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 comic dialogues Doyle?s drinkers ponder-- a topless Kate Middleton- Barack and Michelle Obama ('fuckin? gorgeous?)- 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 Mandela ('he should never have left the Four Tops?), 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??
