I know the feeling - I've been supporting England's cricket for years .... hopeless cause (almost).

That's because of Felipe isn't it?

Well the tourist nightmare that is Temple Bar reverts to a more arty-boho vibe in the daytime with bits of random music and arts centres around the place


Wander up Grafton Street and look down one of the side streets to see a statue of Phil Lynott, opposite wich I always have a pint (of coke naturally) in Mcdaids, the regular haunt of Behan and his cronies

Harry Street ! That's teh name of the street with McDaid's on it


I was going to mention the Green but thought "Dublin - October" etc....


Some good solid bookshops around to have a browse - I find the stock to be often different to UK shops

Where they meet the team that knocked Ireland out, and beat France... Will be a tough one! Stand a chance though, which is more than can be said for England against the aussies, although I expect them to play better than they did against South Africa.

I don't know if this is strictly touristy - but you could do worse than get yourself into Superquinn for a fabby coffee slice - as recommended by our own dear Dulwichmum.

Darling Mr Mockney,


The only place to go to while away an afternoon in Dublin is the Terrace Lounge at The Westbury Hotel - just off Grafton Street. You can look down at the crowds mulling about in the cold weather, read a book, listen to the piano playing in the background, have the most amazing high tea (or smoked salmon on lovely home made brown bread) and some of the best Guinness in Dublin. When there are queues to get in to every coffee shop in town - the Terrace is always tranquil and civilised and cultured. Order Mrs Mockney a glass of fizz and put your feet up. It isn't even expensive!

    • Thanks jazzer, jazzer,  Jazzer 😀 I don't know either of those pubs, believe it or not, so I will google the Heaton Arms, thank you (and thanks for the tip about the easiest way!) ETA: Well, I googled it and apparently it was demolished in 2005 🤣 but I guess it was somewhere near Heaton Road. ETA again: It looks like I can get a 63 or 363 from the stop near the end of Barry Road, so assuming that's open that would be easier.
    • Niko hardly needs another recommendation but we use him regularly. He's good value, he turns up when he says - or tells you if he can't - and definitely knows what he is doing. 
    • Ian the guy who used to own the garage left last year. The place is run by someone else now. Ian was our reliable mechanic for many years, a sad loss. We now use Turners on Barry Road.   
    • Agreed that Niko is really good: he was helpful and explained everything in detail, and did a good job fixing the problem I had. He was also honest rather than trying to drum up a bigger (more expensive) job for himself by telling me everything needed replacing etc. He charged a very reasonable rate. Will definitely call him when I need a plumber again and would recommend!
