    How do I say this in a philosophic way......
    If you' coat yourself in honey..... the bears will come after you.....

    If you attract one of those people, they'll all know you and then you'll be associated with them...


    Rather you than me.

    I saw AntiSanta in McDonald's on shop street today,
    he was sitting by the door with a coffee, watching the world go by and smiling beatifically to all and sundry.

    He looked so serene.

    What does he drink as a matter of interest?

    i work in the offy around the corner from roisin where he comes in the whole time and he drinks can's of guinness only, he's very well educated and seems like a nice chap that got caught on the wrong side of the tracks, some of the other homeless chaps are complete fookheads so i wouldn't randomly buy pints for them for the sake of it tbh

    Not exactly living a dream, but it was a nice site having a hairy man smile benignly at you when you walk into McDonalds. I dunno what was going through his head at alll mind

    I think the barman you're talking about is Cathal or something. I talked to him a good few times, used to work in Cuba and now the Bal in Salthill. Very nice chap and extremely efficient

    I've given Rory Gallagher a few quid once or twice for drink. He lures you in with tales of how he met various famous musicians over the years, told us a great one bout some former Lizzy guitarist once, and also random tales of what his buddy Robocop gets up to ("he's sortin out his grievances with the government"). Then when he finishes: "I'm not gonna lie to ye lads... I'm lookin for the price of a pint".
    Legend.
    Defended me from a hooker once; "Easy Sile, these are me friends, leave 'em alone". Brought a tear to my eye, it did.

    I recently bought KD and Nora cows for a village in Africa. I have taken out a full page ad in next weeks Advertiser to boost my sense of middle class satisfaction in relation to this.

    I have purchased significantly more indulgences than youwwww.

    Something along those lines I'd say. She wasn't the most coherent. I think it was something along the lines of "gimme a coupla fags and I'll blow ya behind the statue", the fact that I don't smoke didn't go down to well.
    Cue Rory Gallagher.

    No, THIS is how we should treat the characters of Galway:

    (Click on pic for full size pic)

    What a gent. asked nicely for a photo, of course he said yes :D
    Had a quick chat with im and told him that he was famous on the internet.. he was genuinly shocked :eek: As a thanks, I went into Crustyville and bought him a pint of the black stuff... returned, gave him his pint and thanked him for his time (I had a tide to catch, yar!) - Asked if he'd "tell me story" some time and he told me to come back soon - "what a flocking ledge loike!"

    Good work. He seems dead harmless. Saw him, eh, assisting a busker down near the Quays a week or two ago. Wow, did he draw a crowd!

    I thought I should add that this guy is no p1sshead - The guy was sitting there calmly enjoying a coffee (see pic) and just chilling out. Mind you, as soon as I offered a pint - he had said "yes thanks" before i'd finished offering :D But seriously, what a gentle talking, nice guy... really polite, not 'in yer face loike', well able to mind his own business but would have been happy to talk all night

    Ha! If its the guy I'm thinking of, I went to school with him,he had the serious expression then too!!

    He still does Halo/CPs I think, well, I know he does Halo, cos I've seen him there,He told me he does CPs aswell.

    I think hes actually bar manager now.

    Super efficient tho I will agree!!

    Eh? Every time i see him he has a can in his hand no matter what time of the day it is.If he ain't drinking he is jumping around the place like a loon or climbing up on bins,security cameras etc.Just Christmas gone he caused a row in Shop St in the middle of the afternoon because he was steamers pushing into people, guards called and he had to be heavy handed away.He is well spoken and can be polite but id take that with a pinch of salt, 90% of the time he's wrecked.

    Looking back on what I wrote, you're right... he actually is a feckin p1sshead.... I guess I was just mis-guided cause he wasn't drinkin when I bumped into him (maybe the Coffee was Irish?!) :D
