yes i have knocked some things about ireland and the way we do things here but so have others. expressing opinions and feelings about the country is a good thing though. it is better than not speaking at all. that’s why we have rooms and sites like this. there really is no point in being hot tempered though. a bit of fun is ok to have.

you know who you are! talk sense.

listen to what i am fully saying before you start typing! you might learn a thing or two.

well i think it’s ok to talk about the stadium mate. i am not sure myself what is happening there. how can people be expected to be well up on everything is my question? sometimes it’s like you have to stick to certain subjects in this chat room, it’s so sad. the stadium does fall under the category of architecture. people can be so blind at times.

yes that is very true.

i hear that many people out there dislike the royal dublin hotel aswell. i also hear that some of the older shopping centres including the ilac and the irish life mall are disliked. i guess it is just because they are old compared to liffey valley and the jervis centre. i remember before the jervis was built. the old hospital was very visible. it look like an invitation for messers. i remember seeing doors that just opened up on to hugh drops. it looked so unsafe. it looked like it was going to collapse at any minute. anyway another building that i hear people don’t like is the ulster bank on dame street. it has ruined the look of the older/important buildings in the area. the buildings on either side of the bank do not blend in at all. any comments?

here we go again…. listen, i’ll say what i like, just like you all keep doing with me. what is the point in having a site like this if poeple can’t ask questions and express opinions? i thought that’s why discussion forums were invented! so whatever you say!

in relation to your comments regarding the paper… too sick at the moment, therefore i find it easier to use the laptop. it is hard to find info on the net about different projects and i do look at the news sites too. it’s just easier to ask others…

you are all wasting your time trying to win this one and would be better off sticking with trying having a normal conversation, like what i am trying to do, if you’ll only let me. it’s a free counrty. i’ll say what i like.

very true. i would want for a safer city and so on yes but also for a modern one. it does work well in other countries. surely we can have both. it is just time for ireland to be like other countries, that’s all i am saying.

how long is the tunnel in miles though? it seems like nobody cares about the poor tunnel, ah! i remember seeing it in a film years ago. i’d be afraid to enter it though on foot. it looks so dark with no light at the end, ha ha. if it does offer a really quick link to and from two main stations it should be used to help calm busy periods right now. i’d use it as a link if it were open to public use. it looks like a great way to start the metro system off???

nelson’s pillar was still very tall though. the tall pillar was replaced by a tall slim spike. i think it is a lovely spike and adds to the skyline. peolpe shouldn’t be so quick to knock tall, modern structures. now that the spike is up plenty of people like it. if nelson’s pillar had of been only 20 feet tall for example, then that would have been a different story altogether. i am just stating that the pillar was also tall. the pillar rose up from o’ connell street, just like the spike does now.

it’s like those chimneys in the ringsend area. how can people object to skyscrapers being built down there when the chimneys are a massive height already? i think that this is a perfect area to build very tall skyscrapers. it would also help clean up the area. it looks to dirty and industrial.
