Lunch in Clancys of Youghal today.

Standard pub food, nice panini and two pints, looking out at the sea.

€23 for the panini and two pints, good value.

I had dinner in Blackrock Castle last night.

Ballycotton smoked salmon for starter, and monkfish for mains. It was a set menu but some really interesting options on there. One thing I didn't like, and it's the main reason I don't like Market Lane, is how much they overcomplicate the menu. You'd need Google open to figure out what is actually in the dishes.

The fish was absolutley top class. I haven't had monkfish in a long time but it's one of my favorites, and it was cooked perfectly. Unusually for a set menu, there was a steak. There was an €8 surcharge and much to the alarm of the person watching the numbers, pretty much everyone in our group ordered it.

Nice location, excellent friendly staff and service. €17 in a taxi from town down to the front door, which I found very reasonable.

As an added bonus we went to the Pier Head first for a pint, and Peter O'Mahoney was in there.

You got a taxi from town down to the front door of Blackrock Castle but instead of going in you walked back down to the Pier Head which you'd presumably passed on the way up in the taxi.

Were they serving "Pork Pies" too

The taxi was to the Pier Head, which is less than a 10 minute walk to the Castle.

Go back to defending terrorists. I suppose you're old enough to remember the time your pals the Palestinians blew up Vienna airport are you?

Ah, so you were caught lying about the taxi from town to the front door (of Blackrock Castle about which you'd been talking) being €17 - glad we've established that.

What terrorists am I defending dear? I'm certainly old enough to remember that someone who'd been labelled a terrorist by the likes of you won a Nobel PEACE Prize.

Any more lies to regale us with? Next you'll try tell us that Guinness is superior to Murphys or Beamish

Remember that one in Burma who everyone fawned over til everyone realised she was nasty stuff. I'd say you were a massive fan of hers

Yes I lied about getting a taxi directly to Blackrock Castle for €17. Oh bless me father for my sins

Which terrorist was that?

Nope.

We've already established here that you're a liar.

Aung San Suu Kyi

I paid good money to go to U2 in Croker once and that absolute prick Bono sang Happy Birthday to her even though she wasn't even on this side of the fucking world. Then she turned out to be a despot, I want a tenner back

25th June 2005, I was there as well.

They cut Walk On, possibly my favorite U2 song, in half, so we could sing her happy birthday

The bollox.

That was the second worst thing to happen that day. The worst was Paddy Casey supporting.
