    A bus to south kildare/nass/newbridge is defiantly needed!!!!


    The only one at the moment is the Kavanaghs one which is a pile of ****e. I commuted for a year and it wasnt worth the money I saved. The bus never got in before 9.15 and it was frequently late. When the bus is running late or there's problems the office dont answer the phone. One of the drivers who used to drive the Naas bus was a cantankerous auld bastard and would always stop for a fag even when he was running late

    I'll go one better. For my teaching practice, I was placed in Dunboyne. Not all that far from Maynooth, really. By train though, it involved getting a train to Clonsilla at 7 in the morning, and praying that there'd be no delays, so I wouldn't miss the connecting train over to Dunboyne >_>


    Yikes. I used to drive through Dunboyne on my way to my work placement. I probably could have given you lifts

    Yeah , and that's only for college purposes like if you need to go to Naas on a Sat/Sunday or the evening you're royally screwed !

    I'm jumping on the Subway bandwagon! I love that place.
    I hate O'Brien's:mad:

    O' Briens is some rip to be fair. Subway would have queues out the door if there was one in Maynooth.

    id bring back some of the places that have closed down over the years, like the creative arts center, and the L.A(what mantra used to be) which was the biggest hole in the town but an enjoyable one nonetheless. €2.50 a drink on a monday as far i remember

    also the stage in the roost is too close to the bar and the entrance much to my annoyance,

    would agree with everyone on the subway vs O'briens issue, only reason i wasted all my money there in the first place was because i taught i was in with a chance with the girl who works in it, because she calls me dear, hart was broken when i realized she was saying that to everyone

    The pedestrian crossing should be obliterated. Its like all the fu#k tards showed up every time I try to go over it. It's like they plan to ensure there is always one really slow walking person on it. Ugh!!!

    I was pretty sure the arts centre was still open....

    The LA was an absolute dump I'm so glad it's gone, though maybe if I was of legal age when it was around I would have seen more of its colourful charm rather than the negatives!! :L

    After today I want to change the self service machines in Tesco-just bought credit there last night, but the actual credit thing didn't come out, went to customer services today,explained it and they said there was nothing they could do !!!! Grr :mad:

    There is something they can do. if the slip with the credit didn't come out then it would've popped up as a printer error on screen where the supervisor stands. When that's confirmed they should've refunded you or gave you the credit

    I've used the self service machines in tescos twice since I came back. Each time I scaned the items through and finished paying for them a member of staff would come over and bend down beside me to pick something off the floor, the first time a coin and the second time a receipt, to see if I had scaned all the items through? I mean wtf? Only in Maynooth would shop keepers make such insinuations.

    So ya, the mentality of locals here could do with changing.

    I'm sorry I should refrain that; the mentality of the local peasant population could do with changing.

    Perhaps I suffer from delusions of persecution which suddenly get triggered once I return to Maynooth or maybe it's just the fact I live in a hick town?

    Eh, are you honestly asking 'Why are you local?'
    Generally the answer to that is 'because my parents live here'.
    What kind of ridiculous question is that?

    If you don't like the town, college transfers are fairly handily organised you know.

    I think the poster just left out an all important comma, so they meant, "Why, are you local?". That's how I interpreted it anyway!

    No I'd prefer if the local population was tranfered on mass to Afghanistan or Iraq, somewhere where they might be of some use.

    Y'know, if it's a case where there's either a problem with everyone else in Maynooth, or just you, Occam's Razor kinda leans toward the problem being you.

    I'm going to stop feeding the troll now. It's boring.

    There are no decent pubs in Maynooth with reasonable student prices! If you compare it places like Galway, Sligo, Dundalk etc, where there is brilliant student offers in loads of pubs, some of them over 70% lower than in Maynooth!

    In fact just on the town itself, I think it possibly has one of the worst selection of pubs in Ireland! Basically what I'm saying is there is no pub life in Maynooth at all because of the unaffordable prices, and everyone just drinks at home.

    At least in Dublin there are cheap places like Diceys and you have massive selection even if its dear. And the SU bar has poor promotions and offers, theres only a crowd in it 4 or 5 times a year for the big nights.
