I’m about to head out on the Spotted Dog road trip from Birmingham to Westport in County Mayo. Just to illustrate how messy things are likely to get, here’s the email pub landlord John Tighe sent to me yesterday:
All systems go for Thursday departure at 9pm (not 10, Julia). The Bus is fuelled and washed, even. 7 of us travelling – Lynsey, Leanne and Alexandra are flying. I will provide a selection of alcoholic beverages for the journey – that’s why I was trying to get our only TT golfer, Tom to go – so that he could drive and I could get pissed. It’s a cruel world! If you have any booze preferences let me know – otherwise it’s wine, R & W, bottled lager and coke. If you want to drop luggage off earlier, you can. No bloody Iraqi Superguns or anything illegal. I know it’s not much of a bus, but I don’t want it confiscated…
Oh-kaaay. Touch wood, I’ll be back next Tuesday!
