Limerick Guiness

Pub: 3; Alcohol Units: 2; Activities: Salsa, pub

So Munster is going to Cardiff to entertain Biarritz during the Heineken Cup Final, everybody in the city, is wearing the red jersey, every car has his flag of ithe team, and most important, everybody is seeking a ticket for the match. People book their flight, hotel... Actually all tickets are sold out, only remains 15000 tickets given to the 2 clubs... unfortunately for Munster, their 7500 tickets will be reserved to the club and sponsors and Not the supporters ! So you can see Irish people lurking to the 7500 tickets given to Biarritz... The red Army is ready to invade Scotland. Aer Lingus has added to extra flight from Dublin to Bristol just for the event.

Guinness is a cultural thing.
Diageo has introduced in Limerick for a test a "Guinness Mid-strength" with only 2.8 degree.
So it's been 6 weeks, and the Limerick Post is looking at it:

Where you can see the importance of drinking in the Irish society, one of my favourite quotation in this article is:
"People are very busy nowadays. They have a lot of responsibility and although they still like going to the pub, they are finding it harder and harder to drink and to execute their responsibilities. This way you can have a few pints and still have a clear head in the morning.”
For information few pints for an irish is a minimum of 3 !

I will need to come back later, on Limerick, its criminality, its horses and its street burning garbage.
