so much good stuff there it's almost difficult to know where to begin wiv da praise. loved the b&w illo "bloke in a bar" don't know what it's from but it got me thinking who is his guy? what's he waiting for? (service probably from the newspaper reading barman). Really lovely piece.
Turns out it's my old man. He died two years ago this March and as much as I hate to perpetuate any cliches about Irishmen loving the aul booze too much, well...
Won't bore you all with the details but he fell outside his local pub and went into the hospital on what turned out to be one-way trip.
The thing that inspired me/chilled me to the bone was when meself and my brother went down to his local to tell people. The barman pointed (almost proudly, I might add) at a collection of walking sticks hanging over the bar of past patrons who had also died in or around the pub. Thought he was joking at first and he's all "No, sure you can see their names on the sticks if you want". Don't think I've ever sank a pint of Guinness as fast as I did after that... Haha!
). Really lovely piece.
