They're going to make a fortune



The funfair is coming to Blanchardstown.

I went for a wander around the site today where they're still setting up. For the next 10 days there'll be screams, loud music, noise, flashing lights and traffic a plenty almost outside our front door.





















Have to say, fair play to this guy. I don't know if I could take the height.





Looks like it's going to be fun. Whenever it opens.





See you there, maybe?

Maybe we should buy D15 a dictionary?

Why don't people bother to spell or punctuate properly any more?

I know Rick O' Shea agrees on this - he's got loads of posts about it. The Chancer does too. I still have to remind myself of this page but you know, just sometimes you have to laugh.

Like at this in the office supplies shop in Blanchardstown:



or this in Eason's, also in Blanchardstown:



or the classic, phonetic approach to sign writing... also taken in, erm, Blanchardstown funny enough...



You know the old joke of the earthquake in a Dublin suburb? It may come to something like that being involved. Or maybe with this much blogged about Emergency booklet, they could send out a dictionary?

I'm pedantic, I know, I know. Sure 'tis little else I have to be worried about!

Thanks to Niamh for pointing all those out to me (Well if I didn't tell you, she would...)
