    Hey folks.
    Looking for a cleaner to drop in for a couple of hours every week or two to hover/mop and take care of the place. Someone to clean the bathrooms and change beds etc.
    Can anyone make a recommendation? Living on the Newbridge road coming out of Naas.

    Thanks in advance!

    Have a look on the notice board in supervalue, might be luckier to get someone up that side of the town.

    Trying out the new restaurant Two Cooks in Sallins for the birthday next week. Will report back. The premises they have have refurb'd is known as the unit of death, so many businesses have failed there. Would really like these guys to succeed though

    Seen on AGS twitter last night that a 24 year old female learner driver stopped at checkpoint in Naas and found to be 6 times over the alcohol limit. Naas court on Mar 2nd.
    With the amount of Garda checkpoints in Naas, I would be afraid to drive after a slice of Christmas cake.

    Good enough for her.

    I wouldn't be able to unlock the car, if I was at the same limit as her.

    Six times the "Learner limit", which would be 1.20mg, which is .40mg or 50% over the Full drivers limit...still illegal but not quite so sensational

    Doesn't sound too bad since you put it like that. I still wouldn't risk it though.

    Did anyone see the farmers market on the 9pm news last week? I missed it.

    I live in Kerdiff and they seem to always have a checkpoint just after Aylmer on the way into the estate. Always late night or early morning.

    The standard limit is actually .50, so she was still at more than double the limit.

    What was the market on the news for?

    Ah it was one of those support local clips. I don't know if you've ever been, but it's quiet good. There's a great little community down there, a mix of all people. T'was quiet enough down there last Saturday with the rain, but when it's a clear morning, they come from miles away.

    I haven't been down to the Market yet, Is there anything that really stands out down there?

    Depends on what you like. I bought a fair bit down there on Saturday, sausages, olives, boquerones, chocolate lollipops, gingerbread men, a smoothie, and a beef curry. I usually get jam there too, but blew the budget on everything else.

    There's a toilet down there too, so don't think you have to make it back to Lawlors to go.

    Yeah I go there every so often, nice way to spend the morning and buy local. I generally just take a €20 note with me and we get a coffee, snack and something small. Made some lovely homemade pizza with olives, mozerella and chorizo from the stall there. I like the atmosphere, you're not going down for your weeks shop, but a nice treat


  • Hosted Moderators Posts: 23,207 ✭✭✭✭beertons


    I didn't eat all that myself btw, it was with 2 kids. Tis good craic at Easter and Xmas too, with music and so on. I've seen people buy all their veg and meat there, but I know they have loads of money. Not the kind you'd see in Aldi.

    I think naas could do with a nice pizzeria, somewhere like milanos. Just thinking though, does jolly do pizza?

    It does, really good too!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,220 ✭✭✭✭Lex Luthor


    Il fico....great pizza


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28 Higgeldy


    + 1 for Jolly pizza. They do a fab duck /hosin sauce pizza...

    Agree we could do with a pizzeria restaurant but would love to see something independent and not Milanos.

    Living in Sallins myself, looking forward to trying Two Cooks and hearing that other posters review of it!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 860 ✭✭✭rondeco


    Any idea what is going in where the old marks & spencers used to be? Loads of construction going on

    The old m&s and the unit beside it are being knocked into one. It is going to be a large Meadows and Byrnes store.

    Has anyone been for tapas yet in Graces? I was in there on Saturday afternoon and the barman said to me that upstairs has been booked out every Friday and Saturday since they reopened.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 42 jake66


    been to Graces twice, I think its called five rooms.
    the food is really good, especially the prawns and the chorizo stew..
    A bit on the expensive side, most dishes are around €9.00.
    They are also doing lunch in the bar now, not sure what the menu is like.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 756 ✭✭✭whowantstwoknow

    do you need to book for the tapas? what time do they serve them from?

    thinking of going down on Friday about half 5ish


  • Hosted Moderators Posts: 23,207 ✭✭✭✭beertons


    I'd book to be sure of a table.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,557 ✭✭✭paddylonglegs


    Lads, need to get some work done on a room - build a partition wall, hang a couple of doors, repair wall and replaster, build some bespoke storage, put in a velux window, Few bits like that. Any ideas on someone local to fit the bill?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,088 ✭✭✭aaakev


    Padraic Grogan is very good, know him years he is a very trustworthy guy and does excellent work. He recently put a new side door in my parents house where there was no door before and they were delighted with the work and no mess left. Highly recommend for any building work.

    Saw him doing work on 2 houses beside mine last week. Very tidy.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,557 ✭✭✭paddylonglegs


    Thanks for that. I've seen his van around. Does he do the work himself or is he a contractor? Would prefer to go straight to source than pay a contractors mark-up


  • Hosted Moderators Posts: 23,207 ✭✭✭✭beertons


    Solo I imagine, I saw no one else around.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,088 ✭✭✭aaakev


    Yes he does the work himself

    Caragh farm is back open for this week and next, for those looking for outdoor entertainment for kids.


  • Hosted Moderators Posts: 23,207 ✭✭✭✭beertons


    Just to add to above, they're closed on Sunday. Good time to go, a lot of the young animals are just a week old. My 3 year old fed a milk bottle to a lamb. Very cute.
