The Grand Canal is one of my favourite things about Dublin. I find the flowing water brings a certain sense of calmness and serenity to the city (although I’m sure anyone stuck in gridlocked traffic along the canal during rush hour will probably beg to differ!). Traditionally used as a method of transportation, the canal […]

And 2015 was no different. Everything from dodgy accents to […]

Gym users in Dublin will probably know of FlyeFit’s reputation for opening gyms in strange locations, and stamping a distinct style on the inside. For instance, their Ranelagh branch will be familiar to most children of the 1990s as the former site of Il Mondo – in fact, you can still see some of the old […]

With Christmas almost here, we’re all trying to go a little bit easier on the booze. Most of us have our work Christmas parties out of the way and are looking at a relatively quiet one this weekend (unless you’re planning a 12 pubs, of course). Maybe you don’t want to drink that much at all […]
