There's usually "A Whole Lotta BSin' Gonin' On" in 'catland libation lounges, but sometimes, if ye listen close, ye can actually learn something. Like, well, ferinstance, Mbo's acute observation of the phrase over the pub door: "Ceol Caint Agus Craic". Sent me scramblin' fer me dictionary it did. I've always love "Ceol Agus Craic", but this was the first time I've "heard" it with "Caint" added. I humble wait fer a "native speaker" to enlighten me, but I 'spect it translates as "Music, Chat and Fun". Marvelous goal in life for any self-respecting pub - especially so here in 'catland. Innkeeper! Pintas fer me and the lad.
