Been in London so long I’m probably a Dublindoner. Almost an architect - Groucho Marx rule and all that. Late career move into LA planning. Deffo fat lad at the back.
Thanks for explaining. I was about to ask the same question.

Just curious, as I was at the Compo at the time.

Always risky ordering Guinness when abroad. But that is exceptionally bad. You wouldn’t see a Guinness treated like that even in Cork.

Obviously a soft southsider here but definitely got something in my eye right now.

The only goal Germany conceded before the final. Long way to go to get to the finals again but what a last couple of matches! Troy Parrott - 5 goals in two matches. Brilliant. Delighted for him.

Was with my grandad and other patients at Beaumont heart recovery lounge when Ireland took the lead against England at Euro 88. All of them wired up, then the room was flooded with nurses who’d seen the heart monitors go wild!

Yes, they ain’t the same as rivets. There is a huge problem with housing affordability, regardless of whether it’s purchased or rented, and it’s utter numbskullery to believe that “economics 101” is going to solve it. The market will not solve it either, quite the opposite. New thinking needed.

Is this really an economist pushing the idea that building more houses will reduce their prices? While I agree that it “should” be possible for a single, low income to be sufficient to buy a house like my grandads did, I know that time travel is impossible. Build, baby, build! won’t shift the dial.

You are absolutely right. This is the inevitable end point of the current crisis of unaffordable housing that puts home ownership beyond the reach of so many of our children’s generation. Young renters will become old renters relying on housing benefit unless the state intervenes now.

Likewise my co-ed state secondary school, nominally affiliated to a religious order, in the 1970s. 4 houses: Cornelian, Marian, Patrician and Columban.

Indeed. That’s the sort of thing we used to put on snagging lists in my youthful former professional life.

A pine marten? I remember as kid in primary school in the 70s being told that they were rare, verging on extinction, so glad to see a bold little critter messing with your bins.
