It seems Drake's didn't want my business as I'm pretty sure their hotel is right on the beach and there would have been ample jetski parking close by. Perhaps they've met me and this is their online way of pulling the curtains closed and pretending they're not in.
I was talking to someone about Dublin this week and it got me thinking that the Irish, without wishing to stereotype, are generally agreeable people and therefore may be willing to fulfil my request. With this in mind I have chosen the Fitzwilliam which boasts glorious views, luxurious rooms and a Pinterest account.
Message to the Fitzwilliam, Dublin
"Dear Sir/Madam/proprietary type,
I've always been fascinated by the bar staff who are able to produce a clover on the top of a perfectly poured Guinness despite the fact they are normally growling at my friend Pete who insists on a splash of blackcurrant in the bottom. He says this is because he's metropolitan but the last landlord asked if I was with him and I had to deny it as, if anyone's getting assaulted for Pete's choice of drink, it should be Pete.
On this topic I was wondering if your staff produce Snickers bars with the name of your great city on them and, if not, could they use their magical methods of pouring to recreate one? My wife loves souvenirs but will only eat chocolate if it's surrounding nuts, a scenario that granted me a black eye once as I attempted to apply humour to this fact.
I hope you are able to help as my stay is fairly soon and I would like to be able to wink at my wife as I promise her something unique and delicious. I look forward to hearing from you shortly.
Kind regards,
T. Lander, esq."
