Liking this approach to winning arguments!

Especially given it was the only way this particular argument could be ‘won’

[Lazare]

Wtf is going on with doughnuts?

[The Aul Switcharoo]

Is that a regular thing? Sounds like an awful Idea. You'll be watching the fight in 3D is my guess!

Giving an open bar to a crowd of Irish isn't bright. Giving an open bar to a crowd of McGregor fans is downright stupidity

It's not like they'll all start drinking at 10pm either.

Wouldn't fancy working at it!

I don't know. Just saw a sponsored ad pop up on my Facebook. I've no affiliation to the club and don't know where it's even located. Won't be watching it myself as I've a match at 11am Sunday morning

What particular aspect of them are you curious about? The weird way they've become so popular here, years after Dunkin' gave up?

[Lazare]

Yeah, this. This massive craziness that's passed me by.

Saw footage on Twitter of about 100 cars queuing for them at 2am in a 24 hour place in Blanch. Wtf?

[DeadParrot]

I wonder what the thinking is?
Are they expecting people to arrive later and nurse pints?
It'll be fucking carnage unless it's very clear what a free bar entails
plastics bottles and glasses are the order of the day

[DeadParrot]

I think you have missed the entire phenomenon. I believe we are already past the apex as a few places have gone under

Having worked the McGregor boxing event full of Irish people, people dont drink as much as you'd think, or they claim they will, especially at that time of the morning

For every person hammering it you will have a good few going easy

However, they are around the corner from a straight blast gym, which makes the potential clientele interesting

[Denny Crane]

Yeah, I thought it was over. This new thing is bizarre. I've never actually bought a non-supermarket donut in my life. I have had gin though. And the occasional burrito under protest.

[Guest]

Dont really do sweet stuff but I would have thought the donut thing made a lot more sense than the cupcake thing

[dobby]

That whole Blanch thing is a bit mental. Have to figure it'll die down when the novelty wears off. Hearing local residents on the radio not happy with all the noise and cunts beeping horns at 2am while in the Q.

[Denny Crane]

There was a queue of 300 people when it opened its doors at 7am on its first day of operation.

You'd really wonder about the first person that started queuing.

[Keane]

'Sheep queuing up to be sheared' someone aptly called it on twitter.

Cupcakes are much nicer than doughnuts imo.

[Tar.Aldarion]

The sad thing is that in Ireland the donuts are not even that good, most are bad. Now go to Doughnut Time in London (admittedly a doughnut there is £4.50) and they are amazing.

[Guest]

Was more along lines of what you can do with them and the price charged for what you are getting, but as I said, don't really eat sweet so don't know

[Denny Crane]

Not as photogenic though. Think that's the real driver

[NewApproach]

I heard Shaquille O’Neal was attending the opening of the Krispy Kreme in Blanch - perhaps that explains the fuss? Not sure if he was actually there or not ultimately.

[Theresa]

...Anywhere in Hanoi that is showing it, I think about 17:00 on the Sunday 😂...

Loads of places showing it!

7Fridays Westlake Hostel
Chopsticks Restaurant
Puku (Cool bar with decent food)

This is correct.

No longer 24 hours

[MrsFlushdraw]

Tony and I went to Krispy Kreme while we were in Glasgow in July. It was nice, but nothing special and not worth queueing for. I remember when they were opening the store, all the posts from family and friends... you would think it was free cocaine they were handing out.

The Donut Factory here have nicer donuts imo.

[Ed]

Doughnuts were last year's pulled pork.

I like an ol Krispy Kreme but would never go out of my way to get one.

Taste like what I remember dunkin donuts on Grafton st tasted like

[Ed]

Found them by accident while wandering around near notting hill the last time I was in London. Not worth the price they charge but would buy again (and probably will this weekend)

You'd like to think Theresa May has downed a bottle of gin before this, but she's probably as sober as Trump

Spurs game has turned into a decent match. Messi misses two great chances to make it 4-0. Spurs get it to 2-1 and currently 3-2. Said it before but this coverage by Virgin is class showing every game.

Movie Review Time.

Anyone who wants to watch something special should have a look at Eight Grade as soon as.

One of the best of this type of film i've ever seen. If the Lead Actress in this doesn't win an Oscar and numerous other awards, there fixed .

If you happen to have a 12-14 yo daughter it might make difficult viewing at times .

As real a film about a current child in this age group as you'll ever see, with what seems very realistic dependence on Social Media etc.

10/10

[Solksjaer!]

Was in Rennes! But this is their Parisien branch (same game). Would have to book it in advance. Brilliant way to spend money. Just ask them to put the English language version of the game on as they can play it in 20 languages.

Thanks Hitcheyboy

He is a horrible creature but imo he was badly needed to level things off a bit in every sense.

Went to Dishoom in Covent Garden for first time last night. Can see why there are 45 minute queues to get in, the spicy lamb chops and the Daal were both unreal, with a "chai cider" to wash them down.

Hmm, staying up the road from the Shoreditch one this weekend. Smokestak is right around the corner though.....

[Strewelpeter]

165 was the top lot of the day at €2,000,000 and 166 was the 2nd top lot of the day at €850,000

Very strong trade there a lad could do some damage if he had cash.
are you selling anything this week?

Good days work for GAB's Sunday Racing project selling on a lovely Camelot filly bought in November for 14K for 65K and IMO good value at that.

Well I don't claim to know anything about arse cancer but as long as Trump dosn't do anything that leads to a world war it can hopefully be repaired. It'll make people more tolerant I think and that is a good thing. Too much instant impact expectation nowadays, world got a bit too pc as well.

You just have to look at the Brexit reaction to see how things have gone. The anti-Brexit crowd acted like spoiled children in the wake of it. They couldn't hold their shit together and have a bit of common decency. The result of this is that many idiots who voted to leave are even more delighted they did now because of the childish reaction from the pro-Europe side.
