My day off in Dublin.....

Third_Echelon

Today I had a day off from work. I live in Dublin city centre and work in one of the suburbs of Dublin. This means that I never get to see our city during a weekday... I only ever see it in the evening and weekends...

I noticed today that Dublin is a totally different place during the week. Its a lot nicer...

For a start there a lot of great looking chicks about. Probably the fact that the college folks are in and about town again..

I got out of bed about 1230. My usual is about 0730 for getting up for work, so it was a nice change to have a lie-in... I always mean to do this at the weekend but dont very often follow through with my lie-in plans...

Got up, had a shower and faced the day with a smile on my face... no work.. oh yeah..

I felt the hunger coming on, so i stopped by lemon for some brunch... not quite breakfast, not quite lunch... yum yum..

Decided then to take a stroll around tower records and have a listen to some music to see if there was anything good about... picked up an album by Damon Albarn, Afel Bocoum and Tolimani Oiabate called 'Mali Music'.. really great side project by the blur front man... worth the purchase folks...

After than it was a stroll onto grafton street... holy fcuk it seems today that the world and its mother is turning into a foot locker store.. there were 2 opening today on grafton st.. and to top it all off, my favourite shoe store where i have bought about my last 4 pairs of runners has turned into one... its the store right beside mc donalds... i couldn't believe it!!! damn corporations!!! taking over the world

I also noticed that 'bums', yes those homeless drunk people are lot more fun and merry during the day... i seen one dancing up grafton st, singing 'give peace a chance'... he seemed convincing that he really wanted to give peace a chance.... that was only my first encounter with a happy bum today... no less than 3 more were singing like there was no tomorrow across various locations of south dublin city centre...

Another thing i noticed is the amount of shop-lifting... it was crazy... i personally witnessed 4 people taking advantage of the 5 finger discount :eek:
It was also a day where i say a bunch of romanian women get arrested for shop-lifting and a junkie type as well get lifted... these were seperate incidents from my 4.... people seem to have a fascination when someone gets arrested or there is some comotion... groups of people just stood and stared at this person getting arrested.. why? of course the garda had to state the old phrase 'nothing to see here folks move along'... nice and cliche..

So off i went and down grafton st... as i was passing that damn foot locker which has some sort of grand opening, i was approached by a very attractive charity collector.. now keeping in tone with the 'blond or brunette' thread where i declared that i have a thing for red-heads... of course this girl had to be a red-head... and to top it all off, she was eastern european.. another of my 'things i like in a woman'...

now one thing i hate is those damn charity collectors that harrass the sh1t out of you as you walk down the street. I wanna punch one day as they annoy me that much... if i wanna donate to charity i will, im not giving you my bank details on the street pal.....

so of course i broke my charity collector rule as she was hot... i was going to listen to this redhead, blue-eyed, eastern european woman collecting for charity... i went to reach for my wallet to see if i had change.. i was all out.. not a button. damn credit cards making me not carry cash...

anyway... i declared my sorrow to this beauty that i didnt have any money to give her. she then said that "this is ok, but maybe later you could follow me to my house so you give me some money for the very poor people and i could give you a surprise as well" :eek: that is no word of a lie....

This woman basically offered me 'it' for a donation to charity. I started to feel like 'the pizza boy' in one of those dodgy p0rn movies. I was looking for a guy with a camera behind a bin or something.... anyway, i thought this was a bit of a sureal situation and sounded a bit dodgy...

Did she just want a charity donation that badly or was just that i am a fine specimen of a man and she wanted to do 'things' to me... who knows!!! Anyway I declined her kind offer on the 'its a bit dodgy' thought that was flying through my head.. She said ok and she gave me her number, so im going to have to think this one over... knowing me, i wont do anything about it...

After that i thought, ah i need a new pair of jeans. so off to arnotts for me. bought a nice new pair of cords. damn fine.

so folks that was my day off in dublin.. the city i never see during the week.
It was a bit of a weird one, but it was good... its not every day you get propostioned by a stunning looking women... i think i might just carp the diem

Cork is the same. Sucks to high heaven on Saturdays, but weekday mornings and afternoons before the kids get out of school are great. Best time of all for a leisurely stroll is around 7pm, the place is deserted.

She probably wanted to eat you. Your liver with some fava beans and a fine Chianti. Go for it Third_Echelon and if you don't post back in 2-3 days we will hold your funeral Remember girls get hungry to

Naos

Fair play to you man.

I agree dub city is far nicer in the day, alas the smell of p*ss on w/e mornings..

Anyway, go for it with the hot girl, i mean, come on! She has to be a decent enough soul to work for the charity(volunteer? so i've been told..), and she fits all your wants. You'll kick yourself in 20 years time when u realise this while a fat and hairy arm curls around your waist asking for some..

*shudder*

Why don't you just take off two weeks in Eastern Europe?

There's millions of Eastern European ladies there

MicraBoy

OMG we've found the new James Joyce! That story had everything, classic Dublin characters and locations, thievery, sex.

In years to come we'll have loads of tourists coming to visit places like Lemon and Tower Records. But not before we run Third Echelon out of the country for being a dirty perv.

jesus_thats_gre
