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!

      Assistance Dogs - Autism: any experiences?

      By JMK · Posted

      https://www.assistancedogs.org.uk/information-hub/assistance-dogs-emotional-support-dogs-and-therapy-dogs/   hello   i’d be interested to understand if anyone.has experience of Assistance Dogs especially for autistic children of different ages for emotional support and therapy   There was a prior thread on this topic on EDF 10 hrs ago but it had limited experiences and there was a (claimed) change in UK legislation in 2019. Whilst the industry appears unregulated/unlicensed, there are several providers (approx 15, perhaps more) who claim to have fully trained dogs or say that they can help families to train a puppy/young dog over the 18-24 months.  The latter obviously comes with a need for strong commitment to the challenge. Costs for a fully trained assistance dog are quoted at £13-15k albeit they claim £23k total cost to train the dog. On the one hand, this could potentially be a useful solution for some families if such a dog was truly trained as their websites claim and such a dog was accepted in public places and schools etc… On the other hand, I don’t think that I’ve ever seen an assistance dog of this type or in this context (only for a blind or partially sighted person) and hence a real risk of fraud or exploitation! The SEN challenge for families coupled with limited resources in schools or from local authorities or the NHS as well as the extremely challenging experience of many families with schools offering little or no support or making the situation worse leaves a big risk of lots of different types of fraud and or exploitation in this area.

      Missing Cat

      By jeffersjd · Posted

      Hi there  We live on Woodwarde Road backing on to Alleyns Top Field.  Our cat Gigi has gone missing — it’s been about 24 hours now. She is a cream Bengal. Could you please check sheds, garages, or anywhere she might have got stuck please? And if you could keep an eye out or share on any local groups/forums, we’d really appreciate it. Photo attached.   Thanks so much! My name is Jeff on 07956 910068.
