I thought they’ve only rolled out one or two? Seems to be a big issue of installing a number at a time. Was nearly 30 mins getting through security the Saturday before last at around 6:30am.

I flew through Donegal airport last week. They have those machines there and they’re great. They love boasting about it saying it’s taken Dublin years to catch up with their wee little airport.
They fail to tell you though that you can’t check in online as there’s no barcode scanners in the airport. So you get your boarding pass printed and then walk 5 yards away to hand it to someone who checks it and tears it before throwing them all in a pile. It’s a lovely twee experience.

Tail end of the celtic tiger. I owned a porn shop in Dublin. Marcus ‘The Oompa Loompa’ Sweeney had an eaterie of some sort next door. Cocaine, lots of cocaine but thankfully not with him but he did pop in once or twice. Buying dvds from Holland for €2 and selling them for €120. Dudes buying a new one every three wanks. Then suddenly, the trade more than halved in a matter of weeks. People were spooked and got worried about money. I headed for Oz, as I knew the game was up.

If only we had an in-house Lech who could provide a current update …
I paid €60 for a Brass Eye boxset yet feel your porno markup was exhorbitant.
