Cork city has gone to the dogs.

I get the Sunday Times and that's it.

It's 4.35 now. I can remember not too long ago it was 1.95.

226 euros a year. More than the cost of an annual streaming sub.

I picked up the Irish Times weekend for the first time in ages recently.

When I got to the till with the few other things I had, hearing the total I thought I'd had a mental slip and asked for a pack of smokes as well.

I think it was about €2.75 pre-Covid. Then €3.50. Now it's €4.00+
 
Same here as you could almost buy a good book for the same price.

The kids magazines with the free toys etc are very hard to say "No" to.

€3.50 - €3.80 for a coffee?

" Rip-off Ireland" T.V. show should be brought back but with a new presenter as Hobbs is just going through his late mid-life crisis deep conspiracy theory phase.

If they raise the price of fuel or the humble baguette in France you will have riots on the streets against the government.

We just suck it all up like saps.
They are, and the quality of the toys is dogshit!

I used to get one each for the kids if we were going on long car journeys, on holidays or what ever. As they are often nearly a tenner, I have taken to offering to my lads that they can get a book instead (or 5 books if we go to the charity shop!) and most of the time they will go with that option.
 
30 years ago my dad would get the sunday tribune, people and news of the world, There would be a fella outside the church selling the papers,
Long gone now, id o miss the problem page in the news of the world, Made me want to become a washing machine repair man,
Access to all those housewives. That’s not surprising at all.
