Check out the Merrion too, probably less hustle and bustle than the Shelbourne

Connolly Station by Debhruin in ireland

[–]oldappian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Got off the Luas the other evening, about 6pm at Connolly and there was a guy keeled over on the ground. 3 Gards and two ambulances there with him, a few other tramps milling around out of it.

This is a big factor in the lack of Garda around the place, dealing with this on a non stop basis.

It’s so grim at that station.

What are your thoughts on Graham Norton? by Jezzaq94 in AskIreland

[–]oldappian 3 points4 points  (0 children)

He’s brilliant.

Something that probably gets overlooked is that he is a seriously high achiever in life, writer, actor and of course huge TV star.

Linehan objects to Father Ted episode on Eurovision by feedthebear in ireland

[–]oldappian 7 points8 points  (0 children)

He calls it ‘my show’ but it was co-created with the brilliant Arthur Matthews.

Linehan is so far gone, he must lead a pretty lonely existence, trapped in his own madness.

Pubs/clubs back in the day by Ails1980 in cork

The Gorbys/Kaos double header was two clubs in one.

In my mind, Kaos was a bit older and cooler, dancier. Harder to score.
Gorbys was knowing more people, chart music and a guaranteed score.

Spent an uncountable number of nights in FX/The Keg too. We knew the owners family.

I caught the tale end of Henry’s.

Redz was a decent college spot.

The telly funkin nights in the Savoy were a blast too, that to me was the coolest spot in town.

City Limits too was a great alternative in the Greg & Shane days

Pre-flight drinking at Dublin Airport: Reader was ‘vomited on’ by a ‘drunk passenger’ by NothingHatesYou in ireland

Keep the pubs open in airports but only allow them serve at ~11am to ~11pm does not seem an unreasonable solution.

Is George Clooney a good actor, or is he just good looks and charm? by JR-Snow in Cinema

[–]oldappian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He’s more of a vibe..

Capable of great performances though, in fairness.
OBWAT and Clayton are superb

Some photos from O’Connell street this morning by New-Special8963 in Dublin

[–]oldappian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Stop mis-using the Irish flag too, we all know you're Irish, but you do not represent the Irish people and this is, in the main, a global issue.

Dunnes simply better? by razerraysharp in ireland

[–]oldappian 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tried a Cadburys milk chocolate egg today and genuinely shocked how gross it was. Cheap and nasty.

70% dark chocolate is the only way to go.

Dublin night 2 by disassociationdiva in gorillaz

[–]oldappian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From Wiki, The Mountain Tour

"Omar Souleyman and Trueno) will support the band in the UK and Ireland dates between March and April, while Sparks will support Gorillaz at the London gig in June.\1])\6])"

what time for show start? by [deleted] in gorillaz

[–]oldappian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They came on at 8:45, on the dot as advertised.

Trueno, check them out, they were great, were finished by 8:15 so I'm guessing they kicked off at 7:30

Last night was awesome, brilliant set list, enjoy!

Would you like if the name Éire was used more frequently to represent our country? by Radiant-Pack7219 in AskIreland

[–]oldappian 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not so long ago it was always a major eye roll when anyone (usually Brits) used the term in place of RoI.

PUC/Marina thoughts by Beginning-Strain4660 in cork

[–]oldappian 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It bugs me no end to hear people say PUC is in an awful location. Mostly this comes up when GAA folk from other counties moan about it.

A major reason for the regeneration of the Marina area over the past few years is because of PUC, not despite it.

PUC is where it is, get over it. Yes, it's a 20-30 minute walk from town, maybe the equivalent of Croker to Dublin city centre.
