    You should try gumtree.ie but expect to get 150 emails within a day at least half of which will just be badly taken pictures of cocks.

    AJ- if you're dropping your CV into places you need to follow it up with a phone call or else drop in. Always give your CV to the manager too- it gives them a good impression.

    Good luck!

    Might as well give up you're search ajrocks, i'm sorry to say you'll never find cool friends in Galway. you'll find the mildly retarded to the absolutely drugged up looney with a spot of snobishness and a dash of poser served with a hippy on the side but you'll never find anyone "cool".

    welcome to da wesht. :D

    nah.... those guys are the exception to the rule. any Canadian i've met is mad as a hatter. quite controlling though i have to say...

    and they all tend to be neat freaks.

    The only Canadian I know in Galway at the moment is a female rugby coach, hangs out in O'Connell's fairly regularly, mad as a brush and great craic.

    Sure there's lots more around the place, just seem to be bumping into more ozzies and kiwis these days.

    Some crappy techno is using the name of the almighty Rush!? They should be hung by the neck until dead.

    There is only one Rush, and they are the greatest Canadians to have ever lived:

    Great way to meet Canadian chicks too, as I found out when me and some friends were talking about Rush in the pub once, and these 3 Canadian girls came over to us and said oh my god (In the way only Canadians can) you guys like Rush!? That was awesome. :D

    OK, watched the vid, and now I know there's a very good reason I've never heard of them. Do they not have a singer??? Musical masturbation tbh...

    Oh, and the greatest Canadian ever was MacGuyver. Everyone knows that! ;)
