     @cstross Is that another of those quaint English placenames?

     @cstross @slowtiger @jannem @adriano I'm pretty sure there are fake Irish pubs in Lhasa and Ulanbaatar by now. When Elon Musk's first landing party of hand-picked 8chan edgelords finally lands on Mars, they'll probably find a fake Irish pub in the Valle Marineris.

     @slowtiger @jannem @adriano @angusm Yeah, we have fake Irish pubs in Edinburgh too. A friend of mine once got turned down for a job in one because he was too Irish. (He comes from Belfast.)

     @cstross @jannem @adriano @angusm This is the opposite end of the scale, on our side we have a generic "Irish Pub" in each town which isn't irish at all.

     The scary thing is, I have no idea if any of these names are real or fake.

     @jannem @slowtiger @adriano @angusm I sometimes go drinking in the Dagda Bar on Buccleugh Street in Edinburgh. It's a great place to suggest meeting foreign visitors!
