Hi Astonian,No I never did any bar work back then, although I was doing a bit in my local British Legion until recently.I used to drink in The Nest often, along with my best pals (Boyle family, Jimmy,John, Jason, Mable etc...) Also drank in the Emerald, The Gables, The White Lion, The Crossed Guns and the Malt Shovel, as well as regular visits to the Gary Owen, The Kerry Man, The Dublliner, Big Bull and O.C's. And P.J's for the brief period it was open.When John (Junior) left the Nest and took on the Sportsman on Garrison Lane I drank in there until he passed away, Lost touch in last couple of years with Rose and Big John Mc. Saw Siobhan about 18 months ago along with Liam who suffered severe Brian damage and is now not in very good health (He was however drinking Guiness through a straw in the Kerry Man! )Also drank occaisionally in The Carpenters Arms when Liam was running it.
