Help Reading Irish Souvenir
« on: March 13, 2013, 01:31:36 pm »
I was taking out the St Patrick's Day decorations and came across this calendar. When you flip it over the number changes. It is about the size of a pocket watch, It says Good Luck from Ireland under the Leprechauns. I use it as a daily countdown to Guinness and Jamesons. Sorry Wully, no Scotch,

What I can't read is the writing pressed into the base. I guess this was made in the 50s but apparently not in Japan. Can anyone read Irish? I hope you can read it at all. It was very hard to take the picture.  For some reason it turns when you enlarge it Thanks

That is too funny. Bought in Ireland, made in Japan. Cider in Guinness? That is scary. CIder and rum heated on a cold night is good.

Yes guinness and Cider..is called .A poor Mans Black Velvet...over here you can have it with beer..50/50..its called a Black & Tan...see pic....but don,t ever ask for a Black & Tan if you are in Ireland...as the Black & Tans..were the police during the 1930,s uprising....
