Depending on what you're looking for, consider big fan - finest of Asian style tapas. Or even grano in stoneybatter for amazing pasta. Theres really so many options for food. Dublin must be one of the best cities in Europe for food at the moment between fine dining and more casual stuff

Notable mention to takara near Jervis luas for some of the best priced ramen around, not sure what happened in last couple of months but there's a consistent queue outside it for 7 days a week now, preferred when it was less known.airport, lol

Ramen props too to Ninja Sushi on Lombard St."We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."

Best ramen is here up off camden https://www.nomoramen.ie/
Capel street is amazing for food, am always there since it is so close. Aobaba pho is top notch.
Small bit of sushi I ordered from takara:

Send a few tanks to LA ..
Even the BBV is immune to the countless shootings in the US. The solution is obvious but impossible. Shitshow of a self serving political landscape.
meanwhile in Ireland there are zombies biting off fingersxand attacking hospital patients . Inagine if Joe Soap had a gun in Ireland. Dodge City.

So it goes.

Hilan is a strong personal favourite, and my new teacher who is giving me one-on-one Chinese classes in advance of my July Beijing visit, was saying all the Chinese teachers rate it very highly, but it hasn't quite got the flavours right on a few recent visits. I wonder if they can't get the staff."We're not f*cking Burundi" - Big Phil

Same, but heard it's very good. Went to Eric Matthews (formerly of Chapter One) popup restaurant in Mamo in Howth on Friday. Was very good....a bit pricey but seemingly he's a big noise on Instagram so probably cashing in on that.
I was at the one he did in Orwell Road last Sept. and it was very good.
During lockdown, he did a huge number of recipes on Instgram and gained a huge following.
He is meant to be opening his own place this year and I for one am looking forward to it.

Will spend every weekend of my late fifties doing the same.
Wouldn't swap what I have.
Mind the buses.
I am early 50s and getting used to that change. 2 kids 18 and 22. It's a fucking pain in the hole it doesn't come with the body that thought about this freedom

OR, take the kids with you and go into town (kids LOVE public transport) and introduce them to some flavours on a Saturday afternoon."We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."

Between Christmas, in-laws, work and my Dad, I've slipped up on this one - Will get something in the calendar for Feb.

I see Revolut are moving to give customers Irish IBAN accounts.
I'm sure this will gall Mr.Hitch as arent IBANs meant to work internationally anyway??
They are selling it as a positive to collect your wages and to set up direct debits.
Surely this will bring revolut accounts under scrutiny of people who were using it for nixers and cash jobs.

Seeing as you are all talking about Revolut, couple of dumb questions:- I have my Revolut account set up and two of my kids have cards. Is it possible to set up Mrs D3 as a second parent account so she can transfer them $$$, see what they are spending where? can't see how\where to do this.
- For Google Pay, my AIB cards have just stopped working. (the card comes up to auto-complete with the CCV same as usual but when you enter it, the form fails to complete. Manually typing in the details works.) Anyone else got same? All other cards work fine.

Just checked the oil tank for the last time ever (annoyingly just about 3in left in it so will need a top-up to tide us over until the retrofit is done). Our windows and doors have arrived at Mr Retrofit so good to go as soon as the ****king ESB do their bit which I've now been waiting 18 weeks on."We are not Europeans.

I was farting around in Chrome but the Google wallet app seemed to do the trick and I got a success message from AIB."We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."

B) Ivy League graduated

D) Be willing to wear a plastic horses head while dining
