The Sixth Commandment on BBC is very good so far.

I know people think James M is a good lad and tries his best but but f**k me, you have a corner to take and put it out of play.

Saw Aslan a rake of times when I was younger. They were excellent live. He lived around the corner from me and I'd have met him in the local shop loads of times. Very friendly to everyone. He drove a white 2 seater Merc which stood out. He sang to the local neighbours during lockdown which must have been cool. Was listening to them this morning when out running. He fought to the bitter end.

Malahide castle is lovely. Get the dart to Howth and climb the hill of Howth

I would echo the comments on Bowes and the pint is really good. Can get busy.
O'Loclainn's whiskey bar in Ballyvaughan is a great experience, only opens at 8pm! The pint is excellent and they have an unbelievable selection of spirits.
Can get busy as it is small.

I managed to get the gateway ID sent to me via email I just can't remember the sequence. I know 😊 had to verify my Irish passport using an app that I had to download. It was very impressive. I sat my phone on the front of the passport and it read the biometric data. Sorry I can't remember the sequence

To be honest I can pay the 1500 now or over the next 10 years, either way it's a win win for me.

I'd echo that. I did six years in London. With an investment of 1500 now I'll get about 107 sterling a week compliments of the Crown. I'm happy with that return

Best example I can think off is Castlepollard, Co Westmeath. Has a big green with 4 roads surrounding, pretty sure it hosted a market fair back in the day.
Yes once a month I believe until the late 60's. Population is only about 1100

First pair of Hokas purchased this evening. I'll be up and out early in the morning to check them out. I'd have to agree with others that talk about support. I was running in cheapish runners at the start and had niggly injuries. Touch wood I've had Sauconys and Mizuno's and no issues at all.

Which version did you go for? Give us an update after you go for that run. I've been mulling over buying a pair for a few weeks and don't know whether just to take the plunge. You can't have enough pairs of running shoes right?
. I went with the Arahi 6. Lovely support with them. Flew along and am very happy with them. Found them very balanced. More like the Saucony hurricanes I had previously. They are 269 grams I felt them light but not as light as the mizuno waves I had.
