Is that so? I have to say the lack of a Spar really adds to the experience.
The Paris Bakery on Moore Street. The best buns and cakes in Dublin.
I have used this wonderful fact in three separate conversations today. It’s a belting piece of trivia.
According to wikipedia it’s actually the longest tree-lined avenue in the Northern Hemisphere with no retail outlets.

That’s superb. I didn’t know it was Northern Hemisphere? Where is the longest one in Southern Hemisphere? If it’s in some poor country we could give a local €20 to set up a shop on it and claim the world crown.
Driving past my local racecourse at 6.30am and seeing about 15 horses being put through their paces in the fog. A glorious sight on a cold morning.
Are you sure they weren’t wild horses or unicorns or something?

The half of us looking at the back of it for God’s sake. Now. And it was great entertainment. And you would spend 2 hours. 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 9, 12, 24 hours aye. Watchin the television we used to call it. And me grandmother. At the end of it would be sure to say…

I love people falling.
It’s extra special when they are wearing a suit.
What was his reaction? Did he try to brush it off and briskly walk on?
One of the funniest incidents I ever witnessed was a woman crossing the road with a toddler in a stroller. He wasn’t strapped in and the stroller tilted forward when she let the front wheels down off the curb. The toddler belly flopped into the the middle of the road. My mate and I were standing at the bus stop opposite and proceeded to bust ourselves laughing very loudly as the child bawled and the mother glared.
I recall us drinking outside the Harbourmaster one evening and a flood of people were making their way for the DART at Connolly. One bird tripped and fell to the ground about two yards from us and you burst out laughing and pointing and all the rest. She was very embarrassed.
What a knob
Hahaha. The silly bitch.
