Whale oil beef hooked !

Having lived in Ireland now for 7 years I get a bit irritated by these pseudo Irish pubs that seem to spring up everywhere. They don't encapsulate anything about this lovely country other than a very vague sense of ' Oirishness'.

The Australian band The Rumjacks have summed it up nicely with this very funny song

totally agree, a hotel i visited many times in Oslo thought that by sticking "the irish times" news paper to the wall some how made it an Irish pub ...

Well there you go
Ironically many of my friends/neighbours here if they go to the UK on hols often talk about going to a quintesentially 'English country pub'

So the Irish pub's a bit of a myth really - all the ones I know have the usual Sky sports on a big screen etc
