Irish Petition For Amendment to "99 Bottles Of Beer".

New Dublin, Ireland; Patrons of The Old Harlett's Pub are petitioning for an amendment to the timeless lyrics of the tune "99 Bottles Of Beer On The Wall".

Speaking on behalf of the bar's regulars, and in-between pulls on his pint, Net Barley contends "To be fair and just,.. once must concede an allowance,.. of one 'ottle for e'ery six,.." (hic)
Net eventually continues in song, "93 'ottles o beer on the wall,.. 93 'ottles of beer. Take one down, remove the crown, down the 93rd 'ottle of beer from the wall..."
Whilst several tables from the bar stools down and away, Lloyd Fletcher, Net's brother-in-law argues "The rate of consumption of the barkeep would forgo the farthest reaches of the commoners, and his relatives."
To which Net replies "Anyone who's able to put 99 'ottles of beer on a wall,.. Clearly t'aint Irish."

And so the debate rages on.
