Does anyone remember a place called Honest to Goodness that was in Georgeâs Arcade. Tiny place. Just take away. They had a favourite called a âSloppy Joeâ just sold on a Fridayâwhich was a thing of glory.

Yeah they were in Dame court for a while too. Cracking rambos

ÂŁ2.50 a coffee is what about âŹ3 hardly a great deal? Then fucking âŹ6 a coffee the next month. The fuck do they normally cost?? Pret is just awful. OâBriens would be nicer, and thatâs fucking awful as well
The GPA need to act on Pret encroaching into the lucrative coffee/snack market currently cornered by intercounty stars.

youâd get a much better sandwich in one of the greasy spoons or delicatessans over in the UK and theyâre all over the high streets, usually called Tonyâs or Frankâs.
There was no IRA in 1911. I presume they mean Irish volunteers, which is a slightly different thing. All the lads from Clare must have signed up for the Somme and never came home
Irish Volunteers was 1913. National Volunteers was before that
Is 1911 used for the breakdown as it was the last reliable census?

There must be a good explanation of what figures they are basing it on. Im almost sure thats from that massive atlas book that came out a few years ago.
the next census after 1911 was 1926 - so that graph is most likely a representation of Ireland sometime between 1919-1926 of men who were between the ages of 15 and 55 in 1911 census. Good catch
I doubt there was a question on the 1911 census asking if you were in the 'RA
Thatâs right. Big place. Wasnât too pricey either for the quality of the nosh.
I remember when that place was all fieldsâŚetc etc!
It was super. Used to work round the corner and get the soup and sambo deal for lunch. Sloppy joe fridays were savage alright. Sensational stuff.

Dinty Moores on Westmoreland St was about the cheapest place in Dublin to eat. Mick Dunne, the cheap cunt, used to eat there every day on his lunchbreak from his insurance job. The Coffee Inn on Sth Anne Street was a great place for a restorative bowl of spaghetti bolognese. Solomon Grundys had a giant pig sitting in the middle of the restaurant.
Slatterys used to do a chicken curry 50/50 (chips/rice) before they went all upmarket
Five hot drinks a day for ÂŁ25 a month is the subscription.
I hope youâre not an accountant.

I missed the a day part. Okay, thatâs fairly savage so in fairness I take it all back. Would be worthwhile going in ÂŁ5 each with a few workmates and getting a coffee each every day.
