The ol’ boozer has taken a leaf out of Tom Jones’ book, and hit up the surgeon. Let me just say, he’s looking at least half his age and he’s ready to drive his mid life crisis sports coupe down to Brunswick street and chat up girls young enough to be his great-great-great-great grandaughters. He’s really done it and god, does he look good. We’re talking the bastard love child of Johnny Depp and Brad Pitt good looks here. He’s dressed to impress the loyal faithfuls that continue to support the grand old man of pubs, our Daniel O’Connell. The beer is golden and flowing freely, the food that forced Gordon Ramsay to start busking is as plentiful as a spring feast, and the atmosphere is more electric than a toaster in a bathtub!
