    Booked ourselves to go to France in July but did something smarter than usual: booked the Dublin-Cherbourg route. A 10 minute drive to the ferry should take some stress out of the experience.

    Oh, and 2 cabins. One for kids and one for adults. Winning.

            A lot of the same touristy crowd that go to Johnnie Fox's go to The Merry Ploughboy https://www.mpbpub.com/index.html The menu doesn't look as good, and I doubt they'll be back to normal service that soon.
            Gone full 'Glinner' since June 2022.

                Same here for slightly different reasons.
                Starting to look closer at fair deal situation.
                It's a pricey business

                  Its astonishing for a country like ours that Johnny Foxes is the answer to that question.

                    was up there for lunch when in Dublin in november. I was very sad to see that the par 3 golf course opposite was no longer there, as it was such a lovely spot on a nice day.

Perhaps now he'll stfu about FF .

                            In a somewhat similar situation. We've done FF for years now and my best mate has won it probably 8 out 10 times. He spends a redonk amount of time on it every week, insane amount of time, whereas I usually have missed at least 4 transfer deadlines by Christmas and then just give up.

                            However, this year, I'm paying a bit of attention, nothing major - I wouldn't spend any more than two hours a week on it - just real basic analysis and it's paying off. I'm top of the league and it is KILLING my mate. Last week, he captioned Ronaldo and I went with Bruno . This week he went with Dennis

                            I have so say, the pleasure I'm getting from winding him up>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>> than the pleasure I'm getting from being top of the table for so long.


                            Conversation from last night

                            Me (already knowing the answer) : What happens if your captain gets sent off in a double game week?

                            Him : Minus 1 point and misses next game

                            Me : How much of a cunt does it make me if I'm sitting here drinking wine, chuckling away to myself at this

                            Him : I can't see how you can be any more of a cunt than your usual default cunt status. Cunt.

                                Another liverpool fan i know thinks Carragher is a traitor as he is buddies with Neville .

                                Whilst wimmin are the fairer sex i must say men makes me laugh more due to the big child in us lurking just under the skin.. i myself lost the rag verbally over boy bands discussion one night years ago . Cringey looking back but im sure i took the bait to the amusement of others that night lesson learned .

                                  Omicron great for countries with huge % of vaccinations - not nearly a good option for plenty of other countries unfortunately.

                                      If their populations would rather live with restrictions instead of getting vaccinated, theres no helping them.

                                      Assume you're talking about well developed countries, not 3rd world, poor ones.

                                          We will all have great lockdown stories that dont seem quite so funny yet but now .....like going into an empty pub for a meal asked did you book ? There is nobody here. Sorry you have to book , dodgy home haircuts etc etc . There will be books written about it.

                                              Interesting conversation and summary of recent events around the lab leak 'theory'. It is scary to think how easy it is to create a conspiracy theory narrative and have people fall in line.

                                                I see the Cryptobros/NFTsquad that bought the Dune thing for 3 million (guide price 40k) got shafted.

                                                Happy to have it explained to me why this was thought to be a goer at all.

                                                  This actually happened in a restaurant in Killarney. 2 tables occupied. I said we dont have a booking but just wanted mains as we were in a slight rush. Lad says bookings only, told him we had covid passes and all, doesnt matter bookings only says he. Asked could I sit outside on 1 of the 4 empty tables. Nope, cos we haven't booked.

There's gonna be some limitations to it but fuck it, with good coffee and good technique you should get value from it.

                                                                                  All will vary depending on the bean. Then the tamp has to be spot on. Then frothing milk is a whole different set of rules.

                                                                                  Good fun figuring it out, and very rewarding when you get it right.

The American dream over before it started and facing a prison sentence instead all because he didnt want to wear a mask for a little while. Some lads haven't a brain.

                                                                                                            Enjoying learning about it. With the machine I bought you've got to waste a bit of coffee first to get the settings right, and do so again if you introduce new beans. The dose level, the grind setting, the heat.

                                                                                                            All will vary depending on the bean. Then the tamp has to be spot on. Then frothing milk is a whole different set of rules.

                                                                                                            Good fun figuring it out, and very rewarding when you get it right.

                                                                                                            Am getting some top class coffee from it. Would recommend the splash out.

                                                                                                            You do go through coffee a lot quicker with bean to cup than ground though I have found.
                                                                                                            Any beans you particularly like to recommend? Ponaire has been my favorite to order from and in particular, enjoyed the Mexican Jaguar. I spent a fair chunk on a decent machine and good grinder a while back. I do enjoy the whole ritual but it can be very frustrating at times trying to dial in a new bag and then I find the beans change quite quickly so if a bag sits for too long the extraction can be completely different and I have to go fiddling with it again. The spectrum of things you can change which affects it all can make it very tricky. The extent to which the freshness of the bean affects the whole process is incredible.

Ponaire has been my favorite to order from and in particular, enjoyed the Mexican Jaguar. I spent a fair chunk on a decent machine and good grinder a while back. I do enjoy the whole ritual but it can be very frustrating at times trying to dial in a new bag and then I find the beans change quite quickly so if a bag sits for too long the extraction can be completely different and I have to go fiddling with it again. The spectrum of things you can change which affects it all can make it very tricky. The extent to which the freshness of the bean affects the whole process is incredible.
                                                                                                                  Yeah man, I think though that the elusiveness of it is what makes it enjoyable, the variables.

                                                                                                                  I've yet to really delve into bean varieties tbh, my favourite at the moment is Illy's med roast, although I preferred their dark roast ground. Haven't tried that yet in whole as I'm compromising a little with the missus.

                                                                                                                  Have just tried a couple of different small indie roasters' offerings, but I think I'm a little bit away from recommending any. Really just at the stage of getting some basics right.

                                                                                                                  The variables really are mad tbh, new found respect for coffee.

I've been powering through coffee all year but am just buying ground bags from the supermarket. Got some Bewleys notions pre ground this week which I've found pretty decent tbh.

                                                                                                                          If you have a decent machine you really need to grind your own. I know how incredibly pretentious that sounds but once you start doing it and getting into the whole thing you see the difference is massive, The grind settings for each bean are completely different to pour the same quality of Espresso from each bean. Espresso grinders are tricky because they are machines to really only do one thing and that is to grind fine enough for Espresso. Cheap grinders simply won't produce anything like the fineness or consistency needed for Espresso. I did quite a bit of research before buying and this is generally considered the best in the price range but it is still a fairly eye-watering £500. Jame Hoffman on youtube is your guide for all things coffee but when people start asking about making good Espresso at home then I think the advice should be similar to Poker back in the day. Turn back now before it is too late . . . . .
