I woke up this morning thinking it just your average Wednesday. Then, after realising it was Thursday, I again comforted myself with the fact that today would just be another day, albeit slightly later in the week than I originally thought.
Then the texts started.
They all seemed to be concerned with an individual called Arthur. Yes, I knew that today was the anniversary of Guinness but it didn't register with me just how enormous this day had become. Practically everyone I know is in the pub as I write this (except Fakey). Those that aren't are happy in the knowledge that they have tickets for one of the many, many gigs around Dublin tonight. Some bands are playing twice, and even three times, in different venues. Just like Phil Collins did back in 84. Whilst sadly there's no Phil tonight, it does has a twisted Live Aid vibe about it.
Sorta like a Live Aid for Alcoholics. Which says it all about this little country I think...

I'm sure the marketing execs in charge of this campaign will be copping 6 figure bonuses this year. What a concept: Lets have a worldwide celebration of a, er, beer.
Coming next- A man named Birds-Eye -A round the globe tribute to 63 years of the fish finger, National Fanny Pad Day etc etc
