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.

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.

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

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....

Bright lad; he'll go far. Or at least down to the corner liquor store to fetch Dad another pint.
