Interesting. This story raised a question for me. It seems that violence is still occurring there, though the US media stopped reporting it after Clinton’s (surrender) peace deal.

Mick and Pat are digging on a building site when they unearth a bomb. “What shall we do with it pat?” asks Mick, “We’ll put it in the wheelbarrow and take it to the foreman later.” Says pat. A few hours later they dig up another bomb, which they put with the first. As they are wheeling their finds to the foreman’s office at the end of the day, the second bomb starts to tick, “What shall we do if that bomb blows up?” asks a worried Mick, “well” replies Pat, “I think we’ll tell him we only found the one!”

Does this story line really make sense?

The Irish media does vigorously down play terrorism and the Irish in general like to roll up all that happened with the IRA as simply “the troubles”. It’s there way.

Let’s assume the bomber was IRA, would they bomb Dublin? Not likely! More likely the target would be in Northern Ireland.

Let’s assume for a moment it was DST confusion and the bomber lost an hour. Could the bomber have driven to Northern Ireland in that lost hour? Again, not likely, it’s over 40 miles.

So it all doesn’t really sound like IRA and who does that leave as the foremost suspect group? I’ll give you three guesses and the first two don’t count.

Anyway, the story line seems intended to quell fear, which is reflexive there.

One person makes a wild guess and it becomes fact in the headlines. Anything to sell papers.

** A Dublin man **

Is he really from Dublin or did he move there from a warmer climate?

Maybe the guy was thirsty and didn’t get the concept?

Irish Car Bomb is one of the most popular drinks worldwide. The ingredients are simple and widely available, and beer lovers will almost certainly enjoy it. If you ask for one of these in an Irish pub you’ll be greeted with either a smile, or a black eye. Enjoy!

3/4 pint Guinness® stout
1/2 shot Bailey’s® Irish cream
1/2 shot Jameson® Irish whiskey

Add the Bailey’s and Jameson to a shot glass, layering the Bailey’s on the bottom. Pour the Guinness into a pint glass or beer mug 3/4 of the way full and let settle. Drop the shot glass into the Guinness and chug. If you don’t drink it fast enough it will curdle and increasingly taste worse.
