February 2, 2008 at 12:04 PMCertainly after a night out in Dublin after 8 pints of Guinness (sorry, I'm feeding the stereotype here!) but the consistency of the output, if you catch my drift, is different but in a somewhat healthy way! As for Guinness' reputation as an aphrodisiac, decorum prevents me from commenting on that!

February 1, 2008 at 5:15 PMAmber, Were you drinking pints of Guinness or the more dainty half-pint glasses? But Guinness is good for you and it used to be the case if you gave blood in Ireland you would be given a glass of Guinness to recover on account of its high iron content. Also Guinness is a good stand in for a lite beer even though it seems to be a meal in a glass! That's the draught one, not the stout.

February 1, 2008 at 9:13 AMThis Dear Amber is the cat's pyjamas! How about some vocab on the topic of food poisoning or the making your peace with God when you think it can't get any worse. Please throw up a signpost to the relevant lessons!

January 31, 2008 at 3:19 PMI have to confess about being 无所谓 when it comes to the Super Bowl. In fact one year when it was on I headed to Universal Studios and the lines were much shorter cause everyone was at home tuned in to the Super Bowl. Ha!

February 5, 2008 at 9:58 AMIt's even apparent to the sleepiest listener the chemistry between Clay and Amber. Clay says: I don't even miss her one bit now she is in Canada. Amber thinks I didn't even think of Clay once while I drank my special cappuccino Connie says: I couldn't even begin to tell you the antics these two get up to in the office. Even Ken and Jenny are not this much fun. Now I just need to translate them!
