I spent 20 days in Dublin in the late 90s. Met a local guy there and hung out with him. Every one seemed nice to me, but my friend told me to say I was from Canada.
Living in Detroit I’d visit Windsor a lot, so thought I could get away with it, Man, what a difference that made. All at once every one there loved me. Every one wanted to buy me a drink.
