  • Really? When I’m going to a pub in the UK it’s called something like “The Old George” or “The King’s Inn”, the building must be a few hundred years old with a door frame so low it bonks any unsuspecting patron right in the head. There are at least two fireplaces lit, minimum requirement of one sleepy old dog who’s been there since forever and all the furniture looks like it’s been hand carved way before anyone came up with the idea of DIN standards. The only music playing is of course made by some fiddler and a patron singing off-key since they had at least a few pints too many.





  • I’m queer and once had a date with a black woman from the States while living in Dublin, Ireland. She asked me if I could be her local tourist guide. Sure thing!

    Walked her all across the shitty overpriced city centre. At some point she asked me:

    “Am I the only black person around here?”

    Eventually decided to ditch the CC and take a taxi to my local area.

    Waltzed into my regular pub holding hands, cuddeling.

    The entire place filled with white cis locals went dead silent like in a bad cliche movie.

    “Harry, two pints of the black stuff, will ye?”

    Peeps realised that at least I was a local and continued minding their own business.

    Jeez…
