On Instagram a couple of years back, Ian Ryan’s @shitlondonguinness account posted a picture of a pint. Said the caption: “10 days until paddy’s day. the day of reckoning. the day of the year where some of the most viciously offensive pints are poured. it is coming”
It is coming. Three words ominously weighted. The post — of a pint with the cream top coloured green — drew some 18,000 or so likes, among them one-time One Directioner Niall Horan, whose “I feel sick at the thought” comment proved his biggest hit in a while.
