It's the same as everywhere else these days, there's not much buzzing going on, apart from the Bees.

Was there many around for race week?

I was passing trough town today and the the proposed grrenway came into my taughts and I still can not get it into my head the route .Who came up with the brain wave of putting extra trafic onto John b Keane road is some joker .I raught a Listowel by-pass meant a road bypassong Listowel not putting extra traffic onto an already dangerously busy road in town .The biggest bottle neck is surely bridge road and what advantage will any of this bypass be there ,mad ,mad,mad

Any end date for the current road works in Listowel ?

I don't think that anyone is surprised that Bridge Road is being dug up again, with the exception of the powers that be who authorised the original works to be carried out. They didn't listen to the mere mortals, the very same mere mortals who will end up footing the bill for the balls up.

I understand that it's been decided that the farting little cycle lane that was constructed is three feet wider than it should be, something the world and his dog knew to be the case at the time.

Setting up a book club in Listowel. If anyone has any interest message the facebook page Fiction Addiction Bookclub Listowel.

Another business gone down the toilet in Listowel. I expect KCC will quadruple the Local Property Tax in an effort to make up for the commercial rates that they won't be getting once a few more businesses in the town vanish without trace.

I think most people have pinned the blame for this on all the roadworks that seem to have being going on in very recent years, not to mention the ongoing bypass roadworks that have completely screwed up the existing traffic system.

Thanks to the most recent sneaky move by Roderic O'Gorman's crowd, the gang of roving protesters will no doubt soon be descending on Listowel to start a riot, thanks to DP accommodation being set up next to the girls' convent school. It's pretty much a repeat of what happens all over the country, and there's never anything said by the government to put anyone's mind at rest. At this stage, even the most welcoming and charitable people are beginning to wonder what on Earth is going on.

I won't be gathering anyone, because rent-a-thugs from elsewhere in Ireland will make certain that any protest will be far from peaceful. Anyhow, I imagine that something is already being organised without any help from me.
