Get the firkins mug.
Great irish-punk band from Hungary.
The madly hopping flautist, PJ pulled up a brand new group called Firkin in the summer of 2008. The band injects unadulterated, energetic Irish punk into the veins of the present day musical circulation.
"When Firkin blasts into the strings, the spark of Celtic party cracks. The audience leaves the ground again and again. 100 times, 1000 times. Sounds good? It will!! Fire!" (Unit Magazine)

Get the Firkin mug.
A craphole pub in Cardiff city centre that caters for under 18 goth children who cannot get served for alcohol anywhere else.

Is closely guarded by Jim who will not hesitate to whack you with his broom is you get any way out of line.

Also is notorious for serving great curly fries with a side order of Mayonnaise (aka. Rimmer's spunk)
Are you going to the firkin?
Yes mate, cos its the only place I can get drunk!
