    I agree with you completely, reporting it is always the better direction, and am happy that you have taken that option

    One wonders if some people are sympathetic towards the ponies or looking for sympathy for themselves.

    If anybody was thinking of getting a VR setup but you're unsure if it's worth it or whether you might be among the fraction who gets motion woozy, there's a new VR arcade you could try. It's beside the Subway on Parnell Street. I haven't tried it, but it's nice to have the option there.

    I went there last week.

    The have 4 VR 'rooms' running HTC Vive and were setting up a 2-seater car seat for virtual driving.

    €20 an hour / €10 - 30 minutes / €6 - 15 minutes. They were offering free 2 minute demos for those that were just curious.

    I played Quivr on Steam for 30 minutes with a mate and loved it. The lads running the place set the game up, gave us some instructions and left us figure out the rest ourselves.

    They had a bunch of other games but they need to work on a better way of letting people know exactly what is available and they still need some time to work out some teething issues (mics weren't working so unable to speak to other players). All in all money well spent. If you don't fancy splashing out €1000 for the Vive then head along to this crowd and give it a try. They say that walk-ins are welcome but there was only 30 minutes wait last Friday so it may get busy over the holidays.

    I don't have experience living there, but I did view a place there a year or two ago so here's what I thought:

    The corridors were very dim even though the lights were on during daytime. That gave a bad first impression that whomever is in charge of maintaining the building doesn't care that it gives a "dangerous" vibe. On the way to my prospective apartment, I noticed a potential neighbour's door was significantly damaged. The apartment itself was fine to look at. You could have plenty of sun and a nice view of the hills if your place is on the south side of the building or the sound of the river when its high and no sun if you're on the north side.

    I decided to go with a different place because of the bad first impressions and people were warning me against it even though they couldn't cite specific incidents.

    Incidentally, I reconned Bridgewater House that same year on a weekend night. One of the entrance doors was broken so anybody could enter and somebody was blasting music for all to hear.

    Maybe these places are fine and my first impressions were misleading. I'm eager to hear from someone who lived in either place fairly recently.

    Given that it was a Christmas pop up shop that's not unexpected.

    That's a real pity. I've been a customer there since it opened. People these days are too occupied with getting everything for the cheapest price possible and to hell with the local shop selling usually for not a lot extra. It's only when these shops are closed that people realise how much these shops contribute to the area, theres a lot to be said for being able to bring a faulty item back to a physical shop rather than an online entity.

    I have no idea why the shop closed but I'm sure that online competition pricing them out of the market had some part to play in the decision.

    On a positive note, the lads are staying in the music business and will continue to run the stage and equipment hire side of the company.

    I agree. Was there for a late lunch on Thursday. Nicely decorated inside. Good quality food and attentive staff. Really enjoyed it.

    Must try it out! Will they give you a can of coke with your dinner though? One of my pet hates about the original Galileo. Insisting the sit in customers must drink flat coke from a 2l bottle, but selling cans to the take away customers!

    A new fish restaurant in the Poppyfields looks impressive looking in from the outside anyway.

    Will give it a try shortly and see what it's like.

    I don't know and I've forgotten the name.
    The interior is so stylish that I suspect it might be a franchise.

    I don't believe so, one of the guys who worked in esquires has taken it over, looks classy from the outside and is a fish and chip shop + seafood bar. Can't help but feeling only serving fish is shooting yourself in the foot a bit.

    Yeah I don't know...
    They have them in France (franchised), not sure they do very well tbh, but they're still going after a few years.
