  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?'
