Finnegan's was recently taken over by the owners of Curragower. It was poor in the past but I was there last Saturday and it was quality.

Oh. Will definitely try it sometime soon if thats the case.

I had literally no idea what Dregins post or your first post were about until I saw the WWW link. Ignorance truly is bliss.

Peppa Pig is preferred to Love Island in our house, but it's a close run thing and has caused a few big rows. There's no row before the baby goes to bed, obviously he gets to see Peppa Pig and it keeps him entertained so we can bury our heads in various electronic devices and ignore him. Once he's gone up, however... then the row starts!

I know every line by heart I've seen it so often, I feel I could write a thesis on the gender stereotyping and subtle racism contined therein.

I'm sure my kids think I'm an idiot because of that show

My sister got my first kid a George pig toy and I have to say my impersonation of the various non verbals he makes are fairly on point.

If mommy pig was as inept as daddy pig is made out to be, this show wouldn't have made it past 3 episodes.

Yea daddy pig is the dunce.

Was watching an episode there where the password for the treehouse was "daddy pigs big belly" or something. Can ye imagine if it was "mummy pigs big belly"?

I've just realised I'm talking about how peppa pig conforms to societal expectations. My life really is over, isn't it?

My daughter has watched about 1 hour of peppa pig and I hate it already. She doesn't even really watch it, but it's the only kids show I know to youtube.

That said, I've always told my wife we'll need two TVs in our house and she has always insisted we don't. I think Peppa Pig will finally make her see my side of it.

If you carry and voluntarily use a supermarket club card of some description then it's over. Often my wife or the cashier would suggest I use the club card or request it for a scan and I'd hand it over, meagre pride intact.

It was the day when I said unprompted:

"... ooh.. hang on, ... club card... sorry.."

..that I knew it was all over. I had plenty of time to reflect on this because after I requested he scan my club card, the cashier had to remove my credit card, scan the club card, and then reinsert my credit card. The entire time he was looking at me like I was damaged goods. It wasn't hate or disappointment, it was an unintentional but obvious pity.

He loathed what I had become, and he was right. Fcuk you Dunnes Club Card. Homewreckers.

Netflix has a kids section with plenty of stuff.

We had friends over from Oz a couple of years back with their 2 kids. The morning after they got in their youngest was up at 6am. I thought I’d be a good host and let them sleep while I babysat the kid. She insisted on watching hour after hour of Peppa Pig. After witnessing the blatant sexism on show (and just being generally pissed off watching it) I decided that no child of mine would be allowed watch it. Obviously I wasn’t overly aware of it for the first while, but after an hour or so it started to sink in. It’s horrendous.

Also, awec, you’re daughter is 4 months old and you have her watching children’s TV!? Just do what I do and stick on the rugby. The colours and the movement do the job just fine.

Rigor Mortis

My kids aren't allowed watch Peppa Pig at all.  It is a dreadful show.
