It's the smell of smug richness.

Blackrock? Have you been to Leixlip? Leixlip = stinky winky at the end of the village (ozone)....

Dragan · 28-08-2007 10:57AM

It's the smell of success wouldn't you know.

bronte · 28-08-2007 11:00AM

I used to work in the ozone...used to cry every time I had to clean the smoking area,the smell was so bad.
It was meant to be fixed by the end of august but I wouldn't bet on it. :mad:

Note: The smell has nothing to do with the Ozone. It's from a dodgy pipe near the Rye, on the other side of the street.

bronte · 28-08-2007 11:47AM

yup, dodgy sewers... they really have to sort that out.
Every bloomin politician promised me it'd be dealt with...same thing every election :rolleyes:

Ah they are sorting it out, they're re-routing pipes in Leixlip. They used to just dump chemicals in. Ever smell it on a hot WINDY day? It used to reach my school...a good bit away.

Its our new defense against the commoners initiative, keep you riff raff out of our fair village.

Eeeww Leixlip stench, just reminded of coming home from In-hell on a Friday when the traffic would be brutal and you'd have to sit there without breathing for 5 minutes.

Festival week is the best.
Lots of tourists nearly puking on a hot Sunday afternoon. All you can do is laugh.

zuutroy · 28-08-2007 02:57PM

Do the locals become immune to it?

Terry · 28-08-2007 03:29PM

I wouldn't think so.
Mind you, I'm rarely down that way, so it still affects me when I do pass by it.

Don't think leixlip locals are immune to the stink...I've been here 23 years and it still gets me. tis fun to watch the visitors try to cope with it at festival time alright

Someone'd make a fortune selling nosepegs!

I'm not supposed to tell anyone, but the members of Leixlip town council came up with the idea of moving the smell in Leixlip to another town.
Looks like they settled on Blackrock.

Then the blackrockers have alot more coming for them. There is still an awful stench here... Until 2K9 I heard:mad:

I don't think they did a good job

All these people knowing about the Leixlip smell, are we really that famous?

Lirange · 28-08-2007 09:31PM

Put a cosmetics factory there to rid the area of the stinkweed.

Smething like 5,000 working in intel. I'm sure a good number of them used to get to work by going through the village.

@5000 employed but only around 10 of them actually work. But I digress.....
