Ha good stuff. Best of luck with it . Any wimmin hit on you ?
Yeah but it can be a bit like God's waiting room at some gigs
Occasionally you get some nice bird grinding up against you or standing in front of you staring straight in your eyes with a little smile as you're singing, it's unnerving sometimes.
Had to politely decline some direct offers.....man you can get into soooo much trouble.
I'm not used to the attention at all, Eddie Murphy said it best "There's somethin' about singing, that is the business! You sing, women go crazy! 'Cause Mick Jagger is an ugly motherfucker"
Yeah O'Reilly's, bit of a regular there, no one has diet sprite/7up here and they allow my wife to bring her own bottle of it in and pour into her vodkas. I generally loathe Irish bars abroad but this probably my favourite that I've been to.
The Dubliner is much more tourist centered, longer walk for us to get to and as a married man much easier to get into trouble at. They do show the late night NFL games though which is good.
Nope, never been the cave, have heard about it though, it's open until 6 isn't it?In two years living here I have only been to a club or late bar once. The only night I'd have "off" was Sundays so my wife and I would go listen to diddly eye nonsense at the Irish bar(she's American and loves it)
Ha, it's the same here and my missus brings cans of diet sprite with her too. Bars are fine with it as long as she's buying the alcohol.
When I was going to Heidelberg the U.S. bases were still open and the bars were full of Americans, I guess a lot retired there, married Germans etc. so there are still a few around that area. They'd love the diddly eye stuff. It's the same in Mannheim, lots of leftovers from when the US bases were there. Weird kind of German/American mix, loads of Germans with American accents when they speak English. Great nightlife though.
Yeah, Niall in the Dubliner is a big Steelers fan so he shows the games.
I was only in the Cave once, narrow spiral staircase into a tiny packed basement where you are ducking most of the time because the ceiling is so low, all I could think was if there was a fire here we are all dead , I hated it.

He wrote the greatest rock biography i've ever read (on Jerry Lee Lewis) and also books on Dean Martin, Sonny Liston, novels about gambling and heroin, taught himself Latin and medieval Italian and would drink til he lost his trousers.
Reading this obituary made me want to read all of his work.
I've posted quite some time ago about weird pricing for bottles of Corona but that was in my local offie which has since closed but this was in SuperValu.
Who in there right mind would buy a four pack?!?!?

One of the lads bought something today from Fresh with a large price sticker of "€1.75 - or 2 for €4"
"We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."
Have a wonderful rugby trip to Montpellier all lined up for January. Flights, trains, accom all ready to go and one fucker just will not commit. Solid beating required.
"We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."
Heading to Colombia for 10 days/9 nights in six weeks time. Anyone have any advice on what cities are a must visit/indicative itinerary which may be worth following?
We'll be flying everywhere obv but not keen on the idea of trying to do too much and spending half the trip in airports.
We're flying in and out of Bogota.
Any tips? I'm going for four weeks next month, nothing planned or booked other than return flights to Bogota. May fit in Peru/Bolivia(see how spicy it is), but maybe four weeks across places like Cartagena Medellin Cali is enough.

Had thoughts about this the other day. I sometimes like early evening cans of draught Guinness on a Sunday. Local garage usually have that 4 pack for €7.50. I usually buy that, drink them and am satisfied.
They were out of stock. The single cans were €2.79 but they had an 8 pack for €13.
Naturally I saw the value and bought the 8 pack. Drank 7 of them.
On Monday morning I reflected that 4 of the single cans were actually better value afterall.
I hold silver in tit for tat, and I love you for that
Abe Lincoln GOAT US President for sure, mad that Washington tops that list. Abe would probably be number 1 on my list of fantasy dinner guests.
Hmm, makes me wonder who else would I like to chat to? Stephen Jay Gould maybe. Frank Sinatra. Barack Obama would surely be an excellent guest. Likewise Graham Norton maybe, though would that be a waste of a pick with all of history open to me?

Obama was fantastic on the David Letterman Netflix show. Definitely worth catching. Jay Z was another I enjoyed even though I wouldnt be a fan of his music

If you don’t have Charlie Chaplin, Peter Cook or Groucho Marx, Robin Williams and Bill Hicks on you dinner list, don’t invite me . (I know, feck off) . I’m not making small talk with Obama when Charlie is making those spuds dance with the forks and quick fire Groucho is cutting the meat with his razor sharp wit whilst all the while Peter Cook is ranting on about the texture of the wind he just omitted from his anus just 5 seconds earlier.
Robin Williams bouncing off Groucho and Bill Hicks blowing smoke up everyone’s arse. What a night that would be. That’s my list anyway for now. I’d also like Peppa Pig as the main course

And ZERO hip hop .
Actors or entertainers whose work involved following a script will probably be a disappointment, they are usually quite poor on Celebrity Big Brother. When Groucho has gone through his pre-rehearsed jokes there may not be a lot left. It's possible I'm underestimating him though.

Groucho was the wrong one to single out there.
. Hey but you gave the game away by mentioning Celibrity Big Brother .

Most of his jokes were made with his eyebrows.

Solks mentioned some of the naturally funniest people though.
Mind you, being able to choose dinner guests from history and choosing entertainers is questionable.
I may have mentioned this before, but my mother went through a period a few years ago of asking this question of people, you could choose 2 people alive or dead. Her best friend was a fan of ice skating and chose Torvill and Dean!
I dont actively dislike it, I've just never really listened to it and therefore haven't got into it. Would bop along to a song I heard on radio. That's about the extent of my hip hop knowledge

I lived in Bogota and worked for the tourism department so I know most of it, send me your number by pm and I'll answer any questions. Although that was 2011/2012 so might be a bit outdated
Valor lived in Medellin for 6 months I believe so he would be better to speak about there.
Solks mentioned some of the naturally funniest people though.
Wasn't Groucho famously a bit of a misery guts, with Harpo the much more sociable, funny one in real life? Could be wrong, fairly sure I read it somewhere.
Anyway just strikes me as inviting John Cleese and expecting Basil Fawlty.
But it's Solk's dinner so up to him.

All of the best were like that. You wouldn't want Peter Cook, Robin Williams, or Bill Hicks in their depressed, miserable states either.

Groucho was a great wit. No depression allowed at the dinner table . I'd say it would be epic.
Just about everyone you invited were full on drunks and junkies who would be passed out before the soup was served. Can't get much more depressed and boring than that

I coke the bastards up beforehand. Peter Cook on Coke , imagine that . Do you even lift bro? Huh. HICKS get your nose out of the soup.

Speaking of coke gonna wind my mate up tomorrow. He's a copper and I'm giving him a lift to that Sports Place in Santry coz he cant drive at the mo. On route I'm picking up IPB Champ as we are going for pints and poker at IPO. So told him to produce a nice big bag of clear flour on the M50 and ask can we stop in Finglas to drop it off and collect loots. Should be interesting.

Sounds like you just needed to get behind yourself and give yourself a push of a Monday morning

I was unknowingly going around with a huge slab of ganja in the back of the car for days.
To cut a long story short I'd organised a vapouriser for a friend who is sick and needs to stop smoking tobacco urgently, after I'd set him up with it he ended up leaving it in my car. It was only today when I was heading to drop it back to him that I picked up the bag and noticed the overwhelming smell, he'd also left the stash he got in advance of a prolonged stay in hospital in the bag

Reminds me of the time I unknowingly carried a decent sized bag of weed through an airport 6 times (Dublin twice, Amsterdam, Hamburg twice and Frankfurt) over the course of 3 days. Only realised it when I got home.
May have been particularly in trouble in Amsterdam had it been found as I was asking security if I could skip through as I was going to miss my connecting flight.
Its been years since I've enjoyed listening and relistening to a new album as much as I have to Richard Dawson's latest , gets better on every spin.
He's been an extraordinary presence for years creating some deeply strange work and while this will probably sound a bit easier on the ear to many its no less odd especially when put alongside his previous album Peasant

This is nuts stuff from alleged journalist Gerry Thornley, calling out Isa Nacewa for making some incredibly mild and subtle criticisms of Joe Schmidt’s World Cup plan, this is exactly the kind of shite coverage that puts people like me Off

Between Tesla soaring and Trump floundering I think we should take a moment to #prayforDenny
I'm only marginally more surprised that the Republicunts are still standing behind Trump than the markets keeping Musk going.
Even WeWork has managed to unload Adam Neumann and raise enough money to keep shooting for the moon!
Yeah, I shoulda taken that trade off as a big winner. Kinda saw it as a hedge for everything else I have going though. Ah, silly to bet against a successful conman.
