Do you live ‘abroad’?
Do you have a tipple at an ‘Irish bar’?
Is it perhaps the BEST Irish pub/bar outside Ireland?

‘Harlem Shake’ has now been sitting on top of the US Billboard Top 100 chart for three weeks. Culture File (weekdays 6.40pm on RTÉ Lyric fm) reported on Billboard’s decision to count views of home made user videos on YouTube towards a songs position in the charts …and if the Irish charts will follow suit.

I have become addicted to playing The Simpsons: Tapped Out game on my phone (Sad, I know). Recently they had a St. Patrick’s Day themed update whereby you could unlock the character of Tom O’Flanagan played by Colm Meaney in the episode where the Simpsons travel to Ireland (In the Name of the Grandfather). Anyway, the screenshot attached shows what Tom says when he realises he’s not in Ireland anymore but in America. Bit harsh in fairness…

Here is something that might interest you and the readers.I drew up a game for my friends last week, where I took different pubs of Dublin and turned them into a pictionary type contest. Dublin has some odd sounding pub names if you think about it, and I drew up some sketches of them in their literal form…Nobody has gotten all 4 yet without help.
Anyone?
