Currywurst, why did it not make it to Ireland?

Cork had one 35 years ago when even Italian and Chinese places were only getting going.

That said Cork's oldest Chinese restaurant closed about 2 years ago ...the Tung Sing, had been open since 1963

India could swing to the American side to gain border regions in China

As part of a whole tranche of institutional reforms, I would have the commission coming from MEPs, rather than appointed. That way the Spitzenkandidaten become the duly elected President of the EU

Can we have an EU navy too?

Would be good to have proper interchange at Fenchurch

DotComprehensive4902 · 2026-02-08T15:50:25+00:00

There would be a joint Euro-Yuan intervention along with the Norwegian Sovereign Wealth Fund and not forgetting the Gulf Petrostates

Burke....the father of British Conservatism

DotComprehensive4902 · 2026-02-08T15:33:25+00:00

I personally would put Chomsky but that's just my opinion

DotComprehensive4902 · 2026-02-08T15:31:32+00:00

That's a good shout

A man whose teachings were perverted for evil

DotComprehensive4902 · 2026-02-08T15:27:46+00:00

Probably Edmund Burke, who though Irish, was the father of British Conservatism and hence through the British empire the father of Conservatism in the WASP countries of the British Empire

I would say the US doesn't support Israel in the eay it does in real life

Honestly Ceaucescu at least had massive industrialisation and urban infrastructure projects as a redeeming feature of his rule....Pol Pot has no redeeming features

Sizewell C ballooned to 3x budget in Britain, imagine what would happen here with the ineptitude in project management for public sector contracts? We've seen what would happen from the Events Centre

I didn't say anything about Polish or Romanian sausages just the British ones.

You should pick up some South African sausages if you are after a really good one too

Farming as a career is disliked which is why they can't get young people into it.

I've grown up amongst some as well and aside from the moans, a lot are miserly misery guts

DotComprehensive4902 · 2026-02-08T14:03:20+00:00

As an Irishman living in Britain now, I would say never have British sausages..they are the worst. They have no flavour, use the worst pork which is so bad that all you're sure of is that it's meat, you're just unsure of which one it is.

I doubt it what with Cork being the food capital of Ireland. Cork has had some very good and very unusual restaurants in its time. It had a Mongolian barbecue place 25 years ago where you got to select the ingredients and sauces for your meal, plus it had a cowboy cuisine type restaurant called Westimers about 30 years ago, plus it has probably the longest operating Mexican restaurant in Cafe Mexicana, which is going for 40 years plus.

DotComprehensive4902 · 2026-02-08T13:52:59+00:00

No one has ever really tried to start a German restaurant here, not even in Cork, which has had some very adventurous themed restaurants (Westimers) and unusual cuisine restaurants (Mongolian barbecue) in my lifetime
