The council should just ban cyclists from parking there and remove those barriers. Problem solved, yay!
Well no. Cyclists are sound. Chopped is crap.
chopped is crap
fresh my arse
Whats wrong with chopped? Better than most fast food I would have thought?
I was very very I’ll after
ill
Jesus, ill from a bowl of lettuce. What are they doing with the veggies in there?
It’s actually easier to get ill from raw food than cooked food
The prices are too much for a bowl of rabbit food
The problem with Chopped is this…. Every single mouthful tastes exactly the same as the last and it’s endless. It’s boring and not at all enjoyable. Now, if you want to eat a really healthy piece of fastish food, go to Cocu.
or Pang ! delicious
Kevin st
Or Sprout in Ballsbridge. Tasty!
I agree, food is muck. It’s the stuff they put in subway sambos except they stick it in a wrap or plastic bowl
I think you need a big sweaty hug from a lycra-clad cyclist.
Exactly
Throw them in the canal
+1000 so irritating to try to get past all the bloody bikes parked this way and that
How are the bikes the problem here? For God’s sake?
If you look at the picture, the metal yokes that the bikes are chained to are a good 75cm from the road (there is a curbstone and full slab between them and the road) this reduces the room for pedestrians.
I haven’t been there recently, but there should be enough room for a wheelchair/buggy to pass between the hording + bikes.
This is a non-issue.
(I’m not blaming the bikes, just explaining – like)
It’s been like that for years – before Chopped were there
This is true
Very true and when their closed and the furniture is taken in. It’s a very slippy spot when wet with those old small glass cellar tiles set in the footpath.
There is loads of space on the right!! And they are in line with the Georgian fronts in the buildings 2 doors down, which they were at some stage. Attention seeking nonsense.
If you can’t fit through that space, you probably need to go into Chopped more often and sort out your diet.
Or get up out of your wheelchair, right? What’s the big deal?
Exactly the point I was making. Thank you for putting words in my mouth.
What point were you making?
I feel like you missed the entire point of that exchange.
the runs it will give you will sort you out sharpish
Try and get by there with a buggy and see how smart your comment is then.
A buggie or a skip?
How big is your baby!
There’s tons of room
Said with all the certainty of someone who’s never had to navigate the city centre with a buggy.
Mildred a pal of mine just had her second baba and has decided to forgo the buggy altogether as it was such a nightmare with the first. slings all the way!
Actually, I’m a fan of the sling myself. The child is thankfully at an age where she can be dragged around by the hand while I ignore her protests.
I also have to say, I’m a big fan of getting the kid onto the back of the bike, and they she likes it too.
A sling or a backpack was always just the thing, but kids get too big to carry while still needing a buggy for when they get tired, and slings and backpacks don’t suit everyone.
If there is a wheelchair or buggy that is going to take up all available space meaning people with either have to wait at the other end or step out into the road. Really, when a private business is taking over more of the path than is available to walk on I don’t know why you would defend that.
The point is it is not the path, it is their private property. The issue, if there is one, is the placement of the bikes racks.
the property lines have been sawn into the pavement , chopped hoarding in on their own private property, you’ll see this all over Dublin City ,
That type of logic and reasoning by opening your eyes wont gain attention and increase twitter followers now will it??
I’m STUNNED at how popular this place has become. Lettuce in a plastic container. Who’d da thunk it.
This is okay, but those sandwich board signs sitting on the pavement outside every bloody coffee place in town drive me bonkers.
Just knock them over if they are unreasonably in your way out on the path, they soon get the message.
If they put lettuce between them you’d have a sandwich bored
That’s always been there. quit yer b*tch*n.
It’s the Begger-Blok-5000 – as in, unfortunate people begging on the the street can’t beg money from the customers inexplicably eating salad outdoors on the diesel polluted street..
Widen the path … cars out of the city centre

List of licences here https://data.gov.ie/dataset/street-furniture-licences-dublin-city
Don’t see them on it but doesn’t seem to be anythine newer than 2011 so not sure actually how accurate the list is.
If they do have a licence it is DCC’s fault anyway
