Youā€™re quite right, cunt.

I didnā€™t get in but took a picture for my scrapbook. Iā€™ll call in on the way back. Looks majestic.

@raylan there was a pitch not far from here. Which club is that? A beautiful setting.

I bet @Chucks_Nwoko already has the digit in the hole covered, so to speak.

Iā€™ve made the executive decision to drop anchor in the Cornerstone for grub and pints.

He was and Iā€™m not kidding by saying he was shown up. There were kids under 10 who were far more proficient on the box. His pal is a decent enough singer though and they were doing alright for bobs.
There was a little black kid about 12 who was playing the tin whistle brilliantly to large crowds, he was pulling in hundreds, in the 5 minutes I watched him I saw two notes going in his box and loads of coin.

Thatā€™s all north clare bro.

My mind is running back, to the west coast of Clare,
Thinking of you, and the times we had there ā€¦

Saw that young lad yesterday. An entertainer.

Michael Cusacks (and assorted ringers from @KinvarasPassionā€™s parish) to give them their full title

Never spotted the roasters in the background, there was more than a few out and about in Ennis today

Thereā€™s a little unused shop close to Antony Dalys old shop selling hb ice cream in wafers, they were doing a roaring trade. I had the banana

Found a trad session here last night in the Shamrock Bar i think it was. A peculiar enough little boozer, lacking any sort of character. But given my circumstances, I have to Irish the fuck out of it while Iā€™m here.

Jaysus youā€™d miss Irish bar staff all the same. The ability to take an order from Person B while serving Person A is completely alien to Australians. Heaven forbid, you introduce a Person C into the mix.

Is that the one that kinda has the feel of a hotel function room about it?

Yes. Itā€™s adjoining a hotel. And I think the same owners have the Atlantic Hotel next to it also. When we looked for baby changing facilities, the bumbling barman directed us out onto the street and into next door. I think the terse accent intimidated him.

@Nembo_Kid do you find in a queue at the bar, the western muldoon locals usher you ahead of them for fear of some form of ā€˜troubleā€™?

Is this before or after you try to sell them washed diesel?

Whatā€™s the O Looneys place like on the beach? Does it follow the old rule of thumb of places with water views having sub-standard food?

Wouldnā€™t be the worst. Fancy burgers with chips in a bucket sort of joint.

Lahinch is not noted for its food though.

Better bet to hop in the car over to Liscannor across the bay.
