Jack's 18th in Tipp
I haden't been to Fethard before so it was a new experiance for me. Left Castletroy with what was supposed to be enough time to have lunch in the bus station. Childers road was jammers. After about a a hour Bull rang me askin me where da hell I was. SO I told him to go ahead and get da bus and I'd get the next one. So when I finally got into Limerick I headded straight for O'Riarda's. As I did the week before for the puck. After a while anyhow I got the auld bus down do Clonmel and how and Peter came and picked me up. Striaght to the pub we went. It was great. A quite pub to have a nice chat in. Bull, Jimi, Cathy, Peter, Frank and a generally good selection o people were there when I started on my first pint in Tipp. The few I had in Limerick didn't really count. Even if I had one massive piss in Cahair. So a nice few Guinesses were drank there that night. Even though there was no sign of the birthday boy himself. Not that I needed an excuse. After we left the pub and headded up to Peters house Peter told us of the great 1/2 pounders in the chipper. And my were they nice. Can still taste them now.
The next day myself and Bull awoke early in Peters house. You see there were no curtains in the room we were in so the crack o dawn woke us. After a while we had a bit o breakfast which helped our hungover selves. Jimi and Paul were calling down for a jam so myself and Peter started strummin. Bull headded into Clonmel with Frank to do a bit o shoppin for the night. Little did we know what was in store and I'll come back to that again.
So as I was sayin we were goin jammin. And jam we did. One o Peters friends called up with a sexy Telecaster that Jimi nearly came when he got to play it. Great sound came out of that beast.
When Frank and Bull arived back the lads decided it was time to go play football so we headded up the road to the pitch. I was in a lazy mood as often I have been so I sat the game out. The sun was blarring down so I caught a few rays. Bull and Frank then anounced that they had bought somthing in town that I was gonna really like. Gusses came from all angles. From strippers to mechanical bulls we all guessed. I set my heart on a keg of Guiness. Any Danny's dream. But the lads kept quite about what it was
After the football we headded back to Peters for some grub. Peter and Bull went to mass leavin me with the guitar. It was emotional. That Les Paul is so sexy. When the lads got back it was dinner time. Then guess who came up. Brian himself. Ya he arrived in to all our surprise so the Limerick contingent was growin. Anyhow we had our dinner and then it was time to head up to Franks house. We stopped in the offie on the way cause we needed sambuca.
We arrived in the door of Franks house and it was wedged with drinkers. A bottle o bud arrived in my hand and I shot it down me. "Frank what was that surprise I'll like." He points to a keg of Guiness in the corner of the room. I almost came in my pants. Then I saw all the spirits on the table and I made up a strong sex on the beach. Once i had passed it around everyone wnated one so I ended up making quite a few. Then the keg got going and I sorta hung around it for a while. A bit like everyone else in the room.
