Dublin 20-16 November

Gatwick airport has

Decided to be human;

And about time too.

Forty minutes late

And the plane is as hot as

A wrestler's jock strap.

What she claims to be

Hand baggage would keep me for

Two weeks in the Med!

Our room has many

Hangers and a mini-bar;

They'd like us to stay.

Lunch at The Norseman;

Large party of happy Finns

Slurping up the Guinness.

Guinness has learned from

Disney to turn everything

Into a theme park.

I poured a perfect

Pint of Guinness and have a

Photo to prove it.

Dutch apple cake and

Cream will fill a gap before

Dinner this evening.

Wallace Taverna, Dublin

Grappa and double

Espresso so good that I

Could be in Florence.

Four- fifteen a m

She knocks and shouts to her friend;

Oh these young tourists.

Matt Talbot

They'd make him a saint

But all we can see is a man

Disturbed and alone.

Costa in Dublin

Breakfast at Costa

With Romanian waitress;

Good to feel at home.

Lunch back at O'Neill'sėēēéééééééé

With soup, oysters and Guinness;

What more could you ask?

A final Guinness

A last hot whiskey before

Farewell to Ireland

But we'll be back for more!

Dublin déjà vu

One week on I'm back

In Café Rouge for onion

Soup and minute steak.

I know I'm back home -

The one pub at Charing Cross

Does not serve Guinness.
