    The Complaint Shop.

    Pay €5 for 10 minutes. or €10 for 20 minutes.

    Someone will sit, listen and nod in agreement as you spout off about, the banks, immigants, bertie, jedward, religions etc etc.

    I was in Las Vegas a few weeks ago, it was basically Bray on smack. A couple of super casinos might help sort out some of our mess.

    Where as in Vegas, most of the city is roofed to protect the consumer from the heat, we could roof most of Bray to protect from the rain. We set up some strip clubs and some casinos, and some pawn shops so people can sell their possessions to keep on playing.

    To make it even more authentic we could import some Mexicans to hand out the fliers for the hookers.

    FEBO

    Don't know if it'd catch on here but handy as hell, and eliminates the "Dya want froies with da?"...would probably need to alter some of the recipes for Irish tastes though.

    We need more Mom & Pop stores. I'm tired of having to go abroad whenever I want to buy some elderly parents. :mad:

    Especially when stoned, you don't have to deal with people. The best market research ever undertaken by anybody to put FEBO's in Amsterdam.

    There was one (or a copy) at the Moore st entrance of the Ilac just inside the door.

    I remember a few years back both Dunkin' Doughnuts and 7 eleven had stores here, not sure why they shut down, any one else remember these?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,351 ✭✭✭Orando Broom


    Walmart to drive the prices down?

    Also a Guitar Center. Chape guitars.

    As soon as you say "Walmart" and "awesome" in the same sentence I shiver and pray to God Walmart never comes here!

    Oh really? How did that work out?
    I guess the concept would be fairly alien here and would need a steady flow of passers-by to stay profitable...probably more suited to train/bus stations here instead of the usual chocolate or crisp machines...

    Bray hookers.

    Classy.

    One would say "Brassy" too. Hmmph.

    There was a Dunkin D's in the Garage on the Western Road by UCC. Loooooong time ago now. Circa 1998.

    Think there was one in the Square as well.

    7 Eleven went bust I think, about the early 90's.
