    This from the man who compared the Marketing of Arthurs day to anti-aging cream

    I'm pretty sure they actually are the same guys

    I was talking about marketing in general. If you manage to rub two braincells together maybe you will grasp the meaning behind my post.

    man im still trying to grasp what was going through your mind sitting at the computer when you dreamed up that analogy, did it come to you on the spot?

    the marketing behind anti-aging cream etc. surely is based on insecurities/vanity how is that marketing ploy similar to this?

    Yes, someone with a different opinion is obviously just grumpy.

    Well you can either cut out the personal abuse and post without insulting people or I can just go ahead and remove your access.
    Your choice.

    Likewise 'genius', me celebrating my birthday and the whole country celebrating a dead man's birthday (whole country being a nation, which leads to my use of the word 'national') on the back of a marketing campaign by Diageo are not the same thing. It's a stupid comparison.

    I was actually going out to the pub last night anyway for a pint after work with a couple of mates. Couldn't find any empty seats in my local because of the amount of chumps out 'celebrating' this ****e. People really will buy into anything.


    Why do you celebrate Christmas?
    Because the Christian Churches tell you?

    Celebrate the "birthday" of a man who may or may not have existed

    I went over after work and got two free pints in my local.. was going to go on the piss with a few mates, down "the town" but i decided to stay home, eat chinese and have sex with the girlfriend.

    We didn't have sex because i fell asleep after the chinese. I'm disappointed i didn't go out now.

    I'd say the nations sewers run black today

    I went to Haydens in Naas. I was expecting the pints to be 2.50 but they were the usual 4.00. I did get a free pint though along with a few friends, so that was good. The pints there were better than usual also, probably due to the amount of Guinness being poured. The local GAA club had pints for 2.50 all night. And I got a free one there too i think! Although I was so locked at that stage I can't really remember!

    Not a bad day, there was a good athmosphere. And if it gets a few more tourists coming here I'm all for it.

    Lets raise a pint to Diageo Guinness, just another multinational mass producer of second rate stout. And they have the nerve to call it Arthurs Day, just so they can sell more booze, yeah good one that. :rolleyes:

    If you want proper 'Irish' stout, try O'Hara's or Shandon Stout.
