Y’know,’ said the Scotsman, ‘I still prefer the pubs back home in
Glasgow…There’s a little bar called McTavish’s. Now the landlord there goes
out of his way for the locals so much, that when you buy 4 drinks he will buy
the 5th drink for you.’
‘Well,’ said the Englishman, ‘at my local, the Red Lion, The barman there will
buy you your 3rd drink, after you buy the first 2′
‘Ahhhhh, that’s nothing’, said the Irishman. ‘Back home in Dublin there’s Ryan’s
Bar.
Now the moment you set foot in the place they’ll buy you a drink, then another,
all the drinks you like.
Then when you’ve had enough drinks, they’ll take you upstairs, and see that you
get laid.
‘All on the house’
The Englishman and Scotsman immediately scorn the Irishman’s claims, but he
swears every word is true.
‘Well,’ said the Englishman ‘did this actually happen to you?’
‘Not me meself, personally, no,’ said the Irishman….’But it did happen to me
sister!’

I’ll be in Ireland in August and might be able to sneak away for half a round of golf. Are most of the golf courses there considered private or member exclusive? Are there any public courses and is it easy to walk on without a tee time? What are some good, respectable public golf courses near Dublin, Waterford, Cork, Killarney, or Shannon?
An Irishman, an Aussie and a Scot were sitting in an Aussie bar in Brisbane.
The view was fantastic, the beer excellent, the food exceptional.
Y’ken, said the Scotsman, I still prefer the pubs
back home.
Why?, asks the Aussie.
In Glasgow there’s a wee bar called McTavish’s.
Now, the landlord there goes out of his way for the locals so much
that when you buy 4 drinks, he will buy the 5th drink for you.
Well, said the Aussie, at my local, The Fair Dinkum, the barman
there will buy you your 3rd drink after you buy the first two.
Ahhh, that’s nuttin, said the Irishman.. Back home in Dublin
there’s Ryan’s Bar. Now, the moment you set foot in the place
they’ll buy you a drink, then another, all the drinks you like.
Then, when you’ve had enough drinks, they’ll take you upstairs
and see that you get laid. All on the house.
Well, said the Scotsman, did this actually happen to you?
Not me myself, personally, no, said the Irishman,
but it did happen to me sister.
An Irishman walks into a bar in Dublin , orders three pints of Guinness and sits in the back of the room, drinking a sip out of each one in turn.
When he finished all three, he comes back to the bar and orders three
more. The bartender says to him, ‘You know, a pint goes flat after I
draw it; It would taste better if you bought one at a time.’
The Irishman replies, ‘Well, you see, I have two brothers. One is in
America , the other in Australia , and I’m here in Dublin . When we all
left home, we promised that we’d drink this way to remember the days
we all drank together.’
The bartender admits that this is a nice custom, and leaves it there.
The Irishman becomes a regular in the bar and always drinks the same
way: he orders three pints and drinks the three pints by taking drinks from each of them in turn.
One day, he comes in and orders two pints. All the other regulars’ in
the bar notice and fall silent.
When he comes back to the bar for the second round, the bartender
says, ‘I don’t want to intrude on your grief, but I wanted to offer my condolences on your great loss.’
The Irishman looks confused for a moment, then the light dawns in his
eye and he laughs.
‘Oh, no,’ he says, ‘Everyone is fine. It’s me……..I’m driving!’
‘ Y’know ‘, said the Scotsman, ‘I still prefer the pubs back home. In Glasgow there’s a little bar called McTavish’s. Now the landlord there
goes out of his way for the locals so much that when you buy four drinks he will buy the fifth drink for you.’
‘Well’, said the Englishman, ‘At my local, The Black Bull, the barman there will buy you your third drink after you buy the first two!’
‘Ahhh, that’s nothing’, said the Irishman.’Back home in Dublin there’s Ryan ‘s Bar. Now the moment you set foot in the place they’ll buy you a drink, then another, all the drinks you like. Then when you’ve had enough drinks they’ll take you upstairs and see that you get laid. All on the house.’
The Englishman and Scotsman immediately scoffed at these claims, but the Irishman insisted that every word was true.. ‘Well’, said the Englishman, ‘Did this actually happen to you?’
‘Not me meself, personally, no’, said the Irishman, ‘But it did happen to my sister’.
