Before the trip started, we thought it probable that with time constraints
and the need to find a pub quickly, that we might find ourselves
in some rather poor establishments. You know, the silent stares
from the locals, dodgy Guinness and no music. Little did we realise
that we would stumble across the worst pub EVER. In hindsight, we
should have been prepared for the worst on seeing the pub's name
sign printed in a badly-centered, generic Microsoft Word font.
Inside
it looked like Del Boy's flat and there were just four people -
an old git at the bar drinking stout, a teenage girl in a gaelic
football tracksuit, a middle-aged man with coke-bottle glasses and
an 80 year old woman with white hair. The middle-aged man and elderly
woman were at a table scribbling on blue sheets - probably the local
parish lotto. 'It must be quiz night', quipped Hon. As usual Brian
ordered a Heineken and the barmaid promptly reached for an ice cold
bottle from the... shelf. Honestly - there was no fridge. From this
point on, we just couldn't stop laughing with Brian trying to stomach
his hot Heineken and Hon asking politely for another 'warm one'.
Boris tried to drink his warm Red Bull, but most of it ended up
coming out of his nose.
It
was the most surreal situation with the five of us on one side of
the bar wetting ourselves laughing and the other clientele sitting
in complete silence. Unbelievablely terrible and yet, probably the
most fun we had all weekend.
