Amazon have loads of them. The higher the mAH number the better.

I have one I got a year or so ago, very handy for travelling.

[shrapnel]

Is this the type of Mustard you have in your avatar?

same brand different mustard. That's the real Meaux mustard. thick grain, very tasty, very vinagry (sp?)

mine is called "moutarde des pompiers"

bits of saturday night are slowly coming back to me and i remember we ended up in rock lobster around 10pm.

i obviously wanted steak, and the waitress came out with a 1.2 kg piece of sirloin, which i quickly sent back saying it was too small.
she then came out with a 1 and a half kilo portion, which i said was fine. She then enquired as to how i wanted it cooked, and i said as it is would be fine.
Ended up having it as blue as the chef was comfortable with, which was very blue, with just a bit of color on the sides...we added a couple of lobsters for good measure.

can't fault it, was delicious!!

[shortstack]

hmm Slovenia looks nice

Fantastic place, went canyoning in Bovec a while back. Cracked a rib doing a 12m Waterfall jump but worth it

People there are great and very welcoming. A drink they call Yellow Wasp is a must try

Site called satechi.net haven't really used it too much yet, defo get a couple charges out of it for phones etc tried it on my Nexus 7 although it charged it you'd do well to get one full charge out of it from the small test I did. Bought the extended battery charger pack with all the connections for other devices, did say iPhone 5 (as people always ask for one) but doesn't have it.

They seem to do all kinds of gadgets, bought a wireless trigger for my camera for like €50odd and it works fantastic where the official Canon one is €450+

It's a fairly small capacity as external batteries go. If you had got a 12000 mAH one it would have done a couple of full charges of the N7 for you if needed.

Mad Men

SPOILER

Wow, that was some headfuck. I enjoyed it immensely and I think it's one of my favourite episodes in MM history. So many wonderful moments and scenes. When Don does the lap and gives the speech, tap dancing, ear against the wall listening to the music, the bit on the stairs when it looks like he's going to faint..... Looking forward to watching it again.

Opr

Pretty fantastic episode really enjoyed it.

SPOILER

The tv site I read they normally run a recap of what's going on & what could possibly happen, just read it there and the guy absolutely hated it.

The tap dancing scene was absolutely hilarious, Rizzo scenes were golden, race around the office excellent.

Never really thought about it at the time, spotted one on your link that I might get when I come home. It's not something 100% needed but it's handy to have I suppose.

They have a 10,000mAh battery pack which I could've got but went with the one I did because people always ask for iPhone 5 chargers when I'm blogging, doesn't have it but so be it. Should be able to keep enough juice in my Nexus 7 & external battery to get me through the flight then I'll just charge the battery pack in Atlanta while I'm waiting for the next leg of the journey.

On the iphone 5 thing, you can probably pick up a plain iphone 5 usb cable for a couple of quid online and that should work with any of those external battery packs.

Just reading the spiel on the ad where they say a bib means they're on their way to a star....bit of a stretch there lads!

[Ace]

I'm heading up to the O2 during the summer and am looking for a hotel for 2 nights.

Good quality 4*+, must have spa. Any suggestions?

the clarion in the ifsc.

There is a jacuzzi bath on the roof top here too in the penthouse suite - if your pushing the boat out....

[Guest]

On the subject of hotels, thinking of heading off somewhere the night after the wedding...dinner, bed, and breakfast for two at Druids Glen is €220. Anything better within about 45 minutes of Leixlip?

[Raoul Duke III]

was actually thinking of going there soon but these kind of 'deals' really put me off. Think I've bought maybe a dozen and been happy with the outcome maybe once\twice.

Stick to Hemingways imo for Clontarf dining. Went to Bay for brunch today, 'twas only OK.

Standard parent play not to keep child in dark about concert like that until you have tickets etc?

[ArmaniJeans]

A thought; can Camelot now be recognised as a Triple Crown winner?

No, you have to win the St Ledger, not just come second. Unless MAZ is planning on confessing all then the result will stay.

I'm sure it leaves quite a sour taste in the mouth down Tipperary way though.

Encke positive for steroids in todays tests, Coolmore entitled to be ever more pissed off at this stage.

I know someone that knows owner of Trax here in town , text him to see could he get me sitting tickets, awaiting reply.

Lucie would love that too. Where are they playing? Just think that a treat like that might be good for her after everything she has gone through lately.

[Lazare]

Speaking of communions, I was talking to a customer today who said he was at one last Sat in Castleknock Hotel, a prime function room with a balcony overlooking the golf course.

Three course meal and free bar.

What the fuck?

Has the world gone totally fucking mad?

He said the couple that organised it haven't a pot to piss in and are struggling to pay debts, but their friends, the Jones' all have plenty of bobs.

What has happened to this country?

I remember when I made it, your oul lad would borrow a car from whichever one of your uncles had the best one, a Cortina I think and you'd spend the day spluttering back and forth across the county visiting aunties with the hand out.

I have one snapshot memory of the day, a pile of pound notes strewn on the carpet, home at last with the day's haul, drudgery over.


My kids won't know what a communion is.

Fuck that shit.

[Raoul Duke III]

Ah boo. The namawinelake blog has been closed. Probably the most important internet source as to what's been going on in this country.

RIP.

croke park May 2014 Tickets on sale this Saturday! you should take her.

[ArmaniJeans]

I would have thought they would be anything but pissed off.

Not sure what you mean.
Obviously they can eventually advertise the horses stud career as moral winner of the TC if they want, but they've still been robbed of the 'glory on the day'. I know they are hard nosed businessmen at heart but there did seem to be a big element of really wanting it for the sporting achievement.

I will be doing what I did for Chanel. Meal in a hotel early bird if I can get one for about 10 of us. have one or two drinks and then home, take Mia off to Dublin the next day to spend some of her loots!

[greywolf]

Was in Donegal (Inishowen) at weekend this is whats left of road after torrential rain on Saturday

[Strewelpeter]

In my house the only tradition I allowed for communion was that the kid who got the loots did the weekly shopping that week.

[Guest]

Can't beat a few beers in Mahons in Kildare, ordering top shelf spirits that I really can't afford!!

Where abouts is that? Road from Carn to Culdaff?

[AndyFatBastard]

Quality trolling.

Controls the army (who he took into his department and increased their numbers), the Gardai (whose numbers he reduced), he controls admission to the State through immigration, he controls law reform, wants to control both the legal profession and the judiciary and now he is keeping dossiers on political opponents.

Nothing untoward there at all

For such a clever man he seems to have a very poor understanding of constitutional law and human rights, given how he seems to ignore both as much as possible until called on it. You could be forgiven for thinking that he understands it perfectly, but is quite happy to break it in order to score political points.

Yeah it's definitely a bad sign for a place to go down the deals route, but Downstairs is still good value, which is basically what the Bib is awarded for.

Find Bay very pretentious. My only experience with it was paying something like 14 quid for a fry that didn't even include coffee.

[Guest]

Athlone? Go to the Wineport Lodge

Balls...looks lovely but booked up the day in question.

Might have missed you posting about it since, but I hope your medical tests went well the other day, or maybe you haven't had results yet.

[Pat Mustard]

Didn't know people still went to hotels & the likes after commuions/conformations. Seems pretty old school,80's talk to me to me. Everyone does this at home now with bouncy castle etc. for the kids and either get people in to do the catering or just do it yourself..

[Guest]

€270 there which is a bit ott, not mad on Asian grub unless in Asia either!...prolly just go with DG...cheers for the recommendations though.

I think they've changed the menu. The one I saw today was shorter and simpler, bo eggs benedict etc. I'd say they do a 'weekday' breakfast and a weekend brunch?

Quite annoying the way all the options have their calorie counts listed out

[Downtown]

Surely communions and conformations will soon be seen as a violation of children's rights. They seem to be getting bigger each year though. Terrible pressure to be putting on parents and children.
