I frankly hated the footbridge, though I wasn't a student at the time so Just saw it as a nuisance to try bring the dog over when bringing him for a walk! :L

westdub15

subway. cinema would be sweet too.

fix the traffic lights sequence in the town centre , bring back the footbridge, put in more 24 hour shops , a subway, open dunnes 24 hours again , make parking free everywhere again, open the garden by the seminary again

ohh no , theyre funny to listen to in the pub and such, I just wish they wouldnt bring their nonsense into the college where impressionable minds might pick up bad habits, also im an advocate of free speech, I defend their right to say whatever they want, no matter how wrong they may be

I love the level crossing, makes me feel like god making all the cars stop and then walking across as slowly as possible just to piss them off !:P

Definitely would love a Subway; it would have made so much more sense to put one in Manor Mills instead of yet another Bagel Factory.

And as much as I disliked it, I do miss the footbridge

Turtyturd

The weather.....even for Ireland Maynooth always seems to be dull and wet. Cinema would also be a good way to fill the hours in between lectures when you're supposed to be doing assignments.:pac:

Ms. Koi

I would LOVE a Subway...my favourite sandwich shop in the world!

Also...I bake so I don't need no superquinn buns......total bareface attempt at promoting my cakes....

We BADLY need a monorail (or similar) from the south to the north campus.

I don't give a toss what's installed as long as I don't have to haul ass over and back several times per day. I just think a monorail sounds cool!! :pac:

A bus to south kildare/nass/newbridge is defiantly needed!!!!

Both above me are on to something. I take back my bridge request. I want proper public transport, dammit :mad: In fact, could've done with it in second year (the first time).

I just think its a bit crazy you can't go from one end of the co. to the other w/o having to go back into Dublin first

I'll go one better. For my teaching practice, I was placed in Dunboyne. Not all that far from Maynooth, really. By train though, it involved getting a train to Clonsilla at 7 in the morning, and praying that there'd be no delays, so I wouldn't miss the connecting train over to Dunboyne >_>

MADNESS!! Dunboyne's only 11k from Maynooth !

The only one at the moment is the Kavanaghs one which is a pile of ****e. I commuted for a year and it wasnt worth the money I saved. The bus never got in before 9.15 and it was frequently late. When the bus is running late or there's problems the office dont answer the phone. One of the drivers who used to drive the Naas bus was a cantankerous auld bastard and would always stop for a fag even when he was running late

Yikes. I used to drive through Dunboyne on my way to my work placement. I probably could have given you lifts

Yeah , and that's only for college purposes like if you need to go to Naas on a Sat/Sunday or the evening you're royally screwed !

I'm jumping on the Subway bandwagon! I love that place.
I hate O'Brien's:mad:

O' Briens is some rip to be fair. Subway would have queues out the door if there was one in Maynooth.

Especially when they do there half price after 4pm deal.

id bring back some of the places that have closed down over the years, like the creative arts center, and the L.A(what mantra used to be) which was the biggest hole in the town but an enjoyable one nonetheless. €2.50 a drink on a monday as far i remember

also the stage in the roost is too close to the bar and the entrance much to my annoyance,

would agree with everyone on the subway vs O'briens issue, only reason i wasted all my money there in the first place was because i taught i was in with a chance with the girl who works in it, because she calls me dear, hart was broken when i realized she was saying that to everyone

DylanII

The pedestrian crossing should be obliterated. Its like all the fu#k tards showed up every time I try to go over it. It's like they plan to ensure there is always one really slow walking person on it. Ugh!!!

I was pretty sure the arts centre was still open....

The LA was an absolute dump I'm so glad it's gone, though maybe if I was of legal age when it was around I would have seen more of its colourful charm rather than the negatives!! :L

After today I want to change the self service machines in Tesco-just bought credit there last night, but the actual credit thing didn't come out, went to customer services today,explained it and they said there was nothing they could do !!!! Grr :mad:

There is something they can do. if the slip with the credit didn't come out then it would've popped up as a printer error on screen where the supervisor stands. When that's confirmed they should've refunded you or gave you the credit

There was no one around at the time 'cos it was the middle of the night so they said there was no way to prove it when I went in the next day

Same problem, almost every time I use it some f*cktard in their car shows up who doesn't seem to understand they are supposed to stop at it. Ugh!!!

I've used the self service machines in tescos twice since I came back. Each time I scaned the items through and finished paying for them a member of staff would come over and bend down beside me to pick something off the floor, the first time a coin and the second time a receipt, to see if I had scaned all the items through? I mean wtf? Only in Maynooth would shop keepers make such insinuations.

So ya, the mentality of locals here could do with changing.

I'm sorry I should refrain that; the mentality of the local peasant population could do with changing.

Yea, you're the only person I know that that's happened to. I hate to sat it but I don't think that it's Maynooth that's the prob...
