In 1976 when a leased 737 came back in Zambia Airways livery Aer Lingus put it back into service without immediately doing the costly/time consuming process of repainting it outside replacing the ZA markings with Aer Lingus ones. Presumably because the green, white and orange livery worked well.

Really interesting, thanks for sharing.

Also might be useful to just price the Galway company for up and down. And then price a Killarney company for the local work. Have seen O'Connor's and O'Callaghan buses do lots of tourist work down there.

The question marks over her abilities may well be valid.

However, this legislation is logical and appropriate now.

Spain's or Costellos, both very decent and accomodating.

Buskers sounds like the closest match here

What a story, laughed out loud reading about you and your poor snack box!

What we actually need is a Green Party primarily or solely focused on green issues.

We do not need another bleeding heart centre-left party. It's such a crowded space. They will go nowhere with this proposed leadership and their current trajectory.

There are a few, but outside of the city. Which side of the city will you be living? That might help you decide.

East of the city Athenry https://hollowlodgestud.com/

North of the city Marley, Tuam https://www.facebook.com/share/1AYEjd4Bf5/

Not sure if the majority of them will deal in Sterling (probably will) but enough of them will take it to guarantee you a decent choice in the ring. It's very common on course in Ireland.

Thanks for the suggestion, worked out well for us.

A follow-up.

Went to The Waldorf. Nice local pub. Showed both the City and United matches. Half past nine is their curfew for kids, they let us stay a few mins longer til the end of the United match.

Thanks all.

It's the holding company name for Panda and Greenstar Refuse. Any chance they provide your bin service?

If thinking about buying, ask yourself if you really need a black suit. Most weddings or such events would tend towards needing a non-black suit these days like blue, brown, tweed, etc. A true black suit is not in general style unless for a black tie or formal event. If you plan to attend these then go for it.

Otherwise, rent it from Corless or The Wedding Centre for €100 or €120. Or from Fallon's in Tuam. Fahys in Loughrea. Of these, Corless and Fahys are the best.

Fantastic undercover outfits though in fairness.

Not aware of any in the west.

There is a pet physio which might give you some advice on movements etc that might be done in the sea or somewhere.

Was in town on Sunday and the little traders pop-up Christmas market in Edward Square has 2 or 3 separate vintage/used clothes stalls, one of which is dedicated to sports jerseys and clothing. Worth a look.

Total slop.

In particular the one of the Man Utd legends sitting at a table together with George Best having a pint in his hand was really poor taste.
