Tesco must be desperate to get rid of all their games, DVDs and CDs. I just picked up Pokémon Alpha Sapphire for a tenner when I would be previously considering it lucky to find the game for as 'cheap' as thirty-five or forty anywhere else.

Damn that's a great deal for a good game. Looking around for somewhere in Ireland to get a vita new for as cheap as possible. Want to be able to play Xenogears on my ps3 whilst my fiancee watches TV!

God, I'm so happy I left London in 2013 to move to Ireland. As much as I may miss London at times, Britain is just scaring and disgusting me at the moment.

Also, if I'd never come to Dublin, I never would have ever learnt of such incredible things as Leo Burdocks or Spice Bags! :p :p :p

No but fiancee really wants to see it as she had family who fought in the siege. It looks good though!

Just watched Sing St. Really great film, def going to get the OST cd and blast it out in the car! Liked how 'Cosmo' pretty much dressed like every pop rock band of the 80s!

Budget day tomorrow folks.

Expected that a bunch of people will get between 10-50 euro extra a month from USC changes.

Smokes getting hit. Alcohol staying out.

First time buyers getting some sorta rebate.

Budget day is always a fun time of the year.

I know it's shite telly and all that but I find myself really enjoying Gogglebox Ireland. The mixture of Dubs and culchies makes it way more fun than the English one. That and Irish people are just funnier than brits anyway :p

Family isn't my area and I hated it when studying it but I'll jot down briefly what I can remember.

Very crash course version is that maintenance is handed out on the basis on proper provision ie the court will always seek to ensure the spouse is properly provided for in the settlement whether it be Judicial Sep or divorce. It takes into account lifestyle accustomed to as a married person, property, number of kids etc. Pre nups aren't binding agreements in Ireland but will be used as a guide by the court if it wishes. And if the court feels the document is inadequate it will amend it.

Mines higher than that fortunately woooo ha

For those Irish that wanna try PSVR. They've a pop up store on dame lane for the next 7 days. U can book slots at trypsvr (think that's the site)

I remember a good few years back when they had the PS Hub on South William Street I think, they were showing off the Move and a bunch of games that were due out later that year (LBP2 I think, Gran Turismo 5, Motorstorm Apocalypse, Killzone 3, etc.). Is this pretty much just VR? Can't say I'm not curious to see it at some stage.

Edit: Ah it's only until Saturday? I'm away from tomorrow until Tuesday and can't make the only open slot that I otherwise might be able to make as it says you have to get there 10 mins before. Ah well, lucky I'm not as fussed as other people.

Yeah Gamestop say they have them everywhere but if you order one, the order is cancelled straight away. Smyths have them for delivery, I believe. Couldn't find the number to ring Jervis though :-/.

I've booked myself and my girlfriend in to do it too on the same day I think, although I'm not sure she can go, is that the Swords one? What time is your slot at? I might see you there who knows.

What up lads! I'm drinking a delicious Irish Stout at a local brewery.

Truly cannot wait until I one day get out to Ireland and see where all of my ancestors lived. 3 out of my 4 grandparents are just about 100% Irish :)

They had a bizarre Vita event in Galway back in the day, a freight container in Eyre Square with a few demo units. Me and some friends got stuck playing Hustle Kings and the Vita became a bit of an in-joke from there on.
