There's nothing embarrassing about getting the ride.

Much better facilities for normalizing a hobby or leisure pursuit like flying cheap outdoor radio control aircraft. These can be picked up in the larger provincial towns in toyshops by any Joe Schmoe (previous experience no problemo - yeah you look over 14 alright).
What made me chuck the hobby in was the drone conference in the west last October. Not a helpful website at all and I couldn't buy a 200 euro ticket.

Racetracks. Proper, national-superbike/touring-car standard or higher short-circuits with facilities and wherewithal for a good day out for all the family and petrol-heads alike. They're all over the place in the U.K. and are good clean fun, good for the economy and good for motorsport. Mondello is a fine facility, but we really need one in the South as well, at least.

In regards to condoms, in my locality they should win awards for extreme gossiping. I wouldn't be 5mins away from the machine before I'd get a text off my 90year old grandmother asking who the lucky woman was!

Seriously though, the pub toilets does me fine.

I got Condom advent calendars for my friends for Christmas. (5 euros per box)

They all came into work and I took them out and left them on my desk before I wrapped them, nobody in work would even care.

Obviously the latter. Although the Pyongyang metro does have chandeliers.

Left turn on red lights.

I hate this. What's the point of a light telling me I can cross the street if some dickhead is going to come driving round the corner any second?

It's only in certain situations.

if there is a pedestrian crossing, then the left on red rule would not be in place.

if no pedestrian crossing (or if the crossing was on the other side (i.e. for those turning right)) then the rule could be applied.

I've experienced right on red in the U.S. & Lithiuania, and it's an excellent rule.

Or turn right on Green ? Like the Continental European way.

I.E. you can turn right but you must give way to Bicycles and Pedestrians crossing the road.

Those asking for Walmart, its already on the island but called ASDA.

Something like Bestbuy would be good and decent competition for Currys group

Taco Bell is to food what prostitution is to love.

Well then in both senses of the phrase I'm a sucker for a bit of cheap nasty taco.

No, when there's a green filter for the driver to turn left, the pedestrian is facing a red light to stop.

They don't do it for our benefit.
But we need them.

I should probably have guessed the Colombian model of right turn on a red light wasn't ideal.

agree on needing a decent theme park. Ireland is way behind in that dept.

100% agree,

we're always being told how great a tourist destination we are, and yes, I'd agree, but for kids, there is very little.

an uber theme park would seal the deal for so many more potential tourists in my opinion.

On the other hand, Butlins had to close down; perhaps there isn't enough demand for a theme park?

the word Butlins (Mosney) and Theme park don't really belong in the same sentence though.
Hopefully this Tayto Park roller coaster will kick start the theme park sector in Ireland.
