I once saw a model-y looking woman walking a rabbit on a leash in Shoreditch. This is the Irish equivalent.

I am unreasonably excited by the highly visible squatting activity in Dublin right now - first time ever in my experience

Sorry for derailing the 'Dublin losing its edge' thing. But if you want edge, try getting past an angry swan on a narrow towpath.

I'd say 'de-railing' is the exact opposite of what you did.

I would like that, if I could like things in this part of the forum.

I have no idea: I just don't have the use of the like buttons, they're not even displaying, and I can't list who's liked (or more importantly, DISLIKED) any of mine. I'll try logging out and in again.

The scheduled trainspotters thread will be arriving at this platform shortly. Mind the gap.

Fuck you

 

[Hector Grey]

Fuck you

It'll take more than that, Pete. Some kind of start-up ought to do it. You know, commerce!

This thread has reminded me that Freddie Mercury called the Edge 'The Hedge', so thanks for that

Stoneybatter is definitely going the gentrification route if that stupid fucking coffee shop "COFFEE" which opened right next door to a coffee shop is anything to go by. I mean literally right next door.

I tried the coffee once, was fine, it's in the vain of the Twisted Pepper or Brother Hubbards but not quite as good.
But by god what a fucking douchey place. It has no character whatsoever and there was some Ridge Racer soundtrack styled lite jazz playing.

Happy birthday like there for you Dudley

Stoneybatter has been in state of almost-gentrification since I came to Dublin over 20 years ago. It has always had the bohemian, arty set living side by side with the locals-the way Temple Bar was not so long ago. Every now and again the spotlight focuses on it as the home of the countries' up and coming artists and creators..then it fades away again.

The redevelopment and marketing of Smithfield combined with the addition of the college at Grangegorman and the inevitable Luas line will probably seal the deal for ever as a place for college students and 'creatives' who can afford to live there.

Someone with a load of money will no doubt start redeveloping the sites of the derelict high-rise flats at O'Devany Gardens and make even more money.

On a semi-related note, I heard that Miley Cyrus was drinking in Walshes when she came to town

Miley fucking Cyrus
