Daniel Craig has just released his fifth and final instalment in the James Bond franchise, No Time To Die, which is proving to be a huge success at the UK and international box office.
Just to lighten the mood.
Apparently James Bond goes to gay bars ....
because it's a great place to pick up women!!!

Sorry to hear about your Dad, Andy. Thinking of ya here in the great white north.This may or may not be an original thought of my own.
All efforts were made to make this thought original but with the abundance of thoughts in the world the originality of this thought cannot be guaranteed.

I was wiping my eyes and my jaw hurt. An episode of Star Trek the lower decks last week got me funny show

Feeling quite slighted by DC and I being sat beneath minor presidents in the Oval Office Bar. McKinley FFS.
Although kudos to me for remembering some Ibo phrases to enjoy with my taximan as he sped me home at 120 km/hr."We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."

Seeing massive benefits from the dubious decision to get maths grinds for the 10 year old. The gentle suggested instruction to the massively overqualified grinds person was to 'Make Maths Fun Again'. With a side dish of stopping the kid always trying to take shortcuts without the requisite abilities to make reasonable calculation shortcuts.

Walk to the Poolbeg lighthouse with my 2 boys was very Dublin . Smell of the sea/liffey spew to right, smell of the water treatment plant to the left and plenty of friendly Dublin Hellos . Not a scumbag in sight . Great city and people , the minorities ruin it sometimes , allowing the culchies to rage .

Top Sunday lunch in Jack White's Inn in Brittas Bay today. A plate of bacon and cabbage with nothing fancy done to it but it tasted amazing. Three adults, two kids, all ate hearty three course lunches and had change of €70. Love those (newfound to me) roadside inns. This one had queues streaking out the door trying to get in for lunch.
They even had a sign on the wall commemorating, in quite a casual and laid back fashion, the fact that Catherine Nevin had hired a hitman to kill her husband in the bar. I wonder if they had a conversation internally of when was the right time to cash in on Catherine.
Are there any must-eat roadside inns that we should check out next?!

Bursting with dark bramble fruit, the renowned Meerlust Rubicon is widely recognised as a superb representation of top drawer South African wine.

Compare to French wines which generally go for 2.5-3× their retail price here."We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."

Barack Obama Plaza down the M7 does a lovely carvery. The best I've had in that type of place, better than Junction 14 and the Galway plaza anyway.
And while its not a roadside inn exactly, the Firgrove hotel just off the M8 outside Mitchelstown is always worth the stop for either carvery or dinner.
Also, not a diner but there is a little place near Blake's cross out past the airport called "The Chuck Wagon". Ran be 3 aul wans and they do breakfast rolls. Get a sausage, bacon and egg sambo on soda bread with a cuppa and you'll be set up for the day! Its just a trailer but there is a huge parking area.
That's all that springs to mind but would keep you fed and watered if you're heading most directions.

Good article this guy always worth reading - though he gets a bit kooky “the Druid and magic stuff”
one thing is for sure he’s way more on the ball than the Uber spoofer David Mcwilluams and the articles he picks out of his arse and somehow gets published in Irish times
we Are not going back to normal- see it in my own work- people are not prepared to put up with what they were before the pandemic and that’s probably not a good thing if you are in one of the parasite professions
It’s been just over a month since I started talking about how the predictions set out in 1972 by The Limits to Growth were coming true in our time. Since then the situation has become steadily wors…

“If you want people to put up patiently with long hours of drudgery at miserably low wages, subject to wretched conditions and humiliating policies, so that their self-proclaimed betters can enjoy lifestyles they will never be able to share, it’s a really bad idea to make them stop work and give them a good long period of solitude, in which they can think about what they want out of life and how little of it they’re getting from the role you want them to play. It’s an especially bad idea to do it so that they have no way of knowing when, or if, they will ever be allowed to return to their former lives, thus forcing them to look for other options in order to stay fed, clothed, housed, and the like. “

Last time I was there I went for lunch and I didn't find the steak particularly noteworthy. But I think what I had last night was the best I've ever had. Just so much flavour.
