I see our TV licence money is getting Katie Hopkins on The Late Late tonight.
Guesses on how long it takes to bring up the US Election, 30 seconds?

Been thinking... Is there anything Ireland could do to get onto this national embarrassment train the US and UK are on?
Do we have a symbolic big red button we probably shouldnt push?

Vote in Gerry Adams and Sinn Fein with a majority in the Dail? At least Brexit and Trump aren't known criminals

I kinda forgot about that.
Yeah... thats ours.
I remember now because I had some friends from America over that very week there was a load of protests in Dublin and shit actually hit the fan when the government finally said bad stuff was happening.
I remember the build up to that being pretty terrible but I forgot the details surrounding everything now TBH. All I remember was the government furiously denying anything bad was going on and that they totally where not talking to the IMF, everything was fine. Then suddenly we are totally talking to the IMF, shit is on fire OH GOD. Suddenly elections are being called and the government had a big deer in headlights moment for the next year.
I should look up some news stories or a wiki page again sometime. Its all a blur now.
Sinn Fein aren't exactly right wing, though.
I do agree voting them in would be a disaster, their economic policy isn't the most well thought out idea in the world
I wasn't thinking of right or left when I said that, just that Gerry Adams is dodgy at best and at worst is guilty of being complicit in murder and the movement of pedophile rapists.
Wasn't here for the crash, so can't comment on that being as bad.

Kinda weird how Ireland is currently the not stupid one out of the US/UK/Eire right now.
Hey OnlyOne, still want to move back to the UK despite the memo today saying the government has no clue what to do on Brexit?
TheOnlyOneHeEverFeared

Oh yeah for sure.
Sinn Fein did well in the last election and will do much better in the next one. So don't worry, the stupid is coming.

They'll do well, but never that well. Least not with Gerry Adams in charge.
Just like Trump would never get elected, and there was no way Brexit would pass
.Pity, will miss you in the Irish thread. Any progress on that plan?

No not really. Just working away.
That chippy in rathmines is nice, burdocks or whatever it is.
I loved Leo Burdocks when I first arrived in Dublin, but they haven't been too good in a while. Much prefer SMS in town for fresh cod and chips.
I agree with this, it doesn't feel like a classic chipper to me in its current state, more like an Abrakebabra or something (which ironically I also used to love but not so much since the rebranding a couple of years back).
Anyone catch the moon over the last few nights (mainly Monday or Tuesday)? I finished work late but turned around and saw it looked remarkably clear and bright. Apparently it was a supermoon and was the closest it has been to Earth for some time and won't be as close again for 20 years.
Don't know this Abrakebabra, the only chain I know with a similar name is Abrakestabra. Never been in there though.
Did notice the moon was pretty big yesterday. Anyone run the in the dark run?
Four hours for what?

Snowing overnight in north Cork last night. Only a little bit busy still. Rarely see it this early.

I'm part of the Irish Supporters Club so got tickets for tomorrow's game and the Australia game a week later. Can't wait
Aw mate, you will have a blast! I went last week for Ireland vs Canada with my fiancee's father. Never been to a rugby match before at the Aviva, but the atmosphere is amazing (only regret, didn't gave tea before I went expecting to be able to get food at halftime, big mistake!). COYBIG

I'm sure I will. There's only 3 teams in world that make it a great atmosphere in the Aviva and the All Black's are one of them. Can't wait

Who's picking up Pokemon Sun/Moon today? I haven't played a Pokemon game since Blue almost 20 years ago and I think I'm gonna jump back on the bandwagon again. It's been a long ass time but I loved the original to death at the time. Not sure whether I'll go for Sun or Moon, though.
If you get Sun, I'll get moon. We can meet up and trade! Also, don't they come out the 23rd?
Need a pair of waterproof boots for this cold winter coming up, went on amazon.co.uk and found some timberland boots for 110 quid, 50 quid off. With express delivery, still cheaper than in Ireland (215 down to 190 yoyos for black friday). Bring on the snow!

Ah shit, I thought they were out today!

Mate, I'm glad they do. Received Dishonored 2 CE as a present on Monday and still on the 2nd mission I think. With that and watching all the rugby tomorrow, wouldn't have time for Pokemon!

Bulling that pokemon isn't out till Wednesday. Days like this are the times I hate not having smaller games stores that break street date anymore.

Supposedly its cos XY leaked so hard in the EU. Don't know how true that is mind.
I always thought the atmosphere at rugby games in the aviva was pretty meh. Last one I was at was O'Connells last game and it was pretty flat
The Ireland vs Canada match had a really fun atmosphere. Few Mexican waves and Viking Claps too, plus it's great walking to the stadium and seeing the streets start filing up the closer you get.
Egyptian cotton from dunnes stores, very comfy
Edit: actually any cotton sheets from dunne stores are great

Well that's that. Better start preparing for the next one.
This TMO is a Joke. Awful decision.

The ref is letting NZ get away with so much shit. It's infuriating.

The amount of illegal shit going on in the ruck is killing me. The ref needs to take a stance now.
It's amazing how dirty the Kiwis are. The BIG screwed it up when they couldn't score during the two suspension periods.

Wish there was more Wetherspoons around. They were everywhere in the UK and here there's hardly any. Well there's one up in the road in Swords but apart from that.
I just Googled it as I didn't even know Wetherspoons was in Ireland but looks like toure in luck: http://m.independent.ie/business/jo...centre-and-its-creating-50-jobs-35228434.html
