Two More Pints — Roddy Doyle

Two men meet for a pint or two in a Dublin pub. They chew the fat, set the world to rights, curse the ref, say a last farewell In this second collection of comic dialogues Doyle's drinkers ponder: - a topless Kate Middleton - Barack and Michelle Obama (f***in' gorgeous') - David Beckham (Would you tattoo your kids' names on the back of your neck?' They wouldn't fit') - Jimmy Savile (a gobshite') - the financial crisis (again) - abortion (again) - and horsemeat in your burger Once again, those we have lost troop through their thoughts - Lou Reed, Seamus Heaney, Reg Presley, Nelson Mandela (he should never have left the Four Tops'), Phil Everly, Margaret Thatcher, Shirley Temple - and they still have that unerring ability to ask the really fundamental questions like Would you take penalty points for your missis?'
