    hi all,

    Well I have reached a milestone, my 2000th post.

    I thought long and hard where to place it, and have probably messed it up number wise, it has to me my favourite Forum DNC

    We have travelled together through, moving the Chuck Wagon, stolen Bin Tags, a destroyer in Balbriggan, LeoB 's wonderful photos, tHB, moving back from Switzerland, election results and predictions, we have recommendations for dinner, takeaways, and advice on everything from schools to doctors, truly a local community acting in each other's interests.

    So regards to all the regulars and irregulars in D N C, see you at. The Chuck Wagon.

    Was out cycling recently. According to the GPS on my watch, I was near the Black Hills. Good to know this exists and it's not some sort of government area 51 project.

    Today, I saw the film Older than Ireland. If you're not familiar with it it's about some of Ireland's 100 year old citizens, 3 of whom are residents of Rush and Skerries. :)

    It was great. They were clearly prompted to discuss certain topics, but it's really a case of simply putting the camera in front of them and letting them talk in their own way.

    OK not the most exciting thing in the world but if you like coffee Balbriggan hasn't exactly been swimming in options lately. A Costa is coming to the Millfield shopping centre which is great as the O'Briens there being the sole eatery in the place- hasn't exactly been trying hard.

    A friend of mine is coming home after being away from a few months and by the sounds of things she's being missing being able to call to a deli. Can anyone recommend a decent deli near the Airport/Swords area?

    There's a gourmet kitchen place on North Street in Swords, at the end across the road from the estuary pub. If that helps.

    Gourmet Food Parlour in Swords is really nice if you're just looking to have a meal, but if your friend wants to browse and buy food it would be worth popping over to Donnybrook Fair in Malahide. They have a fantastic deli section.

    Went for a celebratory pint, with family to Bus Bar, last night, haven't been in there for a few years
    Stale , empty, TV blaring, what's with the bar-man, all tattoo's and a weird sense of humor.
    only good thing the pint of black stuff was like mothers milk, creamy, yum.


    Anyway the eldest got his keys to his new house in Barnageeragh Cove.
    Lovely houses really well built.
    Went with him on Tuesday am, to check the snag list had been completed.

    Met by the Foreman, who took us through the list, room by room
    Then the Builder came over, introduced himself and had a chat, then the carpenter dropped over, to again chat about the house, very friendly bunch of people, and easy to deal with

    Parting shot from the Foreman, was don't worry I will be around here for the next two years, so any issues ring me.......very reassuring.
