Ah hi guys, good 2 chat. GP, the dentist I use is Robin Foyle, I find him really good. Crikey I don't know the name of the street hes on but you can do an 11811 on it. He's opposite the old entrance to Whites hotel. He's a nice guy too, puts you at ease so no more scary dentist visits. By the way where are you from originally...nosey aren't I but it's OK cos its anon!
Miss Wex
I moved to Wexford in 1996 cos my hubby got a job here so we upped sticks and moved to the sunny south east. To be honest when I moved here first I didn't like it I was homesick and it was a bit of a shock to see all the shops shut at lunch and closed up at 5 or 6, even Dunnes at the time closed early but sure now I love it and wouldn't dream of living anywhere else especially now that we have the kids. I think its a great place to bring up kids and sure its beginning to be a happening place with all the new shops and businesses. Janey, sure look at all the nightclubs here now, not that I've been to any of them stuck at home with two small kids but if I was young, free and single Wexford would be the place. My parents are even considering retiring to Wexford in a few years although don't know if that'll be a good thing or not:rolleyes: sometimes its nice to have family a 100 miles away, means your happy to see them when you do!
My gripes about Wexford...em don't have too many really, I suppose the parking but with the new carparks thats eased a bit. Oh wheelchair and buggy access around town, I find it difficult to manouvere a buggy around town I honestly do not know how anyone who relies on a wheelchair to get around manages!:mad: Alot of the shops and busines premises don't take wheelchair users into consideration, its easier with a buggy cos you can just take the child out and fold up the buggy but what about wheelchair users? I'd be interested to know how the heck they manage?
Anyway feel free to post back to me anyone I'm ready to chat and I don't bite, well not always. HAPPY DAYS

Hi there and thought I would introduce myself

Name is Paul and live with wife Ann (from Tipp).
currently live in North Wales and have a holiday home in Weford in Clonard Village. We really like Wexford (no1 son born there) and here is the reason I am replying, i am a dentist - -used to work in Grogans Road clinic - -I saw GP's post, although I can't hep at least someone is listening! Are you a gp?

I work live in Colwyn bay and talking of the dental situation, it's really difficult to obtain a dentist (good or bad!). I am not in practice but work in a hospital.
I did think of working whilst in Wexford but thought this would be too much like a busmans holiday and wouls require registration blah blah (sorry to go on)

Anyway, 'er indoors is coming over later this month with some friends and they are going to spned a day in a spa (any reccomendations? - -I know about kellys but €€€) and spend a couple of days retail therapy.
BTW I like the new Coffee & Nosh on the Quays but it was lashing down with rain last time we were over and could not sit outside

Cheerio
Paul

Hiya, i'm from Wexford, I've lived here all my of my short life and I can safely say that it is without doubt the best county in Ireland, I'm definatly going to live here when I get older becasue I just love everything about Wexford. Although I wish I had the Wexford accent becasue I love it but unfortunatly I live in the only part of Wexford without the Wexford accent(New Ross). For anyone who isn't familiar with the Wexford accent, its kinda similiar to a Northern Ireland accent.

What part of Wexford are ye all from?

wexhun

Howaya hons, Nice to virtually meet you all Paullbds and coolciaran,
Paul I know that there is a new health and spa club near Enniscorthy. It is owned by Liam Griffin, him that owns the Ferrycarrig. It is supposed to be very good but I would imagine it is quite expensive. I think it is called Monart, I may stand to be corrected. I don't have the number to hand but you could give the Ferrycarrig hotel a ring and they would probably fill you in on the details.
i haven't tried that Coffee and Nosh yet will do though, My usual haunt for a cuppa when I'm on the town shopping is the stores, you can't beat them for their scones and clotted ream, muffins. the deep fried brie is gorgeous, hmmm I'm starving, and only €5 which in this day and age is a steal. I'm beginning to sound like a tourist guide now aren't I. We had lunch the other day in South 51, was nice but the service was abit slow and I hate waiting needlessly! Apparently they do great coctails too, wouldn't know though, don't get out at night.
Have to say though for anyone with small kids Mother Hubbards is great, (on the New Ross Rd, truckers restaurant) they have a play area for the kids while your order is being prepared, last time we were there they got crayons and a picture to colour in, when the kids are happy Mamas happy! There is nothing worse than made to feel awkward for bringing your kids in for a bite to eat!
If you like fish and are willing to travel outside the town you must go to Kilmore quay, Kehoes pub, the fish is delic. Excuse me now I'm going to go now cos my Chinese has just arrived...told you I was hungry hmmmmm. Talk later.

lazylad

Yiz remind me of waterford people too much though!:D

wexhun

Howaya Lazylad, love the accent. Sorry that our posts bore you but at the mo theres not alot going on in my little life, busy doing boring things like housework, grocery shopping and raising two kids. So come on you lighten up our lives, entertain us with your Wexford wit:D

The reason New Ross people are so like Waterford people is becuase we spend half our time down there becasue there are no good shops in Ross so if you wnat anyhting, you have to go to Waterford. Even the Ross accent is quite similair to the Waterford one. And a lot of the people living in the newer housing estates in Ross are from Waterford.

Beer is Life

Im in New Ross too. What a dump. I spend most, if not all, of my free time in either Waterford or Dublin

lazylad

Dublin is mad. Im less than 2 hours from dublin. Go there every two weeks. Love the motorway.

wexhun

Oryx

Another Wexfordian here... unlike most of ye I was born and raised here, but dont have the 'howaya hun, dats desh' accent.(Least I dont think so...) Nice to see a few locals about the place, Id always ignored this forum as there was never any posts about Wex!

Southeastguy

Hi folks,

Im going to say hello too!. Im another blow in, originally from Co. Wicklow but now about 6 miles out of Wexford town.

I've lived here on and off for several years, but finally made the move down permanently in 2002, and just love it here. I love the slower pace of life, however Wexford traffic really gets me down these days.

tw0nk

Heyas all,

Good idea starting up an oul rant about wexford, Im from Enniscorthy, yup im a "scalder" hehe, living in Dub at the moment though cos of work, I havent been out in Wex town in a good while, I hear theres lots of new bars n clubs down there now. We have Benedicts and Movitas in scorthy, but both are a little too familiar at this stage!

Anyone here from Gorey? Am thinking since Im working in Dub, Gorey wouldnt be a bad place to buy a house, how much would one on the Dub side cost abouts?

cruiserweight

From Gorey originally but living in Dublin for work

Anyway anyone got any other recommondations whats chocolate like?

Crania

How many niteclubs is there actually in Wexford Town? I know theres Colony and The Stores but what other ones are there? Is there any in Enniscorty/New Ross/Gorey? Is The Hydro in Kilmuckridge still open? I dont think there is any in Ross anymore after the Colosuem closed down.

Was in chocolate last early last Summer one night and had a brill night. Actually was there twice, once in the bar and the second time in the nightclub. It was the first Wexford nightclub I was in and I was very impressed:cool: . Wasn't too packed....nice ya know?! Might have been a lil tipsy though:D . Blue saphire cocktails by the way are wicked!!!:eek:

cruiserweight

Yeah Chocolate and upstairs in Renaissance are good! I also like Colony in Wexford town! There are Movitas and Benedicts in Enniscorthy and Jumping Jacks in Gorey, but I have not been in any of them though!

Statso

I'm from the town itself so howya everyone

Colony is immense, great atmosphere :cool: , Chocolate is good as well, ain't been in there since me mate who managed it left tho. Don't like stores as much, think its always way too crowded so yah cant enjoy yourself as much.

Anyone going to the Steve Davis thingy in the Riverbank hotel?

misswex

Steve Davis in the Riverbank???

wexhun

Statso, When is Steve Davis coming to the riverbank? Know the hubby wud be into that for def.

Statso

He is coming on the 8th of Feb, its a trick shot night with Steve Davis and a random member of the audience can get picked to play a frame against him too.

You can buy the tickets in Whites for music or the Riverbank hotel itself, 17.50 each i think, they only went on sale there on Wednesday so there should be plenty left.

Dizzy Lass

I know i'm not alone on this one when it comes to the Colony V's The Stores.
That I loved the Colony when it first opened but after The Stores opened the Colony crowd became very very young,
The Stores wd be more my age group but I much prefer The Colony it's much more of a nightclub than the Stores is ie music & it's layout.
So we end up in the stores only cause the crowd is older !!

Statso

The new manager over the Colony rumour has it wants to make the place an over 21's nightclub so you might be able to go back in there soon
