The post that started it all is viewable on boards.ie here.
So apparently the timetable for the new Dunboyne rail link has been posted by Irish Rail.
Only the timetable shows that every single Dunboyne train serves Docklands and not Broombridge, Drumcondra or Connolly.
This is fucking retarded. I know a good few people who would be using the new train line who would want to go to Drumcondra as part of their commuting journey. This move by Irish Rail was made without any research or any consultation with people in the area to ensure a satisfactory service for the majority of it’s commuters.
Or rather, woo 21! Well, maybe not so much – I’m feeling really damn old now. Anyway, last weekend was bloody epic, especially the absolute chock-filled Saturday with friends during the day and family in the evening.
I originally wanted to write something about being back in college over the weekend, but I just didn’t. I had more important things to do, like the Dunboyne motor festival, and having a very secluded life. But yea, first week back in college and this time actually registered rather than just being somehow lost in the system despite me doing everything right on my end.
It’s just occurred to me that next week sees my planned trip back up to Dublin for a few days to see the family, reminisce, chat and whatnot. And as with any trip, there is an itinerary planned. And by that I mean, stuff I’ve told myself I have to do, but likely won’t.
Yet again, I am going to be teasing you with an ambiguous post title that ends up being about a very niche aspect of my life that very few people would care about. Read the rest of this post…
I feel like I may have dropped off the face of the earth a bit this week, but it’s been hella busy. I suppose now though, I can get around to detailing the actions of the week. Although I am still tired…
So a few of you were watching my Twitter stream this morning and read my text updates about an incident where a child crossing the road to get to school at the Dunboyne Gaelscoil was knocked down (thankfully no serious injuries). The annoying thing about this story though is mainly why it had to happen. For what is such a simple little thing, not only could things like this be prevented, but it would also make things much easier for all residents of Dunboyne Castle.
So, I never did manage to win the Euromillions last Friday with the €100 million jackpot – instead that accolade goes to two people from somewhere other than Ireland. But even having the chance of winning something so lucrative does make you think about how you would act if you did happen to win it. Many of these things ran through my head all Friday night and Saturday morning (I never got around to checking my ticket until the afternoon!)
4 days until the IBAs. 5 days until A1GP Gauteng. There better be some fucking wireless down in Cork…
I know I did mention Dublin Bus’ latest big news grabbing story in a Random Shit things a bit back, but now they’ve done something else more heinous (in my eyes), so it needs to be shared, even if people don’t care!
