Fair but saints don’t seem to get up to that sort of thing so much as piously letting themselves be horribly murdered. Patrick was clearly going back to his roots.

It's an easy crowd pleaser when there were riots in the last couple of months caused by your own failure to apply your existing laws. Just don't think too hard about any of it.

I'm a bit out of the loop on this but hasn't it been a relatively consistent issue that there are more people sentenced to jail than there are places in the Irish prison system?

I was driving home from the city center today and I drove next to an anti immigrants group in Coolock with flags and all. Quite a sad sight, I think they were manifesting outside a structure that is going to A few years ago, if I ran into a bunch of men waving the Irish flag, my first thought would have gone to Six Nations or something else of the sort. Really scary that, when I saw a flag popping up in a neighbour's house, I immediately started wondering if they are a mega chud.

The constant stream of Game of Thrones coach tours over the years has seriously damaged a lot of the trees as their root structures form the foundation of the road. Maine still do door-to-door deliveries of fizzy drinks.

Yes I do believe that is one of the reasons suspended sentences are so prevalent. Like everything it's down to lack of investment under 10 years of FG rule.

I grew up in a bar. I wonder if Cantrell and Cochrane still do the peppermint cordial. I noticed a bottle of that stuff sitting on our shelves for years. I couldn't figure out what it was for until I was in my mid-teens. There was a former political prisoner who liked to slam several brandys' and port before going home to his wife. He would take a couple of shots of undiluted peppermint cordial to freshen his breath before leaving. It didn't sober him up any, of course. Also didn't hide the fact that snot was dripping from his nose and he was carrying a bottle of Henessey home under his arm. If you see a bottle of that stuff in a bar somewhere don't ask to try it. It's likely over 40 years old. I don't think cordial goes out of date, but still...

Rock Shandy used to be a staple for me before the UK sugar tax ruined it here in the north. Wondering if it's still the full sugar recipe in Ireland. I can't imagine them setting up separate production lines for north/south so I'm guessing they enshittened it for everyone.

I like that, when Ireland elects a new Taoiseach, the 5 new posts in the Irish Politics thread are about the decline of Rock Shandy. This is not a critique, by the way.

I can't imagine them setting up separate production lines for north/south so I'm guessing they enshittened it for everyone. I just got a can of Rockshandy to have with my lunch. A can of Club Rock Shandy is 16grams of Sugar, so that's a gull Sugar recipe. But let me tell you a hack. I used to love Mountain Dew, back when it was full Sugar and caffeine. It's what I'd drink if I needed to stay up late writing assignments in college. The stuff you get in the shops has no Sugar and is thus horrid. But if you go to random Asian markets you can find different countries Mountain Dew that is full Sugar. The ones I've seen are Malaysian (tend to be tall skinny cans.) Or ones from the UAE (short, squat cans that are only 300 mls and don't have proper tabs for opening. But they have more Sugar in a can then a can of Coke.) It's a game changer.

Simon Harris is coasting by on new car smell, when the car in question is a 2008 Toyota Prius. He has no track record and it's hard to take him seriously since he got the job by default.
