New Irish app allows you to buy your friend back in Ireland a pint - “Text me a drink”

Text me a drink!!!...ah go on.

A new Irish app has been launched which allows you to buy your mate in your local pub in Ireland a pint, no matter where in the world you are.

“Text me a drink” is designed “especially for Irish people living abroad!” who want to make their mark in Ireland at all those special occasions and nights out they might be missing.

Creator Colm Cleary told IrishCentral “In these recessionary times we have seen lots of Irish people having to leave Ireland and they are missing all sort of special occasions of close friends.

“So we created Text me a Drink a Facebook app where people all over the world can buy drinks.”

So on that special night when it’s your best friend’s birthday and everyone’s out celebrating in your favorite pub you can send your mate a pint of Guinness.

It’s not quite the same as being there but it’s the thought that counts right!

Here’s their website – www.text-me-a-drink.com.

Guinness release new British ad for St. Patrick’s Day – VIDEO

Still from the new Guinness ad

Guinness, the purveyors of the world’s most famous Irish stout, have released a comical new ad in time for St. Patrick’s Day.

The ad shows British farmer Gareth Longress and his specialized sheepdog heard a group of seven revelers around a field, ensuring they all get safely to a make-shift pub in a field serving pints of the black stuff.

At first distracted by a TV, a disco dance floor and an Indian, the black and white dog does not stop until all seven men are inside the bar drinking Guinness.

The most disgusting Irish Bailey’s Cream cocktail - an Alien Brain Hemorrhage cocktail

Alien Brain Hemorrhage

If you thought an Irish Car Bomb was bad (3/4 pint Guinness stout, 1/2 shot Bailey's Irish cream, 1/2 shot Jameson Irish whiskey), you ain't seen nothing yet.

The image above is what is known as an Alien Brain Hemorrhage. It is so called either because it looks like an bloody alien’s brain or because it will make you feel like you’re living a scene from Ridley Scott’s “Alien” movie the morning after you’ve drunk a couple of these shots. The jury’s still out on that one.

To create this spectacular concoction you’ll need to put together half a shot glass full of peach schnapps with Bailey’s Irish Cream poured on top. When the glass is almost full tip in a small amount of blue curacao. Wait for this to settle and add a splash of grenadine.

A brave soul who has actually tried this drink assures me that it does curdle and as you tip it back your gullet you can feel the lump of Bailey’s hit your throat.

Ideal for St. Patrick’s Day right? If you have a death wish.

Ever wonder what leprechauns hide at the base of rainbows? Turns out it's Guinness

The treasure at the bottom of the rainbow

I'm sure we've all suspected this to be true for years but this great shot gives definitive proof that the Leprechaun's "Pot of Gold" at the end of a rainbow is in fact a truck load of Guinness.
