    This has worked in the Dublin and Meath threads - so why not here!!

    Here's the rules, a poster posts a picture of Wexford, people guess until someone is right. The winner either posts a picture or forfeits and somebody else steps up and posts a picture.

    You have to take the picture yourself (basically, don't take from websites). If it's a neighbourhood picture, take a picture that people can reasonably guess at. Not some back alley or some generic house. And make sure the picture takes in quite a bit (i.e. not a close-up of a bench or something) People just have to guess the neighbourhood, but for a city picture the winner has to name the street.

    Please don't give the title away in the file name

    This is a pretty easy starting one - I have some better ones on a disk back home.

    It looks like the pub at Tenacre - I think it used to be called Greenacres - on the way between Bridgetown and Tacumshane

  • Posts: 5,589 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 598 ✭✭✭arseagon

    Its
    time to call zaraba a fecker!!!

    :p

    Maybe there should be a time limit on photos? This one is obviously exceedingly hard, and could end up killing the thread. Any opinions?


  • Posts: 5,589 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Sure - if after a couple of days no one has got it, then someone can post up another.

    Technically, it's arseagan's turn as he got the Killurin one.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 598 ✭✭✭arseagon


    Right a toughy for ye....

    Seeing as it's so obscured I'll give a hint. A pub in enniscorthy. :)

    Oh and the house of beermats isn't usually there.... I was just bored. :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,536 ✭✭✭hamsterboy


    Houlohans? (prev. the Cotton Tree) by any chance?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,771 ✭✭✭jebuz

    The answer is:
    The Shell House, Tykillen (On the banks of the slaney)
    AFAIK, it was part of Tykillen Estate


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,536 ✭✭✭hamsterboy


    Seeing as we're doing pubs in the enniscorthy area....try this one


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 598 ✭✭✭arseagon


    Is it the bar in the IFA Centre?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,536 ✭✭✭hamsterboy


    Nope, but you're on the right line of thinkin


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,536 ✭✭✭hamsterboy


    <hint> not exactly in the town, bit outside but still well known</hint>


  • Posts: 5,589 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    perhaps we could go back to more general photos rather then those of inside pubs?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,536 ✭✭✭hamsterboy


    Prob a good idea dude. Twas the only pic I have with me of home ATM :). btw....answer = The Monageer Tavern. Pic taken New Years where I was imprisoned by the in(out)laws that night.
    Post away guys


  • Posts: 5,589 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]
