Two More Pints - Roddy Doyle
Gevonden bij 1 winkel vanaf € 11,95
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 ("fuckin' 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?'
