OP can get fucked, I'm posting off topic.

All I can see is the amount of crap to trip and injure yourself on during a simple trip upstairs to the jacks.

Why do I find the length of the chimney so funny?

Did they really cast concrete shelves into the fucking wall?
Like I mean, fine. But you are tied to them then forever almost.
Stick a few embeds in there or something - give yourself some flexibility

They were worried it was gonna be a tricky installation, but it just flue up.

Thank you for the info, I like to keep abreast on these things

I'm also slightly offended by the size of it, or why it's even there at all, but I won't take it to hearth.

I get pretty annoyed by housing estates having stupid names. There is an amalfi court in letterkenny.
Amalfi is a merchant town/resort in southern italy. It is the townland of lisenan - which means ring fort.
But to anyone born post ahern-boom era that area is amalfi. A few thousand years of history diluted to mark a boomtime blip. Kinda hoping there is a bit of revision on a few of these.

I don't mind the Italian ones as much as the blatant west Brit aspirations of the ones that sound like they just ache for English respectability

Anyways, romantic Ireland's dead and gone, I suppose

I have been meaning to ask if anyone knows what the building on the North Road in the Phoenix Park with the big chimney is. But finding it on Google Maps to link here shows that the building beside it is called the Laundry Lodge. So I guess it was a laundry.

yep, it's marked on the old 25" maps as a laundry,

It's been a while since I've been on a Luas, but I found it weird that the Irish language name for a stop was a direct translation on their English language name. As in, all those name places that visitors find difficult to understand or pronounce are anglicisations of their Irish names. But surely somewhere like "Cherry Orchard" had a different name in Irish once upon a time. And then oddly on the Luas that english name is Gealicised.

Maybe it's a good thing, I'm not sure.

It depends on the stop. Windy Arbour is Na Glasáin, which means “The Greens” or something similar. The English name refers to Windy Harbour on a river that no longer flows through the area.

Below Busáras, an old theatre worth revisiting - Dublin Inquirer

An exhibition later this month examines the Eblana theatre’s importance and the much-contested but visionary scheme of Busáras itself.

Equally interesting is the offfice cycle park. I love that building and the vision it represented.

It is just the time to revitalise the whole thing - I'd love to see it all restored to the day it was opened.
