Can someone tell me why Talbot Street in Dublin is so unpleasant compared to some other nearby parts of the city? Any time I walk down there recently, going from Connolly Station to O'Connell Street, there's a glut of ASBO types, junkies, drunks and disappointed looking tourists (they don't bother me directly I mean, just noting it). I've been on the end of "hassling" behavior more than a few times in the last month going down there.
People always seem to say that about Talbot street but I don't think its any different than a lot of the other streets in the inner city. I think people just notice it more because they have to use it a lot to get to Connolly or Busarus. It's certainly not a pleasant street but neither is lower abbey street or even O'Connell street after dark.Quote:

Anyone else work in finance and despise it?
Ask Stutts...
I'm going back to study Geomatics...
I could have endlessly ended up as a govt serf.
Geommatics - fair play lad - have you realised for awhile that u needed a career change or did you act on ur impulses immediately?
I turned 35 this year and finally decided enough is enough - cant f**king handle this Finance **** and the vast amount of d*ckheads that work in it
Only problem is Im undecided as to what I want my new career to be
Stutts ......u in finance?
had to explain to the girl sitting next to me in work who Johnny Marr is.
Then I had to explain who the Smiths are (were?)
Then I had to explain who Morrissey is.

Got MRI back today. Partially torn meniscus in knee from a kickabout a few months ago. No football for a while. Doc's aren't sure about surgical option because of the length of time since injury, might just have to do lots of physio. Anyone on here ever have an injury like that?
eh, no.Quote:

It was on my mind. 5 and a half years of govt work and no prospect of promotions and I had enough.Quote:

No brainer really. Took me a while to make the decision but once I knew what I wanted to do then it was easy.
It's gotta be this one I know it is, I know it is.
That ad with that sh*t song is doing my head in.
Over here, I've often struggled to get that lovely traditional Irish wheaten bread that is so readily available at home - all I've ever come across is the terribly bland Paul Rankin branded stoneground stuff - so myself and my girlfriend decided we'd make some for ourselves this eve. She's been converted to the stuff ever since I once brought two loaves of wheaten bread from the Sperrin mountains back on a flight to Manchester in my hand luggage. It's all I could fit! For our first attempt, all went very well. I hadn't realised the whole process would be so straightforward and cost-friendly, though, so we'll certainly be making a lot more in future; that's for sure.

The bread went down a treat with a bit of peppered smoked salmon on top and a nice, cold pint of Guinness.

Ah, I've missed the taste of home!

The salary drop doesn't bother me as I don't have a mortgage or any dependents - just looking to get into something that stops me from wishing my week away and enjoying it
Well... the toughest part is realising and accepting that you need a change. From here on in it's easy street.
Today's headline from Japan:
Wakayama man arrested for attaching underwear to cars of women he doesn’t know
Japan. All credit to them. At the end of the day they do weird better than anyone else.
How did he do manage it? Were the cars hotwired or, eh, underwired? Has he hired good briefs for his legal defence? He's clearly a basque-et case! Though it could be a storm in a D-cup.
Knickers.
