The Old Reliable was about as rough as a silk sheet.

Great bunch of characters drank in there and it was a favourite place for myself and my brothers and friends when we wanted to go on the lash and be in good company.

Top businessmen, journalists, international athletes and all round sound blokes drank in there and there was never any airs or graces.

One of the last pubs in Ireland to only have a gents toilet.

Oh Jesus, I think I've had conversations with you on here before.

Your shy way of mentioning how big and respected a republican you were just gave me a flashback.

Really?

Whenever you get a chance there you might throw up the posts you are referring to.

No hurry, whenever suits you. It's a long old holiday for some and I appreciate that.

I don’t see people’s indifference as a problem, I do see Republicans base instinct to respond with an underlying threat of violence as a cliche. Grow up, that stuff might play well in Derry, not down here though.

This is the kinda stuff that makes for rough pubs, how many fights result from differing opinions, then one says “step outside and we’ll sort it out, if you’ve got the balls”.

I think it's a bedroom they need!
All very fiery and passionate and how they switch from being best pals to absolute enemies so quickly. It's a beautiful romance!
One is playing hard to get at the moment, though.
Imagine the two toughest old guys in Cork in a beautiful friendship.

This thread has gone from boring to absolute class!

Lol, I'd forgotten that was what you got offended about. You truly are a devoted patriot.

For those that don't know the chant I was referring to, it was sung to the tune of "She'll be coming round the mountain when she comes" and the words were;

Would ya do a chicken supper Bobby Sands?
Would ya do a chicken supper Bobby Sands?
Would you do a chicken supper, ya dirty fenian F**k*r
Would you do a chicken supper Bobby Sands.

If you still feel like you want to discuss this in private, meet me at the top of Carrauntoohil at 5 o clock on Friday.
