Athlone thread

If you can, drive across to the Oranmore cinema. Most have forgotten it exists.

Can anyone please recommend decent gutter cleaners in Athlone area?

Also, is there anyone that can do a heat loss survey for rooms. North facing rooms in the house are a few degrees colder and also loose heat quickly

Looking to get a proper servicing of a couple windows and the two double doors and main door for proper sealing to prevent heat loss, if anyone has any recommendations, let me know please.

Thank you in advance!

Looking for a place to train cross country around Athlone. Ideally grass or dirt track that has hills on it and 1-5k long.

The AIT has a track but looking for other options? Any pitches got tracks around them?

Probably an obvious answer in this but has anyone seen a local densist who can do emergency extractions. Rang our usual one who couldnt even fit us in this week. I imagine this is the case everywhere but let me know if im wrong

West side dental on the roscommon road have fitted some work colleagues of mine in at short notice too. They liked them in there.

First Tommy Helilfinger now Steve Busciemi. The lookalikes they are getting to pose there are really doing a great job

Huh?

On another note, this is on Wednesday night, Athlone is the subject of it

Some job from the councillors. May set a national tone on the issue.

Then again the outgoing minister was and is a tool. Perhaps they'd have lost with a more organised minister

The action taken by the Athlone based westmeath co councilors saying the IPA site had no proper planning permission has been conceded by the state.

I guess that means the whole thing will need to be shut down?

Or will it remain operational pending planning permission? (A la mr price)

Was sat at the roundabout outside Dunnes the other day for 15 mins, no traffic moving, lights at the pedestrian crossing still not working so people were just walking across, which is grand, but traffic had backed up down to O'Briens trying to get around! Its a joke!

Jaysus the road up past Blyry and Ericsson is chronic bad with traffic heading towards town from about 5pm. Complete standstill

I pass through there going in the town direction most weekdays around 5pm. The traffic light sequencing along there is a disaster. The lights at the Blyry junction would be green, but the lights at the bypass bridge would be red, with the traffic backed up. So you may not get to move anywhere before they switch.

You don't know what a traffic light is? Next time you clock off, I'll help you experience one.

And yes, WFH is class.

I bet people can guess which pub it started in. An establishment which has reinvented itself as the go to spot for certain clientele

Hey all, Looking to get attic insulation upgraded and cavity wall bead insulation, any recommendations for companies who do this around Athlone?
