We’ve never even shoved each other in 35 years
Today’s Kansas City Star has an article on Dave McQuitty and Jack Hanrahan, who used to dominate the Westport scene but with the recent sale of the Hurricane have now ended a 23-year business relationship.
Hanrahan still has a financial interest in the über Irish pub, O’Dowd’s Little Dublin, as I do myself regarding the price of the pint. Imperial.
Speaking of the low point in their relationship - a restraining order Hanrahan filed against McQuitty a couple of years ago, Hanrahan said it was down to a misunderstanding and he regretted making that phone call:
Every relationship has its momentary lapses of reason. It was a couple of Irish guys with a temper that day. We’ve verbally yelled at each other a few times, but we’ve never even shoved each other in 35 years.
It’s great being Irish. You can sporadically roar and scream at people, lose your temper, get into a spot of impromptu fisticuffs, and generally behave irrationally, before dismissing it all as being down to your breeding on some North Atlantic island, or by the descendants thereof.
