I was drinking in a Korean bar in Dublin and I asked for another Guinness..

"You've had enough. I'll see you tomorrow."

Holy Shiites, that's never happened me before. I left without argument (because I fancy all the girls) but it left me thinking..that would never happen in Korea or Ireland.

I forget what my point is.

There's an automatic spelling transmogrifier built into Firefox.

I was originally writing about how I slept with Hitler and played bowling with George Bush.

I can only think of three things
1)It was closing time, or nearly so
2)You are an a** when you are drunk, and don't know how many you had
3)The staff are crazy.

I get your point. In Korea they never cut you off. But of course they don't have the liability laws here.

...or, the staff enjoy not being in Korea. But, they haven't yet mastered the art of gaining a good tip.

Details of the restaurant are here:

http://www.menupages.ie/Restaurants/Hop_House.aspx

The bar is attached to the restaurant, it opens at 5pm and usually has a good crowd on Thursdays and Fridays as it attracts foreign students (pitchers of Bavaria are 9 euro). I've met polish, spanish, italian, japanese, chinese and mongolian people there, so there's a healthy mix. They didn't serve me soju there, but you can get it in the restaurant if you order a meal. Same as in Korea.

Guinness is 4 Euro. They show a lot of football on a projector screen, if that's your thing.

To get there:

Walk down O'Connell street, away from O'Connell bridge. When you get to the end of the street, take a right. It's on the left hand side of the street, directly opposite Fibber Magees. Sometimes a bus obstructs the front, it used to be the Shakespeare pub, you can see a photo of it in the link I posted above. The man leaning against the wall in the photo may or may not still be there.

Be careful at night if you're walking around that area; I might be knocking around.

4.) I become so profoundly charismatic that I activate the Godly awe instinct in humans. "Please, leave my pub, it is not worthy of your presence" is what they are thinking.

The correct answer is 2. Embarassed

I guess you really have had enough, unless Deblin's recently been moved out of Ireland. Razz
