    Dublin / Ireland any must see do things?

    Avoid Temple Bar entirely. If you do want to see a Welsh stag party vomit, Cardiff is significantly cheaper. The €7 pints are basically a Temple Bar thing alone. If you do actually want a trad music bar, The Cobblestone up near the old Jameson distillery or Pipers Corner off O'Connell Street...

    [Albion] Coventry game on Eir Sports

    The match tomorrow is on eir Sports 1 which basically every Irish bar is going to have - slightly easier than scrabbling for streams if you're not able to actually attend. Always worth checking for 3pm fixtures as a decent number of both PL and Cup games are shown on Sky Ireland and Eir Sports...

    [Drinking] Whisky in the freezer

    I've done the fridge for some very light speysides that benefited from being slightly colder but were markedly watered down with water or ice. Wouldn't have the fridge or freezer space for my full collection though - usually about 20 bottles on the go, none massively dear however.

    [Technology] Question for any satellite TV installers

    Either the box is bolloxed or the signal strength meter is wonky. Borrowing a box is probably easy enough and the next thing I'd try although I imagine its probably more likely the LNB or dish alignment.

    [Technology] Question for any satellite TV installers

    The signal strength meter is only on one specific transponder (set of channels) - are you definitely getting no signal found on every channel? Its not uncommon to lose either one polarity or one end (high/low) of the band due to water damage to the LNB. You could end up getting as little as a...

    [Football] Which club has the worst crest?

    Swindon have replaced the hideous one recently enough (new ones not much better). Always thought it looked like the logo for a county council formed by a boundary change in the 1980s, with zero history or acceptance as an entity.

    **** Official middle-aged man's Craft Beer thread ****

    Brewdog, chain wide, did a few Irish crafts for Paddys Day this year and I imagine will next year. Forgot to actually bounce this thread for it then This years selection included Kinnegar Rustbucket which is my go-to for a decent normal beer. Rye Ale, not overhopped at all. Think Wicklow Wolf...

    [News] Bell End residents want name change

    https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DFUdtPfXkAAbOIC.jpg Not sure if the other other meaning of mickey is used in the UK much but you can guess what it is in Ireland.

    Bell Cheeses at work

    My manager, who is normally absolutely fine, went a bit weird this week Emailed him *from hospital* at 5:30am saying that if anything I'd start work very late, working remote and probably get sod all done. And that it was entirely dependent on when I got discharged Got a reply at 7 saying it...

    [Politics] Brexit

    The "no deal" / "hard border" scenario that never really gets mentioned due to the horrendous side effects really should be mentioned, due to the horrendous side effects The UK privatised its national grids for power and gas as is well known. The NI electric one was bought by the Irish...

    [Technology] Crypto this week

    Bubble, most of the "currencies" are now useless as actual currencies due to the transactional element being painfully high (and slow). They're backed by nothing other than an assumption they're cryptographically secure. Additionally, the energy requirements are getting to a level of being...

    [Politics] Brexit

    Take Back Control, to hand it to ten bowler hats and the Dublin government (read who decides what EU regulations will be imposed in NI and hence the UK after exit). The DUP forced this - the original deal they refused wasn't going to require any of that for GB.

    [Politics] Brexit

    That's what they do. They have a particular repeated cry of "no special status" and "total equivalency with the rest of the UK" currently, until someone suggests various bits of England&Wales, Scottish or both legislation they don't like. Then there's an absolute need to "respect our unique...

    [Politics] Brexit

    Foster sounded in a mess on air earlier. First she lost the Unionist majority for the first time ever (they still hold more Westminster seats due to FPTP vs PR) in a Stormont election she could have avoided; and now it looks like she's being given the option of a civil partnership with Dublin vs...

    [Albion] Do lesbians ever marry Thai brides ?

    I've never heard of a lesbian paying for sex and from my experience I've never met one who'd tolerate a purely sexual relationship which is usually the case with a mail order bride style situation. Women don't usually pay for sex, gay guys usually don't pay for sex either so it is predominately...
