    Sorry, couldn't resist. Have friends in Chaplin and they said it was busy enough.

    Someone did copyright 'Bag of Cans' (c) TM ... right?

    Clear case of infringement I spotted today in Supervalu Portlarise.

    Heading into my first EP today. Can't wait. Hope everyone here has a great time. Thanks for all the tips!

    The people are fairly dour, which is typical of the Midlands generally (indeed, typical of the midlands region of many countries), but other than that it's not too bad. It was a far nicer place to visit when the main arterial bypass from Dublin to Cork wasn't open. It was a rough and ready country town and all the better for it. Now it has no character. A souless commuter town that's adding to its own problems with the expatriate problems of Dublin and Kildare.

    It's perfect in Arena areas, little mucky in some parts on the paths around camp sites and the forest. Those will be a Muck fest after tomorrow nights rain.

    Young fathers were blistering. Like a feral massive attack being humped by a bag of spanners.
