Assume was a 100 pre charge on cardā¦not that unusual albeit does leave a bad taste on mouth for me alsoā¦
The mini bar is fucking extortion there

The simpleton followers demand a 3 or 4-week ābuild upā to every game, even though nobody in counties that donāt border Tipperary give a shit about it.
At check in she was asked for her card to charge it to it.
I didnāt book the place so I have no idea if itās mentioned online or anywhere or do they just hit you with it at check in. Iāve never been asked for it like that before anyway.
We would never touch a mini bar anyway so I wonāt worry too much about that.

Came across it before though not the deposit, mind you. Some places donāt take cash in the residentās bar after normal closing hours, so you just charge to the room on the card.

Iād agree with you. Itās very early. Maybe difficult in a large-ish town but would they not liaise with the other clubs and work around them for a few months?
Weāre starting an athletic development programme for u12 and upwards next week, but weāve agreed a night that doesnāt clash with soccer. Itās also not portrayed as mandatory, more as an optional extra weāre running if kids want to do it (obviously those that donāt do it will be blacklisted for life).

Youād get it fairly frequently on the continent.
Wasnāt overly impressed with the dean, Iāll be sticking with Metropole and moxy in the future
The decor is a bit quirky. She loves that kind of stuff.

Havenāt been in the moxy itās only open recent enough. Montenotte is slightly further from town but better than the dean and metropole by a mile and Iād guess better than Moxy based on what Iv seen
Yes, the montenotte is significantly better than all 3 of those 3 hotels and consequently well out of civil service subsistence rates 
Except once when I got it on a black Friday deal

Are ye able to get a corporate rate surely yesā¦montenotte has decent corp deals
Didnāt know that. Iāll have a look after my next visit. The moxy is handy way to get to gold level bonvoy as theyāre giving out 3000 points per stay as an opening bonus

Iām actually surprised at parents thinking itās a good idea for a 10 year old to do two training sessions a day. I know they arenāt hard, but in my limited experience, the majority of kids pushed hard by parents at sport end up either leaving or playing joylessly out of duty.
Half it is a middle class arms race. Itās like a didsbury dinner party.

100 for the Mickey bar would seem dear too.

I would have thought multiple training sessions over a weekend is very normal for most kids? Most lads are playing their own age group and on a weaker grade the age above them and thatās just one sport.

Not for most kids, Iād say not. Itās the parents who decide to push them in some kind of one upmanship thing. Itās a bit odd imho.
In ireland Iād say thatās very normal for most kidsā¦we were doing it back in the 80s when parents didnāt give a fuck what you were at.
