Lounge Post, nor that it was complete drivel.

Guinness or Beamish, that's the question.
Beamish is called the poor mans Guinness, by those that prefer Guinness.
I've also heard some say: "Do you know the difference between a Guinness and a Beamish?" "No" "10p"
I have tried them both as proper draughts side by side, and while I can say that there is a difference, it's close to inappreciable.
When the price is the same I'd choose Beamish.
Murphys is damaged goods.

I love me Guinness, but for this occasion I chose Tullamore Dew[^]. It was delicious last night, and 'twill be equally delightful tonight, I'm sure!
Dad wasn't a drinker, probably because his own father was a drunk and a criminal lawyer (in the worst meaning of the word) who abandoned the family when Dad was 3 years old. But all of my childhood I can remember seeing a ceramic jug of this delightful elixir in the cabinet. Dad took it down and had a glass each St. Paddy's Day, rest his soul... I'll carry on from here, Dad!

I find Guiness a bit heavy, but I don't mind Kilkenny because every time my son sees me open a can, he says "Oh my God, they Killed Kenny" At least he is predictable....
