    4/10. Much like a pub crawl, I started well knowing where I was with the first 4 right, then lost and confused from then on with no idea where I was. And all I was drinking was Coke Zero.

    Was out for Rugby and seen a French lad shocked to find out six Bacardi and coke was 84.50 in temple bar. I was in half adozen pubs over weekend, most not in that area, and could still not find a single one selling one glass of wine and one pint for less than 18 euro. Dublin is an absolute kip of a place.
