That's pretty much what the one I had a rather brief ride on in Paris felt like. Low pressure tyres meaning lots of work to actually get anywhere. I was hoping the stations might extend out into the suburbs like in Paris so that the bikes could be used to get home on. They would be handy for...

"The front cover is a masterful painting of a number of Dublin shop and Pub fronts pieced together onto one ficticious street by Colm Greene, the painting was as long in the making as the album. " http://indigo.ie/~orlafitz/jubilee.allstars/jubileedisc.html

Powercity €120 for 21" no name tube Telly. Ginormous compared with a flatscreen, but does the job http://www.powercity.ie/?par=10-01-WPB21S

The place on Nth Frederick Street near the junction with Dorset St cut some copies of fairly old car keys for me a couple of years ago. Also Brown Bros. in Dun Laoghaire is supposedly one of the best key cutting places in Dublin in terms of the range they carry. Maybe give them a call…

Tim Moore's account of walking the route with a donkey is worth a read http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/0099471949/?tag=thumpedcom04-21 rather amusing...

Belle and Sebastian – Tigermilk – the title track remains unreleased Belle and Sebastian – The Life Pursuit (title track ended up as a b-side) Arab Strap – The week Never Starts Around here (ended up on the album Monday at The Hug And Pint) And, eh… Something Happens - Stuck Together with...

I had a similar-ish problem a while ago where the car had reduced power and cut out every time I stopped. It turned out that one of the hoses leading to the carburettor had a nic in it and was letting air in (or out?), which reduced the power. It wasn't a big job for the mechanic to fix it...
