there were three pubs in Temple bar, near my hotel.
the one on the left had a sign in the window 'Strictly no drugs'
the one on the right - 'no food allowed from outside'
the one in the middle - 'no nuclear weapons allowed'

Ah, I see.

Nope, bog trotting just gives you foot rot

On 2nd thoughts, I think I'll pass on that.

Well, Ireland could conceivably be on the route from Beijing so why not?
