when you thought it was safe to go back in the water. Along comes
the Surf Honeys. Surf Honeys run all-girls surfing weekends, and
this summer they’re planning to change the face of Irish Surfing.
Ireland has some of the best surfing in Europe. They want to "put
some girl in that curl!" The idea is to bring the buzz of surfing
to women of all ages, in a friendly, fun and non-competitive environment.
They call themselves an"un-finishing school" and claim
to make girls out of women. Set up by three twenty-something women
(Leigh Hamilton,
Charlotte O’Kelly and Maddie Grant) Surf Honeys is building
on a something that has been a runaway success in the States. Get
in touch with Leigh from Surf Honeys on 087 6875568 or www.surfhoneys.com Waste 30 Minutes of Your Life Now: 1.

Ultrasonic Guinness Zapping Just when you thought Guinness had got back on track by recycling the critically acclaimed 'Surfers' advert and position, we read about this mad idea. Some boffin has come up with a faster way to pour a pint. "A two-minute pour is not relevant to our customers today," Diageo CEO Paul Walsh said in a statement. Hmmm, did they not used to emphasise the 'waiting' by nearly drowning that old Italian fella. The science bit; The new "Quick Pour" is delivered to the glass in an uncarbonated state. The scary flat beer is then supposedly 'zapped by an ultrasonic pulse that releases the bubbles in the beer, producing a white, foamy head in a mere 15 to 25 seconds' according to a Real Beer inc. report. Testing in the U.K. is underway. Consumer reaction will be a bit predictable. More on the story on CNN. http://www.cnn.com/2002/TECH/science/02/23/guinness/ 2. Drunk Monkey Regrets Human Behaviour Alcohol tests on monkeys in the Caribbean, have shown monkeys to be able to acquire a taste for alcohol and produce behaviour they often regret the next day. The BBC is making a six-part show on The "drunken monkeys". Phil Dalton, the assistant producer, describes the action at a recent "happy hour." "When they spotted a drink that had been left unguarded or unfinished, the monkeys would sneak down from the trees, jump on the tables and start drinking," he said. "They were tasting the drinks to see which ones they liked." 1,000 lucky green vervet monkeys have been picked for this research project. Surprisingly, the animals seem to divide into five main categories: binge drinker, steady drinker, social drinker, teetotaler, and crying on the stairs at party drinker. http://www.bbc.co.uk/nature/weird/ 3. A Glass That Knows When You Need a Pint Scientists in Cambridge, Mass., have developed a glassware system that sends an electronic shout for more beer. The iGlassware system has been developed by Mitsubishi Electric Research Laboratories. From the receiver coil, drink data can be sent to palmtop devices carried by waiters or to a display behind the bar in a pub. Can somebody please incorporate this with that sms taxi idea? On pint 10 a car is sent to your exact location to bring you home. H A V I N G A 'M A R E A T W O R K ? These Should Divert Your Mind. 1.
