What I did once was to buy two half and half scarves, cut them in the middle and made a whole Saints scarf from the two halves. Thereby doing away with an unecessary journey to the Saints' store.
I knitted mine together! Does that count?

Well done Johnny Shuttle. On to the second page already.

I have bought two half n half scarves in my lifetime, and I still regret giving the Saints/Inter one to my mate’s little boy. I might ask him for it back actually, he supports Chelsea anyway.
There is a (very) particular time and place for them. My father-in-law, who died a couple of years back was a life-long Fulham fan, I am a Saints fan, my kids have a strong affinity for both clubs (Southampton first, obviously!) but they have a half and half scarf hanging in their bedroom.
To be fair to half and halves, taking away half the Guinness in a pint glass and adding lager or cider, or sparkling wine [asti, champers, etc...] turns Guinness into a half-decent [geddit?] drink. In my opinion, it then gets halfway towards being a decent stout.Half and halfs are for kids, if it keeps em quiet then let it go
On the other hand Saints/Inter I get. I still love that I went there and can say we wuz robbed (obvs winning would have been better
Half and half is originally a drink and often something pale mixed with Guiness
Originally this was Harp Lager, therefore achieving the impossible and making two crap drinks taste even worse and not even turning you into a mad person like the Snakebite do
... and before the Guiness police start, its a mass produced keg beer with a massive marketing force behind it, therefore somehow meaning its actually taken over as the national symbol of Ireland and usurped St Patrick's Day and turned it into St Crap Beer Day
... and if we ever play Real at the Bernabeu I may buy a half n half scarf, but I'll never drink a Guiness and Harp
Here's one of the stouts I mentioned:

A few people may find this stout to be too much of a shock to the taste buds. I have likened it to having the most beautiful roasted barley and malt combination in the mouth, and then you shove half a bar of rich chocolate in there just as you start to swallow. You certainly do not need delicate sensitivities with this one. It delivers enormous amounts of flavour.
How many marks shall we give this thread based on a) originality b) concepts generated
Feel free to add other categories as well. I give 5 for originality and 2.5 for concepts generated but this could increase depending where the discussion goes.
