Always an Irishman

June 4, 2004 2:36 am General

I’ve been an Irishman for quite some time – in fact most of my life. But never before had I dared to try bottled draft Guinness. Why would I? But living in New Zealand has brought new experiences to my life, and today I took the plunge and tried it for the first time. I haven’t quite figured it out yet. It’s quite like draft Guinness from a can – perhaps even a little bit lighter. It’s not the real thing though, and I have less than a month before I’m drinking it again.

John, the game was a trial match for the All Black rugby team. Can completely understand how the National Anthem might feel so right for many US people at the moment. Interestingly, the Irish rugby team has 2 anthems, because with some many non republicans on the team, they felt alienated. Now we have Ireland’s Call, which quite frankly does it better for me.
