Two Pints
Two Pints: A Collection | Roddy Doyle
3 posts | 2 read | 3 to read
A collection of sublimely funny dialogues inspired by a years worth of news. Two men meet for a pint in a Dublin pub. They chew the fat, set the world to rights, take the piss They talk about their wives, their kids, their kids pets, their football teams and -- this being Ireland in 2011-12 -- about the euro, the crash, the presidential election, the Queens visit. But these men are not parochial or small-minded; one of them knows where to find the missing Colonel Gadaffi (hes working as a cleaner at Dublin Airport); they worry about Greek debt, the IMF and the bondholders (whatever they might be); in their fashion, they mourn the deaths of Whitney Houston, Donna Summer, Davy Jones and Robin Gibb; and they ask each other the really important questions like Would you ever let yourself be digitally enhanced?

Lots of fun, good quick read if you're looking for a laugh. Prepare for heavy use of the f-word. 😂😂😂
