Passed first time with him myself, he's been around years and really knows his stuff.
Fireworks are illegal, and TBH it is a disgrace that all the scrotes that are letting them off at the moment, frightening pets and older people, don't have them shoved where the sun don't shine, and then lit.
Absolutely 1000%. After what seemed like a lull last year it's like Beirut now at night.
Very appropriate user name - every year people get severely injured by fireworks, pets get traumatised and go missing, never mind the fact that you are asking for something illegal on a public forum!!
I saw loads in eurogiant, looked more like sparklers and those ones we used to throw on the ground as kids than actual foreworks tho.
I am up in Donegal tho to be fair, maybe its a because its near the border thing.
I dont think you can buy them over the counter.
You can get them in loads of places in London when I was there. People go mad setting them off coming up to guy fawkes but then it was all very respectfully done. Never heard or seen any trouble and plenty of dog n cat owners there.
Almost got taken out this morning around 7.10am after collecting my niece from the gym at Gurtnafluer.On the by pass going back to town about 500mts from Gurtnafleur a bloody Donkey with a broken rope aroung his neck appeared in front of us.Swerved violently and just missed him as did the car behind me.Phew ,did we get a scare.Road was busy at the time.Wonder did anyone hear of any incident on the road today?
What was the name of the pub at the corner of Anglesea Street and Parnell Street. where Paddy Power is now? I seem to remember it had a dubious reputation.
the horseman pub?
On google maps the text "Annie Kehoes" comes up for the corner building where paddy powers is now, and I remember constant barrel banging in there when I lived in the area.
I'm not a big drinker, but I remember the coachmans and morans in the area from walking past them.
...
Annie Kehoes is still there. This pub was in Anglesea Street
Pub was called the horseman I think, it's where paddy powers is on the corner of that street.
Where the junction cafe was called the favourite pub.
yes JJ O Connor had the favourite, horseman was across the street where Powers is now.
Thanks, that was it. It's amazing the amount of pubs that were in the town that are now closed.
Annie kehoes is directly opposite Paddy Power.
While on the subject of that junction, I see Denis Lacy house is up for sale.
I know that the building has used for different activities over the years ,
I never knew or even questioned who owned the building.
You'd wonder who will buy it and for what purpose
I played snooker upstairs when I was about 10 or 11.My father was a member of Fina Fail and was able to use the room.I think FF had some rights to the building at the time.
I remember Noel Aherne's ministerial Merc parked outside, during his brief ministerial career.
Anybody have opinions on Pa Moore Car Sales in Clonmel or any car sales around Clonmel?
Pa Moore is a well established car dealer. Been around for years.
Noel Davern id say you are thinking of.
Yep. 😬 Oops
Correct.My father(RIP) was quiet friendly with Noel.
He was appointed Minister of Education by Haughey after the Albert Reynolds heave. Some paper called him a "backwoodsman". So he apparently addressed the next FF meeting he was at with the greeting "Fellow backwoodsmen…"
I used to have a few pints out in the Halfway House when he ran it.
never knew he ran the half way. When was this?
Noel Davern was a good man for Tipperary.
I'm not sure what the ownership status was, but he was there behind the bar in 1986/1987. In fact I think I may have been in the bar the night he was elected. Now this is the Halfway House between Clonmel and Lisronagh we are taking about.
I’d be 99.9% sure Noel Davern never ran the half way. He spent a lot of time there but that’s a different story.
