    This is why I love boards. In those first ten posts my reaction went from vaguely amused, to curious, to genuinely touched. Openroad, it sounds like you've more than earned that night out

    couldnt have put it better

    It is actually a really nice bar...not like a Hotel one at all...though full of American Airlines crew

    Fair enough and it does offer the advantage of tripping straight upstairs when you're bladdered.

    Now, why would you identify a bunch of away from home 'merkin pilots/air hostesses (delete whichever you're not attracted to) as a drawback?? Get the accent out and knock 'em dead!

    Wise words, OP, mark them well. It's amazing how even the crappest of slurred lines (eg: how'resitgoin'goorgis.....burp!"), which would quite rightly get you either slapped or ignored by Irish women are found cute & charming by American women. No idea if the same is true of American men with Irish women though.

    I reccommend you leave down the drink and walk away.

    I'm gonna guess you stopped at the thread title and missed the spirit of the thread. Pity, it's nice story so far.

    OP, how's the head today? I kinda want it to be bad, for good reasons :pac:

    I went off the drink for a couple of years and I have to say that when I went back on it it was a massive anti-climax. I had been waiting for that day for ages as it was meant to be a celebration of finishing all exams. I had two pints and they just weren't as nice as I had imagined them to be.

    I find drink generally to be a waste of time nowadays as there are so many things to learn about life and the world. I still like dropping into The Gravediggers or The Cobblestone for a quiet tv-free pint/trad seisiún and a chat but generally I'm thinking of the more productive things I could be doing with that time. I suppose everything gets boring after a while.
