Ciarán? Ciarán?? Ciarán!!!

We're empty!
Get your arse in gear and bring us another round illico presto*

Another great evening with Michael and Vivian.

The beer was good, the background music was good, the crowd was good, the conversation was excellent.

Today's topics, at a glance:
the Aer Lingus fleat from the first aircraft (Iolar) to the first 747, Dublin bus depots and vandalism, the financial woes of British Airways and the rolling out of the A380, Asperger's and schooling, California and Irish distillers, Berlin, television or the absence thereof, the longest tennis game in history, who's round is it?, death, life expectancy and the increasingly speeded up passage of time as you grow older, will we get crisps?, police state (France) - vs - unsolved crime (Ireland), you're innocent until proven guilty (Ireland) - vs - you're guilty until proven innocent (France), Juventus playing in Tallaght, nature - vs - culture and the difference in personalities between kids born of the same parents and raised in the exact same manner, who's round is it, the dramatic decrease in rental prices for southside properties (good - vs - bad), the criteria for quality background music, it's my round, no it's mine, ok but I'll get the Scampy Fries then..., the opening of the new conference center in Dublin, the fundamental difference in the teaching of sex education by Christian brothers in the 60s - vs sex education taught by a freshly arrived 23 years old French substitute teacher in Baldoyle in St Neasan's Community School in 1993 (to be precise)... and to finish the evening on a high, NAMA and the unconditional bailing out of Anglo-Irish Bank*.
