John would only be interested in inviting you to his gaff for a cooked breakfast....if you're name is RC!!

Fried bread anall i believe....cooked in dripping!!

I might take you up on that when I'm hanging round Dublin sometime, thanks DM.
If it doesn't have a roof sign and door stickers it's not a taxi.

There's a fancy new bar and restaurant down there now called the Bathhouse.Looks nice.I think it was an old bathhouse oddly enough.In case the walk gets too much.

The old baths... supposed to be reopening but it's not for the faint hearted, as far as I know the pool won't be heated.

A bit posh MFH!!
I've had a few walk down that way over the last few months,for some of the specialist work on my Citroen,i'd leave it in with Noel(Dolphin) on Moat Ln,then go for a stroll,the last one i had brought me from Vernon Ave to Sutton Cross and back to Drumcondra(Abra...don't judge me) and back to Moat Ln....i'll admit it left a few blisters on my right foot!!

I haven't been in it yet but mean to get there before the kip crashes again then it will be an actual Bathhouse again.

Nice place actually...saffron rice with sticky something I remember eating. The ambience was fairly stifled the evening myself and Benilda ate there though. Quite the spectacle we were what with the footie and O'Connell's lads staring.

No doubt it will crash....these places tend to be packed to the rafters with have to be seen there types...but they tend to move on to the next best thing after a while.

Love seen places like that go under. I see that Residence kip has changed these days to The Grayson. Supposedly not as welcoming to the clitterati as the other kip was. Had one of the barman in on Sunday. Some toffee nosed geebag asked him to take her coat.. no, it won't fit me was his reply.

Nice retort. Heard a fella in Tallaght Lidl being asked by a Pole whether or not he "vants a bag for life". "Fuck that son, she's too fat for the ride never mind the shops".

Speaking of fancy have yis seen the new place on Dawson at the corner of Molesworth Street.Before that was the Royal Sun building.Looks like the type of place you'd need two ties to get in.Some cash being pumped into these places.
