1203.0. "complaint/gripe" by TUXEDO::MOREY () Wed Mar 24 1993 10:25

    	
    	As a reader of this Celtic Notes file....I have one big
    	complaint....no matter what the subject, there is always
    	those that answer with some kind of remark about a pint
    	guiness, a pub and so on.....I don't want to be a prude
    	and have no objection against this kind of foolery...but
    	one do they have to interject it in subjects that people
    	are asking for help or information....as pretty soon the
    	subject has been pushed aside and the info or questions
    	never do get answered.
    
    	I love the Celtic note file....and I love fun too, but
    	not when someone is trying to obtain information on
    	a subject that is serious.
    
    	Just my 2 cents worth!

1203.1	Apologies	CHEFS::HOUSEB		`Wed Mar 24 1993 10:44`	13
	Apologies if I am an offender. Next time you are in England give me a call and I will make up for it by getting you a pint of the black stuff. ok ok I know it was predictable........... Brian.
1203.2	While we're on the topic of Pints ......	HILL16::BURNS	ANCL�R	`Thu Mar 25 1993 10:01`	12
	re: .0 The proper spelling is Guinness.
1203.3	not really; its just a plain PINT	CTHQ::COADY		`Thu Mar 25 1993 10:36`	6
	actually its not, in Ireland all you ask for is a PINT and you get Guinness, except in thecounty that serves dog-rub topped with shaving cream.
1203.4	I'd kill for a Pint of Porter !!!	HILL16::BURNS	ANCL�R	`Thu Mar 25 1993 11:43`	14
	So , how was the trip home Gerry ?? I suppose you had a pint or two yourself !! keVin
1203.5	Good radio....	CSLALL::KSULLIVAN		`Thu Mar 25 1993 13:32`	12
	You'd best be careful....remember the last contributor who's grapes were treated less than seriously, went off and started his own notesfile, leaving everyone involved here feeling empty and shallow. And you all know that both of them are correct. By the way, does anyone ever listen to the Howard Stern show?
1203.6	A good example of my gripe!	TUXEDO::MOREY		`Thu Mar 25 1993 14:01`	2
	well......a typical example of what I was complaining/griping about.....Note 1203.4!
1203.7	Life's too short to drink bad wine .....	HILL16::BURNS	ANCL�R	`Thu Mar 25 1993 14:22`	7
	Flattery will get you nowhere !!!
1203.8		NOVA::EASTLAND	The nightmare has begun	`Thu Mar 25 1993 14:55`	3
	Shouldn't that be "Life's too short IF you drink bad wine!"
1203.9	Don't try to change the subject .... ;-)	HILL16::BURNS	ANCL�R	`Thu Mar 25 1993 15:12`	9
	re: .08 Is that a complaint or a gripe ? :-)
1203.10		EARRTH::ROBERTS	toolmaker	`Fri Mar 26 1993 12:44`	3
	The social scene in Ireland includes sharing pints. Of course if you don't like the drink, you could walk to Salthill and work on that tan.
1203.11	On a clear day you can see Ballyvaughan !!	ACTGSF::BURNS	ANCL�R	`Fri Mar 26 1993 13:47`	4
	Or you could sit outside Lonergan's and work on both !!! :-)
1203.12	On a clear day things can still be blurred....	CSLALL::KSULLIVAN		`Fri Mar 26 1993 15:55`	2
	Don't miss the Howard Stern show tonight.
