What’s this with the Jesus hands when theres cameras
Is it a man thing
Dub D2 thing
Or a hide the double chin pose thing
Or wha
Paul Galvin and his beard….
Shyte beard, in fairness.
Oh, did Louise go?
The Happy Pears are so happy… even wearing shorts in (almost) November.
Simon Fitzmaurice, fair balls to him. Have to respect guys like him, Mark Pollock etc. who just won’t give up. Don’t think I’d have their strength. In the very real sense of the word, inspirational.
Their menu seems reasonable

I was expecting it to be expensive!
The problem is every meal they serve comes with a side portion of smugness
If you looked like that, anything you served would be the same
It doesn’t at all! Friendliest bunch of people always serving you.
Needs more beard.
