We were always more of a friend of 18-6-12, but alas it is but a distant memory now.

yeah its a great song. I'm not very clued in with music, I'm 40 so I'm an auld lad but I love songs where there's a haunting overtone and something different about the song and The National are good at that type of music.
I heard it in the closing stages of an episode of The Wire I think.
I'm not sure how it works when you are making a movie or a TV Show and you need to choose the right song/part of the song at just the the right moment to convey the mood of what your watching.
But I always have a massive respect for the ones who do that well, the scenes where they marry the scene to the music and it just fits.
You get it in movies coz they spend millions doing it but in TV Shows its more hit and miss but The Wire had it. And to be fair Sons of anarchy had it but the best I saw was the way the office did it, the scene with dawn and tim and yazoo only you, brilliant. That scene with yazoo playing had me wanting to fall in love.
If you take the music away from these moments they're next to nothing.
God the beer is kicking in.....

Most of my music collection is on the back of having heard it perfectly matched to a scene on tv or in a film.

I’m awake at my usual time of course, but someone is bringing me breakfast in bed for a change!

Lying in bed still. Lazy and a bit hungover. Don't think today will be overly productive but sure screw it

Just home and couchside, out all day again and my card is seeing way more action than I am lol. The shopping centre was quiet compared to usual but queues for most of the clothes shops, people are definitely doing the Christmas shopping, the queue for the retail park was shocking at 11am and still the same way now, also the roads leading to Smyths are bumper to bumper.
Think I'll have a refreshment, it's one of those days....again. ☺️

That's because they can't handle the online orders so they keep taking the option down, which just leads to more panic.... The rumours of the schools closing for two weeks over midterm also not helping the heartrate.

I wonder if December shopping will be a ghost town.

I do think even if we go to level 5 toystores may still stay open I think it would be career suicide to close them this side of Christmas.

Re. Smyths..The click and collect option isn't available which is a pain tbh, surely if there was a queue for people collecting separate to the shoppers it would be beneficial all round.
I reserved in Argo and collected this morning, very well organised in there imo..queue is outside and only a handful of people inside, pay for your item, put your receipt on the counter and collect when your number is called, no contact with anyone really, I thought it was very safe there, no catalogues available unfortunately.

Yeah both online and click and collect in smyths is going on and off availability.
Thankfully mine are still too young to fully understand so they'll "get what they are given" "and be happy about it"

Argos and littlewoods definitely alternatives alright. Boots are also stocking mothercare stuff too.... So I think we'll survive

Relaxing on the sofa, admittedly still a bit rusty from last nights craft beers. Somehow summoned the energy to cook some lovely garlic prawns with some garlic bread which mopped up the lovely garlic oil a treat at the end. Twas the biz, little tapas type snack.
Magic.
But that was as productive as I managed all day. God damn you tasty craft beers, I mean I selected you, paid for you, gave you a lease of life, lovingly chilled you in the fridge before consuming you with gentle yet enthusiastic passion and THIS is how you repay me???!!!

Roll on tomorrow.....

Homeside chilling after a lovely afternoon meeting a friend I haven’t seen in ages at Ashtown Castle in the Phoenix Park in the lovely October sunshine.

Hope yis all are having a relaxing weekend.

I'm exhausted. Got loads of work done in the garden. My back will be bad tonight.. it's bad already but worth it I suppose. Tired now and deciding on take away food.

If you need anyone to chat to during the early night, im here anyway
I'm actually mad for a chat this weekend. I'm really feeling the pinch this week with these restrictions. I hate to admit it out loud but I'm feeling a bit lonely for company. There's so many friends I haven't seen in months now and my boys activities have all drawn to an end. These were great for meeting up with other parents just for a natter on a sideline.
Usually I'd have something planned for the future like us going to Dublin to visit our friends or to Kilkenny to others.
So yeah, what I'm saying is if anyone fancies chats I'm here

It is certainly. If I knew an end date, I would be better but this endless absence of being able to interact with people I miss is just hard. Calla, I feel sick by those numbers too. Stay safe folks.

Gotta agree with you DD regarding Argos. Life can go on for now if other shops get their **** sorted. They have it so well organized. I've made a few visits in recent weeks and I'm very impressed with it. Stress free. I've only visited midweek so no queue.

Have you got a reservation number or do you need to look, they ask. If you have a reservation number, you are told to sanitize the hands and go to a particular pay point, do the biz, slap down the receipt on a marked out area, stand on your marked out spot, staff stamp the receipt, you grab and go. So fooking simple and safe. A combo online and in person system that works great. I hope they thrive.

Deskside watching 60 days in on netflixs again.

I'm watching Michael Palin and he's in Russia. It's from the early 90s I'd say. I was just thinking how grim and dreary the town looks but then realised how wonderful it was because there was no Covid. People can stand beside each other and talk and do things and have choice. Stupid Covid

Are you mocking me ? I edited immediately and it came up as Argo and I couldn't be bothered editing again lol.

Couchside with a hwb, just watched the Late Late as I wanted to watch Kathleen Watkins and the boy that had Covid, I shed tears during both interviews, I've always thought Kathleen was a lovely person and the interview more than confirmed it imo. The boy and his mother gave a very candid description of what happened, he's Covid free but still has very serious side affects, lovely family. Rad Hurley and a fabulous singer called Andrea did an opera song and it was gorgeous...I'm not promoting the Late Late but I enjoyed it, very melancholy here, I've just poured a beer, it's the little things.

Nearest Argo to where I am is on Nordside of Dubland.

I have no doubt a large cohort of natives refer to it as indicated.

Thats another thing about Argo - its not exactly attractive to the light fingered
