When I was at uni in the 90's, me and my buddies drank all night one time and on a sudden whim, headed to the coast, jumped onto the 7am ferry and ended up in Dublin, where we carried on drinking for a further 2 days. We accidentally left 1 guy behind when we headed back and it was before mobile phones were a general thing, so we couldn't call him. Fortunately, he showed up back at the uni a day or 2 later, with a incoherent account of where he'd been.

That was my Dublin story, thanks for reading!

Are you sure it was actually him and not one of the Folk?

I wonder if they even could evict them legally speaking. It's a private company doing nothing illegal, if Israel was sanctioned then maybe.

Still think of Milo Edwards' anecdote from his time in Russia of this friend of his housemate, when they were leaving the bar for the evening, he hands them his keys, phone and wallet, saying "is safer this way"

fast forward to 5 AM where their doorbell rings because "filthy naked man is screaming for you" and they realise it's him and he has no idea what happened, he's just un-blacked out running naked from the police, and then had to crawl under cars to get to their apartment uncaught

Looking at the figures, Israel must supply us more military poo poo than we do them.

They sell us a lot of poo poo to spy on and police people.

UNESCO force them to keep it that way because of the Pogues song.

The song's about Birmingham

E: whoops actually Salford, sorry Brummies.

E2: even if you only knew it as a Pogues song, they were a London band, so it's a weird assumption...

I saw a foot long human poo poo in the street in Birmingham. UNESCO should dial it back a bit.

Has the UK ever had to pay any form of reperations for its numerous crimes in Ireland?

Judging by that "Mr. Sunak, get the Navy to tow the boats" clip the answer would be "we didn't send Our Boyz into your country? Isn't that enough. "

Maybe with a side of "why doesn't Ireland investigate a bunch of unsolved murders from the Troubles? Do you know how difficult it is to constantly have to rig trials/tribunals/investigations to say no one was to blame?"

(Yes I happened to be reading this wiki article last night before bedtime and got myself good and angry.

Edit: All this talk about UNESCO, aren't they the guys who hire JC Denton and Adam Jensen?

Well you live and learn, both about the song and the fact that both The Dubliners and The Pogues were English.

You have been misinformed again. The Dubliners were most definitely a Dublin band. They would have played a fair bit in London back in the day but thats neither here nor there, they were a bunch of Irish lads who played as the house band in O'Donoghues in Dublin..

Also, there are 2 statues to Dubliner Luke Kelly in Dublin, the more controversial and excellent one being his giant screaming head

Ireland has a lot of nice places to visit but Dublin absolutely blows. I�d reckon it�s the worst value for money major city to visit in Europe, especially these days. Only Z�rich might be worse, IMO.
