Multiple Morbidity.

[MANICHAEAN]

What is it with the news recently in the UK?

If it's not a plane being shot out of the sky by quasi Russian thugs and 298 killed, it's Al Jazeera and Sky News covering the invasion of Gaza with an over-emphasis on the number of child fatalities?

Switch to something else and it's either the current debate on assisted dying, or something termed "multiple morbidity."

Think I will go down the pub tonight.

"Pint of Guinness please landlord, and before you ask, No I will not be signing papers to die on the National Health, and I really fail to see the significance in speculating which of my growing ailments will cause me to croak it."

Guiness is good for you. I told a barmaid I wanted a pint of Guiness for my low iron levels. She said, 'You are drinking it for medicinal reasons then, are you?'

Guinness is a touch of Irish genius Kev, some devotees might even say the apex.
Extra cold with a good head on it sustains; the iron levels, the imaginative juices and the soul.
In Africa many women drink it when pregnant.

It is a complicated society outside my window, but I've found that looking through a pint of Guinness, seems to smooth things over. Here lately, I've been peering through Alien Ale, something I picked up during a recent visit to Roswell NM.

The big G (that's Guinness G-G, not you, at least as far as I know. I wouldn't want to cast aspersions on your ability with the ladies though...) is good for lactation apparently. "If one Guinness is good for you

Too many "G's" developing on this thread, but it's encouraging to see that the humour is up to the usual Lit Net high standard.
Thank you both.

Pregnant women round here used to quench a red-hot poker in their Guinness before drinking it to increase the iron content further. (After lighting up a woodbine with it)

Now, that really does sound like a bit of blarney.

Nice sharing.
