My book landed there yesterday and it was ready for me to collect at 02:45.

You do see some very odd houses when doing the auld hunting of same.

Like this place for example. All seems normal enough until you notice they turned the entire fucking back garden into a fish pond. WTF?!

Booked a table at forest avenue on Sussex Street for.the upcoming anniversary. Anyone been?

Yes. There was a mini-HHE event there a while back.

Sitting at a table right at the kitchen is good fun. Chefs quite happy to chat and explain things.

It was perhaps 8/10 overall. Not quite at Chapter One levels of expertise but some good things going on.

[Raoul Duke III]

Good synchronisation of HHE posting there.

Think we met the SLA.

[Iago]

My men.

Roasted Lloyd's Jets last night as The #1 pick Mayfield came in and outplayed the #3 pick Darnold.

1st win in 2 years! Things looking up.

Should have hopped off the saints last week too, Saints didn’t turn up until the 4th quarter but browns collapsed.

Made it great entertainment for those of us in the stadium but as we were leaving a local lad turned to us and said ‘It’s not supposed to be like this against the Browns’

Got 3 tds out of 4 in our end and we were right behind the Hail Mary pass from Taylor and gonzalezes missed kick to tie the game so can’t complain too much about the action.

Was just there last week, cool building, can watch the kitchen although my dining companion stole the seat with the view, several really excellent courses on the tasting menu (although slightly odd situation with the cutlery), staff great.

I actually like that. Much better than the optical illusions they have going on indoors.

@Denny, what was the situation with cutlery? It's not One of these places That Make you re-use your knife and Fork,. Is it?

[Denny Crane]

725? Dublin is crazy. Think I'm just gonna have to self-build in da country, and have my holidays at the fleadh.

Nah, they brought out a chef's roll, think they made a mistake which kinda added to the confusion.

Throw another 100-200k on top for the renovations. It’s hitting close to the million territory before you know it.

Talking to a client yesterday who recently bought a quite lovely townhouse in Dalkey for 990k. Top spec and A rated unlike what RD linked to. Then I realise it’s a terraced house with 2 bedrooms at the end of the day. Crazy times all over again...

Nice. What's the MB Dome like? Always thought of it as a shit hole but maybe Hurricane Katrina events influenced.

Not the best game to be at for action but there was some great drama at the end.

Is that house much bigger than what you currently have? I think this house hunting thing is going to be pretty painful...

things starting to finally move on operation BirdCage
Looks like we'll have a start pack of a around €250k from FIL house
I'm currently limiting budget to €425k all in but fear MrsDP might make an addendum or two.
i do kinda like this though

Tell me about it.

Although if we buy that one, you can come over for a HHE fishing party.

As the cliche has it, it's all about location*3.

We could take our equity and buy this.

Followed up with several racehorses, a couple of new cars, multiple holidays and topping up the kids college funds.

I hadn't actually looked inside. Just went, 'ah there's a stupidly large house that's ridiculously cheap by Dublin standards'.

Looks like you would have to spend a fortune to get it habitable. Probably have to get it exorcised too.

Slightly suspicious of the fact there are no interior photos. I smell eviction.

I have a weird aversion to housing estates or cookie cutter builds.
I know saying that I'm BBV'ing myself to live in one but a man can dream.

It's been a while since I was there but it's a solid option. Very good food and service, don't think you'll come away disappointed.

buy it, do not change a thing.
Purchase olive trousers and mustard jacket and vice versa.
Wear them constantly.

might get a few quid off so.
I imagine it hasn't been renovated since the 60's and smells of a million old sunday dinners

The other thing to bear in mind (imo) is that Dublin's congestion problems will only get worse before they get better. If indeed they do ever get better.

With that in mind, I'd rather be closer in to the city with more transport options. Schools\college accessibility also something to think about.

...Just heard Teresa Mays latest speech...She's really planted her 2 feet down, and doesn't seem to be budging on it...Kinda laid down an ultimatum to the EU, and not sure who will or can blink first...

Long, but good article/interview about the making of Rounders, which is 20 years old now.

Even if the EU caved and agreed to everything she wants, which it obviously won't, she wouldn't get her own party to agree to it anyhow.

I generally get the text and email about it being ready for collection about 9pm the day of notification of it being in nordie land.

She has an impossible job. Literally cannot make any good come of the situation so her job should be to cut the least worst deal - except her own party won't let her do that.

What size is that yard to rear, serious potential with that for that price, you dont need to look inside to realize it needs renovation as the BER is E2!

A man who needed to work from home could have a sweet office out the back and then into office in the city for a day or 2 a week.

I can’t see her surviving much longer. The EU has been clear all along and certainly since December. She’s wasted the last 9 months by not preparing the groundwork for a cave in so now she’s being “defiant” to try and survive her next party conference. I think there’ll be a heave shortly as she’s completely boxed herself in. Otherwise it’s an election and the conservatives certainly don’t want that right now.

She’s basically hung her hat on saying Chequers is the best option she has to pass something through parliament and thought that the EU would say well that’s acceptable so. Instead the EU said we don’t give a fuck and the UKs pain will be more severe than the aggregate pain across the EU.

In reality the EU had said all along its EEA membership or a Northern Ireland carve out and the rest fuck off or else no deal and good luck. A certain section of the Tory party just haven’t been listening.

It's already happened, just the markets catching up

I transfer €50 to Stuntman in March 16, cost £41.65, that same €50 cost me £45.45 in March 17

Human nature though innit, few will appreciate or truly notice the benefit, but the few with a slightly diminished service will be vocal and be the roadblock. Yeah it's better for most people but what about my 41 Joe.

Might help explain why health service is one of the most expensive in world and delivers one of least value for money. Wonder how many billions are being lost there for simple lack of common sense.
