Irish bars

Are a pox on the planet. I'm in Barcelona and I've spotted about 12. Including 2 that are neighbours. They are invariably filthy and devoid of charm. I just don't get it.

Marconi the telegraph guy?
Thought he was Irish
I assume Porty was bewailing "theme" pubs in general and lack of research on behalf of the one with the inventors wall
I could be wrong. I was once before

And it was a Turkish bar up until 3 months ago, the owners went to London to pick up all the Irish "memorabilia" which they purchased from just one shop. Hey presto- but not a patch on the real thing.

Everyone was scared of Sheila, me included. She attacked me on more than one occasion. Did you know Alan's brother, Nicky? He was Rocky Rhythm, the drummer in the Revillos. He recently published a 'warts and all' account of his time on the road with Fay, Eugene etc.
