Quick set of robot illustraions done on holiday, amazingly I managed a page of sketches everyday for 10 days.

Anyway the next pub strangeness was in Buncrana. I walked into the pub at lunchtime and there was only 1 customer at the bar. The customer in question seemed quite friendly and asked where I was from which I replied Warwick. At this point I noticed that the custoemr in question was missing about 5 bottom teeth and rather disturbingly his tongue kept flicking out rather like a snake tasting air.

The barman then popped in and I said “pint of cider please”. At this point I realised that the customer was actually rather nuts as he then proceeded to tell me the price of cider at the other 10 local bars, I replied “er thanks.. thats handy to know”.

I retreated to the corner and then overheard him saying to the barman “can I have another, I think this is my 4th now”, I was thinking 4 pints before 1pm, that explains the conversation, only he wasn’t drinking beer, he was on orange squash, I stayed there for an hour and he had another 3 pints, what was most impressive is that he didn’t go to the loo once and secondly he always had at least 1.5 pints on the go at any one time.

luckily though they didn’t serve scones at this pub.
