This afternoon.
South Anne Street, Dublin 2.
Telly’s Lucy Kennedy joined the queue at Eddie Rocket’s diner today to enjoy a 30th Birthday Special meal at 1989 prices. Hundreds of people gathered to enjoy a meal of Classic Burger, Classic Fries and a Soda-all for only €5.89.
In fairness.
Name that jammer, anyone?

Lucy Kennedy is the most irritating woman in Ireland
Surely Regina Doherty and Jospeha Madigan run her close!
Nonsense. That trophy goes to Deirdre O’Kane doing the ads for Appliances Delivered
have you ever had the misfortune hearing Lucy Kennedy on radio Nova’s morning show?
My bleeding ears have not yet recovered
I was just about to nominate Deirdre.
Never heard that ad though..
It’s a series of ads going on a few months now. Oh the humanity, it was bad enough when that eejit Dermot Whelan was doing them
Brendan O’Carroll’s wife makes me want to punch a baby.
1989 prices or business as usual?
£5.89 in punts in 1989 was surely a fortune? Has Eddie Rockets actually gotten comparatively cheaper over the decades?
Average Dublin House Price in 1989 = €66,781
Average Dublin House Price in 2019 = €375,862
Increase 462.83%
Say what you want about Eddie, but a Classic Burger, Classic Fries and a Soda doesn’t cost a corresponding €42.49!
Housing is a bit of an outlier though to be fair. I’d be curious as to how it compares to more “normal” goods.
Using the pint index and not forgetting €/£ conversions, it’s actually surprisingly accurate.
Then at £4.70 (€5.89) and now at €13 the Classic Meal costs around the price of 2.5 reasonably priced pints. Simples!
And no, I’m not that busy.
I’m not so good on vintage american cars; a Caddy perhaps?
Some kind of Buick. Hope those stickers are peelable, I used to work for a company who loaned out cars for shows and the worst part of the job was peeling those stickers off with a heatgun after events.
Acetone?
Genuine question – Where’s the beef for the burgers coming from?
Cows.
That is a pedestrianised street.
Also today was Make Way Day:
“Make Way Day” is a campaign that brings the disability and wider community together to consider the needs of people with disabilities in the public spaces we all share.
It is led by the Disability Federation of Ireland and is a unique collaboration across Ireland and the voluntary and local government sectors. But most of all it’s about people with disabilities.
But everyone can get involved. And everyone should get involved because we’ve discovered thoughtlessness is the big issue. We’ve complied a terrible top three of obstacles that stop people with disabilities in their tracks:
1. Cars parked on footpaths
2. Bicycles illegally parked
3. Bins left on footpaths
Another 7 grand for a few hours work for Lucy. Well done.
Ah here. Was at an Eddies earlier for a milkshake and there wasn’t a peep about 30th birthday and 1989 prices!
…you’re not Lucy.
yummmm brain freeze :)
Eddie rocket’s = empty pockets
That would be a 1959 Buick Electra. Would love to get a spin in one. I think there all in Cuba nowadays (except this one).
