Ah! I've had those. They're tasty. Yeah I'd definitely have those with a fry instead of toast or farls.

And hash browns are tasty!!

Toast on a fry? As in toasted sliced pan? You've been spending too long in Dublin my friend. Believe me, we're not all nutters and we don't all have toast on a fry.

If it isn't fried it doesn't go on the plate. Beans permitable, though it's better if they're served in a side dish as this gets around the no non-fry on the plate rule.

I will say though, you can take your fried tomato and shove it up your bangle.

Sliced pan fried in butter. None of your toasted **** for me. It's not a mixed grill we're having.

Also known as potato bread.

All said, my home made potato, onion, paprika and mozzarella hash browns trump farls I'm afraid.

Also I find farls have a tendency to pass to touch. Wait, sorry that's earls...!

Ah that must be the D4 fry!

Paprika and mozzarella....

What else is on this fry of yours? Smoked salmon? Served on a bed of spinach with some balsamic vinegar?

Ah jesus smoked salmon should be served with proper brown bread, a few capers, and a wedge of lemon.

It is actually quite nice

Harvey's Point Hotel do a really delicious one with big chunks of real ham, like Christmas ham. Perfection.

I've wanted to say this for a long time, and I don't know how everyone will react.

I'd happily eat a fry with spud bread and no soda bread, BUT not vice versa. Should I get my passport stamped on the way out?

Also always wanted to make home made black and white pudding...

What are you saying? Potato bread is more important to you than a farl with your fry? That seems acceptable to me.

It's just so much more integral, in my opinion. I know lack of farl makes it less of a fry on a technical level, but potato bread is just out of this world.

Tbh, most of it never makes it to the frying pan. Often falls out of the packet... Into my mouth...

Good places for a decent breakfast in dublin then.

Gerrys on Montague St....epic old style cafe with no frills, just good honest grub and plenty of it.

Matt the Rashers in kimmage...packed all the time with queues for takeaway breakfasts. Yep breakfast to take away!!

The Glenside pub in Churchtown...only found this recently. Rashers seem to be bbq flame grilled!! Hits the spot alright.

You should take this opportunity to run the hoover over the house, do a bit of dusting, clean the kitchen out and maybe paint the fence.

You and I have had a very similar couple of days. Finished the Night Manager but only halfway through Daredevil. Both are pretty good. I'm calling it, this is the greatest ever age of television drama.

Reading the last few pages here living in Devon, where even Rankin's "bread" is hard to find, brought a tear to my eye.

Anyone able to recommend any wedding videographers? This task has been delegated to me! :pac:

A couple I know had a videographer using a drone and it was ****ing epic. My only input although I can chase them up if you want.

Don't do it and save €1-2k. I'm partly happy we got it given several people are no longer with us and I'd like to be able to see footage of them and watch the speeches again.

But the truth is I've watched it twice in a few years. I don't know anyone who has watched their video more than 5 times and that goes for people who are married 20 years.

Judgement call on your part but definitely one to think about. Nothing to stop you just getting a good hired video and a tripod to video the ceremony and speeches.

What do you think of no band? People keep telling us no band is relatively common now, and we've got a good DJ who can do the whole night.

Depends what you want and the crowd that's attending. Bands are expensive and they aren't for everyone. My brother has played a lot of weddings and sometimes the crowd really couldn't give a ****e about the band and would be just as happy with a DJ, other times they're calling for so many more songs that the DJ barely gets a look in.

I find with most weddings unless the band is amazing people aren't really up dancing until the DJ comes on anyway.

Everyone loved the band we had, all up dancing like mad things. The guys were great too, have a big repertoire and will do the stuff you want them too. A good band is great!

awec

We're not fussed on a band, my family wouldn't give a feck and hers would dance to a man banging a tin bath so think it's probably unnecessary. Leaning toward no band at all and going with our DJ all night.

I like bands. You can go to a nightclub and dance to DJ music whenever you want, but having live music is great and it's your wedding. If people aren't getting up to dance, then the bride and groom can start asking people to come up and dance with them, no one can refuse!

Personally I'd always opt for a band, but I'd go along and listen to them play in advance (that's what we did for 2 - 3 bands). Talk to them about what people like and you're set.

Bang a few tunes on the old iPod and stick it into the hotels PA system, sorted!
Actually, 1 of the weddings I went to in recent years had no DJ, had 2 bands and both had the crowd hopping.
Last wedding I went to was a cracking day until the band started....C&W and the first song before the couples dance was Wagon Wheel , I just shouted fck off and went home.....surprisingly enough Mrs Pink Fairy was none too pleased when she arrived home that night
