John B on Listowel Races

[@MrJoemolin]

Irregardless of your opinion of Ireland's drinking culture. John. B was a pure storyteller and an absolute legend. The man could spin a yarn after 20 pints or stone-cold sober, a true wordsmith.

[@mickeencrua]

"Irregardless" ?? Where did you get that???

[@paulflood4731]

I like your use of irregardless! I have a habit of using it as well. Btw I agree Keane was a genius storyteller.

[@1HURRICANEH]

Great times, simple times and fun. The real irish.

Its easy to enjoy yourself when you're sober. Good man Bryan

[@tomdoyle2272]

The late late used be so good.

[@clarebannerman]

I agree the Late Late Show is gone down and down..In fact I never watch it..Prefer to watch old Late Late Show recordings here on CZcams. In my personal opinion the "talent" isn't there...Interviewing techniques are so appalling and everyone afraid to say anything that's even slightly controversial..Also the interviewer keeps interrupting / giggling and never listens properly to the person they're Interviewing.

How we miss John B and Bryan McMahon.

[@VMA225]

John B. Himself; Up The Field !!!

[@helenheeney2284]

Have to say loved Brian McMahon

[@gearoiddom]

If John B. feared being captive of those bores of old, what would he make of the detached phone-starers of today?

[@zoomgallygally]

like de niro of kerry

[@clarebannerman]

I loved John B...but funny how times have changed ..Alcohol is now acknowledged as a massive problem amongst young people in Ireland and not considered a topic to be making jokes... about...

[@trevscribbles]

We're in a cultural transition at the moment, where men are beginning to open up emotionally rather than taking to the drink and taking out their frustrations on their betrothed. I don't think we'll ever stop joking about our ailments, but I do think it's a good thing to welcome a little vulnerability from time to time.

[@Brickcellent]

I don't know what Ireland you're living in

[@Onlinesully]

TheFallsCapone
yes that's a big problem too.
"a few drinks" like you mention is not a big deal.
The problem is that some get swallowed by drink.
And it's not only the classic alcoholic.

@@spunky3183 In my young days (not today or yesterday) pubs were crowded almost 7 nights a week...After work sessions happened at 5.30...snd continued till closing time ..around 11pm..That is a thing of the past in fact thousands of pubs have closed their doors for good all over the country..The pubs were also very smokey places ...You weren't considered a man if you couldn't knock back at least a dozen pints of Guinness..Alas a lot of my friends that were considered heavy drinkers are no longer with us..
