........OK, admit it, joking. But I've just had to take our European quality Manager out for dinner and watched him sink two pints with a steak then stare at the second half of his Guiness taking octonagarian sips for ONE AND A HALF HOURS. I'm regarding my empty glass for a good half hour before I suggest we should drink up as we've an audit in the morning.

Then I sloooowly drink another pint (to keep him company)

Still Guiness in there and no hint of a 'OK let's call it a night'

'nother pint. And another few hints...

HE'S STILL NOT FINISHED HIS (as my Irish colleague would put it) FECKIN PINT

Another half hour passes as my tongue slowly turns to leather..........

'nother pint.

Good grief. The conversation wasn't even that riveting. Finally got home.

AAAAArrrrgh.

    I know a German, and he can drink. He has lived in England for five years mind. Having said that I think he learnt to drink pretty well in Germany, he is ex-Navy and can put shots away with the best of them.

    He is a Baron, don't know if this makes a difference.

    He's probably blaming the bloody Englishman for taking him somewhere the best beer he can get is a massively overrated Irish one.
