The lads behind the bar in Toners are not sound at all. In fact, one of em (a coffindodger) is a cunt. Refused to acknowledge that there was anything wrong with charging 2euro for a blackcurrant. I shall never darken the door of this establishment again.
You know I actually regretting giving you a ‘cool story’ Bandage as it is a phrase that has hitherto been abused when used in a sarcastic manner. I wish to clarify that I thought yours was a cool story bro, an accolade I proffered with all sincerity and good will.
An acquaintance of mine informed me that he was recently in a pub on Baggot Street that rhymes with O’Hunohoes’ and where a famous band that rhymes with The Hubliners used to play many moons ago. It was a Saturday afternoon in early December and the odd gang of 12 pubs retards were coming in and out and leaving half finished pints and bottles. He swears from his vantage point that he could see these discarded drinks being collected and stored behind the bar. He said the barmen were topping up the bottles with beer from the taps at quiet times and putting them back in the fridge and refilling the pints and serving them too. :o
This is the kind of thing that undermines an entire country. Never mind the breakdown in social fabric, never mind the difficulties faced by the traditional family, never mind the total decimation of the church as the moral compass of the country. The implicit trust between barman and customer is utterly sacrosant. This is a highly worrying development and one I hope is only confined to metropolitan establishments. Rural publicans would not even understand the concept of defrauding their valued customers in such a heinous way.
Bandage, I presume you have informed an Garda Siochana?
It’s a grand spot indeed, it’s a little pricey in general and Peroni seems to be very expensive in most places which is a shame. €5.50 in Kennedy’s Westland Row which is a bit more reasonable.
It’s opposite Break For The Border sort of.
Cheers bro, I have loved Nastro Azzuro since I lived in Rome in the late 90s.
