Overbearing aromas of pretentious rubbish©

Looked it up 2 B sure I got the phraseology correct.
I found this gem...
"From time to time, the English do impress with their ability to tell you to f* off in the politest, more thoughtful manner".

I feel as if I ought to correct that: surely, after politEST, it ought to be MOST thoughtful rather than "more"?

As one or two of you may be aware we only have a Wednesday in alternate weeks, when Guinness is partaken and the world, in general, put to rights.
Tonight was it.

"I'm not proud, I'll talk to anybody." is one of my mantras. I was chatting to the "Hairy Biker" clone behind the bar about this stuff, (New in that day) as I was putting in the penultimate order. He reckoned he was on the right track
A) He was called Simon.
B) He was a Geordie.

He drew me a small sample and I was shocked to admit I actually could detect "distinct pine flavours" and "grapefruit overtones". Yippee, I'm on statins and therefore grapefruit ist verboten.

I may have the odd glass of this to remind the old palate what it's missing.
If I do I'll have to be careful
"Guinness Original/Extra Stout: 4.2 or 4.3%" compared to this one's acclaimed 6.3% ABV.

In the not impossible event of you not having a $%^&* clue what the title is on about looky here.
