So whats new in the North West in 2007

nanook

Simple question, what is new in your life for 2007, have you any plans, have you surprises planned for the new year.

for myself, i want to enjoy another year of my family, both at home and in leitrim.
I want to bring my wife to Donegal for a weekend, or 2.
I want to sell my house in leitrim, that is not going to happen in 2007 methinks.

So what are you gonna do.

Please dont tell me that you mean un-pedestrianise the street.:o

nanook

i would say that is exactly what it means.

TequilaMockingBird

Thats what I mean, do you disagree?

I do, it should have been pedestrianised about 15 years ago. When its gets paved like a proper precincnt it will look great and give a real city centre feel to the place.

The paths were always too narrow and people used to have to walk on the road.

Gillie

We can't move backwards now.
I think ppl would like it to be open from 7-11 in the morning for rush hour traffic but then someone could argue the same for the evening.
It was about time it was pedestrianised! There are plenty of alternative routes around Sligo.

TequilaMockingBird

I agree it used to be a nightmare to get along the paths (I did it for years with a buggy - used to have homicidal thoughts!), but they could have widened them. At most points in the road its four cars wide, the pavements could have been widened and paved nicely, while still having two lanes of traffic. Its just affected business so badly, not just me, all retailers are saying the same.

Mods - very sorry for going off topic here.

Apology accepted sueme.

I have been watching the last few posts which have drifted further and further off topic and I was hoping that it would turn again but its not happening. This thread is going down the same road as the "Currys" thread a few weeks ago. Decent points raised but wrong place.

As suggested in the Currys thread why doesn't someone just start a thread titled Sligo problems/topics/developments or whatever and that will cover a multitude of things.

Now people - we do have to post on topic here and while I have basically ignored the previous posts a sterner approach will be taken for any further infringements

Me? Not sure why you're asking, but I'm moderately skilled, yeah. Maybe more experienced than skilled to be honest.

Going to be launching a website in the next couple of months which will put both my skills and experience to the test, although I'm pretty confident I have what it takes to get it done. Which is quite exciting.

Also looking for some new part-time work for a more regular and steady source of moneys.

Everything's new for me in 2007, to be honest.
