All yours Yorkie The surprising fact is that Guinness have 6 breweries in Africa of which 4 are in Nigeria and that the Africans consume 40% of the World's Guinness (the barley is replaced by maize but the flavour is the same). People in Nigeria are surprised that the Irish drink what they think of as their national drink Apparently Guinness have been exporting to the former Commonwealth since 1812. Over to you.

I worked in St James Gate in 1970's. Many stories.One of which was that the 2 brews specially designed for Nigeria (hot country = higher alcohol necessary , lower taxes = higher alco...) had to have a special ingredient sent from Dublin added into every brew. This was all nonsense , but it enabled the people in Dublin to keep control of what was going on in the Nigerian breweries.

Actually it's BoJo's underwater bridge between Scotland and Ireland - crossing Beaufort's Dyke.

Or it's the Ruyi Bridge, a pedestrian bridge which crosses the Shenxianju Valley in China.

What do Jeffrey Dahmer and the bible have in common?

 

[yorkshirehornet]

Dahmer professed faith in Jesus, repented and was baptised while in prison. The minister who baptised him, Roy Ratcliff, also met with him weekly for one-hour Bible studies and pastoral care. He even wrote a book about the experience and was convinced his conversion was genuine.

Is this it?
