The Blog of Shame

It is Monday, Moyra has just returned to blighty and I have a stinking hangover; a hangover, I realise on reflection, that I really deserve.

Arrived on Saturday and managed to make it to the Rock 'n Bowl (see below) for a couple of beers and a couple of Stolichnayas (I say a couple but the measures were Russian in scale) all well and good were it not for the fact that we had an appointment to see the finale of the Premiership Season (well done Man Utd) in Finn McCools at 9.00 the following morning. Now when you get to an Irish Bar (amazing there are any left in Ireland) at 9AM there is only one thing to drink, Bloody Mary, so we had three each while watching the football... I think that these were the reason that it then seemed a good idea to have a Guinness! Then a bit of a rest and a visit to the Museum of WWII, special display on Hollywood during the Second World War, then it was in to the Bar They Left Behind (to the left of General Lee's statue in the photo above... If you click on any of the photos they come up really big so that you can see them properly) for a "Dark and Stormy"; take a pint glass, add a few lumps of ice, add a splash of Ginger Ale then fill with dark rum, out to eat at Landry's Seafood House for lovely Catfish in caper and lemon sauce, Moyra ate Redfish, both washed down with Margaritas... The trouble really started when I remembered that there was a bar on the way home, Dominic's, which served 16oz frozen Margaritas for $7... We got there to discover that the barman had made Red Beans and Rice and was giving it away, we weren't hungry but he was insistent and it was delicious and we ended up drinking two of the tequila delivery systems.

I don't want to add up all the alcohol points because I already know how many... Much too many! Never again etc. etc.
