I am a chartered civil engineer and a PhD student at UCD. I live in Dublin.
I enjoy brewing beer, reading books, playing old video games, and watching old sitcoms. I wish I was on a train.

This is me in what I think was Flanagan’s in 1989.
Think the last time I was there was 1992.

“Full sugar” Fanta in Ireland, 15g in a 330ml can, and extra sweetened with aspartame. Compared with 32g in a 500ml bottle in France, so 21g per 330ml. And no aspartame listed in the ingredients.

PSA Fanta still has sugar in France. It is drinkable! Going to check the Orangina next, if that has sugar I may just have to move here.

Just finished this one by @andreacarter.bsky.social and had a thought. Given that I’m 43 and went to Patrician College Ballyfin, would I have been classmates to some of those characters?

I love the smell of bitumen in the morning!
Nice to see something concrete (eh asphalt?) after the disruption caused by the DART closure over the weekend. Sydney Parade level crossing is looking well. Well done Irish Rail.

There is music playing on DAB in Dublin, I repeat there is music on DAB. Also, thanks to there being a DAB signal again my clock radio updated the daylight saving time automagically for the first time in years.
