Guinness
After taking each sip, swig or draught, I find myself rotating the glass clockwise (as viewed from the top) about 72 degrees or so, once the level's below about three-quarters full.

That way, you end up with a nice clean glass at the end of your pint, in contrast with those common amateur quaffers whose messy pint glasses have foam wastefully plastered all over the place.

Is it too early for a drink?

too early
surely that depends on how long you've been up. If you've just got in from a night shift, I can't see what difference it makes.

I used to go sailing most weekends in the summer, when I was single. Stella Artois and doughnuts used to be our normal breakfast.

My Mrs insists on stupid shit like toast and papayas. Fuck's sake.

On a lad's holiday in Mallorca ...
... with a Romanian pal, breakfast was tsuica (triple-distilled grape pip brandy), slenina (raw smoked pork fat, sliced from the skin), white bread and mustard.

Set you up for the day, that did..

About 72^o? How precise are you?

Maybe he takes a protractor to the pub.
There are 5 people in my household. In that situation you get quite good at guessing 72° when it comes to sharing out a cake/pie/tart equally.

I'm no good at angles
Whenever I try and cut a cake into an odd number of pieces I always end up with one that is smaller than the rest.

Luckily cos I cut it I'm closest so I nab myself the biggest piece, omnomnomnom!

You are not alone.
I have not measured the angle but estimate I do it too and around the 72 mark.

Also related to Guinness:

- If a friend tries to pick up their pint before it is settled, one must say 'wait for it' in the manner of a sargeant-major and make them put it down.
- If you get a 'tache from the 'bishops-collar' be sure to leave it on, then face the person you are with and go 'aaarrrghhhhhh' before wiping your mouth.
- If you are in a pub and drinking Guinnness and U2 come on the jukebox one must drink up, say 'cunts' and leave with no explanation.
