8 years ago Mary said to me 'will we go in and have a few words with John' as we drove past the graveyard. At the grave-side she showed me with hand gestures, as she said 'John is there, and I will go in here beside him.' She missed him terribly.
*Did you hear the one about the young Irish guy that started drinking...all his pals in the pub egging him on..."Get it into you it'll make a man out of you"....Two hours later outside the pub the very same friends are clapping him on the back..."get it up you'll feel better"*
I can understand stand this, my own Da has a love for the drink, but he has since knocked it on the head. He’s a desperate man fir the chocolate bars now!
I remember his first play "Sive" when it was first presented at our local hall. The place was packed and the tension/atmosphere could be cut with a knife. A very very intelligent man. We won't see his likes again. In this clip he portrays himself as a heavy drinker but that was not the case..In those days if you boasted about the amount of alcohol you could consume you were considered a legend in your own lifetime.
I had a couple of great nights in his pub in Listowel last year with his son at the helm ...and we had plenty of drink and music and crack..😊😊 Rest well John B.

My god, a gentleman after my own heart, many years ago I had the great pleasure of playing Cavatina to him on my guitar late one night in the bar of the Lansdowne Arms Hotel in Kenmare, God be with the days, and when I came downstairs late next morning he was sitting in a chair and said, God that's an awful time to be getting up. I knew his son Billy too. I hope he is well. Many thanks. Gérard lacey in Wexford.
No, man was ever born into this world, with such a passionate love of liquor, as myself. It isn't just that I love liquor for the taste of it, I love the plop, of whisky into a glass. I LOVE IT! I love to listen to it. I love to see, the cream, on a pint. I love the first, powerful, violent impact of a glass of whisky, when I throw it back in me, and it hits the bottom below. I chase it then with a pint, and that's even more beautiful still. Drink in moderation, is one of the most ridiculous statements ever made; you must drink, a little more than moderation. My problem with drink is that I was born with a liking for it, as I say. I have a woman who was never too hard on me over drink... Well a few times, ahem, John said he was going to give up drink, and we said Alright... and after 3 days, we said for God's sake, will you go away, and take a drink... he was walking up and down, banging doors, up and down the street, bars of chocolate... so we said drink it, there it is now, take it, and drink it, that's the way we feel about him, we think he has to have a drink, he needs it, and it keeps him happy, and relaxed... and em, we like him to take a drink, and I like him to take a drink, because of that. People will get whatever impressions, they like, you know. And eh, people look at me, from an attitude, from their own point of view, from their own interpretation of life itself... they view me, through, the very often distorted lenses, of this em, of this impression, you know. They look through, they look through a glass, and while the glass and the lens might be the right strength, the distortion lies in the brain, behind the lens, and that is what they see.
I'm not a Kerryman, but John B. was one the last true seanfhocails. A pure legend and a dying breed. Longlive the true sneers and banters left in the country pubs.
His pub is still open for pints,better than any gravestone i think!I think the fact that he was a landlord for well over 20 years gives him the edge as far as insight goes,wise words from a wise kerryman.
Right if youre drinking purely out of the need to function are sad and do not look forward to drinking but still do its time to quit. If you are a happy drunk and wake up feeling somewhat decent and take care of business carry on.
This articulates perfectly how I feel about alcohol. Monday to Friday I'm sober but come the weekend I do need a drink. I prefer the pleasures of drink to the pleasures of sex. In the long run it'll probably kill me but something has to. Slainte!
I'm 35 and I feel like I can see a small gap between previous generations in certain ways. (In others not at all). But in demeanor these two two remind me exactly of my parents. They dress the same, the sit the same, and they have that same dynamic where my dad sort of downplays things and then my mom jumps in to give the rest of the story that he's leaving out and he just smiles playfully like "Oh, you got me again."
"..... bars of chocolate... that when we said, Drink it , there it is now drink it!" Jesus he really went off the rails once he went on the chocolate bars, I'd say!? I identify with how he feels about drink, but I could never express my feelings in such an elegant and poetic manner.
People trying to go dry often turn to chocolate or other sweets because only the sugar can help the cravings for alcohol. I did this for a few days then went back on the drink. Otherwise I'd have gotten fat.
She says to me, "Why do you drink like that? Anybody can be a drunk." So, I takes a swig from my whiskey and tells her, "Anybody c'n be a nondrunk. To be a drunk takes endurance. Endurance is more important than truth."
Some people lead a life in which( due to commitments, family etc) they are unable to enjoy any respite, downtime, pastimes, sex, youth, travel. These are people who work and persists through very hard and long hours so as to provide for their families or other loved ones and maintain commitments through a very thinly spread life. In some of these cases a drink is their only release, down time. It goes beyond the need for alcohol. It marks the end of another asinine and difficult day in which they made it through in one piece. It may come to a stage where a drink may be their only feiend and or source of pleasure.
When things go wrong and will not come right, Though you do the best you can, When life looks black as the hour of night - A pint of plain is your only man. When money’s tight and hard to get And your horse has also ran, When all you have is a heap of debt - A pint of plain is your only man. When health is bad and your heart feels strange, And your face is pale and wan, When doctors say you need a change, A pint of plain is your only man. When food is scarce and your larder bare And no rashers grease your pan, When hunger grows as your meals are rare - A pint of plain is your only man Brian O’Nolan.
I remember when i had my first drink..All my mates were egging me on..."Get it into you. It'll make a man out of you"....Two hours later outside the pub the very same friends clapping me in the back saying..."Get it up. You'll feel better"...☺
He's functional I at the end of my drinking days was mentally suicidal and physically near death. I loved the aroma of good Scotch. God but i miss it. It helped me through some hard times but eventually it turned against me. My friend barley corn tried to kill me. Even now with years of happy sobriety I sometimes catch myself wanting a drink. The power of alcohol is incredible and powerful.

Stay strong and stick with it. We would be better off without it frankly, but there is humour in his remarks. I think JB Keane himself would commend you for qutting. God Bless you.
I knew a fella called Donal o Sullivan that used to drink and out drink Johnny B on a weekly basis. There say Johnny B’s foundness for drinking came from him trying to out best Donal which unfortunately never came.
I believe I too am a pint man. Yesterday I decided to drink before work. I had been out drinking the night before and had a hangover. Naturally I craved a beer after the standard fry up to ease the symptoms of the hangover. Rather than fight my cravings I decided to see where they took me. 2.6 litres of beer later it was time to head to work. Had the best day of my career so far. Got on with my colleagues better. We had a surprise 1 hour assessment which I aced and I was generally happier. Why is there such a stigma against drinking? Some of us are just born for it
