Pub life. It is my choice in 1973 to do that kind of<br />

life and I have great fun meeting 50% tourists from<br />

everywhere in the world everyday and seeing my<br />

friends. Yet is is long hours to own a Pub. And Yes I<br />

do have great bands on Fridays." he says when I tell<br />

him that my international hostel in the city has his<br />

name "Bollards" on the live music suggestion for<br />

Fridays. #32 St. Kierans at reservations<br />
