    Interesting... further investigation required... wink.gif

    Not a bad site... although I'm not completely convinced that 'coming to Cork' is a good idea...

    convince me ! (or comment on the site)

    Second version of the site in less than two years. Looks better than the last version though the colours are too much for me, especially that yellow/orange colour. Frames. Sucky. The right frame is too small and should take up more room.

    Nice to see someone I know on the mainpage. Too much writing in the intro piece and its too small.

    Hopefully it will be kept up to date this time round, though it doesn't look like it.

    It'd be nice if they had pics and dscriptions of tourist attractions instead of addresses and phone numbers. Thats really gonna sell the county to tourists. Ascii art representations of local tourist attractions.

    Corks a grand place, small enough to be local, but with a good few things to do. Have a look at http://www.peoplesrepublicofcork.com
    But thats a local guide for local people.. are you local ?

    Ah crap its gone offline, just after I buying the t-shirt.

    CometoCork.com is not the Ultimate guide to cork, ist far from it, though I would say that when I am compiling stuff together to make my own guide... not biased I swear.

    No I'm not local - I'm a Limerick born fellah living in Dublin - but I have a lot of relations and family background/history in Cork (I'm an O'Keeffe) and wouldn't mind visiting once in a while, if I knew what Cork was worth going to for apart from visiting relations wink.gif

    Shur, Páic Uí Chaoímh... thats "O'Keeffe Park"! tongue.gif ahar...

    That "Local" thing was a quote from the League of Gentlemen, don't think my fellow Corkonians are like Tubs and her husband though.

    Whats to see in Cork, well theres West Cork, lovely beaches and towns. Kinsales a nice little tourist town, Bantry is cool, the whole Beara penninsula is real breathtaking. Some good places in East Cork too, like Cobh, which has a good Heritage centre.

    That stupid site should show all that, I dunno. Oh you'll have to see Blarney too for the stone and Castle. Go into Blarney Woolen Mills too to see stupid ass americanos dish out loadsa money for wool jumpers and idiotic looking caps. Begorah.

    Speaking of Pairc Ui Caoimh, grrrrr, well done Kerry I suppose.
