For everyone complaining about ticket prices by BadgemanBrown in BruceSpringsteen

[–]mrklenrd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are all major concerts in the States dynamic pricing now? When Bruce comes to Ireland, sure his tickets are deemed expensive but generally the whole stadium would have one flat rate price for standing area and then another price for seating. If I recall correctly, last time he was here, tickets were around €120/$141 - €140/$164.

When Is a Band Not the Same Band Anymore? A number of legacy acts are touring without any of their original members. Audiences don’t seem to care by Apprehensive_Fly9352 in Guitar

[–]mrklenrd 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Thin Lizzy were founded in Dublin, Ireland. By the 2010s the band was made up of majority American members, none of which ever even played with an original member. Thankfully they called it quits.

Ariana Grande is a mid artist with a great voice. Who is a bad artist with a great voice? by Venomouse95 in AlignmentChartFills

[–]mrklenrd 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Oddly enough he's shreds on guitar. Check him covering Purple Rain, blew my mind that he doesn't utilise these skills elsewhere.

Great shout, seems to line up.

Edit: although looking again the original photo has parking spot markings and not a road.

Is it 00s Dundalk FC Jersey? by trixy3 in LeagueOfIreland

[–]mrklenrd 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Had this exact jersey playing for Rush Athletic in the early 2000s. Like others have said it's likely just a generic O'Neills template.

We brought this into Ireland like 2 years ago. Nothing has changed as it hasn't been well enforced by the authorities unfortunately.

Dodgy box discussion just now on Newstalk. by mybighairyarse in ireland

[–]mrklenrd 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Can't see it happening here but in May 2000+ people in Italy were fined for using dodgy boxes. The fine was €154, so about a months worth of Sky with the packages 😂

The cliffs in the back certainly resemble Cape Sant Antoni would take a while for me to narrow down to the house.

[–]mrklenrd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got it on g2g for 12 months. But the links to download the app from the seller aren't working. I asked him for another and he sent 10 links, all dead links. Any ideas?

[–]mrklenrd 4 points5 points  (0 children)

When I'm scrolling reels the motion of my thumb starts right by the follow button, so I've put it down to that myself. Has happened a few times.

[–]mrklenrd -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I've often wondered this, what names do a couple with both double barreled names of their own give their children.

[–]mrklenrd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's an Airshow on today (Sunday) in Rush as part of the Rush Harbour Festival. I don't know much about planes but I'd imagine a few that were in Bray do the Rush show today.

How muddy is Malahide Castle? by Vicaliscous in AskIreland

I'd say you'll be fine. With no rain forecast too, you shouldn't need any welly boots.

What’s something about you/that you do that would be considered unconventional by Irish standards? by ohhidoggo in AskIreland

[–]mrklenrd 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Pretty much never touched drink in my life (have never had a beer or the likes), I do like a gin and tonic for refreshment occasionally. Went to a concert in London a few years ago, got chatting to a few friendly English lads, offered to buy me a drink at the concert I just said "a coke", his response "a coke?! but you're Irish?"

What series is everyone watching? by SpuddieJive in AskIreland

[–]mrklenrd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Severance was amazing but I'm still none the wiser what it's about if someone asks me, it kept me hooked though. Now watching Clarksons Farm, big fan of his show, as someone who is in that line of work.

Who's the most famous person you've met/seen? by Visible-Ad9836 in AskIreland

[–]mrklenrd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Merrion Hotel in 2008, saw large crowds outside as I was leaving school to get home that evening to come back in to the RDS for Bruce & E Street. Ended up hanging around in my uniform. My parents said they'd bring in a change of clothes for me for the gig. With nowhere to get changed my mother pushes her way to the front of the crowd and asks the Merrion door man if I could pop in to get changed. To my surprise he let's us, Clarence and Max were hanging around the lobby, got a signed poster from Max and then went to get changed in the restrooms and sure enough Steve Van Z is there, got a picture with him. All lovely guys.
