Dublin Ice Arena

[DonegalHoop]

This one looks a very interesting story. Proposal to build a 5000 seated ice arena in Cherrywood and house an EIHL ice hockey team. Looks like they are well down the planning route overall with some serious people and partners involved. Good article in the Times yesterday with the groups Chairman outlining some of the detail involved -

I think you need a civics lesson, EalingGreen. I draw your attention to article 4 of the Constitution of Ireland.

Are you telling me that Belfast isn't in Ireland?

That headline clearly implies that yer man is trying to bring pro ice hockey to Ireland as if that was a new thing, yet the Giants had already done so years ago - a fact even acknowledged in the article itself further down!

What she/her sub-editor should have said was: "Meet the man trying to bring professional ice hockey to Dublin"

As for civics lessons, the state in which you reside may call itself whatever it likes, Gulf of America-style, but I'll still think of it this way:

Is Buenos Aires an American city?

Is Buenos Aires an American city?

Do you always answer a question with another one?

Oh look, orange men renaming the world as they please. Well I never, never, never.

Er, I'm not the one saying Belfast isn't in Ireland, cos I'm pretty sure it is!

Though it seems John83 is still needing time to think. Does he need to phone a friend?

Is there Real Giants playing for the Belfast Giants though ?

That is the real important question ?

Yes, they're absolutely massive - but only if you're very close up:

Wha?

Haven't I been trying to tell yiz all, they're Irish giants, not English ones!

Ye know, Finn McCool, Causeways and the likes...

I mean, what has Dublin got to offer against that?

Some oul biddy with a shiny chest, who smells of fish

Er, Giant's Causeway is not in Belfast. Geography is not your forte is it. Dublin can lay claim to the Eiffel Tower by that measure.

Manys the fella that was grateful for a good night with a Biddy, with a shiny chest ! !

[EalingGreen]

Er, Giant's Causeway is not in Belfast.

It's a mere stone's throw away - literally in big Finn's case!

Besides, I omitted to mention Samson and Goliath:

Er, right. Good luck with that one....
