You missed out the left column. Fosters again?
The person drinking Guinness was clearly not quite getting the point.

@Steve Graham – The first two are Harp.

Not sure what beer the three cans between the white/red Bud and blue/yellow Fosters is.

With that much Harp and Carlsberg, there’s obviously no accounting for taste. That said, I think the people of Dundalk would like to say thanks to the Orange Order for the boost to their local economy. :-)

That looks like three cans of Stella Artois between the Bud and the Fosters.

Brilliant!

On closer inspection it appears to be cans of Excelsior.

Nah thats Coors in between Bud and Fosters.

The cans are neither its SKOL !!

I though they were Skol as well (not that I’m an expert you understand… hic!)

Excellent shot – at least the kids aren’t neglecting their schoolwork during the summer holidays. For their next homework, they can calculate the launch velocity of a plastic bullet given the launch angle and distance travelled (whilst knowing the gravititational constant, ‘g’, and ignoring air resistance of course!)

I don’t know whether to be disgusted or impressed!

I thought the scumbags drink of choice was WKD? Either way the state the Lisburn road was left in was an absolute disgrace.. good job to the council though they had it all cleaned up the next morning…
