and what’s more this is its third rebranding in since it was the Waxie Dargle, they tried a youth bar “Euphoria”, then a fancy bar whose name I have already forgotten and now this attempt at the tourist market.
Well I am glad at least that sign is being removed, the obvious peril it put people in made me fearful every time I passed it. Well done to all those who complained.
I have just seen the one on the corner of Dorset St and Synott Place and it is completely shocking, lethal, it completely blocks the traffic light for the junction and the pedestrian crossing.
If it helps save the metro I would like to announce right now that I will use it to travel from the Mater Stop to the city center, maybe even as often as every day.
Of course, the proximity of the Mater Stop to my house is exactly why the Metro North boosterism I routinely practice on this site should not be trusted.
This has been bugging me for weeks; in times long past engravings of famous paintings were always backwards because of printing and I was wondering if this was supposed to be a homage to that.
PVC King: Your instincts here seem very pro-cyclical, a more normal response to a downturn would be cut current spending while maintaining capital investment, in our special case, maintaining capital spending on construction projects would be particularly apt. One would have to imagine that the case for various projects are being reevaluated, not least because that would explain the rash of metro related articles in the Times, but I hope they are going to be sensible, the route is planned, the soil samples have been taken, the construction sector is under-utilized and government bonds are about the only way to raise finance.
Anyway, now I have two things to worry about; the call for applications to PRTLI 5, the third level capital programme was supposed to have been announced already.
It would be weird to cancel a construction heavy infrastructure project, particularly with the roads projects winding down as the inter-urban routes get completed.
Wow; that was fast, it is a small Jewish graveyard on the north side of Fairview Strand, the date is 1858 in the Gregorian calendar. There is a Mary in the window above the door, so I guess it is no longer owned by Jews, I have for years wanted to ask to see the graveyard, but have never quite gotten around to it.
the only thing more invisible than glass is a set back and a glass set back is, and I speak with authority as a physicist, invisible squared.

Pretty sure of this one.
Damn, I missed that when I read your post earlier, mostly because of my PIG-obsession, I am with you completely, I often walk by there.
Firefighters is the Naughton Inst. TCD; the PIG is definitely south campshire in that funny 50s deco looking building they build about three years ago. A PIG is a kind of capsule you put in a gas pipe. I am sure I know the other two too, they will come to me; the date is somewhere in college too isn’t it? Dining hall steps? I will check.
