Dateline: Dublin, 27th July 2010, 09:51
Below are the adventures of Mr. Marc “Mickey” Bertman, of New York, New York, United States of America who is currently touring the world on his “endless summer”.
Mr. Bertman, recently won the Nigerian National Lottery, which is funding his round the world bicycle tour. This tour involves visiting countries and drinking Guinness.
A spokesperson for the NNL, was quoted as saying “We are very happy for Mr. Bertman. We did not expect anyone to win the lottery as it was a scam.”

“After the Britain Beer Festival, in London, all the brewery presidents decided to go out for a beer.
The guy from Corona sits down and says, “Hey Senor, I would like the world’s best beer, a Corona.” The bartender dusts off a bottle from the shelf and gives it to him.
The guy from Budweiser says, “I’d like the best beer in the world, give me ‘The King Of Beers’, a Budweiser.” The bartender gives him one.
The guy from Coors says, “I’d like the only beer made with Rocky Mountain spring water, give me a Coors.” He gets it.
The guy from Guinness sits down and says, “Give me a Coke.” The bartender is a little taken aback, but gives him what he ordered. The other brewery presidents look over at him and ask “Why aren’t you drinking a Guinness?”
The Guinness president replies, “Well, I figured if you guys aren’t drinking beer, neither would I.”
The first photo is just plopped into the e-mail inbox at Guinness Monday HeadQuarters.
This young man, maybe be arrested for underage drinking, but it’ll be a great story. This is my nephew Tom Joseph Egan, of Botanic Avenue, Dublin 9. He is enjoying a nice pint of Guinness with his mother, my sister Áine at the infamous Grave Diggers Pub, Dublin 9.
More photos will be published as they arrive.

“Location: Elk Grove, Chicago, USA
24th September 2009
Myself, the barman and two guys who happened to be at the bar at the same time. One was on the phone to his girlfriend most of the time, the other guy was watching the football match on T.V. as was I.
I took it upon myself to inform the Barkeep of the seriousness of the occasion. I think he was suitably impressed.”
