    7: Times I've listened to the new Carrie Underwood album....today
    6.50: €'s spend on the student special in Golden Mountain. Beef & Black bean. Mmmmm.

    How would you like your first insult of the day?:p

    Swiftly followed by my first yellow card of the day :D

    I would genuinely hate for my 15000th post to be in a yellow/red card. :o

    So if you can make the insult humorous/entertaining, you can fire away for free. Just this once. ;)

    Guys, does anyone have a usb 3.0 cable I could borrow/buy. Looks like this: http://www.lindy.ie/lindyshop/pictures/31892big.jpg

    Or know anywhere for definite that I could get one! :)


    PC World, Maplin etc should all stock them. Be way cheaper to order one online though.

    They don't AFAIK :/

    And it was the escalaters next to the stairs that go down.

    You lazy shyte :D I just rang PC World and they say they do stock USB 3.0 cables. Girl on the phone says that a Belkin USB 3.0 cable is €19.99 and that there are some generic brands there also.

    Nah humorous/entertaining does not work for me. I was thinking along the lines of hugely offensive to the point that it would ignite Boardsie street fights. :p

    Time to make a few more calls then.


    Harvey Norman (061) 422 800 . €19.99 for a 18m USB 3 cable and the guy who looks after that apartment is called Tony. They have 5 in stock at the moment and the brand is Belkin.


    Rang PC World again and was told the same price for a Belkin cable.:confused:

    18m :O I only need a small one thats only like 1/2 feet :o


    Sure I was asking in Currys in town a few weeks ago and they hadn't even heard of what I was talking about. Despite the fact that I'd bought my harddrive off them originally. He tried to fecking sell me micro USB, Composite cables, HDMI Cables fecking everything!


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,763 ✭✭✭DaveNoCheese


    Alright folks, does anybody know of anywhere around town that buys used electronics? Modems, laptops and few other small bits. Was gonna put them on adverts but said I'll check locally first.

    Not expecting top dollar or anything, just wana free up some space :)

    I already told you that HN have them in stock and gave you their phone number and the name of the guy I spoke to on the phone. Phone them and ask them to hold one until you get out there.

    Lazy little *@~#£; :)


    And they are 1.8m not 18m. Cheeky little upstart jumping on my mistake. :P

    You must be a slow walker if you have to set out that early to get to Harvey Norman. :D


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,763 ✭✭✭DaveNoCheese


    Anyone know what they're doing there on patrick st? They have scaffolding up the whole length of the buildings there.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,635 ✭✭✭xsiborg


    Anyone know what they're doing there on patrick st? They have scaffolding up the whole length of the buildings there.

    hopefully they're dismantling the buildings along there, clear out the opera centre, and then get some proper retail outlets in there with a massive green area park where the buildings on patrick street are now, then get rid of arthurs quay altogether and make it a proper park out on the waterfront...

    i like my georgian buildings as much as the next guy but i think they make the city centre look dull without something bright and some life and a buzz about the place like stephens green in dublin.

    of course that would require planning twenty years into the future, and LCC cant see any further than the end of their own nose, if the regeneration fiasco is anything to go by!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,484 ✭✭✭The Snipe


    The buildings are protected Mr. Xavier ;)

    five minutes in front of arthurs quay with a bulldozer... just, five, minutes! :D

    is that the buildings on patrick street though snipe that are protected? probably doing restoration work on them so, which frustrates me somewhat because i'd like to see a more modern look to limerick city to breathe new life into it instead of the pervasive sense of dullness and depression... :(


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,763 ✭✭✭DaveNoCheese


    Some retail and residential buildings with a green park in the middle would make a massive difference, it is preety dull down this side of the city compared to bedford row and thomas st. Limerick has so much potential!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 771 ✭✭✭munstergirl


    On live 95fm scaffolding has been put up for engineer to see what work needs to be done to prevent further deterioration.

    No future plan has been decided for opera centre.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,484 ✭✭✭The Snipe


    AFAIK The entire buildings aren't protected only certain parts of them would be. Atleast thats how my father explained it, when they were above there in Glynns before they moved.


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,763 ✭✭✭DaveNoCheese


    Excuse the ignorance, who's Mr. Xavier? As far as I'm aware, he's the professor in x-men :p

    Whats the story with the opera centre? The plans to do it up were scrapped weren't they?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,635 ✭✭✭xsiborg

    that'd be me dave, haha, long story... :D
    Whats the story with the opera centre? The plans to do it up were scrapped weren't they?

    so they spent €12.5m on it, and then they couldnt figure out what they wanted to do with it? honestly, they should seriously be held accountable to somebody for the way they píss money away like it was going out of fashion!

    correction- it HAS gone out of fashion, LCC never got the memo so they still squander money on white elephant buildings, lollipop lamps on william street and painting 'park anywhere taxi ranks' on every street!

    i've got a seven year old child here would do a better job of city street planning and amenities than these bufoons! :mad:

    What was the comment that the current mayor made before Xmas? That work would start on the centre in either 30 days or 90 days? Pretty sure that similar lines were trotted out by those that came before him as well.

    And the €12.5m spent on it is small change compared to what the Opera centre project has cost to date. Over €100m has gone into the project and there is nothing to show for that money save for a boarded up city centre street.

    That line pretty much sums up the whole Opera centre project. A lot of talk about how it (along with other pie in the sky projects) were about to revitalise Limerick city centre. No doubt the out of town centres will be blamed as usual with no blame at all being put on the so called "experts" behind the city centre projects.


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,763 ✭✭✭DaveNoCheese


    As I said, city centre has incredible potential. Why can't somebody compentent come along and take the reigns off those buffoons, as Mr. Xavier called them ;)
