I love a fresh fig, but where would one come across one in Dublin?

I guess they would need to be imported don't think we have the weather for fig trees

This is it. Haven't ever seen them here, I've only had them fresh in the states.

In general, sitting beside the microwave and fridge at work. 12.30 to 1.30 = an endless queue of people microwaving their stinking food and loitering around my desk.

I feel this. I’m beside the kettle and the fridge, it’s all fucking day.

IS EVERYONE HERE FROM JAYSUS SWORDS OR STILLoRGAN

Well I’m actually from Goatstown, just went to school in Stillorgan.

We have a little fig tree in our polytunnel, think we've had a grand total of 3 figs from it in 4 years

I'm from neither Swords nor Stillorgan (or anywhere in Dublin)

I don't think anyone famous went to my school, but seeing as it was a convent in Navan, that's no surprise.

I didn't know you were from Navan! Not that I actually know you, mind. Loreto?

The most famous alumni from my secondary school are Des Bishop and John Banville. John Banville's nephew is now in my band

The other most famous person from my school is textbook author and child abuser Donal Collins

No, Mercy! Are you from Navan too?

Nah, Wexford - but I live near Slane and all my older daughter's primary school friends are in secondary in Navan (she's going to Drogheda instead). You hardly went to primary in Stackallen did you?

Yep. I went to Laurence's for primary school.

 

[David Kronenbourg]

Yep. I went to Laurence's for primary school.

I think we're about the same age so you were probably in the same year as a lot of my friends. I used to knock around Kilmacud with a load of Bennies lads.

 

[Cornu Ammonis]

I did my leaving in 2002 if that narrows things down.

I did mine in 1999 so maybe not!
