A breast n bun from anywhere but Hillbillies is crazy talk Cadyboo.

Seriously check it out and tell me your thoughts.:p My OH doesn't like the chips in hillbillies so refuses to go there. The b n b is kind of similar in lennoxs but they also have yummy chips especially topped with cheese and garlic.

Can do homemade wings with franks sauce. Gotta learn how to make it hotter.
or just go sit in in soho for wings.
never got them as takeaway in east village.

Cadyboo · 10-04-2012 9:40pm

Yeah I have franks sauce too but they are not the same when you make them yourself. Maybe throw in some chilli powder? Be prepared if you do get them take away.. the portions are HUGE!

Don't normally like wings or ribs as they're messy but in the Englishmarket there's a place to get 20 wings for €2 and €3 for a big rack of ribs in Aldi

You can't say no to that value!:)

They're in the refrigerated area by the nice soups they have, coleslaw etc. - that may or may not help you :pac:

Hoping to try them tonight as I've college until late after work, hoping they'll be tasty as that'll sort me for dinner two nights a week if so!

D'Agger · 12-04-2012 12:21pm

To follow up on this - those ribs were the job last night!!

Just put them into a baking tray with tinfoil, preheated the oven and then chucked them in for 20-25mins - turned them once too just for good measure although I'm sure there was no point.

Have paper towel handy btw - It got a bit messy for me but overall they were nice and meaty ribs, very happy with them!

Hate being sick in work.

And I have to work late tonight.

:(

Bad one buddy - any chance you could head away early or something??

I'm getting peckish now though - corn flakes may be required!

Yup - they come with a sauce on them already - I'm sure you could add more but I was happy with what was on it already tbh

The guy that is visiting Inkoholiks at the moment looks pretty talented: http://inkoholiks.com/guest-artists/ Cosmin Raducanu http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=313242535396576&set=a.157329760987855.45034.128236397230525&type=1

did anyone else go to Cobh to see the Search and Rescue demo?

S-61 winching operations by Brian Clayton, on Flickr

It was really good. lots of lifeboats, helicopters and rescues

gbee · 14-04-2012 10:23pm

Went to see it, made a vid, if it ever renders, I'll post a link.

Disappointed that the new chopper just did one flyby, disappointed that RX117 was so far away, collectively, they missed a beat or two for display purposes as they had an impressive array of craft and personnel in one place.

Did ya see the IAC Pilot upside-down in a half barrel role? 100+knots

They were doing most of the winching from way off. It was a pity really, but at least they were able to do a lot of winching. The last time I was down they did one run I think, today there were quite a few. I took a video of the Air Corps heli dropping the MART onto LE Aoife.
