    So other counties have their own chat / waffle threads - So can Wexford.

    This would be along the theme of '' sunny spells and scattered showers ''

    Say whats on your mind .................


    For me , its 2 weeks holidays starting tomorrow evening ......away from the 9-5 at last ........Wahaaaaaaaaaayyyy

    On the other hand , I've looked at the forecast for the next week and its nothing but rain.......rain .........rain .

    So what are the positives and negatives in your daily life .

    Polo at Bunclody http://www.poloclubbunclody.com/ by any chance?

    As for me, I was watching this bright and early this morning in an establishment that shall remain nameless.

    Rugby, especially New Zealand rugby and a small amount of alcohol helps maintain what's left of my diminishing grip on reality. Ireland, and County Wexford in particular, is wearing me down and I can't see a way out - yet. Is that general enough waffle or too much? :D

    It was a polocross international between Ireland and South Africa.

    The South Africans were staying at the Horse and Hound.

    Spent a lovely afternoon yesterday on the slopes of Sliabh Coillte .

    Then on the way home a black cat ran across the road in front of us.

    There was nothing I could do , and I think the cat used its 9 lives at that moment .

    Its recorded on my car-cam , but not so sure if I could post it here .


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,069 ✭✭✭Tzar Chasm


    PM me the video, I Hate cats, that should cheer me right up:p

    @somegirl, yeah we're getting a fair few customers through, altho we'd always like more, feel free to drop in and spend some money We have 2 shops since last week one is a furniture warehouse and one Euro shop, the other oneis the one I kitted out, its much more of a retail shop and we are very Brand discriminatory about what gets to go out fir sale.

    if anyone wants to volunteer a few hours of their week please come in and see me I'll be the stressed out bloke behind the counter in the nice shop trying to work out a roster for volunteers


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,069 ✭✭✭Tzar Chasm

    Indeed , bought a dash-cam on eBay for around €25 ....Use it a lot especially on long trips.

    Does'nt have infra-red though , so of no use at night .

    Have you ever walked along a foot path and wondered to yourself -

    What would happen if you adopted the ignorant stance of the person approaching you, who seems completley oblivious to your existence and make no effort to step to one side to allow you both to pass with ease?

    What about the people who stand chatting in the middle of the pavement and force you to step into the road to get past.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,069 ✭✭✭Tzar Chasm


    I think that's a good time to use the AH policy
    Blast them with piss :D

    Whatever about people standing talkin, what about ignorant cuts who stop their cars in the road for a chat


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,893 ✭✭✭allthedoyles

    My grandmother is buried in that cemetery and it is quite a place. If you happen to be there on a day when the fog is dense, the whole area has such an aura...one that would be perfect for a film location. I recall as a child my grandmother and I riding there on our bikes at 2am, as we had gone home late from a great night of music at an uncle's house in Bannow and on reaching home 4 miles away, realized that she did not have the house key. When St Anthony did not come up with the goods, she decided that there was no other option but to go back to Uncle's house and if it wasn't there to go to the graves, where she had earlier that day cut the grass. I was just twelve and so terrified of going down there in the black dark with just a bicycle lamp to show us the way round the graveyard. Well, after another session of earnest prayers to the man himself, followed by much scraping of loose grass, the key appeared bright and shiny! I recall telling my gran how frightened I was and her response was thus ' child, don't you ever forget that the dead will never harm you, but the living would kill you for sixpence' Oh the joys of a rural childhood and the memories they leave. Gran lived to be a 100 and I now visit her place, remembering to check before leaving that my house key is on my person!!!

    Business'es in New Ross town centre in darkness due to power failure overnight .

    Post Office closed among many others .

    ESB working on it on Charles St.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,893 ✭✭✭allthedoyles


    Grainne Murphy was also well below her best in the heats of the 400m freestyle, the 19-year-old some 10 seconds off her qualifying time as trailed home in eighth place. Murphy, whose training has been disrupted as she recovered from a virus this season, could only post a time of 4:19.07

    Disappointing for Grainne in the 400m free-style .- Does anyone know if she is competing in the 800m free-style ?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,090 ✭✭✭RadioRetro


    Yes, in the third heat on Thursday. She's in lane 7. Plus it's her better discipline.
