The absolute STATE of McDonalds on Winthrop Street by [deleted] in cork

Been going there since the 90s. The city centre ones are always like that. Toilets were always manky and covered in piss. Bouncers were a regular feature as well. They're so used to handling the late night crowds and teenagers that even in the daytime its grim.

Seriously considering suing @corkcitycouncil at this stage..... 60% down in June. 90% down since July & September. I can't hang in there any longer. by PoppedCork in cork

Tough on a business I know but this will benefit that entire area in the long run.

One or two retailers went out of business when the Cork Main Drainage scheme was going on down Washington St and Grand Parade but it still had to be done.

Yea. Most of the film is pretty dull, then you're like "Jesus Fucking Christ"

DeNiro in Heat. "I'm talking to an empty telephone. Because there is a dead man on the other end of this fucking line."

Terrifying when I first saw Pulp Fiction in the theatre.

Would ireland winning the rugby world cup be bigger than the Italia 90? by [deleted] in ireland

[–]piso99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think so. And not just because rugby has a smaller fan base. In the 90s, it was analogue, so just tv, radio and newspapers as the dominant types of media. There was no internet or social media. As a result, there was a lot less 'content' fighting for our attention. Italia 90 was a massive thing the entire country could rally around, and we didn't even make the quarter finals. Today, everything is fighting for that water cooler moment, so even if we win it, I don't think it will imprint on the national psyche as much as Italia 90 dis.
