It Must Be Early

While the day may be over already for certain unfortunates such as the luckless Brian Townsend, for others it has barely begun.

The Irish are renowned for their ability to party, and none party harder than Padraig Parkinson - but it must have been a particularly heavy night, as on more than one occasion today I passed by his table to be met with the eerie silence that is Parkinson being in the room, but not actually talking. We fully expect him to perk up soon though.
