    We'll both have our opinions then Chuck! Do you work in Symantec by any chance? LOL. There's nothing worse than these kind of try-hards who would love something to go "viral" for a bit of oul free publicity. In my opinion.

    Yes I work there. 1700 hits in 12 hours. Not bad :)

    Gaspode, don't fight the MEME trend - embrace it :-)

    Tsk tsk Chuck, isn't there some rule on boards about posting stuff about a company when you work for that company? You'll have David McGuinness dancing Gangam Style for a few votes next....

    Now that's an idea!!!

    I think the rule on a company is where i'm trying to recommend them over another, but posting a MeMe trend - nah, just a bit of craic!

    Well at least referring to something as 'Crap' is allowed ;)

    Did you like the Corduff Football Club one?

    Honestly? No, I thought it was crap. But if it makes you feel any better, I think they're all crap. It's the most pointless meme ever and the music makes me want to throw my speakers at the wall every time I hear it. It irritates me so much that I'd nearly prefer that bloody Gangnam Style sh*te rather than have to listen to it again.

    I guess this means that like Gaspode, I'm officially old. :)

    Go on, go on, go on - throw the speakers :-)

    Just a warning, we're making another this afternoon for all the younger teams ;)

    As the Americans gave us shopping malls in the first place, it's interesting to see what's happening to them over there.

    No new malls built since 2006.

    Looking at the lunacy in and around blanch centre over recent days, I don't think any of the tenants need worry any time soon.

    History & fate of shopping malls is not really a D15 topic to be honest - I'll move this to our off-topic thread

    No fear of the towncentre. But jebus the Irish Life mall in town is RIP I am afraid.

    I believe the first out of town shopping centre was Stillorgan???

    And on another note I remember the excitement hearing about the first drive thru McDonalds when it came to Dublin. Was it Stillorgan as well???????

    Between Dunsink Observatory and the River Road. There's been cattle on the land for years, they were gone for a little while when the new owner was NAMA'ed, but now they're back.

    Around Tyrrelstown and Hollystown there's still land being sown and reaped, as well as cattle being kept. You'll meet tractors and all sorts on the roads around the area.
