yeah its a strange set up. With their welcome desk and “courtesy” staff. The BOI in DCU is some set up though, and similar one was planned in Grand Canal Dock, I assume it’s completed by now. Massive touchscreens where you can get information and stuff now, and they even have xbox Kinect capabilities, although because the staff could barely use the touch screen, I doubt the kinect is being used at all, just gimmicky shit. touchpads and instead of office areas they have diner style booths
Christ, I didn’t think it was possible to detest you more but Ill make room in my black heart for it. What a vile person you are, profiting on other peoples misfortune
thanks TSG, that means a lot coming from you.

The GCD one is the designated tech hub branch because we all know there’s incredible tech start ups along with established tech companies doing amazing things in the GCD area.

It has amazing displays of high tech equipment in the window.
These things. On the Howth Road at 7.15 this morning. Pitch dark and there is a lady cycling on the road with one of these things attached to the back of her bike with a small child in it. Excuse for a light on the top of it. All it would take is the merest hint of a swerve from any driver and that’d be the end of the child.
I’m all for cyclists endangering their own existence but the poor child doesn’t deserve this hazard.

They’re everywhere in Europe. When will backward Oireland get its act together and make the roads safe for cyclists?
They should probably make them safe for motorised vehicles first and then worry about cyclists.

What? Do cars get knocked down in cycle lanes in Dublin? Are you drunk again?
Where did I mention cycle lanes?
Where did I mention motorised vehicles?
You didn’t, I did. Are you a bit dim?

+1. These things have been a bug bear of mine for a long time.
Do you always answer a question with a question like a cunt and then get ants in your pants when someone does the same to you?
What do you mean?

I thought we had established that.
That’s gas. I was in a bank for the first time in about 3 years on Monday, the AIB at the top of Camden Street. When you go in the door, there are a bank of machines in front of you and you have to go through a door to the right on the way to the exit and around a corner before you see the teller windows. One teller there who spent 10 minutes arguing with some silly bint who wanted to exchange sterling coins for euros. I was looking around thinking it was a strange layout and set-up for a bank. Didn’t realise it was a policy thing.
The express lodgement machines are a godsend - no more filling out poxy forms and dropping into a letter box.
In college branch, the deposits were dropped into a small wooden box where if you were clever you could get some of the envelopes back out. They soon copped onto it after a number of weeks.
