    Would be amazing if independent bakers were incentivised to set up shop everywhere.

    There's a Polish one in Rathcoole that's supposed to be real good. Those Poles make amazing donuts, Polie Donies as my missus calls them.

      Incredible business, just delivering consistent quality and you have to admire their reluctance to cash in by trying to scale above the level at which they can maintain the quality.

      Amazing how having them and places like Mezze across the road and the bit of pedestrianisation has changed the whole vibe of the town and upgraded all the places around them... hard to explain but like Cahills was always a great little shop but now it suddenly feels a bit hipster!
      Cruffin is about 2nd or 3rd in the ranking for me. The salted caramel square is unmatched for me.

      Yeah they have one in town and another in Dunmore East plus it appears on a few lunch menus around. Incredible business all built from a small market stall.

      Mezze is probably my go to for lunch and like you said the pedestrianised area has been a big win. The Vee which is there far longer has got better too.

      I just think of Cahills as the teacher shop. It’ll be mobbed this week before schools are back.

      I’m back home very frequently so if you ever want Seagull brought up let me know.

        I'm up and down a good bit myself, I thought you were from here and living down there, did you go grow up down there?

              I’m living down here around 5 years, I was in college down here too and my wife is from the area so pretty connected for a while.

              Family are still in The Curragh, I grew up there and also lived for some time outside Kildare. I go home quite a bit.

                  Jesus wouldn't you love to get a glimpse behind the scenes at the FBI/DOJ.

                  This latest stuff about the foreign assets getting killed and captured is mind blowing.

                          CIA sent a wire informing of an unusual amount of foreign assets getting captured, killed or going missing.

                          Counterintelligence officials said in a top secret cable to all stations and bases around the world that too many of the people it recruits from other countries to spy for the U.S. are being lost.

                            Seems like a reach, although a confirmed link would surely sink the fucker.

                              I feel like I should get a cut for the amount I advertise his podcast on here but sounds like you would really enjoy this one. He said one of the hardest things about leaving the CIA was the loss of access to information that came with his security clearance.

                                Cheers. That looks great.

                                Not sure if you caught the post but Murdrum recommended a fantastic pod in a similar vein, Foreign Policy's 'I-spy'.

                                30 min interviews with ex CIA agents, fascinating stuff.

                                  I'm not sure how reachy it is.

                                  One thing I'm grappling with though, which I don't really see mentioned.

                                  Surely he'd have to know he would be caught. Could Kompromat be strong enough, Epstein stuff maybe?

                                    brianmc I work a lot with Grainne from Studio Red. Was at her house last week, she can literally jump her back wall into the Phoenix Park. We were chatting about running and I told her where I run.

                                    'Oh I did a project there'

                                    Turned out it was you.

                                      My friend from France is over next week. First time in Ireland, and never really saw the point of visiting here before. I'm trying to book dinner. I was thinking - maybe somewhere like Howth is the place to go. Because of the setting combined with the food? Is it still The Oarhouse that is best in Howth, or Aqua?

                                              Earliest reservation is at 8:45pm. Thats a laz-special level of dining. Booked a place called Mulberry Garden in Donnybrook, which is hopefully grand.

                                                      I've never been to Mulberry Garden but I'd snap up the 8:45pm spot in Mamo. It's a great spot.

                                                          8:45pm perfect time for dining out. Especially if grabbing a drink prior.
                                                          It’s just past 8 here atm. Might start cooking in a bit. Will probably have a drink first

                                                            It follows american actors Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds buying the football club.

                                                                          But he clearly still has that pull left under pressure too. Same as opening tee at Portrush. And final hole on the Sat.

                                                                          its in there.

Senior participants are usually pissed off and tired by the time they get to compete. Those, arguably the most talented, are usually on close to last in the evening.
                                                                                                  Something with an air of professionalism might be a better spectator sport I think

I started reading it last week (free on Kindle Unlimited as I mentioned before) and it's really cool. Couldn't resist watching the first episode of the show after which seems like it will be a bit of fun too. Comics/graphic novels work so well on a tablet with that comixology app, zooming in and out of panels is really nice.

                                                                                                          We should be leaving manned space flight to the likes of Musk and Bill Cullen and with any luck they will find out why it costs NASA so much more to send people up rather than bots.

                                                                                                                  I do agree with the last line. I wouldn’t expect anyone who doesn’t train to be able to follow the sport, let alone enjoy it.
                                                                                                                  Would be like watching poker or chess with no context of the rankings, moves or how any pat if the game works.

                                                                                                                  But the martial arts that consist full contact sparring and competition. Thinking they are useless is meathead 101 stuff.

As in, there are multiple grades of black belt, i.e you could be ‘7th black belt’ or something like that.

                                                                                                                        Whereas the general connotation (and my long held belief) is that black belt = master?

It'll be very interesting to see how their offensive goes, in scale and tactics, and then how the RuSSians respond.
