Keir Starmer wants Britain to be both an "AI superpower" and a "clean energy superpower". He can't have it both ways, says Ben Pile. AI is hugely energy intensive and inconsistent with the path Net Zero is leading us down.

Blackrock Coffee Houses

DISGRUNTELED CONNOISSEURS

I'm leaving for Italy.

I can't take anymore of this.

Blackrock is the worst place in the country for good daytime restaurants and coffee shops.

Encore:
“You want it when”?…. “You’ll be lucky to get it at all” from Encore in the Blackrock Shopping Centre.
Service 0 out of 10
Food Inconsistent ranging from 2-8 out of 10.

Zucinni:
Now only serve “large” cappuccino at €2.75.
A customer was heard to say “Shove It”. A coffee connoisseur prefers regular.
2 out of 10.


Roche’s Store:
Excellent Service. Excellent breakfast. Cappuccino is not great and only serve melted cheese lunches.
What if you don’t eat cheese?
Service: 9 out of 10.
Overall; 6 out of 10.


Café Java:
Food below par.
Service Lame
Cappuccino Poor
Service 3 out of 10.
Overall 5 out of 10

Insomnia:

Don’t even try and get a seat. 3 tables, obviously reserved for their 3 regulars!
