The Church is Burning Down

Heres an exclusive via Steven in Skibbereen: some time in the next hour or so, the Church Restaurant will be a smouldering heap.

The Church attracted some interest when it opened a couple of years ago, by the well known owner of Currans on Adelaide Street in Cork. Currans is a restaurant with a twist, as it is made up of radiators, staircase, tables, etc., which all came from well known Cork landmarks (cinemas, hospitals, schools) that were closed down. The Church has a gimmick of its own – as the name would imply, the restaurant is (was) inside a church.

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust.

    Was this pyramid scheme related?

    Surprisingly not… a middle-aged Moldovan man got caught for it. It was in the examiner yesterday.

    James – how can one tell that this wasn’t pyramid related? Just because there is Moldovian connection how can we conclude that that there wasn’t a pyramid in sight? Think Albania James, think Albania. Whatever the reason, I am heading back to the kitchen for a second helping of turkey………
