Following on Two Pints, another hilarious book on everything that matters from the brilliant Roddy Doyle. Two men meet for a pint—or two—in a Dublin pub. They chew the fat, set the world to rights, curse the ref, say a last farewell. In this second collection of delicious comic dialogues Doyle's drinkers • Barack and Michelle Obama • David Beckham ("Would you tattoo your kids' names on the back of your neck?" "They wouldn't fit.") • Jimmy Savile ("a gobshite") • the financial crisis (again) • abortion (again) • and horsemeat in your burger... Once again, those we have lost troop through their thoughts—Lou Reed, Seamus Heaney, Reg Presley, Nelson Mandella, Phil Everly, Margaret Thatcher, Shirley Temple—and they still have that unerring ability to ask the really fundamental questions like "Would you take penalty points for your missis?"
