It seems that this Donal Fallon lad has piggy-backed on Royâs tours of pubs and has produced a novel on the matter.
Itâs included in this list of 10 best Irish books of the year anyhowâŚ.

Is that Fallon with the Liverpool scarf? who is between him and Curtis
Roy has been doing serious boozing this Christmas
Curtis does some amount of leeching off Con Houlihanâ s memory

I was in Keohes and Nearys last night and was disappointed not to run into the great man on my adventures.
The talent in general on display around Dublin last night was âHors Categorieâ or beyond classification in Tour De France terms.

I actually had a pint with the owner of the palace on Wednesday. Seemed a nice enough man.
Peadear kearneys, temple bar, damer, some noble spot on Sherrif street and a couple more inbetween for my Christmas party.
I was drinking again Thursday and the palace was jammed by 1 o clock.

You are right about the women in Dublin. It was unreal Wednesday too and we were boozing early.
Even to be walking around dame street and temple on Thursday on my own and see young people out enjoying themselves is some contrast to most of Ireland.

He hasnât started his âCathedrals of Porterâ musings as yet. No doubt itâll be a rehash on previous elegies with a few new twistsâŚ
Its just astonishing really. Knee high boots sales in this country must be booming.
Any young person drinking during the week in the countryside would be sent off to Aiseiri whereas in Dublin its totally normal and acceptable.

Well drinking mid week early is miles ahead off being out on Saturday when youâve have all the maniacs, rapists, coke heads and various other freaks out late.
You just get a better clash of person out on Wednesday.

Iâd wonder is he getting a twist or two out of it. The first year he was only meant to do 12 and ended up doing about 20.
Dublin went down a treat with the palace fans. Great to see.
