Is Dublin normally this bleak?

Spent 17yrs in Dublin. Not always wet like that clip, a bit more so than here, but some stunning weather(for that part of the world) too.

To be honest, the cold didn't bother me, probably prefer it being temperate, but back here in Tauranga I feel the cold a lot more than in Dublin. Must be an age thing!

Saw The Pogues at The Point in Dublin, Dec 20, 2001. Have the tshirt somewhere. Had loved them for many a year prior to that. My flatmate's brother from Oz dossed on our floor for a while, doing a bit of busking. One night in a pub he got chatting to a fella, who bought him a pint as he left, barman said "do you know that was Shane MacGowan?". How tf he didn't recognize I'll never know!

And it would have been before he got his teeth done?
