I am here for Friends

About Me

"I don't know a fucking thing. That must mean I'm finally sane and that's an excellent place to start going crazy again.""My kind of pub though: dark, smoky, old, lived in. Serious drinkers had drunk very seriously here. You could feel the vibe, the one that whispered, "If you want fancy drinks, fuck off." This was your pint of plain and a ball of malt, and if you needed that translated, you were definitely in the wrong place."-Jack Taylor
