Alright, bah. No need to be getting upset.

O'Connell street is also Dublin's main street, MOsEs.

Wasn't that Canadian/American tourist lad killed on O'Connell Street a few month back, no? I agree with you that Cork is probably the worst city in the country right now. The place has gone to shit. Walking in to the city for work every morning this week, I've been met with some fairly grim...

I was in a pub* over in that London a few weeks ago. The owner arrived in, he was handed some letters as he got behind the bar and I couldn't help but overhear/eavesdrop; "Bet it's from the brewery. Yep. As you VAT returns have exceeded £X your new rates bill will be £6200, increasing from...

I have an Uuni II, Bongy from back when it was still a Kickstarter deal - before they re-badged it as Ooni. It is brilliant - you can use it with wood pellets but this is an ordeal if you are doing more than 2 or 3 pizzas so I got a gas attachment for it. There are a few tricks that I learned...

Went to Good Hood in St. Lukes last weekend. Bit hit and miss really. Ordered a few small sharing plates and a pizza between us. Sharing plates; Beef cheek on what, I think, was an attempt at an individual Dauphinoise potato/confit potato . The beef was nice, the potato was lacking something...

So you lob a baseless shade-grenade in my direction inferring that I am forced to iron bed sheets at home as some sort of indictment within my personal life. Yet you freely divulge on here - a decrepit, sex-pest and incel infested Cork talkscene site - that your own wife doesn't know where your...

I do - but I don't feel the need to write a column about in a fading national (Dublin) newspaper about it, let alone start a fucking thread about said column on a dying CORK-centric talkpage. Where else would a thinking person iron their sheets? On an ironing board, is it? Like a fucking sap.

Making your bed before you leave your bedroom is an Alcoholics Anonymous thing too. Apparently it means that you start your waking day with an achievement. Someone here posted that Róisín packed in the wine or something - maybe she found this ritual at a meeting... ... or maybe she cogged it...

Christ. Are you after losing the plot, Mange?

Cyprus Avenue is one of the best venues in Ireland now - bar the jacks situation. Winthrop Avenue is a disaster. I dunno about that. I saw a solo act in Winthrop Ave. a while back and then saw her again in the States where she's part of a bigger band/collective (not huge by any means). It...

Corkage is so high now that you might as well just get a bottle on the menu. That said - I was in an Indian restaurant on Brick Lane in London a few months back and they were only charging £5 corkage on wine/spirits - even if you brought a large bottle of spirits which one table had and £1 per...

Tis true for you, Greedy. What would you pay per dish?

I ended up in The Great Southern down in Killarney for a weekend at the end of last month. The hotel itself is OK. I was staying in a suite (upgrade) - it was all old world charm and all that. My wife said that the spa wasn't up to much - definitely not worth the prices being charged -...

I wouldn't recommend it at all. The house red was a tenner and the little San Pelegrino was a fiver or something.

Had dinner at Lottie's in Rathmines (up in that Dublin). It's a Bib Gourmand gaff - modern European menu. Some of the dishes were inspired - starters like ham hock tostada with miso infused apple puree and the monkfish with rhubarb & caviar. The steaks are very good as is the duck confit...

Da Mirco? I ate there about 18 months - it was dreadful, could not recommend. Bella Napoli is alright - again, nothing fancy, but it's well executed.

Took my old man out for his birthday - as usual I suggested that he picked the place because he doesn't red eat meat/chicken. I assumed that he'd opt for Goldie, which he can't find fault with and is Cork eatery - this is the Gold Standard (no pun intended) my old man is uber-critical - I am...

First that I'm hearing of this. Nice one. EDIT: This is a seated show. That means, with my recent gig-going luck, I'll be sat next to a few cunts talking about stuff they saw on Instagram for the entirety of the event.

Manic Street Preachers are announced as one of the headliners for ForestFest 2025 in Laois which is on during the same time period as LATM. Other acts include Franz Ferdinand, Orbital, Billy Bragg, Pillow Queens, The Stranglers, The Dandy Warhols and Travis. Bar Billy Bragg (and some Franz...
