Relax Paddy, it’s only makey uppy branding by Failte Ireland. It doesn’t actually mean anything.
They have medieval working conditions….
Please tell me broadsheet still pays you. Either per joke or on retainer, you’re too good to do this for free.
Pay me?
They don’t even take my calls any more!
The workers are too good to do it for free to, but their employer sometimes forces them to.
Just wait, next there will be a dealz greggs and costa – British invasion continues
Just as a slightly related aside, I was in Marks and Spencer this morning and I see they’re inviting people to buy special food for bonfire night. A Google search tells me this is Guy Fawlks, an anti Catholic celebration.
A brave pitch in Ireland, I thought.
my first November working in the UK and colleagues asked me if i was coming along to the the (company organised) fireworks and booze-up.
I felt mighty conflicted…
There is high art and low art. Distinguish between them.
Yes, I can imagine seeing that logo must destroy the illusion that you are literally up a road in the middle ages. They had cars and mobile phones and optometrists in medieval times as well I hear.
BURN THE ENTIRE CITY DOWN.
City? Notions!
BURN THE ENTIRE LARGISH TOWN DOWN!!
Noted. I’ll amend my sign.
B. Mac Eneany looks more late-Victorian to me. Shocking.
Oh no! 3 doors away from Argos.
It’s not medieval and it’s not a City.
Kilkenny was granted city status in 1609.
Was that before or after Henry VIII was granted King of Ireland of status?
They actually had a joint ceremony, and there was only a mad session after.
Fupped if I know, bud.
The city is administered by a borough council (and a mayor), which is a level below that of city council in the local government of the state, although the Local Government Act 2001 allows for “the continued use of the description city”. The borough’s population is 8,711, but the majority live outside the borough boundary: the 2011 Irish census gave the total population of the borough and environs as 24,423.
Medieval Supermacs, Medieval Ladbrokes, ye Gods
Medieval supermacs would be great! Massive legs of beef and turkey in snack chests!
What the jaysus am I supposed to be looking at?
Fella on the ladder isn’t wearing any hi viz.
In all the years that I’ve called Ireland’s Ancient East™ my home, I never seen it this bad.
They lost me when I saw they included Limerick in the “East”. I suppose “The bits of the country not on the Wild Atlantic Way” was rejected by the focus group.
When Sports Direct opened in Dublin City Centre council had to take action to get them to remove illegal signage
yeah, but pierre cardin polo shirts for 15 quid..
Label whore. I had to google Pierre Cardin. My non-consumerist credentials fully in tact. Yesss!
Better still, Google his house…
