A random waffle thread?

Limerick_Lass · 2010-07-08 22:30:08

How about a random thread to allow people waffle on and talk about general chit chat/ unworthy thread starter topics? Its just an idea, could help keep the other threads to their relevant topic! What ye think guys? How about that rain today :)

Just noticed today the lovely lantern lights are being taken away from Sarsfield Bridge and replaced with common generic street lights .... sad I loved those lantern lights especially around Xmastime or on a wet miserable evening they lifted the spirits. :mad:
Even if the lights needed updating could they not have retained the lantern casing?

They are reconditioning the old lanterns they should be back soon.

Man, I drove past the old bakery at the top of william street where a bookies is now. Drove there tonight, there were 3 hookers dressed like out and out hookers. I couldn't believe it. So I went to run my errand at Ballysimon and decided to drive back to check if they were still there (Assuring me they were really hookers) and they were there. This time I came from wickham street side. Got stuck at the red light and all 3 were eyeballing me. Can't believe how out and out they are, surely the guards know this too!!

Ya I drove past a girl (who looked like a street-walker) hanging around outside Leonard Motors on Sunday night. I drove up as far as Claughaun GAA club to drop a friend off and then turned back for home. On my way back I was heading down Roches St and saw the same girl standing near the junction of O'Connell St. There's no way she could have walked from Mulgrave St to the bottom of Roches St in 5 minutes...in high heels.

It seemed to me like she must have been picked up in a car (by a pimp) and driven down there. Or a punter picked her up and they couldn't agree on a price so he dropped her off. It is fairly blatant and I don't like to see it carrying on in the city centre.

I saw them on the corner of Glentworth St and Catherine St not so long ago on a Wednesday evening in the summer at about 7pm! They certainly arent afraid about being in the open with Henry st Garda station in their line of sight!

Just to make people aware that there is an individual out in town today approaching people and asking them to sponsor a line for "Crumlin Hospital". This individual has no association whatsoever with the "Children's Medical and Research Foundation" which is the official registered fundraising charity of Our Lady's Children's Hospital Crumlin.

I questioned the individual for their licenced ID because the "lines" they produced look like they were done on a home printer with "Crumlin Children's Hospital" on it. It's basically a scam that this individual is trying to use to make money for themselves, and nothing to do with either the hospital nor the fundraising organisation

You could give Cora in Alexandra Dental a call in the morning on 061315228, I know it's subjective but I found the dentist in there very good, and she knocked a bit off the price for me too when I had to have three fillings and a polish done, so perhaps she may have a student rate too.

Apparently there's a bad accident by the rail line on N69/Dock Road. Big tail back and loads of flashing blue lights.

It's Arthur's day, big acts do surprise gigs in bars all over the country. So it's quite possible.
