I went into the Poor Relation to read my book. Asked for a gin and tonic, "Cork Dry if you have it." Lad said nothing but served me up something else with a red label, not Cork Dry Gin when it was right there. Didn't say a word. A while later I got a tip from an aul fella watching the racing on the telly. A sure thing for the NHF at Cheltenham. Fucker had only already steamrolled two bumpers in Ireland. Great tip that. And the thing is they only have Sky Sports Racing, not Racing TV/UK which shows all the Irish racing. For all the Benny, "Heritage" "Horse Racing" "Cheltenham Picks" at the Sinn É he doesn't seem to have the channels that show the Irish racing.
The Welcome Inn is a few doors up. Not only do they have a clientele that know which race is off when (and to always bet on the grey) they have two feeds to their tellies so you have SSR on some and RTV on others.
