    want a random guinness fact

    guinness is the same all over the world as it is in ireland, it is imported from ireland so it is the same stuff, what makes it nicer in ireland is that we have dedicated service engineers that travel country and the pumps are cleaned every week

    there's not much open or interesting during the evenings as terms of clubs... as us student types have finished for the year.

    No point mentioning the purple turtle unless you have an NUS card.

    be sure to have a pint in st. aldates tavern

    I just enjoy drinking there but nothing beats drinking from the gravity bar at st james's gate.

    If you go clubbing make sure you don't end up in 5th Avenue or DTM...............

    Certainly with the international ones they ship the unfermented Guinness extract in pellet form which is then combined with the local liquor (water used for brewing). This will invariable add its own local character to the resultant pint, especially if they "Burtonise" the liquor as well. Lets not underestimate how well a beer "travels" either.

    If you're looking for a nice Chinese (meal) I recommend EAMAYL (eat as much as you like). Does what it says on the tin and it's pretty cheap.

    It's somewhere near the train station and the river.

    Shame your only there for a few days.. I'll be there in about 10 days.. we could have got lost together! Just what England needs - lost bit-tech tourists.

    I'll be in Hong Kong for 12 hours Sunday week - I don't suppose you've got any ideas on how I fill in that time? (sorry, didn't mean to hijack)
