It's great that the recession is over and thing are improving but this is coming at a cost for me. In the last year, the following places have all been closed in Dublin
The Joinery
CFCP
Broadstone Studio
Exchange Dublin
Mabos
All were closed as the premises were being sold, knocked down, redeveloped because there is now money in doing so and it's a big loss if you ask me.

2015:
Tucked away in the shadow of the Wicklow mountains, miles from the bustle of Dublin's city life, a group of Dublin's upwardly mobile residents are living up to their tag.
If you are lucky enough to land a site, that is. Even money doesn't always guarantee access.
You have to be assessed, told which mobile homes you can purchase and if you're very lucky, you may even be accepted into the local social hierarchy.Solicitor Noel Smyth is a long-time resident while other high-profile names who have enjoyed their summers here over the years include C&C managing director Maurice Pratt, Samir Haji of Horizon Technology, publican Tom Mangan of Doheny & Nesbitt's, Ronan O'Keeffe of Trinity Biotech and members of the Fitzpatrick family of Killiney Castle Hotel.
Gerald Kean lives in Drayton Manor in a nearby valley and can often be seen popping in and out of Bay Cafe, while Ivor Fitzpatrick - Charlie Haughey's former solicitor - has been known to drop in on his helicopter from Castle Howard for a barbecue.
AS YOU sit outside McDaniel's pub in Brittas Bay on a sunny August morning, the 03 Jeeps, Mercedes cars and BMWs proceed in a stately fashion along the country lanes getting in the way of the odd farmer droning along in his tractor to mow the hay.
Even then money doesn't always talk - you have to be vetted, told which mobile home to purchase and if you're very lucky and you have the right credentials you may also be accepted into the stratified social hierarchy that goes with top-of-the-range mobile home life.Between Ballinacarrig and Jack's Hole you can get to hob-knob with the likes of C&C managing director Maurice Pratt, Samir Haji of Horizon Technology, publican Tom Mangan of Doheny & Nesbitt's, solicitor Noel Smith, Ronan O'Keeffe of Trinity Biotech and members of the Fitzpatricks family of Killiney Castle Hotel, who own the Jack's Hole site.
If you are really A-list, Ivor Fitzpatrick, Charlie Haughey's solicitor, might even drop in in his helicopter from Castle Howard for a barbecue, as he's been known to do.

I've posted photos of Connemara here before but I honestly believe it's one of the most picturesque places in the world

Speaking of cartoons I have great things about 'Rick and Morty'. It is a completely off the wall warped take on Doc Brown/Marty McFly dynamic. I have only seen the first episode but it seems bonkerously brilliant.
Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.

I'm probably one of the few on here who didn't buy into the UFC hype the other night- I'm well aware of who Conor McGregor is, but MMA is far down the list of the sports I tend to watch. But I just watched the event back on 3e there, and I have to admit to being completely blown away by the whole occasion. I think I get it now- that shit was truly awesome! Time to jump on the bandwagon now, if it will still have me.

Originally posted by AndyFatBastard View PostI'll give it 9/10 also. One point docked for not grating the cheese.
My problem would be that cheese goes on top so as to allow the juices to get into the bottom bun and not loose any tasty flavour. I would even go so far as putting the cheese on top of the egg.
On a more preference side I would say the burger is a touch over cooked and could do with a bit more pink.
Used to make burgers all the time but must start into it again. It has been a while

Broadcast charges perhaps? Line rental? Paul will always have support for the suggestion that other people should pay for your stuff. Always!

What do we think of the rape during sleep sentence? Difficult to comment without knowing the full details.
In the email he admitted that he had raped her, saying “I guess it must be under ten times”.
He also explained his behaviour, saying “it is really difficult. I did it for short term gratification. I convinced myself it was a victimless crime because you were asleep”.
He continued: “I didn't want to hurt you, I just wanted to come. I used the fact I wasn't allowed watch porn or masturbate as an excuse.
“Now I've written this, you can have me prosecuted. I hope you won't”.Happiness is not a goal; it is a by-product. ~Eleanor Roosevelt
