  1. Good to see the photos back.

    That is very true about the fathers and the kids. Plus, people are slightly thinner. Spending time with kids will do that to you (if only because they steal your food).

    Seriously though, SUVs were very fattening, as most of them are in hock nowadays and parents and kids are consequently walking to school, it is not surprising they are getting thinner.

  2. SDaedalus,
    Do you not remember that the skules are on holidays now.
    Teachers drive taxis during their long Summer holidays.
    Thats why things are so hard for the poor taxi drivers,many full time drivers are forced to live for a month or so in their Spanish villas until the teachers go back to skule.
    It not fare !

  6. I did not know about the teachers. The double-jobbing in the teaching profession is only shocking. Do they not have enough on their hands correcting Leaving Cert scripts?

    PS: this would explain why all the taxi drivers I've met over the last month or two have been very cranky. They must be teachers.

    PPS: alternatively, maybe I just don't tip enough.

Dublin city thriving on the fusion of culture and commerce. It is a haven for tourists.Dublin has successfully kept its old world charms with its castles and museums. It is the cultural and historical capital of the Ireland.
