    'In the lobby, a colleague related a little cameo he’d witnessed on the way in. A big lump of a lad had gulped down the remains of his pint before screwing up his face in disgust and loudly proclaiming "Jaysus, the beer’s gone warm." Then a curious, sort of mystified expression formed on his face, followed by one of urgent alarm — whereupon he quickly lifted the glass towards his mouth again and, with a guttural roar, deposited the entire day’s takings back into it. Then, after composing himself for a moment, he called for another pint. As you do.'


    Lovely
    Did you ever notice that in every painting of Adam & Eve, they have belly buttons. Think about that...take as long as you want.

    "That the average Irish football fan (if there is such a thing) drinks more than is good for him (and, yes, it’s a predominantly male pastime) goes without saying"


    Terrible stuff, surely libellous. We should all get together and sue the Examiner for that claim.


















    Then again truth is an absolute defence in a libel claim.
