    I work in West Limerick and the proliferation of Trad music in every aspect of life is very strong. Nearly all children learn something, concertina being a widespread favourite along with the banjo. It's great to see.

    It's one of the best things about West Limerick life :) I was at the Wille Clancy festival earlier in the summer and met the whole of Ardagh and Carrigkerry there! I always felt there was a huge missed opportunity with the Limerick 2020 Culture bid to completely ignore such a wonderful and unique part of Limerick heritage. I doubt any of the Limerick city culture clique though have ever been to the rambling house in Knockfierna or a Glensharrold lock in!

    Phone scammers at it again. Had a call from Serbia today. Didn't answer and it rang off quickly.

    My mother answered a call claiming to be BOI credit card section. She was told there were some suspect purchases and could she confirm them. They then gave the first 4 digits of the card expecting her to finish it, luckily my mother worked in the bank and new it was suspect, the first 4 digits of the cards are all the same.

    Should try a call blocking app. Using one myself that's handy enough and let's you block calls by dialling codes, so get a call from Serbia you can then block all calls from Serbia.

    I had one of those apps. Might have actually posted about it here before. Turned out it was more annoying than the scam calls themselves.

    Went to a good few events of the Elemental festival over the weekend and really enjoyed them. A real quirky and different festival with something for everyone. Hope it continues and grows.

    The Old Stand on Henry Street has gotten very popular with the Mary I crowd since the end of last semester. Fair play to them because it looks like they're doing a good trade having given the outside a lick of paint and putting on a good few deals.

    I'd say since Scott's closed down that's probably the next nearest for them.

    Don't get me started on Gah lads I could be here for the night. It's the cocky club half-zip & skinny tracksuit generation who think think they can do whatever they want that are always at fault.

    Shared this in another thread on the cycling forum, but as its Limerick, it does have some relevance here too, and the wheelchair user is completely right.

    It's too dangerous to cycle on the road is what i've been told by the pavement cyclists.

    That's definitely a real issue. Shannon Bridge would be a case in point. Lots of people, including kids and elderly, cycle on the footpath on this because the road is far too dangerous. You could easily put in a segregrated cycle lane in both directions on it and eliminate the problem.

    General question:
    This crowd that bucket collect in the city, 'The Big Issue', surely it's common knowledge at this stage that they're a shower of scammers?!?

    I don't think it's as dangerous as its made out to be. Once you own your lane there shouldn't be a problem. You are a valid road user and should be respected as such. Sure its a narrow stretch for a bike user but once you don't let yourself be bullied on it, you're fine.
