Homeless Wherers - all are welcome, old and new!

I've been that parent and he's been that child too 🤣

The worst thing is the cancellation text 5 mins before you are due to leave. At least give us time to enjoy our little dance!

Not long out of bed and still exhausted . Putting the heat on and go back to it is my thinking . Still no Internet here , pushed back to at least the 18th which is messing with my podcasts .

They are usually ok once we get there and are pretty handy with a hurl. However I feel like they were an Egyptian cat in a previous life as comfort and heat followed by food 😂 😂

Hello Cork. Please recommend a good hotel for a crew on a layover for 24 hours. And any pub/restaurant suggestions

If it's for 24 hours, I'd recommend a hotel in the city centre, either the Imperial or Maldron on South Mall, or the Metropole on MacCurtain Street. The Dean Hotel out by the train station might also be worth a look-in, it's the standard hotel my former employer uses for visitors to the Cork office. All of these will put you either in the city centre or within easy walking distance of it.

Restaurant-wise, I can recommend Jacobs on the Mall, Market Lane on Oliver Plunkett Street, or Sophie's on the top floor of the Dean Hotel. I've eaten at all of those myself (on company money), and I find all of them to be either very good or excellent. The Glass Curtain on MacCurtain Street is supposed to be good as well, but I haven't been there myself yet. Pub-wise, my go-tos would be either the Shelbourne on MacCurtain Street or the Franciscan Well on North Mall, although that's a bit of a walk. Crane Lane or Arthur Mayne's might also be worth a look-in.

Tempted to head down to Cork now after those suggestions. I also fancy a decent pint of Murphy's closer to home.

Barbarossa is my go-to day drinking pub. Love sitting outside watching the world go by and having a few drinks, then getting their really nice fish & chips before pouring myself onto the bus home! 🤣

I wouldn't mind a trip to Cork , just for a pint in Pa's . The last time drove by it , it had expanded greatly from the shebeen it used to be . The 1st time I was there I had a a smallish case/bag . I left the bag in the bar to go downstairs to the loo . The relief when I came back was palpable. They weren't used to nordies in the early 90's 😁

Count me in, I’ll be waiting for you 😃

Just finished lunch here. For a day that was supposed to be rainy and miserable, it’s turned out to be a surprisingly nice day!

I'd recommend waiting a little longer for that, the weather forecast is depressing, to put it mildly…

No rain (or especially wind!) dances today please Wherers 🙏
