    Anyone know where I would be able to get a set of tongs for the fire? And one more thing, a decent nail brush?

    Limerick seriously needs a Starbucks. The one in UL is rubbish, been there a few times and they don't even have the full menu there :confused::(

    The Starbucks in Mary I started doing frappuccinos recently! Pretty damn good in this weather.

    Would still love a Starbucks in town though! Would even settle for a Costa! :)

    am i right in thinking that wasabi sauce is that pale green goop they have in japan that'd burn the mouth off you?

    it might be a longshot, but maybe, they stock it in the chinese wholesale shop there at the top of henry street? i must go in and ask tomorrow when im down that way... :)

    BTW, still no wifi on the trains between Limerick and Dublin :eek:

    Yeah, bit of a pain alright. Only way to go is to get the train coming from Cork. Last few times I've used the wifi, it has been painfully slow. Might be something to do with the carraige I've been on but 3G was faster.

    the wi-fi on trains and buses is also 3G based, BUT, the major difference is that while the wi-fi on trains and buses uses a mobile 'mi-fi' router like a hot-spot, with many devices connected to it sharing the connection, the 3G on your phone has only you connecting to it.

    the only other thing is that mobile wi-fi or 3G tethering isnt worth a damn when you're travelling between areas of the country where mobile reception is sketchy or non-existent... :(

    Did you notice the serious lack of power sockets on the Cork/Dublin trains? I couldn't get over that the Limerick train has power supply all over the carriage while the Cork ones seems to have limited supply and offer free WiFi :eek:

    louise just reminded me too snipe i've to be out in the regional for half four for my hip x-ray, i forgot about it last month and re-scheduled for today, and then i'd even forgotten about it today! :rolleyes:

    im not looking forward to getting a bus out there now, it'll be like a sweat box! and then thats even if the bus turns up at o connell monument! the way they've changed the bus stops around the city lately is just horribly confusing, you cant get the raheen bus from brown thomas any more either and the o connell monument stop is just unreliable! :mad:

    Missus wants to know where's the best coffee in Limerick? :)

    If I say would I get a siteban for advertising?

    Took me while to learn it, never realised there was so much to the job, am proud of myself for managing a fairly successful spot.

    PM would be more than welcome Birdie, im always looking for a nice coffee spot... :)

    i was passing up by BDJ's there now off henry street and i noticed they're now doing milkshakes, badly needed in this weather, but i didnt get the chance to try one as i didnt have time! :(

    they're still looking for experienced deli staff too btw if anyone is interested, might be no harm to drop them in a CV, i didnt catch the number to call but i imagine it wouldnt be too hard to find with a google search :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,555 ✭✭✭Sar_Bear


    yeah Birdie, if you wouldn't mind pm-ing me the name of the coffee place please :)

    eurovision and a box of bud from dunnes for €15 is my night sorted... :pac:

    *ducks for cover*, lol, ah no, just metal isnt my scene at all, says me watching 'bee gees: one night only' on bio channel right now... :D

    im just back from the park there and came round by clohessys- 'jam packed' isnt the word, the tables by the river were all full and inside too was fairly jammed, it feels like the long weekend already the way they had 'africa day' zumba exhibitions down in the park too! great to see some life in the town and all out enjoying the good weather! :)

    EDIT: cant wait for the decades festival next weekend, they'll surely have some bee-gees classics on the playlists! :D
