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!

    • It has come to this author’s attention that the world of 4+ admissions — that most enigmatic of educational rites — continues to bewilder even the most composed of parents. Fear not. For in a former life, I was not merely a humble observer, but a seasoned educator of over twenty years, and Head of Pre-Prep for a distinguished dozen. Now, with quill exchanged for touchscreen, I have taken to that most modern of salons — Instagram — to dispense guidance, answer frequently whispered questions, and illuminate the shadowy corners of school selection with clarity and calm. Each post bears my signature twist: a blend of insight, levity, and the occasional raised eyebrow. Should you find yourself adrift in the sea of admissions, I suggest you peruse my latest dispatch. It may well be the lifeline you seek. The Delicate Dilemma of the Summer-born 4+ Scholars Yours in solidarity and scholastic savvy, Lord Pencilton  🎩✏️
    • Perhaps Gooseygreeny was not familiar with the wildlife before Gala was imposed on the park, since when its value to wildlife has deteriorated. The Park had never been disturbed before, as the council had respected it as a Site of Importance for Nature Conservation, so only the Common was licensed by them as a site for events. The first time Gala held their event, there was a tree with woodpeckers nesting in it right in the middle of the main field they used and thrushes, blackbirds and great tits nesting within the shrubs and trees immediately surrounding the field. The woodpeckers were thriving on ants from the anthills in the grass. To those of us who used to enjoy watching the wildlife, it was very obviously a Site of Importance for a variety of birds. Despite being accessed by the public and their dogs, it had been relatively undisturbed,  which was one of the main reasons why it was so special and why I have been opposed to the Gala festival being held during the bird nesting season.
    • So dangerous!    Can you be more specific about the road this was in and when you report it?  Maybe there’s some CCTV footage available
