It's all this soppy b*llocks I can't stand. It's all gimmick let's light up something with a flag let's turn the lights off. let's come up with a cathy hashtag. let's pray for this pray for that. How about doing something instead?

They can say all these things but people are dead they won't carry on a usual.

I'm off to write a song about it on my guitar.

Deal. When I was working at one of my old jobs the computer I inherited still had old files.
One of them was a ridiculous song that the person I replaced had wrote about 7/7 I wish I had kept it.

That'll be the one. I went to one side of it to find a Latvian pub (I know). However, it was one of the few places outside of Latvia that I could procure a Latvian beer that features on my list of beers to try before I die. It seemed a bit 'diverse' over that side (the side as you go out of the city). Went back a couple of years later and it had shut down. A great shame.

Anyway, I think it'd be a nice gesture for Parliament in Dublin to make. Please put my suggestion forward.

I mean, it was about 30 yards north of the Liffey. Nothing to worry about when that close, I'd say.

It's somewhere only to be viewed from the taxi as you speed through it from the airport. Although of course there's a tunnel now, isn't there?

I made an observation about bad areas. Why in bad areas do people sit outside the front of their houses just hanging around?

You are of course correct, my head is melted with them.

I ventured into deepest Tallaght on saturday afternoon to find one specific shop that sold them.

The regular shops had no stock and would not have for weeks as the official toy is made in China.

The ladies on Moore St were selling them from their prams, along with dodgy cigarettes and anything else you need. They are/were contraband as they did not carry some kind of silly EU certification which meant they were safe or something.

€6 a go.

Was quite a good spot for DJs back then oddly enough, top floor.

Saw Nick Warren, Justin Robertson and James Holden there.
