All unsolicited health advice is annoying, but anaemia in particular is wild, with people who’ve never had a blood test declaring themselves “a bit anaemic” and merrily telling you to stop taking prescription iron for Holland & Barratt crap & that your diet is the cause/solution

Apologies for the millions of Guinness recommendations from Irish people.

I went drinking with a guy from Roscommon once. He went out once a year. As we walked down the street I noticed he was wearing braces and his trousers were swinging round his arse. He ordered pints for us. When they arrived (this was in Oxford in 80s so 5 mins) he ordered ...
