Really poorly promoted this year, we would’ve gone to this!
Yeah it’s their fault you didn’t keep track of that.
watch them jump off the quays, hang around until they mug you later that evening
F*&k Off. They are mostly kids and they add great color and atmosphere to that part of the city, and for the most part are pretty decent and engaging with others.

Nana doesn’t like their accents I’d say.
Hello Harbo
saying ‘Hand it over, your fois gras and copy Bulgaria holiday home monthly or your life!’
The tone of these pieces every summer is classist and nasty.
They are kids having fun. The North inner city has enough problems at the moment. I would call this positive.

jaaaambo! what a brilliant day was had
Yeah we really enjoyed Africa Day, the only downside was that there were no ATM’s that I could find and nowhere (besides one clothes seller) took debit cards.
Ah now come on, very few places with stalls will take cards.
Even the baby fair last year, only one guy had a card reader.
Yeah but an ATM would have been a good idea!
But highly unlikely
Not sure why it would be unlikely, but I learned my lesson. Bring cash to these things.
“but I learned my lesson. Bring cash to these things.”
Exactly. Well done.
it wasnt a problem for anyone with the slightest grip on organising themselves. who would have expected an ATM out there? sort your paper out on the way. musta passed loads of em. i bet ur one of those people in petrol stations who pay with card at the til when theres an ATM in the shop.
Why would I queue twice at a petrol station? Once for the ATM and again to pay?
I’m scratching me head on that one too :)
Africa day? wow……. when are the Nigerians having a Ireland day?
Africa is a country now Ted, is it? Ya big silly, I think what you meant is when are the Nigerians having a European Day…. yeah….
Every March 17th, willyhead
thinly veiled racism there, human. having an ireland day in ireland would be beyond stupid. doesnt make any sense. and if they did do that, you’d be on here bleatin on about them tryna steal paddys day. the africans are grand, leave them alone. as are the chinese and whoever else you have a grudge against for no reason.
“thinly veiled racism there, human”
I’d say overtly racist more like.
As long as you guys feel all warm and fuzzy inside that alllll that matters……
nothin about a bare-faced racist makes me feel warm and fuzzy.
I can see accusing people of racism makes you feel all warm and fuzzy…….. Virtue Signal much?
weird. for a start, im not accusing you of being racist, im literally saying that you are racist, and thusly calling you racist. doesnt make me feel fuzzy, dunno why it would. you should try a different angle, coz this ones not workin for ya. at the end of the day, ur havin a go at there being an ‘africa day’ in ireland, and bizarely want there to be an ireland day also or instead. thrown by nigerians. why? when its paddys day abroad, do u think the next day all the irish there should throw a day for that country? see i dont think this is the actual issue for u, i think the issue for u is u dont like foreigners celebrating their heritage in this country. but why? come on out now and back up what ur sayin.
Well said 15 cents.
Mods please do your job with the ‘human’ posts
Did anyone try the Kenyan food…. damn queue was longer than a free One Direction gig announcement!
So… I ate a load of mini-donuts instead…. as the queue was really short…. :(
Yeah, it was great – my wife was thrilled, she got to have some of her favourite childhood food, my boys enjoyed it too. We got there nice and early and there was no queue.
Didn’t get there until after 2 ….still, great day, super afternoon :)
Aw nice! Is Mrs Garthica from Kenya?
Africa Day is a great idea :)
