A bottle of the Nigerian

So Guinness sales are reportedly higher in Nigeria than in Ireland. Takes me back to the days of living above the Londis next door to Stockwell tube station (opposite The Swan, round the corner from Jack's off licence). My flatmate Dave and I would regularly partake of bottles of the Nigerian-brewed Guinness Foreign Extra, which always seemed to be available in Jack's in place of your common or garden Irish variety (one of many curiosities of the offy - others included a vodka mouth spray called Zulu 42). The Foreign Extra is made with sorghum instead of barley, consequently tasting much better than the regular version, at least to this jaded palate.

Music Muziek Musique

Just back from the Sziget Festival. Call me old-fashioned, but...Big thumbs up to the Chems, Madness, Plump DJs and Palotai, Hot Leggs and the Magic Mirror, Orchestre National de Barbes, the Hare Krishna punks, Absinthe and Palinka in the Meduza, and especially Sarah, Bianca, Kiki and the VIP posse!
A nice way to end posts about music on Different Day. From now on they will appear on the blog of my new club venture Music Muziek Musique. Different Day will continue to house all other thoughts on culture. Cheers!
