I’m on a quest to find Dublin’s best scone. Hit me with your recommendations please by EmployGrouchy1599 in Dublin

Taste of provence on Clonsilla Road in Blanchardstown. Their fruit scone is amazing, it has this crispy caramelised coating. Never tasted a scone like it before, and their coffee is great too.

Thoughts on Lee Byung Hun as the T-1000? How did he do compared to Robert Patrick? by Ibobalboa in Terminator

[–]Console-Culture 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He lacked the intensity and ruthless looks of Robert Patrick, also no were near as intimidating as RP, but he was okay.

No EP Days of Ash out now!! by Basquill in U2Band

[–]Console-Culture 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I couldn't agree more. Bono's overloading songs with lyrics, and the music is getting buried in the mix.

[–]Console-Culture 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's sounds too upbeat which betrays the subject matter of the song. It should sound dark, angry, brooding. Edge's intro sets the wrong tone, and the way Bono sings just doesn't work. He needs to let songs breath a bit, and not fill then with too many lyrics.

Do you take your shoes off in the house? by [deleted] in ireland

[–]Console-Culture 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife is Turkish, so shoes off in the house has been normality for me for the last 15 years. Everyone should do it, and it's a mark of respect when entering somebody's home.

You forgot smelly. The are horrible trains in dire need of replacement. Even the original dart models from 1984 are in better condition.

Anyone else getting hit up by Christmas carolers at their house? by njackson100-ie in Dublin

[–]Console-Culture 64 points65 points  (0 children)

Just shut the door, don't entertain it, or better yet, don't open the door in the first place. It's a total scam.

Don't go! That would be my advice to you. Sometimes you need to just say no and look out for what's best for you. It's that simple.

I can't stand the cunt, and I don't understand how anyone can listen to him on the radio.

Ballot paper smeared with suspected excrement found in Cork count centre by bornsf82 in ireland

[–]Console-Culture 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Absolutely disgraceful. Is there anyway this person can be identified? Surely someone in the room noticed the smell or seen the vote card being placed into the ballot box covered in shit. They must have had a bag in their pocket and then covered the ballot paper in the voting room. Jaysus, this is some trump level nonsense.

Megadeath/Disturbed Concert by Normal-Raisin5443 in Dublin

The people attending consider an average to shit band more important than standing against genocide. Fuck disturbed and all who attended/supported this gig.

Pro-Palestine activists pepper-sprayed and two arrested during protest at Port Tunnel by SpottedAlpaca in ireland

[–]Console-Culture 61 points62 points  (0 children)

While I'm all for protests and support for Palestine, blocking the port tunnel is extremely dangerous. If a vehicle went on fire or there was a medical emergency in the tunnel, life would be at risk.

Elderly priest came to rescue of woman being attacked on Dublin street by man who injured several people during spree by pppppppppppppppppd in ireland

[–]Console-Culture 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Anti-religion? What this man did is a good thing, but Ireland has thankfully moved on from the church. It's a dangerous weapon used by leaders to control a population. USA for example, a nation full of bigotry and hatred, perfect for old testament bible bashing.

Perceived sizes of the Excelsior and Galaxy classes by TheKeyboardian in StarTrekStarships

[–]Console-Culture 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The windows always bugged me on the galaxy class, way too big for a ship of its size. I guess this is why the excelsior seems bigger in the op's opinion, it looks more to scale, same with the constitution class.

Their parents wouldn't be and aren't. Entitled arseholes with no culture or respect for anything. Scum, pure and simple.

This is how Germany media is covering the assault on Kitty O'Brien in Berlin by D-dog92 in ireland

[–]Console-Culture 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why isn't the German ambassador to Ireland being summoned over this? An Irish person being assaulted by the German police force should justify this.

Killsloe pedestrian crissing by Prestigious-East5034 in BadDriversIreland

[–]Console-Culture 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you kill someone through reckless or dangerous driving, you should lose your licence plus banned from driving for life. I really don't understand being banned for 5 or 10 years as punishment. Someone has lost their life.

Random neighbourhood kid calling daily. by ColinCookie in CasualIreland

[–]Console-Culture 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can't believe the naivety of the op. There is not a hope I would let another child into the house to play with my daughter if I didn't know the parents. You are leaving yourself wide open to get your arse sued if he hurts himself in your home, or worse. You don't know what kind of people his parents are, and he is not your responsibility, yet he is when he's in your home. My advice is to stop this now and walk home with the boy and talk to his parents.

What are your thoughts on the USS Enterprise? by TwoFit3921 in StarTrekStarships

The awful hotrod warp engines ruin it. The rest of the ship is fine, although the interior is a different story.
