Yes we have no bananas. In Cork.
That BBC exposé about taxis seemed to indicate that the taxi firms were milking the system rather than the poor souls who had need to travel from one benighted spot to another in order to access services.

Hearing that some Allied commanders (often described as controversial) had a habit of shooting survivors. That's just not cricket.

I expect the Irish Times will let us know soon enough whether the JR of the MetroLink decision is a good one or a bad one. #Speirgorm

I can report that a large BBQ hotdog is €10 at the Christmas Market in Emmet Place.
That's a lot for a bit of sausage.

I dunno, but if you're using Grok to decide whether a document is real or not then maybe you need to think again.

The gowls (who profess to be all about women and children) seem to think the message of Christmas is that of mince pies and tinsel rather than a baby being born in a stable because there was nowhere else for his family to stay.

Thinking about the "we should have fancy lamp standards" brigade and wondering do they not realise that back in the days of ornamental lamp standards they'd probably be living in the unlit back streets along with the rest of us ? #Speirgorm

The house in Beaumont Drive with all the Christmas lights has turned on all the Christmas lights.

Really interesting article. Hopefully it will receive as much traction as the post to which it responds.

This comment is thought-provoking.

Unsurprising to see a Limerick-based X account that loves reposting urban aesthetics also reposting failed English bands (& associated gammons) on the subject of the non-existent war on Christmas.

Why is there such a pipeline from pretty lampposts to "Oi, Tesco,why isn't it called Christmas milk ?"

Eggs lovingly packaged by Dinny and Miley.

All that's missing is a dab of liquid ammonia.

Surely if they want to lure out yer man they could just open a popup court and he'd be right along to make an observation or a demand.
