    Ern. Quality post as ever. I love the portrait but there is too much head on that pint.

    We tend to get a larger head on our pints. I noticed in the UK they tend to keep pouring after the glass is "full", thus reducing the size of the head. Here in the US, at least from my observation, is they stop as soon as the the head reaches the top of the glass.

    And...just to be technical...this was only a half-pint in the photo. Rabbie wasn't drinking much that night and sent the glass over to me a bit later after this photo was taken.

    Great pix again, Ern! The framing looks fantastic, as does your local pub.

    Great pics and a nice portrait of Rabbie.
    I'll need to study the photos of Shannon and Jen more closely to see if I can identify the tartans they are wearing.

    I look forward to your report. Though perhaps Mael Coluim can help?

    It is truly brilliant that waitresses in many British and Irish pubs these days wear kilt skirts Especially given that Catholic and private schools are phasing them out for students

    I note that Rabbie is being ever the gentleman and looking away...such gallantry I know not.
