Dublin

So we were in Dublin at the weekend, hello to anyone who was at the party and reading this. Really nice to see old friends and connect in with Dublin. I lived in Dublin for a year about 10 years ago when the celtic tiger was getting into gear its such a diffeent place now. Even in my twenties I remember going as I had a friend studying in trinity and what really struck me then was how everyone wore old clothes , everyone looked very second hand. A bit like people in Toulouse now, all hanging about waiting for something to do.

Now it's another story what you are struck by is just how well turned out everyone is shiney shoes and cool trousers. Oh and the LUAS imigine Belfast with a light railway system? Can't remember where it is now but there is a proposal for transport going down the green walk way in East belfast and what was proposed a bus route. Talk about translink not wanting to loose their almost monopoly .........catch a grip Belfast needs to jump forward not backward decisions made now have a big impact in the future.We want innovation.............we want it now.

But its always good to take a trip to Dublin to get the head showered..............thanks for the opportunity Peter if your reading this and happy Birthday again.................................
