Guys what sort of broadband is available in naul?

Depends on the location. Eircom and Sky are available in Naul village. Otherwise the best option is Ripplecom which is very good despite the issues they have in other areas of the country.

Other half has asked me to introduce her to more pubs in Balbriggan. I don't frequent them that much as I prefer the city centre (better choice of beers). What pubs would you recommend? We've been to the Bracken Court a few times already.

So we headed to the Harvest Bar first which wasn't bad. Interior reminds me of a hotel lobby but was very quiet so headed to O'Sheas. The place was freezing. A band was setting up but by 11pm they still hadn't started playing so we left. Maybe I'm getting old but it seems to attract an incredibly young crowd. Surprised some of them where even getting served.

Tonight we're going to head back to the hotel. Be interested to hear what other pubs people frequent.

eh i dunno

Maybe go a bit up the road and try the Balrothery Inn? Or the Manowar pub further up the road?

Not so many decent pubs up in the town tbh....

There is a three car collision on the Rathbeale Road near the Applewood junction heading towards Ashbourne at the minute (Swords side of the lights) Ambulance, fire brigade there, I'd be avoiding it if you see this!

Accident now cleared, didn't look serious tbh

Well, what should have been an evening with a bottle of nice wine & a couple of sumptuous steaks in the Windmill in Skerries for myself & Mrs Billy has turned into a bottle of Calpol for Junior & takeaway pizzas for the rest of us. Such is life.

Why? I find myself increasingly disliking going to JCs and this is one of the reasons.

As far as I know JC himself started it, as a gimmick. The supermarket is like Marmite, you either love it or you hate it.

We love it - and it's the only supermarket I know where they'll let you take your shopping home and pay later if you forget your purse or wallet. You regularly see members of staff helping elderly customers around the store too.

There are times I love it, and times I hate it and today was one of those hate days

Love the butchers there and as my OHs daughter has severe food allergies, I really appreciate the service you get when looking for weird foods, but sometimes the gimmicks get on my wick

They are superb when it comes to service

Dizzyblonde

I know what you mean. Sometimes you could do without all the walls of bargains!

Stheno

Be safe put there if you are travelling today, tis rather horrid

Just had a couple. Of pints, with my two lads, the youngest, flies back to Switzerland in the morning, after a great Xmas family break.

Put a chicken in oven, the OH forgot to Mind the spuds, but never mind.
Bottle of wine, and some good-bye's.

Won't see him till June, so feeling a bit melancholy, probably the Wine.

A happy new year to all in this Forum.

martinn123

Bloody IPad, multiple posts, mod. Please delete cheers.

eh i dunno

Must be strong pints

The Hill Billy

Happy New Year martinn123. If your lad is anywhere near Bern & fancies meeting up for a beer - let me know.
