Photos of Pubs and Things
I went to Dublin and stayed with my friends in Castleknock. I fought my way through the rain one day to go into central Dublin, where I used to live. When I arrived back at Ner and Barry's I discovered that a majority of my photos seemed to be of pubs
Typical Temple Bar scene before the hen parties arrive
The Temple Bar, ah man, the stories I could tell you about this place but won't!
The Porterhouse, brews its own beer in the basement which is why it is hard to get draft beer there on a Sunday. Home of singalongs with Woodsy in my day
The Turks Head- downstairs dancing place, good for when the Porterhouse has kicked ou
Down Under at Major Toms. Once a thriving Aussie/Kiwi/South African bar, now mainly full of people looking for backpackers for a bit of fun.
There was one or two that weren't but they were definitely inthe minority
Litton Lane hostel
The spike on O'Connell Street- no, the Irish don't understand it either
I used to sit at the base of this statue and tuck into my Supermacs garlic chips- heaven!
It was a grim old day and no mistake!
Other than taking photos of them, I didn't really spend a lot of time in the pub- I was too busy playing with Roisin (and Ner!)
And when we did finally make it to the pub it was at Roisin's request- honest
Now I am back in the UK, trying to fix up job interviews and time to see friends.

thanks tania.... couldn't agree with you more.
ner
and you are not imagining it- that is a bit of blue sky in one photo- weird,hey!
You could always work for me. Don't know what you'd do but you'd get minimun wage. Good luck though
I would hire you... but I could only pay you in an odd sense of Internet Infamy...
Interested? At least, it would pass the time...
I was there for half of the game and everyone was watching it at the airport. I think that the Irish are fairly philosophical about these things- especially given that they have never beaten the All Blacks. Unfortunately I did miss England beating Oz on the same day. Shame.
hi, helen.
enjoy your home sweet home! ^^;
Thanks, Ken, but I miss my Bumpin sweet Bumpin!
