    Cruises street really seems to be a magnet for scum.

    Someone mentioned Beamish in another thread about Limerick pubs. The Curragower were pouring it to perfection yesterday evening. I might have to insist on putting them on the agenda for the next Beers!

    The lads in Mister Macs off-licence are getting to know me from buying Aspall in there so often! Best cider on the market, and well worth the higher price too.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,864 ✭✭✭langdang


    Haven't tried the Aspalls. Like the Stella Cidre, Kopparberg is more like an energy drink or something - how does all that sugar stay in suspension? :D
    Like the ol Beamish, suppose it reminds me of the motherland and having my breakfast overlooking the Beamish and Crawford brewery :)

    It is bloody lovely especially the organic version.

    Where is Mister Macs? Would be handy to know another Offy that stocks Aspall. I normally get mine at the Next Door offy on the Father Russell road.

    Macs is on the Ennis Road, between the petrol station and JFK Memorial School.

    O'Brien's Wines at the Parkway sell it too.

    I want to try Aspall's cider lol... Kess, have you tried the cider in the Curragower? It's yummy, organic and strong and you and I could confer about CK lol... :D Should definitely have a chat on a boards night and discuss the gossip ;)

    PS Mac's is on the Ennis Road :)

    Oops IO told you lol ;)

    If the Curragower is the pub I am thinking about, then I have never been there.

    What brand of cider is it? Aspall cyder ( with a Y :)) is the first cider/cyder to really tickle my taste buds away from the Devon ciders, although technically some of them are nowadays made in Hereford in Herefordshire rather than in Devon. :)


    Speaking of short stuff, yesterday I saw the person that used to live in his house before he did, and she is still as nutty as a squirrel's larder. He is an improvement I guess :D. One of his other ex neighbour's is doing well for himself and had a new book published of late (last summer I think) that is getting a lot of rave reviews.

    no bother t'all source, i know €50 was pricey but if the rest of the laptop stil does what you want it to do, and will do for the foreseeable, sometimes it's better to get it repaired rather than fork out even more money for a new laptop essentially to do the same thing!

    my son still uses windows XP on a ten year old dell gx150 desktop computer attached to his tv as a monitor and it works the finest for his youtube and cbeebies requirements, or his latest thing- 'bin weevils', he's already got the hang of pulling up a word or excel document when i walk by the room, lol, course what he doesnt see is im out in the living room keeping an eye on everything he's doing with remote desktop.

    ok i will admit to messing with his head a little the odd time, and i know he's eventually going to figure it out, but thats a whole other ball game... :D

    he's trying to get rid of me already! haha, doesnt like me accompanying him to the toilet when we're out and about which is how he left his phone behind him in supermacs yesterday.

    i was hoping whoever picked it up would be decent enough to hand it back, tried calling twice, then hoped they'd switch in a new sim card so i'd get their location and number on my phone, no chance so an hour later before i knew the battery was going to go dead, i did a remote wipe, then got the IMEI blocked, whoever took it can enjoy their new fancy paperweight!

    The organic version of that is lovely.


    What kind of crowd goes to that pub? If I am thinking of the right pub, then I had an image of a jock and Hipster wannabe type crowd.

    Yeah, it's the organic version they stock. It's yummy! I haven't been to the curragower in a while but from what I remember it's usually a mixed crowd and it's a well run pub. Their food is very good too. Sorry for the weird layout of this, posting from my phone for the first time lol :)

    How come we leave eggs in the fridge but we buy them off the shelf in the supermarket?

    How come we leave eggs in the fridge but we buy them off the shelf in the supermarket?

    that IS random, lol, but so true, im just home from dunnes stores, harveys quay, where i happened to buy some eggs for breakfast in the morning, read the e-mail notification of your post, (i find myself posting more and more from the mobile nowadays too, anyone else use boards on their mobile more than on their computer?), but anyway, yeah, dunnes display the eggs on a wooden shelf next to a fridge, and there i've just put the eggs away in the little egg holder i have in the fridge.

    incidentally they do the same in tesco aswel, eggs on a shelf.

    maybe its because there's a high turnover on eggs and the idea that they wouldn't need to take up valuable space in the shops refrigerator where they can store goods that can be refrigerated for a while like dairy produce and cold meats?

    while i googled that actually, i came across something else interesting on a food health and safety website-

    it stated than when you're doing your shopping, you should place raw meat goods in the bottom of your basket first, makes sense too now i think about it, but i dont buy my meat in a store, o' connells butchers every time!

    nothing worse than gnawing on cheap meat that tastes as tough as shoe leather, like the meat you get in dunnes, or an even worse culprit for leather meat is tesco!

    speaking of leather, i was left wondering today why i bothered polishing my shoes last night when all day its been raining and my shoes are soaked! :(

    hopefully it doesnt keep up like that for the next 39 days and 39 nights!

    We recently used brokens****n.e and I would not recommend them. We had our laptop come back broken in 2 other places. Terrible customer service!

    I get that this is a "random" thread, and that nothing is really off-topic here, but please don't use it for bad-mouthing a business completely out of the blue like this.

    I'm impressed at how you got that from eggs to shoes so seamlessly while still answering the question.

    Wonder how long eggs would last at home if you didn't keep them in the fridge.

    When baking and stuff it's better to use room temperature eggs, they expand more!
