J. Kennedy's

A good night was had by all three founding members of the Big Nose Club in this very establishment last night.
We did manage to beat the recession blues and the lads effortlessly succeeded in taking my mind off a day dominated by the Mums.


We discussed (or not) in no particular order:
- the reflection of the full moon in the Liffey outside custom house
- the "landing" of the US Airways Airbus A320 in the Hudson River
- Mac -vs- Shisheido fondation
- Sebastien Chabal's performance in the Ireland - France match
- our horoscope of the day
- the fact that the 3rd pint is always the best
- the merit of the Sport switch on the BMW M5 and its effect on the suspension and steering
- names for baby girls
- Bill Bryson's Life and Times of the Thunderbolt Kid
- Nadal's toned bottom in figure hugging white shorts
- the price of cheese and onion crisps
- the suicidal inhability of the human race to see beyond a mere few decades ahead
- the merits of cast-iron vs copper saucepans
- the price of teeth-whitening treatments
- Ilyushin super transporters
- Okaidi kids clothes
- the imminent revival of religions and spirituality
- red onions versus shallots
- the best way to start a new Church from scratch
- the size of our respective bottoms in what we were wearing last night
- names for baby boys
- our weekend away in Buenos Aires just a few months after the crash and the lessons learnt at the time
- the new Ikea online catalogue
- Steven Hawkins and the changing of nappies (in the same sentence)
- Sharks, crocodiles and the consumerist frenzy of the last decade
- Blahnik shoes

Today's shot is not sharp I know. I had approximately 6 minutes between two trains (Iarnrod Eireann's minutes are always approximate) to take this shot.
Somehow today the smell of testosterone and stale beer emanating from within this establishment did not appeal to me as much as it did yesterday.
It's going to take me another month to build up a reasonable thirst and call for another general assembly of the Big Nose Club.
