No, pal. But there was an outage affecting a selection of business premises, residences and traffic lights all the way from Baggot Street down to Ringsend Road for a period between 5pm and 6pm yesterday. Hope you werenât impacted, mate.
Not to mention street lighting, bud. It was a bit strange walking from the Dublin bike stand on Barrow Street to my house in complete darkness. Ours went alright but I was only home 5 minutes before it came back again so I chalked that down to a victory of sorts for yours truly.
Is the bike stand opposite Shelbourne Park not closer to your humble abode?
No coming down from the Grand Canal area, Barrrow Street is closer or at least in my head it is But itâs marginal alright, pal.

Strolling around Grand Canal Dock at the moment as I have the afters of a wedding in The Marker hotel later. Can anyone recommend a decent place to eat? What are they doing to Bolands Mills?
Decent grub in the Marker. Mixed use residential and commercial for Bolands Mills.

Where have you gone, mate?
Milanos is lovely.
Staying in the Clayton so we decided to go there. I went for the Singapore Noodles and herself went for the Tiger Prawn Chilli & Basil Stir Fry. Both hit the spot.
The Clayton do a âdelivery serviceâ where they deliver your food to your room in take away containers. They charge âŹ3 for this. We did not avail of this and ate in the bar.
they say Dublin is like a jungle, what kind of animal do you see yourself as? I always think of you as a fox, very strategic

Alas, my acute business acumen was bang on the money yet again. Strolled down to here yesterday at lunchtime to get a coffee but was disappointed but not surprised to find that this coffee shop has appeared to have ceased trading. Shutters down on the window and bins in front of the door. Just that bit too far away from the business district of GCD to attract the clientele they wanted I would imagine.
On a side note, the Oarsman appears to be doing a cracking lunch trade judging by the numbers sitting in the windows when I passed.

Well called, pal. I never frequented the place but I saw a couple of good reviews for it from âfoodiesâ and hipster types in the media. But youâre right - who in Irishtown is going to pay a premium for fair trade coffee, excellent cheeses and some fine wines? It may actually have been a success if it was located where The Oarsman itself is. As you say, it was just too far away from the scooter brigade in GCD.

Foodies and hipster types are grand in so far as they go but those cunts donât spend any money. If these places canât do a steady trade in mug businessmen then they will go out of business lickety split.
