That's because nothing there was insulting there to either the shop or its employees, at least not that I saw.

Cheers mate, I hoped you would take that comment in good fun!

Haven't been into the shop on Parnell Street much recently but I had noticed the missing tanks when I dropped in a week or two ago. I had assumed that they were going to be moving them downstairs again, the way it used to be. Obviously I was wrong.

I didn't know that you had stopped working there, Rory. The shop will be the worse for it.

Aw thanks very much! There are still lots of people that work in the shops though that are excellent at what they do.

I haven't been to the parnell store for a good few while now.

Used to pop in to chat with Drew (I think it was his presence that originally took the store into the realms of a good selection of fish), then later with Gav (and I'm also a reptile keeper, so had a few things to chat to Gav with), a rather pleasant young lady, and some of the other guys (of whom I am not always certain of their names).

So, will that mean that there will be an even more limited selection of fish in the city centre? or might there be a revival.

Not too certain if I know who wolfsberg is.....but maybe we chatted at sometime. So, I'll say Hi.

I used to visit this LFS on a weekly, and would buy fish and dry good almost every time i was there, but that was before they moved everything from downstairs. Since the move about of everything, i have not really visited the store, as the number of tanks has been reduced, and the variety of fish has been reduced greatly also.

Soz Gav.......I didn't know you back in them days when Drew was there.

I'd known Drew from a shop in Monkstown, and so he was the only one I recognised when I ventured into Parnell Street.

So, I'll take back my comments and say.....

due to me not knowing anyone else in Parnell Street, I, in retrospective correctness, mistakingly cited Drew without mentioning Gavin's name as forwarding the fish collection there.

If Justine found out that I'd done you mis-justice then I'd be nagged.

But, that doesn't explain where you where hiding in those days, Gav.....

I actually remember the first time of meeting you....November 2006 (we'd just got back from some falconary in Ashford Castle....not that we are millionaires to afford staying there loike).
Justine thought you were a thoroughly pleasant fellow.
