Following on Two Pints, another hilarious book on everything that matters from the brilliant Roddy Doyle. 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 delicious comic dialogues Doyle's drinkers ponder:*;a topless Kate Middleton*;Barack and Michelle Obama*;David Beckham ("e;Would you tattoo your kids' names on the back of your neck?"e; "e;They wouldn't fit."e;)*;Jimmy Savile ("e;a gobshite"e;)*;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 Mandella, Phil Everly, Margaret Thatcher, Shirley Temple -- and they still have that unerring ability to ask the really fundamental questions like "e;Would you take penalty points for your missis?"e;
