If a barman spots a famous person in the pub would it be excluded?
Wasnāt the spot at work? Or was he merely traveling to work? Iād be giving it myself but there are some strict rules here
Heās there in a work capacity surely?
Thatās not actually the bye law.

Putative Ireland captain at the next world cup
Where? TSC Wilmslow yesterday
Circumstances
I was waiting for my mate whoās one of the owners to finish up, and we were the only people in there. He heard me speaking and asked what part I was from He was waiting for his wife who had an appointment next door.
An absolute gentleman, his family hail from cork. Despite being third generation born in NW England, with the accent to match, he told me heād opted to play for Ireland instead of England (which was also a possibility) as he just felt Irish.
Heād been to a couple of all Ireland finals, and played against the Aussies at thomond park in the last World cup (they battered us, he said with a quiet laugh), but he loved it.
He was holding out this last season in super League especially for the WC, but it cancelled, and he said he wasnāt sure whether he could hang on another year as the injuries were mounting up (his hands were smashed like an old school hurler). His idea of lucky with injuries was, well, controversial to say the least (this all came about as we were talking about hurling by then, and the resurgence of cork).
We discussed the pay scales and structure, and those in the NRL, the current state of the professional game (under serious threat in the UK), his retirement plans.
His wife then joined us briefly. She was absolutely stunning.
A quiet man, softly spoken, and hard as a fucking brick.
It was epic.
He was highly highly complementary of the Irish rugby league talent, and says thereās a great lad playing at HKR.
Knew Brian Carney well, but didnāt express an opinion on him personally.
