Random Waffle Thread

Lately it has been said that there is not enough interest in the carlow board and that some sort of live needs to be brought back into the board. This although hurtful to carlow inhabitants is a very valid point. Our forum is used enough and we really do need to bump up the number of posters on this forum and show certain other counties in the couth east that we can compete with the "BIG BOYS":D *(patrick knows what i mean by this)

So my input into the idea is to make the forum a bit "looser" and more Enjoyable. My input being this thread. Maybe we could use it to talk about anything at all, no guidelines, usual rules just post on whatever topic you want. Might be a chance for carlow people to get to know each other better outside the debates on current events with regard to the county. Maybe no-one or the mods will see this as an asset to the board but it's worth a shot. As a poster in the soccer forums they have recently started such a thread and it seems to be working a treat as distractions usually do.So use it at you're will and SULLY/DUB13 feel free to make the moderations to it as you deem fit or pm me regarding the matter. Lets see how it goes!

Nothing else to say exept who wants to be the first post???:D

Edit : Please also note that there is a count on the Thread too....As in like if you agree with someone instead of having to post a big long complicate reply just say "+1" or if you disagree "-1" or "-100" dependant of what your views may be...:D

They've altered the layout slightly so you can go right from the roundabout rather than having to go down to the entrance.

My bad, never noticed the phone autocorrected "fairgreen" to "fairgrounds"

Did anyone every think that is the most ridiculous car park design? One main entry point and is continuously clogged by people trying to get as close as possible to Tesco and stopping there. Then you go over near the Bridge st and there's usually dozens of free spaces. They could have put another entry point over at the roundabout there

No Right Turn at exit onto Barrack St. seems to be ignored rather than obeyed too.....

If people followed the signage & turned left to roundabout instead the traffic flow'd be better.

The folk coming from the R.H.S. & L.H.S. and letting people out aren't helping at all.

Cyk Lok. Carlow Co. Shortly after the Meridian Motors topic came up on here I saw the PP sign on their gate there.

With Laois Co. Co. Obviously.

They've bike lockers at Heuston Stn.; very secure from what little knowledge i have of how they're operated.

I thought I seen a thing in the ‘clink’, advertising Christmas dinner 40/50€ per head, menu looked very good.

forgive my ignorance what is the clink?

Nokia6230i

Nope. Clink closed Christmas Day; open Christmas Eve & St. Stephens Day mind.

Majority of hotels'll close Christmas Eve & reopen on the 27th.

Dinn Ri'll reopen SSD Night for their Access All Areas night; normally they reopen at 5pm I think.

I see another one of those halting sites across from lyngs. I guess Carlow should be expecting an influx of travellers in the coming months.

How far out from the IT will it be?

That will be a top class sporting venue for them when built.

After the IWA (Irish Wheelchair Association) complex & Tyndall College (Institute?) but before the Dolmen on L.H.S. I think?

It strikes me that it'll end up like the Braun site; a white elephant if it wasn't that already.

Developers have a five year limit on PP and it can be renewed so don't hold your breath.

Seanie Gallagher & the way he might look at you; I'd say he's seriously bulling there's been no takers for the site since he rode into town and was feted as the great white hope by the usual dignitaries & quangos as the towns savior.

I had thought it longer than 09 since Braun closed but it'll be that length again by time a tenant or new buyer is found.7

It's gotta be killing him financially at this stage; must be three years this Springtime (2018) since he appeared on front page of Nationalist about it.

I am going to start to do a couch to 5k for the New Year and was thinking of using the track at Askea I want to do it on my own no boot camps.

A couple of questions if anyone could answer them that would be great.

Is the track open to the public or do you need to be a member of the club?

If you need to be a member does anyone know who or where I should contact?

iwillhtfu

Laurence O'Toole own the track there afaik. They operate a fit for life group also and apparently it's a very well organised club from beginner to competitive. Either way of say you've to be a member to make use of it.

Another club with a track in town are adrenaline running club and these are a very welcoming bunch with a new HQ up beside Murphy cleaning at the MSD roundabout. They've recently introduced several new coaches incl a S&C, Nutrition among others. Also running S&C classes alongside Pilates and others I believe. Gary Flannery is the head man and a nicer man you'll find hard to meet.

On saying all that tracks are great but when I started out years ago I used to go to the local gaa pitch and run the width walk the length then vice versa as fitness improves. Now I go from time to time and sprint the width jog the length. I found it a great process. The S&C classes clubs run will help the body adapt and to be honest when you're in a club they motivate you out the door.

Good luck with it.
