I actually gave up most fast food when in Thailand after reading Fast Food Nation. Still haven't had a Mickey D's, Burger King, KFC, Supermacs, etc in over 19 years.
What did you think of Nha Trang? It was the only place that I felt a bit on edge in all of SE Asia. Tuk tuk drivers aggressively trying to sell you drugs and felt like they'd be straight round to the cop shop afterwards to rat you out and collect a reward.
Also the place where I had a full on drunken argument with Tim Roth as he was giving it loads that Dublin was a puppet state of the pope. He may have had a point but he was smug as fuck and I was having none of some English twat slaging us off in front of a bunch of his fan boys.
We also met an Irish chick there while out having pints, seemed sound at first but after a few beers, she got super aggro and became the drunkest person alive. We had to take her back to her hostel where she started to piss herself on the street and then had to chase off the tuk tuk driver who was trying to basically rape her as she pissed herself.
Yeah, Nha Trang was a bit odd for me.

Or assign each kid a trap number ( you will call the dogs horses) and stick to it.
Last race, back every dog so they have a winner.
Lovely night out. Kids were mad into it, after we explained the idea of gambling. Because its so quiet, you can have a table even with general admittance makes all the difference so you aren't freezing your bollix outdoors except when the dogs are running. Pretty class overall. Might even do it again some time.
The plumber also turned up and had the wrong tools to start. So a bit of a push on the evening overall."We're not f*cking Burundi" - Big Phil

Lol- in favour but not in favour of any of the actual consequences
A large majority of voters favour a united Ireland in the long term, but are opposed to a new national flag, a new national anthem, paying higher taxes or curtailing public spending to facilitate it, the latest Irish Times/Ipsos MRBI poll has found.Will you ever fuck off with that shite... you are easily one of the worst posters on here for this-Pokerhand

Some buzz on the last bus home yesterday. A couple of maskless young wans (16 tops) in the front seat trying to sing xmas songs, while knocking back a naggin of vodka. Middle aged woman in the other front seat trying to correct their mashing of the lyrics: 'It's 'feed the world', not 'feel the world'. All surprisingly good humoured though.Gone full 'Glinner' since June 2022.

She's a professional writer/attention seeker. She's married to Rand Fishkin (the smug looking dude in the photos) who is the multi-millionaire owner of Moz the SEO tool. She gave up her 'job' to 'blog' about their jet-setting lifestyle.
Zero chance she was genuinely surprised by this experience. Whatever about the shitey food and underwhelming experience she was very calculated in her approach to creating a piece of viral content that would promote herself and her pampered chums.
The meal will likely turn out to be the best of her life based on the opportunities that review will afford her and she can simply catch another plane to another Michelin starred restaurant and pish all over their triple-cooked truffle and parmesan chips for her privileged hangers on to swoon and giggle over.

didnt read the review but the all caps tweets about “SCREAMING WITH JOY” told me all I need to know
shes one of those cunts who would do a running live tweeting stream on a flight about some poor fucker doing something innocuous that doesn’t live up to her warped Twitter verse version of the worldLast edited by MysteryGuest; 11-12-21, 12:01.Will you ever fuck off with that shite... you are easily one of the worst posters on here for this-Pokerhand

Even if that review is a piece of fiction its moderately amusing / enjoyable unlike 80 % of reviews . I've been in restaurants where I've had to get some fecking fast food afterwards . FIRE for example . I know one or two of you like it there but I was left staring at my plate incredulously. FEED ME SEYMOUR.

I'm waiting until I either bump into him or he plugs a cable to his car into it. Gonna tell him to move it.
A cable running accross a path overnight is a big GTFO.
If he tells me it's not for that and it's for rare car washing or something I'm telling him it's still got to go.
Hoping he plugs the car into it tbh.I hold silver in tit for tat, and I love you for that

Covid update 128 hours after testing positive in an antigen much improvement. Aches pains gone slight nasal congestion sleep returned to normal. Depressingly sense of smell still not back had a goats cheese pizza with black pudding serrano ham seems a waste. From my experience small sample size the huge fear and trepidation hysteria that’s around us in warranted I get the same dose every couple of years and only I’ve Covid I’d not probably have missed any work.

Was grand in hindsight. Flu for me was 5x worse.
Some people are floored by it though, a guy I know through work is still in bits 8 months out.I hold silver in tit for tat, and I love you for that

I'm always amazed at this communities aversion to firearms. When everyone is armed everyone is kinda careful. I find idiots in cars more scary than people with AK47s, most people with guns give them the respect and caution they deserve.
Is the aversion not more about giving firearms out willy nilly to any aul nutjob without even the slightest hint of a background check?
I agree that most normal, rational people with guns give them the respect and caution they deserve. I see it with mates of my sister and brother in law who moved down to Cavan years ago. I've never been out on a shoot with them but have been there for several clay pigeon shooting events and safety is always paramount.
I've only ever came across people with AK47's once (outside of a shooting club/gun range) when I was in Laos. Walking down the street one night, stoned off our biscuit and there was two local lads walking towards us, also stoned as fuck, both of them with AK47's resting against their shoulder.
It was all a bit surreal.

Went to see a play in the Gate today, aimed at the kiddos admittedly, but honestly I'm not sure anyone has ever created anything worse in the history of making anything. I'd put the Armenian genocide as a more enjoyable creation. I can only guess that the person acting in it is related to someone great and good that nobody felt they could step in during rehearsals and point out how crap it was.
It made me slightly regret having, upon first sitting down in the theatre today getting carried away with the idea of going to the theatre more, and booking tickets for Endgame there towards the end of February. But surely they can't fuck up Beckett? And Frankie Fucking Boyle is going to be acting in it, the whole cast is bonkers good. Robert Sheehan, jaysus, how did they get him?!!
