A friend (Sean Wood) I knew from my rubgy-playing days, and currently the lead singer with local Irish band, "The Curragh Sons", went on a rubgy tour round parts of Ireland.

One night, the team descended on a pub in a remote area of Connemara, and proceeded to enjoy the porter and the craic, not necessarily in that order. At some point, someone looked at the clock behind the bar, and noticed that it was well past what would be regarded as "Last Orders", and "Time gentlemen, please", and "Haven't you got homes to go to ?" in England.

He asked the publican, "What time do you stop serving ?"

The publican answered, "October !"
