LOL, contender for post of the month also. that is hilarious. especially if you are trying to concentrate. studying is terrible when they are around. :D :D :D

their wing rotation is almost as fast as the bee hence the sound and speed. they can also predict by something like 9/10's of a sec where for example your hand will land and how they always seem to move just as you hit the spot. thats the reason!

People who can't pour a pint of stout properly.
They fill it too much, then get a knife and scrape the head off before putting more head back on it.
It's not brain surgery!
There is absolutely no excuse for spilling a drop of stout when you're filling a pint and a glass with head pouring all down the side of it is totally unacceptable.

To be fair its not always the Barpersons fault. Bad pumps can make it impossible. Also depends on how often that pump gets used. Speaking from experience. But its annoying have your drink spilt all over the place.

It's down to bad practise.
Besides, we don't use pumps in Ireland.

Sorry, Bad "Taps". Its not a cop out. Lets say you have 2 "Taps" one at either end of the bar, one cold one regular. The cold "Tap" gets used 90% of the time. Pulls a good pint. The Regular Tap, no matter what you do (open the tap and let it run first, reduce the flow so it pours slower, leave it settle for extra long, whatever) it pours a bad pint. Huge head, leaving no option but to use the knife. But maybe we were the exception :)

no matter how often its used or not used, the lines should be cleaned manually at least once every two weeks, by rights in bigger pubs more so. Those automatic machines dont clean as well as someone manually getting a bucket of ice cold water and fooken it down the line, after obviouslly using the proper cleaning fluid.

Yes, Its the same guiness, but you would be surprised how many people get arsey about not wanting their pint to be so cold, its easier just to ask the customer

I know all this. The lines were cleaned regluarly. It still made no diference. Im just saying sometimes its easier to blame the barman, but its not always their fault. In sayng that ive met my fair share of rubbish ones too, who cant pull a pint to save their life :D

You push back on the tap to finish the pint and you wont get the bishop's collar affect.
Getting a knife to a pint is a sin!
I was in a bar in Clare where the girl did it and I told her whatever chance she had of getting a tip went out the window when she murdered my pint with that knife.
She went mad and said that's the way it's supposed to be filled and her boss had trained her to do it that way.
L�ngers!

Ok, i do know how to pull a pint of guiness, and more importantly i know how to pour a good one. Maybe its the worst tap in the world. Think we are just gonna have to agree to disagree.

I will agree with you on pour bar staff though- really annoys me . Its not a hard job really - be polite, concentrate, customer is always right and pull a good pint (taps permitting :D )

somehow i reckon peadar this girl wasnt the most visually appealing and if she were she could have thrown the pint over you and you wouldnt have minded or it was your third - or more - pint ( which she had done the same for them all ) you tried it on and she was having none of it, so you pointed out her bad pulling approach and used it as an excuse! :p
