    As far as I can remember, the monthly passes work out somehow that a few days, or even a week, is free.

    Some months are 5 week months,thats how ya get free weeks

    Exactly, the monthly passes are great, there's no long term commitment, which I'm glad of as I've been working in Canada for the past two months!

    But annual memberships for the Park Hotel and Minella is how they make their money as most people stop going after a few weeks!

    They love those people!........half the reason i wont pay full wack,work too many long hours to benefit from it

    I've never seen her and I'm going in and out that road every day.

    Now, the large woman that's always wearing the Chelsea jersey. She scares the shít out of me. If I see her during the day or after a night out, I still get so damn scared.

    I don't think it's in the Charter (if it's not, then that's my fault! :o ) but it's probably best not to chat about members of the public here. It's most likely they're not posters here, so they wouldn't be able to speak for themselves. Some people like their privacy too! :)

    I think I know who you're on about, often see her walking up the western road/Glenconner. Not a clue who she is though

    Ah yes.. You're not truly from Clonmel unless you've seen her out and about .. That's all I'm gonna say, few videos on youtube with her in them ;)

    Jaysus,

    Dannos is closed down again.

    Quote from their Facebook:
    Hey guys, we're going to close the club for the immediate future. Apologies to those DJs who were waiting for their chance to shine in the battle of the DJs. The market is just not there for a nightclub in clonmel at the minute but who know what the future may hold.

    Fairly grim reading.

    Meh, was always going to happen. It was fairly empty the last 2 times I was in there. They didn't really seem to make a big effort to get people through the doors tbh. Most clubs have drink promos and events but Dannos expected to just open the doors and the punters would just roll in.

    I should have made myself clearer. This post wasn't just an idle comment. It was an instruction made as a moderator.

    Did terrible business. One of the reasons for the decline is that people are going to go where it's free. They don't want to shell out money to go somewhere that is a bit dead. That's why O' Keeffes is booming. Another is that there was little pull from the Dannos management.

    Whether it was a joke or not, a few weeks ago, I heard there were around 20/30 people in Dannos.

    Last Saturday, They said it themselves on their status:
    .in this business there's not a whole lot of time to give things a chance. 25 people at 1am last weekend..with punters telling us we're not going to last cause they "can bring their own drink into xxxx" ...not going to name any other premises...but you can see where we're coming from.

    The company is called Boston Scientific.

    They are looking for people in these areas:

    Manufacturing Engineer
    Quality Manager
    Lean Engineer
    Operational Excellence Manager
    Senior Project Engineer
    Software Developer
    Processes Development Manager

    Also, I don't think they employ through Recruitment Agencies (I could be corrected on that though). :)

    Its called VJ's now, it's owned by Vinnie Mansell, who own Bates, the railway bar, the lay out is the same, including the pool and snooker tables, which I spend many a hour on back in the day! :D

    Rumor has it, they're re-opening the Bookies that used to be next to it, but that's only hearsay at the moment.

    Good to see it back, it was always a favorite pub of mine growing up, and I'm looking forward to popping in for a pint and a game of snooker when I'm home.

    It was a great spot for watching sport and the craic when Michael Boland had it,but the owners that took it over then got rid of the sky sport,the darts,and the place never recovered The current owner struggled as well.The small bar at the front used to be great for soccer.Great for the Sunday 4pm kickoff.The beer garden was great,but thats all history now.The way thing's are,it may well have happened whoever was at the helm.Sign of the times I guess.
