Lost a pound and found a penny!
I am English, but my wife is Irish, when we were courting we were having a quiet drink in a pub and I noticed that the guy sitting next to me had dropped a punt on the floor (this was in 1987)
I leaned across and said "excuse me mate but you've dropped a punt on the floor"
He picked it up and said to the barman "How about that? how many people would have said anything, Jesus him being English and all?"
He then bought me a pint of Guinness and would not take no for an answer
Price of a pint of Guinness at that time? over 2 punts!
never forgot it.

The sleeping Genius of Brendan Behan
I was drinking in "The Pint" Pub on Eden Quay when I heard an older gentleman talking to the barman about Brendan Behan, the beloved and infamous Irish playwright who died a few years previous. The older gentleman described how once he walked into the Metro bar some year ago for an early pint as, he was working all night. At an early bar, the older gentleman found Brendan Behan slumped at the bar seemingly asleep. An American couple walked in and began waxing about how beautiful Dublin was in the summer etc etc. The lady, after a long loud deliberation, told the barman that she felt like something long and cool. At that moment, Behan, seemingly asleep, raises his head and grunts to the barman, 'give her a Polar bears Micky'.

Philosophical
I caught the end of what must have been a rivetting conversation between two blokes sitting in a Dublin bar:
Bloke 1: "They only make a limited number of those ya know"
Bloke 2: "They only make a limited number of everything"
Bloke 1: "True, True"
Cracked up
