Estimates are that the sale could attract between $750 million and $800 million. The St James's Gate site is where Arthur Guinness

Per far parte del libro dei guinness ne inventano una più del diavolo!L'uomo che vedete qui sotto ha rivendicato un record, quello di aver costruito l'automobile più bassa del Mondo (il precedente "primato" pare già appartenga a lui...).Sulla base di una Hillman Imp del 1963, il signor Watkins (questo il nome del costruttore che vive a Wingrave, U.K.) è riuscito ad arrivare al risultato finale modificando radicalmente la vettura fino ad ottenere una "specie" di "Batmobile" con motore a reazione: "The Flatmobile".L'altezza totale da terra è di appena 48cm ed il tempo impiegato per la realizzazione è stato di 18 mesi. Il record precedente era di 61 centimetri utilizzando una Mini.Ah, si dice abbia speso circa 10.000 sterline. (Qui un altro video dell'auto in strada).(Fonte 1 - Fonte 2

Al termine della prova ha avuto leggermente bisogno di aiuto, ma camminava con le sue gambe.Eccolo:La figlia del recordman ha detto che, data la sua incredibile resistenza al freddo, per il padre è normale indossare pantaloncini corti anche d'inverno !E' stato l'ufficio cinese del Guinness dei Primati a confermare il nuovo record per questa "bizzarra specialità".(Fonte)Ti è piaciuto l'articolo?

We keep trying to tell him that dominoes are a game but he does not care. Don't blame him.

There will be plenty of pints of Guinness consumed today, but police have a special interest in locating one of them.A six foot tall Guinness pint costume has gone missing in Michigan and the Eastpointe Police Department believes there is a good chance it might show up during St. Patrick's Day celebrations. The $3,000 costume is believed to be one of only two in the United States. A Detroit area beer distributor loaned it out for Halloween and when it asked for it back they learned it had been taken from a suburban garage.This might be a case of you can run, but you can't hide for the crooks. After all, even on St. Patrick's Day someone is going to notice a six foot tall pint.

Broken RecordsGenre: AlternativeFrom: Edinburgh/St Andrews/Berlin, Scotland United KingdomMany years ago, more than I'd certainly care to remember, Mike Scott, the leader of Celtic rockers The Waterboys, outlined his grandiose vision of 'big music' which he described, in typically humble terms, as "a metaphor for seeing God's signature in the world." The Waterboys came close to realising this vision with their amazing second album 'A Pagan Place' but a subsequent shift to a more traditional Irish sound failed to live up to the promise. Well almost a quarter of a century later another bunch of Celt rockers may be on the threshold of fulfilling Scott's vision.Edinburgh septet Broken Records were formed a little over a year ago to make as big a noise as they could with as many instruments as

I'm not going to be drawn into any arguments of whether something is Shepherd's Pie or Cottage Pie. For me, if it is made from mince from either lamb or beef, with a few vegetables perhaps, and covered with mash potato, it is Shepherd's Pie, and I'm one of the biggest pendants around.I don't make Shepherd's Pie that often, although it is definitely a favourite of mine. I'm not sure where I learnt how to make it, although it's like that I got it from my mum. However, the other day I saw one of the super-quick Gordon Ramsay recipes on the 'F-Word' compilation they put on over Christmas, and was interested in his alternative methods to the way I make it. Plus, I thought it would definitely make a nice, warming dish with it feeling like snow will fall at any minute.There are a lot of thing

Good news for beer drinkers - Scientists at the University of Wisconsin claim their research shows that a pint of the Irish beverage a day helps prevent heart clots. Ergo, Guinness may prevent heart attacks! In the 1920s the slogan "Guinness is good for you" was coined based on market research which showed that people "felt good' after drinking the beer. Nice and straightforward that. Today, however, Guinness owners Diageo make no health claims for their beverage. But maybe they should! The Wisconsin researchers think that it's the “antioxidant compounds” in Guinness - akin to those found in certain fruits and vegetables - which make the drink beneficial for the heart. These antioxidants can reduce the amount of harmful cholesterol deposits on artery walls. So now you can indulge in a pint of Guinness a day with a clear conscience - all to keep the doctor away! Unfortunately the researchers found that lager does not yield the same benefits… But who

Aunque a mi criterio en este aspecto es subjetivo, el robot podría determinar (análogamente a como pasa con el vino) cuáles son los compuestos de una u otra salsa, grado de sal, etc.El robot catador de vinos de NEC Systems destaca por ser el primer robot que ingresa al récord Guiness por una distinción similar.Enlace: NEC Systems | Vía: TechnaBob

“In seed time learn, in harvest teach, in winter enjoy.” -William Blake   I do enjoy winter. Aside from the holidays, which can be as stressful and maddening as they are glorious, there is a natural exaggeration of the contrast between “outside” and “inside,” between the biting cold and isolation of a Michigan winter and the warmth and community to be found at home. There are very few experiences I prefer to that of coming into a warm house after spending time outside shovelling, sledding or taking a walk with the dogs; my body naturally melts into the ambient warmth, and (with a little luck) there can be hot chocolate or a cup of tea in my immediate future. Its good to come in from the cold, but I can ratchet my pleasure level even higher if there is something delicious in the oven, scenting the house and promising good things to come. Winter is not about the quick, refreshing fruits and vegetable of spring and summer which often require just

This, as you may have guessed, is an important time of year for us Shark Guys, as we enter the Christmas drinking season and prepare ourselves for yet more tales of drunken Santas, holiday office party chicanery (For our Holiday Office Party Tips click here), and the related reasons why it is best not to include mistletoe at a party where lower-level managers are known for their "Russian hands and Roman fingers" after too many dips into the spiked punch. (For a fuller treatment on this very theme we recommend that you check out the “Festive Cheers: Hooch on the Holidays” chapter of our “The Man Who Scared a Shark to Death: and other true tales of drunken debauchery"). What makes the holidays memorable – aside from family tensions reaching the breaking point and the prospect of imminent financial ruin in the New Year – is, of course, booze, and brewers around the world have smiles on their faces at this time of year that have little to do with stirring religious convictions or

Everyone is talking about the robbery in Guinness this week. However I think people are missing the real crime here. The mark-up on beer put on by the Government and Publicans. From the Irish Independent “A man drove a truck into the company’s famous Dublin brewery and hitched up a trailer containing 450 kegs of different beers before escaping through the front gates. Diageo, the drinks company that owns Guinness, Budweiser and Carlsberg, said yesterday that the tab stands at €64,000. That works out at less than €1.60-a-pint, as it does not include mark ups by the Government or the publicans. In the pub, the haul would be worth €160,000. “It’s a serious breach of our security. I spoke earlier to one of our supply guys who said it was unprecedented that this number — a full trailer of kegs — would be illegally taken off a site,” a spokeswoman for Diageo said yesterday. “So obviously, we’re taking it extremely seriously. Full in

A thief in Ireland has taken shoplifting beer to new heights.A man simply drove a truck through the gates of the Guinness brewery in Dublin on Wednesday and hitched up a trailer with 450 kegs, then drove away before security staff realized what happened. The theft was captured by security cameras. Police believe the thief counted on going undetected in the bustling loading dock area of the St. James's Gate Brewery complex, which is even busier this time of year as the brewery works to fill holiday orders.Police say the trailer had 180 kegs of Guinness, 180 kegs of Budweiser and 90 kegs of Carlsberg on board, worth more than $94,000. The vehicle, the driver and the beer are still missing.

I just got back from my holiday excursion - seeing family over gravy.... A little run down at the moment - I am going to let you listen, unwind with me and listen to some utterly stellar music. For those unfamiliar with the le blog format here on RSL: I run a top 40 albums of the year list. (Here is the list from 2006 - shhhhh!)Thirty of those magical 2007 albums were shared with you just recently.

If you think of it, my list is the ultimate buyers guide for the indie rock fanatic on your shopping list - even if that little maniac is you! The first of the two songs is by Band of Horses - a group who you may have read about and listened to numerous times, most recently back on November 7th as I let the cat out of the bag that their magical "Cease to Begin" is pretty much a must have....

¿Conocías la historia de los Records Guinness?, pues si no la conocías, aquí una oportunidad para hacerlo.Un día de 1951, sir Hugh Beaver, entonces director ejecutivo de Guinness Brewery, había salido a cazar y debatía con sus compañeros si el pájaro de caza más rápido de Europa era el chorlito dorado o el urogallo. Se le ocurrió que un libro que proporcionara la respuesta a este tipo de preguntas podría llegar a ser muy popular. ¡Y tenía razón! La idea de sir Hugh Beaver se convirtió en realidad cuando decidió encargarles a Norris y Ross McWhirter, que llevaban un tiempo al cargo de una compañía de investigación en Londres, que compilaran lo que se convirtió en El libro Guinness de los récords. La primera edición se publicó el 27 de agosto de 1955, y en Navidad fue número uno de los libros más vendidos en el Reino Unido. Desde entonces, Guinness World Records se ha convertido en una marca conocida en todas partes y en una compañía líder en materia de réc

Argentina is home to Guinness’ latest and most expensive ad campaign ever. Titled “Tipping Point”, the commercial below was directed by Nicolai Fuglsig of the Sony Bravia advert fame. I have to say it’s pretty cool, but I was left somehow expecting more. Perhaps more amazing than the commercial itself is the days of laborious, time-consuming tasks to bring all of it together: The advert was shot on location in a remote side village called Iruya, in the Salta region of northern Argentina, with a population of around 1,000 people. The cast is made up of locals from the village and surrounding area, none of whom had ever appeared in front of a camera before. The tipping scenes were created by world record breaking domino tipping experts, Domino Domain. Setting the dominos on the table from the start of the advert took a team of three experts two days, but took just 14 seconds to topple. Toppling items included: 6,000 dominoes, 10,000 books, 400 tyres, 75 mirr

Con el nombre de Tripping Point, Guinness ha lanzado un spot para celebrar su 80 aniversario, este spot ha sido clasificado como el mas caro de la historia y fue desarrollado por la agencia AMV BBDO en londres y tuvo un costo de 10,000,000 de libras.

Guinness no quiso quedarse atrás en el día de los Records, ingresando en su propio libro con el comercial para la televisión mas caro del mundo. El anuncio televisivo llamado “Tipping Point” fue producido por la agencia AMV BBDO (Reino Unido), con un presupuesto de £10 millones de libras esterlinas (20 millones de dolares/ 15 millones de euros), y dirigido por Nicolai Fuglsig, el reconocido director que estuvo a cargo del comercial de Sony Bravia llamado “Balls”. El spot publicitario de 90´segundos de duración fue grabado en la provincia de Salta en Argentina, en ella se ve a los pobladores uniendo fuerzas para realizar un impresionante “efecto domino” con miles de objetos, según se dice invirtieron alrededor de 6,000 piezas de domino, 10,000 libros, 400 neumáticos, 75 espejos, 50 refrigeradoras, 45 armarios, 6 automóviles, entre otros artículos que se sumaron para realizar este impecable anuncio publicitario… (ver videos) Ta

So there was I just the other day lamenting that Honda seems to have lost it’s way a little since the “Cogs” advert and along comes the new advert from Guinness: Hhm, more than a little similar to the “Cogs” ad, wouldn’t you say? Maybe, maybe not. I get the feeling that a lot of the guys who make these ads simply lusted after Domino Rally as kids. Now they’re big boys, they’re just getting the opportunity to act out their fantasies. The trouble I have with Guinness adverts is that to live up to their “Good things come to those who wait” tag line some of their adverts are way too long. This latest advert is no exception but puts a twist on that theme by being really dull too. By the time it got the end, I was half way through the Times crossword. And not the Quick one; the Cryptic one. And I’m shit at crosswords. Anyway, for those of you who couldn’t make it to the end of the advert, it ends with a shot of a gia

Si chiama Tipping Point, lo spot filmato in un paese in Argentina per la birra Guinness. Senza alcuna elaborazione digitale è stato creato un effetto domino sorprendente con 6.000 mattoncini, 10.000 libri, 400 pneumatici, 75 specchi, 40 frigoriferi, 6 macchine, chili di paglia eccetera eccetera.Uno spot da Guinness in tutti i sensi, considerando che fa parte di una campagna pubblicitaria costata 15 milioni di euro.

Este é o novo filme da cerveja Guinness, Tipping point, que estreou ontem a noite na Inglaterra. A veiculação está sendo feita em 3 versões: 30″, 60″ e 90″. Com 80 anos de história, este é o comercial mais caro já realizado pela empresa. O conceito diz: “Boas coisas aguardam aqueles que esperam“. O filme foi rodado na Argentina, em região de grande altitude. Quem assina é a AMV BBDO. A direção é de Nicolai Fugslig, o mesmo de Balls, de Sony/Bravia. Este comercial de Guinness pode lembrar o grande sucesso da Honda: “Cog”, de 2003, que por sua vez foi baseado num filme experimental. Mas o importante é que cada um nos proporciona uma experiência diferente.

Talk about an offensive offensive. In less than 24 hours, two Guinness Book of World Records records have fallen to German forces during a surprise fall offensive that no one had expected or can explain or could care all that much about really. Not only has an old crooked German church steeple knocked the leaning tower of Pisa from the Guinness book of Records as the world’s most leaning building (we all know that they did this with tunnels or mirrors or both), several divisions of German Cha Cha dancers, 40,000 in all at 300 participating dancing schools, have set a new world record for synchronal dancing. These elite and deadly boring Tanzfreunde (friends of the dance) somehow managed to dance together six minutes straight while steadily repeating the same four steps again and again and again. The problem was getting them to stop once the six minutes were up. And although the official announcement has yet to be officially announced, everybody knows that they won already and we

"1730 guitarist in Shillong strummed into a new world record"Barely a year after drumming up a record with the largest percussion ensemble, Shillong strummed its way into Guinness World Records by assembling 1,730 guitarists to play the Bob Dylan classic Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door for over five minutes.The audience roared in approval when police chief B.K. Dey Sawian announced that the Guinness-appointed adjudicator, Lapynshai Syiem, had endorsed the record.“This is unbelievable. I am proud that my daughter was part of this,” said the father of the youngest of the guitarists, four-year-old Ashly Budnah from Malki. There were just nine more guitarists in the ensemble than in the American group that held the previous world record. The magic number would have been 1,731 had one entry not been rejected on technical grounds. A source said the adjudicator had doubts about the permanent address of that gui

Here's some interesting news, ATOMIC fans. A year ago 1,721 guitarists in Kansas City gathered to play "Smoke on the Water" by Deep Purple, setting a Guinness Book record. Just yesterday Reuters reported 1,730 guitarists in Shillong, India assembled in a stadium and played Bob Dylan's "Knockin' on Heaven's Door." However... the record could be incorrect. A commenter on the article at Rolling Stong Magazine claims 1,802 German guitarists played "Smoke on the Water" during June of this year. What I would like to see is something like 2,000 guitarists performing "The Wind Cries Mary." That would be crazy cool. Any ATOMICians up for the challenge?

For those of you who are familiar with Lulu Guinness, you can appreciate the chic and sleek style of her collection. While taking a shopping break this afternoon, I noticed that a new departmental store in town is carrying some of Lulu Guinness handbag collection. While I haven’t come close to knowing the products, I took some time to check out the website. One look at the Mink leather large Penelope bag and I’m impressed! With spacious interiors and a  large oval clasp and gold frame, Penelope has cream lining with two interior pockets and mobile phone holder inside. I thought it looks great for either a day or evening outfit. One thing I know - I can’t afford it - it’s tagged at a price of £895.00!

Beer has been flowing from St. James's Gate in Dublin since 1759. Guinness: The 250-Year Quest for the Perfect Pint by Bill Yenne traces the amazing history of this brewing giant and how its iconic stout became a national symbol of Ireland.Yenne, the author of more than 40 books, is a fan of what he calls the "World's Greatest Beer." In the book (Wiley, 250 pgs., $24.95) he showcases how Arthur Guinness parlayed a small inheritance and a marriage into an established Dublin family to build the roots of a brewing powerhouse. Guinness became hugely popular domestically and abroad, now being sold in more than 150 countries.The book gives an in-depth history of Guinness along with facts on the personal and political lives of the main corporate characters. For instance, in 1761, Arthur Guinness, 36, married Olivia Whitmore, 19. The couple would have 10 children and Oliva would suffer 11 miscarriages. Yenne also details the marketing story behind Guinness. In one chapter he discusses the 19

My goodness, my … brownies!No ha sido una locura personal. En estos casos es a M a quién le encanta la cerveza, aunque más la “clara”.

La pizza più lunga del mondo è stata realizzata ieri a Massa, dove è stato cotto un 'nastro' di Margherita di oltre 405 metri, largo una quarantina di centimetri, infrangendo ogni record precedente. Lo staff coordinato dagli ideatori dell'iniziativa, i titolari della pizzeria 'Il Fornaretto' di Massa specializzata proprio nella pizza 'al metro', ha iniziato a lavorare nella mattinata di ieri poco dopo le ore 9 dietro uno speciale forno a tunnel fornito per l'occasione dall'azienda massese 'Rinaldi Superforni' e sistemato all'inizio di viale della Stazione. La cottura degli oltre 405 metri di pizza è terminata alle ore 16.15 in punto di ieri, quando l'ultimo tratto della lunghissima Margherita è uscito dal forno. A quel punto, il notaio Dario Dalle Luche ed il geometra Luciano Pelliccia hanno certificato il record, che entrerà nel Guinness dei Primati! Fonte: intoscana.itCilento Notizie
