    I'd be afraid to visit Ballyvaughan these days (I could get lost) as there is a major shortage of signposts up there since the NRA took them :mad::mad::mad:

    I was at the latest Harry Potter film recently and it got me thinking about my school days. Does anyone know if the female teachers in the Colaiste still wear those hideous black gowns that made them look like large bats :eek: :eek: :eek:

    Ha ha no they dont!!!! I went to the open day in the Colaiste a few months ago and what a fantastic day it was, got a tour of the school and soooo many memories came back.

    It was mad to sit at the desk i use to sit at etc and i even ran up the teachers stairs!!

    Anyway they had different rooms set up for the different eras ie a seventies room, eighties etc. and in these rooms they had all items relating to each year like all the school photos, year book, uniforms. And there in the middle of the room was the black gown on a dummy model. It had been put out to pasture in the nineties I think!!

    May I direct you to this link?
    http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?p=74166597
    This question needs answering so can someone tell me what or where the saying 'comb' means? For example "Well Comb, what's the craic?" or "Jaysus, it's fairly pissin' down with rain tonight Comb!"

    A lot of lads in rural areas of South East Munster are using it lately. Any idea what it means?

    I work with people based in Bratislava and they use Cove for everything, might be a take on that

    I first heard it about 35 years ago ..... not heard it a lot since ..... no idea of its origins .... I would have thought it may have derived from 'welcome' .....

    Remember the earthquake in clare last year? There was papers saying that the irish government was testing nuclear weapons at the cliffs of moher- Bet they never paid entry..

    Anyhow, it drove drunk people mad. :D

    So the Chinese vice-president Xi Jinping is in the locality. Afaik he's in Bunratty now and thomorrow morning he's visiting Lynch's farm coming into Sixmilebridge from Shannon.
    Hopefully our elected officials kiss some serious ass over the next few days and bring in some serious foreign investment because we as a country are completely banjaxed.

    When I heard he was coming to the farm I thought he was heading to Costelloe's place near Quin.. Funny picture of the VP with a bagpiper outside Bunratty on the IT at the moment.

    Sixmilebridge station is almost open 2 years at this stage?

    Is it used much?

    Not a huge amount, personally I've only used it once to Limerick and once to Galway. It is a good service and the Bridge is blessed to have it, I just wish people would use it more often.
    I've been told by regular users that it's busiest for the morning and afternoon commute, it's generally quiet in between those hours, you'd be lucky to see more than 5 people enter the train and 5 exit.

    I travel from Limerick to Clare back and forth a few times a month and there are always a few people using it.

    I'm giving this thread a little bump as I think most people have forgotten about it or they don't know it exists.

    This thread has no main topic, it's just for general chat, from time to time.
