    I remember watching the film and thinking it was the spit of The Long Room, but thought that it was based on an American University copy instead.
    I hope that the Jedi archivist is a damed site less precious about who dares to breath on the records thena Trinity, where I remember that you basically had to be the seventh son of a Vestal Virgin eunuch to access the upper levels.
    Anyway a far more productive tactic for Trinners would be to strike a merchandising deal with Lucas and further their media whore status.

    P.S. note to Paul Clerkin, why not use a watermark function in your graphics packageor an encrypting type package like Adobe Writer to stamp your images? It can de done where it is visible but not distracting and sould make the image look dodgy of cropped.

    Planning permission was given for a hotel, but rumour has it may become apartments.

    Yes the “megapub”(super is far too close to superb to even be funny) is one of the most bum clenchingly hideous expressions of the inverse WALMART sales policy of Irelands services sector, where the customer is piled high and where the only thing cheap is human comfort. One of the original city centre ones to my limited memory is my least favourite is O’Neills of Suffolk Street. The mix of the rancid mock “Tudor/Victoriana/Englsih country inn” and chauvanistic surly service, in particular some of the barman in the downstairs bar makes it one of the least pleasurable drinking experiences in Dublin.

    Apparently there are underground WW2 bunkers beneath Mountjoy Square. Most of them are waterlogged, and have been blocked off. According to the parkie one of the raised hatches near the centre of the park leads to one of the few open chambers.
