But as a great name, I would like to stick with U2 (that's the ICAO code for EasyJet)

why would anyone name their hair saloon "barracuda" ? i saw a shop like that in Clementi.
I suppose the idea is when the patrons are finally done with their hair procedure they emerge out of the shop like a fierce looking predator that lives and hunts primarily alone.

'1/2-cut at the saloon'... what's the word for an .... er, kind of unintentional pun?
p.s. Meanwhile random photo of lots of hair to fill some column-inches, and just in case any readers don't know what lots of hair looks like. [i.e. Daily Mail style]

Tried Guinness stout for the 1st time last week. Tasted pretty nice and wanted to definitely try again.
Today tried ABC stout, again for the 1st time. Don't want to try it again. Just too bitter. Guinness, yes I will definitely have again and again.

Guiness is to stout what Budweiser is to lager IMHO.
An alt is to go to beeradvocate.com and narrow down high-rated stouts. I know I've bought one (Cold Storage?) by Erdinger in SG. The German bars/restos Brotzeit etc also stock some good ones... if you find one you like there see if you can find it in the shops. That beer-shop at The Grandstand likely stocks a few decent ones too... Sam Smiths (UK) brew a good one too.
-- The trouble with a lot of stout, and esp. Guinness is it's overcarbonated. The CO2 gives it a good part of that bitterness that needn't be there. Try hand-pulled/pumped Guinness in Ireland (no CO2 assisted gas-line) and you will immediately see the difference. The latter is very nice indeed but to my knowledge it is not exported.

Try Bavaria 8.6. Despite of what you heard from us when you were in A'dam these three below are actually reasonable. Start with the golden one. It is pretty light and a bit too sweet for my taste but I like to drink it from time to time. The red kind is similar to the golden one but more heavy. The green, is much more bitter.
All of them can be (or could be) bought in CS and are cheap.

I like kill Kenny more than Guinness and I'm not a fan of stouts, I like lager beer, esp dry ones.
