The Princess of Wales sipped half a pint of Guinness as she celebrated St Patrickās Day with the Irish Guards.
Sipped? Half a pint?
You donāt sip half a pint of Guinness, you swig a pint.

āThere was this giant sucking sound, and half the pint had vanished.ā
āWrite it down as āsippedā and be glad you werenāt standing closer.ā

I would down a pint, if that were required, but Iād prefer not to. Does that cut the mustard?

Unless youāre in Germany, where a pint would be considered a small measure.

It was quite the day for gobshites. This was just before we came past this morning. Impressive response from airport security - not. Happy to report weāre now home and unscathed (beyond the usual trauma of flying Ryanair)

Glad youāre home, Joe, after a trying ( note litotes, yay me) day. I advise a stiff nightcap. Starched to within an inch of its life kind of thing.

Gobshite is a word of which I am particularly fond.

Alas, the nightcap will have to wait. Just finished latest course of ABs, one of which came with dire warnings of side effects (of potentially hospitalizing severity) if I even look at alcohol until 48 hours after taking the last one. Well, OK, I can look, but not imbibe - even mouthwash is off limits in case any is swallowed. So big party Wednesday nightā¦
ā¦unless they decide to extend the course, which is what happened a fortnight ago - having already been on them for ten days before that.

Faintly cruel was the way I felt at sparrowfart, this morning. The sparrows were busily cleaning out the gutters (and whistling, while they w#rked), the blackbirds were in a state of noisy alarm and the corvids were giving it laldy. My companion was raucously sleeping. Aaargh.
