I haven’t been in there in ages. Is the dingle sushi fella still going there?
Haven’t seen the sushi man lately, there’s a new stall selling hot soup, it’s Anne Lloyd from the breakfast roll stall, she does 4 different soups each week, the three soups that I’ve had were all outrageously good,
And the poutine is really good, not fully authentic, he uses pizza mozzarella instead of curds but really nice nonetheless
Ref poutine had to Google it, french Canadian effort? Never heard of it here, thought twas some quaint Limerick dish( as we have bodice etc)
Bodice is everywhere, it’s just called that in Cork though, in Limerick Drisheen is called Packet
Packet? No bodice whatsoever across the border
Wellworths was the one and only shopping centre in Derry city centre in 80 ,Cork butcher there, asked him ref bodice and crubeens,and tripe ,informed me kid not a hope up here
Bodice is just bacon ribs,
God almighty?
Brexit needs to be resolved satisfactorily or there could be catastrophic implications for Irish citizens.

i had
- x2 (two glasses of club orange)
- grilled halloumi and pepper skewers starter
-sirloin with gratin and asparagus - for some ungodly reason they added chips on the side with the gratin but i devoured them

we followed this with x4 single espressos for the adults
total 62 euro - unreal
this event took place around 3pm after i had attended a neighbourhood meeeting w.r.t the erection of a pedestrian xing in the area, trained an u-6 team soccer team and we made a family visit to the garda station ( to get a passport form signed)
post the meal - i took the bigger lad to smyths to purchase a box of lego before speeding to harvey norman where i had a row with a member of staff reagarding a rechargeable battery in a dyson v8 ( more on that later)
i then went home and put some stupid yoke in the shower for hanging bottles of shampoo and listened to the gah on the wireless
x4 cans of heineken for MOTD rounded off proceedings

I’ve given you a like there @mickee321.
It was a load of scutter actually but it grabbed my imagination.
You have a talent for prosaic storytelling that’s approaching @Smark.
You do however need a firmer punchline. I’m giving you 8/10 on this one but I know you’ll come good.
Hint…A bit of a sidebar re: some lurid observations always wins…

The cost of keeping 4 dependents is astonishing.
just outside Navan- if you are ever up for the Lismullen Hurdle its worth a drop in on the way back- you’d have to book mind as its always packed
i forgot to add detail that i also placed a 10 (ten) euro football accumulator in between the neighbourhood meeting and taking the 6 year olds soccer training,
it was an absolutely wonderful action packed day and as a parent id say it as good as you will get,
I try to relentlessly keep going throughout the day, pausing will only allow me to consider how turgid my existence is albeit when i look back on the weekend sometime i do with a degree of satisfaction and Saturday was an excellent day.
it was a bit cold for gallavanting on Sunday so we just went for a walk in Trim
@Tassotti
this is a good refelction on relationships from Richard III
Plots have I laid, inductions dangerous,
By drunken prophecies, libels, and dreams,
To set my brother Clarence and the king
In deadly hate the one against the other;
And if King Edward be as true and just
As I am subtle, false, and treacherous,
This day should Clarence closely be mew’d up
