Guest Post: Questions ...by Pat Walsh

 * Questions *

Frivolous Post alert

As I relax and recover the body in the Lanzarote I find my mind isn’t at peace as I question so many things.. LIFE is strange

How many tug boats would it take to pull the Island of Ireland a few hundred miles further South in the Atlantic?

I’m getting my Vitamin D from the Sun but is there Calcium in Aperol Spritz

If Trump can claim or rename anything he likes, can I call the beach near me the Gulf of Paddy. Everyone on it seems to be Irish anyway

When should wearing three-quarter length shorts on small men while wearing pulled up white socks be declared a fashion crime

On a poster for upcoming  St Patrick’s Day festival they have a competition, not sure is it one of two events. Hurling and Canarian Wrestling…! We have that for years, have you ever seen a hurling match between Limerick and Clare?

If there are sixty minutes in an Irish Hour how does a Happy Hour here go from 10.30am to 7pm

Met some lads from Wales this evening on a stag who are playing a cricket match in the morning in Lanzarote… That has so many questions I don’t know where to start. 

This is a great Island for the triathlon training gang. Swimming in the morning, cycling mountains during the day and running in the evening. But lads it is a bit unsettling when I’m settling into a pint and a steak the size of a small country to see a CTC Cork Tri gang t-shirts running past the window. It gives me FOMO.. Go easy 

Is there more Irish Bars in Lanzarote than in Ireland

St Brendan and St Columbanus travelled the world bringing Irish Culture with them. Why didn’t they visit here and bring a few Barry’s Tea Bags with them. The ones in the Hotel you wouldn’t get life out of them with a de-fib and a prayer to St Anthony..

Definitely less Dublin GAA football jersies around since they lost the 15 in a row and turned us all off Gaelic Football. Lose one and all the jersies are in the bin thank God.Problem is most of them have replaced them with flowery Hawaiian shirts that look like leftovers from Miami Vice. Cheap Ryanair flights and Penneys have a lot to answer for.

If you are running this weekend then enjoy it. Think of poor me surrounded by sun sea sand and cheap pints

The first beginnings of wisdom...is to ask questions but never to answer any.  Flann O’Brien
