Had to try it I like cask stouts but there's a lovely smoothness to this you don't get with the others. (Ludite here assuming it's the nitrogen taking the harshness out)

Every time I use these crossings or pass then on the bus it irks me (sad I know) How they were allowed have one continuous barrier and no opening for people walking is beyond me.... Rant over

Happened to be flicking through the transactions on the leap card and noticed a load of 0 fare transactions. I did not realise there was capping 😳 (great) With using the train to LI from Kent I'm getting my ride home for free.... Handy

Scrap metal collection and loading on the docks aside, often thought it would be nice frontage for cafe/bar here in Galway.

I was trying to figure out where the pic came from. We were approached on union quay a few weeks ago by a young fella offering portraits and this is what he produced (we asked what he wanted..€) The pic was my attempt at recreating the mood of the drawing

Not bad going on a Brompton. (Probably a bit quicker as I forgot to turn off the stopwatch)

Reading a Facebook post shoved into my feed from someone lamenting old Parnell place and all the trees. Personally I prefer the new (12-13 years ?) layout The trees that are now there are really starting to mature and hopefully they get looked after. Reckon yer man is from knockpogue avenue

Home to wellington road on a Brompton in 43 minutes, beating googles estimate, not bad considering I was fucked by the time I made it up the glen road to the airport. York Street did beat me though and walked the last quarter of it

They updated the imagery over Aughinish a while ago, it's startling the scale of it Given the cost of rehabilitating the Irish Steel site in Haulbowline you'd wonder what this will end up costing
