I heard a little bird saying it's going to be:

Drive-thru Burgerking

It was to be a student pub but not sure if it is anymore.

I thought Mc Ds had a rule that there would only be one outlet in a certain radius?

belindaf

no sure look at other counties they're everywhere.

Galway has 3 i think

belle_09

Anyone have any idea what the new building opposite the IT is going to be? Pass it everyday and am curious as have heard nothing about it.

ShayK1

a Drive Thru McDonalds

belle_09

Oh! Another McDonalds. Very bad so as I could see myself stopping in on my way home from work for a strawberry milkshake and an apple pie

ShayK1

and you don't even have to get out of your car

belle_09

Think I'll have to find a different route home!

SV

oh by the way Shayk1, this thread has served it's purpose now.

ShayK1

Thanks for that.

Mod Warning

Or, instead, we could just ask you to leave since you seem to be a constant headache in this forum. Which would you prefer? I have no problem breaking out that ban!

Have some cop on please. Thanks.

Yeah, thought you might go down that garden path. I swept it and all for your visit. Good bye.

im inclined to agree. threads just can't go off-topic in any shape or form withouts mods intervening. probably why the only posters seem to be the mods! i very rarely check up on this forum, simply because i know that threads will go nowhere.

very irritating

Id love to hear yourself, or any others feedback, over PM on how the forum can be improved. Likewise, the Feedback forum is another alternative for discussing such.

But, your own post is derailing this very topic in itself which is what none of us want (well, I cant say that for SV). So please, just PM one of the mods or myself with your Feedback so we can get posters like yourselves checking up on the forum and avoiding regular derailment.

Iv stuck my nose in here for the very reason - to kick out those who insist on causing trouble and derailing threads.

Why not start a thread in this forum inviting public feedback from the users?

I have no real interest in getting into PM'ing about a forum I have no interest in. The potential is here for a very good forum, but its constantly being stifled and overly-moderated. I realise that this isn't AH or whatever, but general discussion does not seem to be encouraged in any way. The moderation is too strict, and until it lightens up in here, the forum isn't going to grow. I am far from the only Boards user I know who feels this way. As you can see, I am an active user on boards, and yet I NEVER am on the Carlow forum...shame!

Enough is enough.

Please stop posting off topic in this thread. The Random Waffle Thread is there for random waffle. Please leave this topic for discusion in relation to the new building opposite Carlow IT.

I thought it was a done deal that Burgerking were the tenant here, at least that's what I was told last March.
