What Goes On In My Heed!!!

"GUINNESS last night revealed plans to launch a new brew . . . which is RED.

The drink will be made from lightly roasted barley and will go on trial at pubs in the UK over the next few months.

But the firm — who famously used the catchphrase Guinness Is Good For You — said there are no plans yet to put Guinness Red into cans or bottles for sale in shops.

There are currently three Guinness variants selling in the UK — Draught, Original and Foreign Extra Stout.

Guinness Red is the first major new launch since Extra Cold was introduced in pubs in 1999. Guinness is known for its dark black colour and distinctive white head. The strength of the new drink will be comparable with the standard beer, around 4.1 per cent.

Spokeswoman Katrina Ward said: “We can confirm we are currently working on an innovation called Guinness Red. It is a new variant of Guinness, lightly roasted for a rich red colour and a well-balanced bitter sweet character.."

Now as an ex-drinker, I used to be quite partial to a drop of The "Black" Stuff, but RED????

I ask the questions: Will the "traditional" drinkers accept a Guinness that is any other colour except black?

And will it taste as good?

What do you think?

See ya!!!

Took my Midas (Minibus Drivers Awareness Scheme) course and test this week........AND PASSED!!!

This means that now I am certified to drive a minibus for any non-profit organisation (ie: charity).

There were 5 of us on the course, 4 of which were from the same organisation. They were doing the first part which concentrated on the driving, I was also doing the second part which involved movement and transportation of elderly and disabled people and how to transport wheelchairs etc safely.

Because the others were from the a different place to me, I felt a bit out of it. They all knew each other and didn't say much to me, but I just got on with the course.

Part of the actual test was theory which was a set of questions with multiple choice answers. The others had 20 questions and I had another 10 in addition......I got 29/30

The other part was a Driving Assessment in which we had to take a minibus out and the trainer judged how good our driving was, each person was assessed separately and I got everything right. It was just like taking my car test again as far as nerves were concerned, but I needn't have worried as I sailed through it. Then I was assessed on my additional part (the wheechairs etc) which I also passed.

I should like to say a big thank you for all the "Good Luck" comments in the "I Don't Know" post, I am feeling a little better thanks and I am very glad to have such great friends on here

Take care

On the subject of tagging, thank you very much to the smeghead that put "yawnfest" in my user tags, (I have since removed the tag). I know I'm boring, but there was no need for that. If you don't like my blog, then DON'T READ IT!!! It's not rocket science!!!

Sorry ahem....anyway, hope I've played this game right .

Take care

What's the matter with me.

I've started to become very withdrawn and feeling very low. I can't be bothered with much if anything and I've hardly been out anywhere.

Thing is, I don't know what's caused it. I feel so lonely but I don't feel like going to see anyone.

Maybe it's because I was ill just after Christmas, or because I went out New Years Eve and saw all the couples and there was me.....just me.

Maybe it's just "new year blues", the wind down from the festivities........let's hope so

My head feels as though it belongs to someone else and I'm losing my temper at stupid things. I feel I'm cracking up, I think my stress level's through the roof.....

and I feel so tired.

I just don't know what's happening.....I feel like I want to cry.

Not the best start to a new year!

I hope it soon passes because on the 9th, 10th and 11th I'm going for a MIDAS test and if I pass that, then I can drive a minibus *crosses fingers*

Sorry for writing this, but I felt I had to write something, just to let it out.

Take care
