A man walked into a bar and said to the bartender
“Give me a beer before the arguments start” The bartender
poured him a beer. A couple of minutes later, the man said
again. “Give me a beer before the arguments start” The
bartender poured him another beer. A few minutes later, the
man said for a third time, “Give me a beer before the
arguments start” Totally confused the bartender said “Listen,
when are you going to pay for all these beers?” The man sighed
“ Now the arguments start.”
Editorial
Hello Folks,
Welcome to Any Craic’s April edition, I hope you are still enjoying the magazine and having a chuckle at the
jokes. I have been out and about in March and the pre-match meal at the Dolphin versus Con in the A.I.L. was
very entertaining. Sean O’Shea entertained the crowd with a mixture of funny stories and Irish songs. I
popped in to Fionnbarras and Alan O’Rahilly is celebrating ten years of ownership. I dropped into Bob Foxes
and John O’Driscoll complemented the magazine. Bob Foxes are showing Munster vs Clermont at 5pm on
Saturday 27th of April followed immediately by Dan the Banjo man and are expecting a good crowd. I enjoyed
an evening meal at the South County and must recommend it.
Other events include Dan Walsh playing the cricket club on Friday 26th April and this should be a great night
for all the advertisers. The May bank holiday weekend is Kinsale Sevens and this is always worth a visit.
Best wishes,
John
City Break
The opportunity to watch Ireland play Italy in Rome in the Six Nations does not occur frequently and a £95
flight from Manchester to Rome Campino facilitated my passage. Arriving in Campino, a twenty-five minute
journey by bus for €4 brought me into the city. A visit to the Irish pub Druids Rock resulted in me meeting a
team of ‘kilted jocks’ following Ireland. On match day a busy bus from Termini brought me to Stadio
Olympio.The sun shined pre-match on the bridge and the Irish crowd sank a few beers. Unfortunately the
match did not go to plan. Despite this the Druids Rock, the Nags Head (with a U2 tribute) all had a sizeable
amount of Irish fans drowning their sorrows. Rome is a great Six Nations trip and doing some sightseeing on
the open top bus which brings you too the Trevi Fountain, the Panthenon and the Circus Maximus gives you a
strong cultural feeling. I enjoyed this Rome Six Nations trip, but I hope to go to Edinburgh for my next trip
away.
John Mac’s Rugby Angle
On the club scene, UCC will not be promoted from Division 2A with Terenure winning the division. Dolphin will
have been very disappointed to lose to Cork Con after losing a 17-3 lead in the AIL Good Friday Derby at
Musgrave Park. Cork bragging rights lie with Con but key man Brian Hayes will transfer to Aurillac in France
for next season. Moving to Munster the win at the stoop was a massive boost for fans and players and James
Downeys tackle on Mike Brown typified the Munster spirit. At international level I would like to see Joe
Schmidt of Leinster get the head coach position, as Leinster’s dynamic play if transferable will give the
national team a chance to make a World Cup semi-final in England 2015. Finally, I hope Ronan O’Gara
achieves his goal of becoming head coach at Munster as I admired his honesty concerning his relationship
with outgoing national coach Declan Kidney.

An elderly priest was talking to one of his parishioners. He said “When you reach my age, you spend a lot more time thinking about
the hereafter” “Why do you say that?” asked the parishioner. The priest replied. “Well, I often find myself going into room thinking,
‘What did I come in here after?’”

One evening, an elderly English Lord dined with a duchess at her stately home. The following day, a friend
asked him whether he had enjoyed the evening. “Well” said the lord “if the melon had been as cold as the
soup, and the soup had been as warm as the wine, and the wine had been as old as the chicken, and the
chicken had been as young as the maid and the maid had been as willing as the duchess, then, yes I would
have had a most enjoyable time”
