Go to Fota Wildlife Park and play with the Lions. There's always loads of stuff on that you never hear of - try the what's on : www.whazon.com/cork/

When God forbade Adam from eating from the tree of knowledge, Adam had to eat the fruit to prove his freedom. If there is only one rule you cannot be free unless you break it.


i think you may have that a little a's ways...
its the forbidden fruit from the serpents tree and the fish of knowledge.

Spot the christian fundamentalist.

I thought it was the tree of knowledge - wasn't the fish something to do with speaking all languages?

The point is that he wasn't supposed to eat from the tree.

My friends came down to visit recently for a weekend. I've only been here 2 months so I wasn't too sure how to make it a good weekend.
Ended up they were fairly bored and went to the pub, sure they could have done that back home in Donegal.
Though about getting the football out for a kick about but the only place I know of where we could do that is out by the Lee fields at the County Hall.
Was up visiting a friend in Terenure one weekend and there was a huge public park with 5 pitches close to his house like there are on all the Dublin suburbs. Cork is lacking those sort of public facilities.
I hear there is a good tour in Cork jail, probably not what you want to be doing during a Bank Holiday.
If ye do have a car available for the weekend then Fota Wildlife park is worth a visit and I hear there are some lovely drives out in West Cork but I find those drives admiring the views quite boring.
Ah well, yous will probably end up in the pub like we did.

Dizzyblabla, am I invited to your birthday party?

August Bank holiday lots of good free music happening at the Mitchelstown Music Festival, check it out here http://www.mitchelstownfest.com/

I'll be there to see the Sultans meself.

The Chalets would definitely be worth a look too!

If you have a car why don't you go west? Maybe hit Clonakilty first, then Drombeg Stone Circle, drive through Glandore, down to Baltimore, have pizza in la jolie brise or whatever it's called, head over to sherkin for a look or maybe drive on to Schull and from there head to Mizen head.

I'm sure you'd get a nice hostel down that side of the country. I generally don't find there's much to do in Cork really but if you have a nice day then west cork just can't be beaten for chilling out and relaxing, have nice food and a couple of beers.

You can also do lots of Watersports around Baltimore and Schull and there are lots of walks you can do. Maybe do Lough Hyne - it's not the worst of walks. (sp).

The jail is extremely interesting in Cork. I know there is also a skating rink in the north main street but not too sure if it's ice or not. Not really into the music scene so can't really recommend the Mitchelstown Festival.

If I think of anything else I'll post it!

its not ice, tis some sorta low friction stuff so you cant go very fast and hurt yourself. not been there though

What? A fake-ice skating rink? In cork? Where? How? All year round? I was hanging on for the fiasco that is Fota on ice.

Fysh

Last I heard Fota on Ice isn't happening any more, due to someone injuring themselves last time and the ensuing insurance hassles... The fake skating place is in the arcade on north main street afaik, the one a bit down from Le Cheile whose name I can't remember. (Helpful, eh?)
