Someones 250th birthday today

[Nodster]

don't know if it's big news across the Globe, but on this day in 1759 one Arthur Guinness has the foresight to sign a 9,000 (yes 9k) lease on St. James Gate Brewery in Dublin city.

The marketing guru's have been reminding us for months that today [24th Sept.] at percisely 17:59 we're to raise our glasses of Guinness and raise a toast 'To Arthur'

Slainte Folks wherever you are
