[QUOTE=“Kinvara’s Passion, post: 994455, member: 686”]Cops chasing a group of black youths all along O’Connell street. Some have taken refuge in our Luas. All of them have a bit shaved off the left side of their eyebrow which probably signifies some gang symbol or could be just some hip fashion thing that I am completely unaware of.

3 heroin addicts boarded in four courts and took our seats as we left in museum… one of them had a pale blue ben sherman jumper that I used to wear back in the day. He’s not filling it like I used.[/QUOTE]
That Luas line is an education. The last time I was on it a tinker girl and her mammy got on at Abbey. The daughter was foaming at the mouth from drugs, and the Mammy roars at her fuck you you’re making a disgrace of us all. And then fucks off and leaves her with her eyes rolling in her head. I’m not getting on it again without an armed guard.

Down around the Aisling there where you are staying used to be a great haunt for prostitutes. The truckers would park up on Benburb street for the night and the ladies would service their needs. Foremost amongst these ladies was Jane, the Gummy Gobbler, who had no teeth. The Luas moved out the truckers so I would assume that this local enterprise has moved on.

The class distinction between the red and green line is outrageous. Put’s Limerick City boundaries to shame

Hasn’t Limerick’s finest Ned/Eamon Rea a porterhouse* somewhere in that locality??

  • All needs looked after type of job.

    He certainly did, whether he still has it I don’t know. Ned must be 70 now.

I heard it was in very dodgy hands at one stage 5/6 years ago.

Did you ever renew that C licence of yours pal?

I can definitely see why they have 2 men on the door of the hotel alright. I went up to Londis earlier to get a few bits and there are so many walking dead around the place.

The first time I ever stayed in Dublin was in 1997, I was seeing a girl from Tipp at the time and we stayed in the Tipperary B&B just a few doors down from here. A fella told me a few years later it was a notorious spot for the 3 hour deal.

KP - have you ever stayed anywhere in Dublin that wasn’t a shithole or a knocking shop?

191

Also KP please remember while on the mean streets of Dublin, that just because you drink Bulletproof Coffee, you aren’t actually bulletproof.

192

He took it over again last year. Great timing.

193

Ahh now… The Ashling seems to be a decent enough spot. Couldn’t do enough for us either…

If you could get over the fact that its slap bang on the nerve path between a few junkie epicentres it grand.

Some rain overnight. Pity the poor cunts that were out in that.

The Ashling is a grand hotel after they did it up.

Spent the weekend at Clonea in Waterford. Lovely part of the world with beautiful beaches. *

  • almost, but not quite, as spectacular as those on The Hook Peninsula.
196

It is a bleak old spot alright. Not saying Kinvarra is that type of man but if a fella could feign an urgent work call and be able to disappear for a half hour to deal with it then there are at least a couple of very high class hookers working in the apartments that overlook Imaginosity.

197

Thanks lad… but I have 3 women hanging off me right now and my wallet is thinner than @CarryHarry sales order book… the last thing is another one pulling off me.

198

“Pulling me off”, you mean.
