Been a couple of weeks since the last post were i was talkin about Sukanto Tanoto– such is the effect of a globetrotting, binge drinking lifestyle. I’m just back from a week in Dublin and London with TK and although it was a business trip, there was plenty of time for drunken carousing and debauchery (Yay!).

So, after arriving in Dublin on Saturday (22nd) I immediately (well, after lunch with Fi to see the new bump and deliver Giraffe type baby clothing) set about getting after it, with drinks in Solas on Wesford Street. However I didn’t like the claustrophobia – they were turning people away because the place was too full and trips to the bathroom were taking upwards of 10 minutes. So we moved on to a more sedate bar – The Swan.

Unfortunately, due to my inability to sleep on planes (even in business class) I had seen just four hours of sleep in 60 hours or so and even the 8 Red Bulls I’d had weren’t keeping me awake. Apologies to everyone who showed up – I’m sure I wasn’t exactly a ball of sunshine…….

Once TK was successfully deposited in her hotel bathroom (oops!) I headed back to the old gaff in Dublin so that the Mammy could cook me a nice fry in the morning – eggs, sausage, rashers, pudding mmmmmmmm……..I can just feel my arteries hardening Then there was some family dinner to be had and relatives (and new puppies) to see and once that was done, it was time to check in to the hotel (nice), then a few quiet drinks later (in Cafe en Seine the day was done and the business end had begun.

Nevertheless, there is still some fun to be had when meetings are afoot, you just can’t get too crazy because, well, you have to actually be coherent at these things in the morning I believe we hit The Porterhouse, Cafe en Seine (again), Milanos, Luigi Malones and probably some others. Then it was off to good old London, more about that (and hopefully some pictures) in the next post…
