    I noticed how we all seem to do nothing but moan and complain about everything.
    So i'm starting this thread about a lit of positive things about Carlow IT and carlow Town. It could also prove usefull for listing services for people.

    The college is always clean.
    We have great computer services in comparison to other colleges.
    The town has plenty of pubs and chippers for it's size.
    It has a bowling ally and a bit of a cinema.
    A varity of shops.

    Add to the list and remember no negative posting.




    Mord, is this gets good will you make it a sticky

    Most accom is near the college
    The college is near the town
    The price of a pint is still reasonable:)

    i quite like the Ivy rooms in carlow, heading down town during a 2 hour class break for a few games of pool or snooker.

  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 23,555 ✭✭✭✭Sir Digby Chicken Caesar


    it's hardly that bridge in the park is it? ., the lil half circular one? that certailny goes nowhere. although I always make a point of walking through it when I can :)


  • Moderators, Education Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 19,022 Mod ✭✭✭✭Moonbeam


    No tis a big white bridge down near where the ducks are in graigcullen:)
    The Gaol was where superquinn and surrounding areas is now,
    Did u never hear any of the ghost stories from the town??


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,601 ✭✭✭ShayK1


    so thats what the Big Stone wall is around Superquinn!

    Never heard ghost stories aboout Carlow and i only live 10 minutes away!


  • Moderators, Education Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 19,022 Mod ✭✭✭✭Moonbeam


    Only heard a few,
    Was convinced 2 of my houses were haunted though so had to do some detective work!!
    Thats how I found out about the Gaol etc


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,601 ✭✭✭ShayK1

    Cant really remember any in great enough detail to type them out and get them right,well any that arent from my possible over active imagination anyway


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,219 ✭✭✭Redrocket


    i like the promotions in some of the pubs, at the start of the year there was stuff like buy a pint get one free in sheriffs, and the edge had a few good promos before. also naked mud wrestling and the strippers in the edge was good craic.
    i have to admit the computers in the college are pretty good considering we could all be using ****ty Pentium1 200 or something, P3 800 is decent enough for a college. network is a bit ****ty at times but we wont get into that.
    I LIKE THE PORTAL OF LIGHT


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,272 ✭✭✭i_am_dogboy


    yes...........the portal is cool
    spam

    indeed

    I remember when ye thought your house was haunted. Me and andy even had to get into the attic and walk around it to prove to you and bernie that there was no one living up there.
    Who was it in the end, was it sean that was acting the **** or something?


  • Moderators, Education Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 19,022 Mod ✭✭✭✭Moonbeam


    I remember:)
    We got the Attic Bolted after that:)
    Think that was the same day that I got in from college and someone was in the shower but D and Sin were out and so i presumed that it was Bernie,The shower was dripping when I went upstairs and the bathroom steamy but Bernies room was locked and it turned out that she was in work,and no one was in the house,that started the attic man theory!
    we had more instances in my house on green road too

    was there any weird things in 102 TomTom


  • Hosted Moderators Posts: 3,290 ✭✭✭TomTom


    The only weird thing in 102 was the dissapearing of our rent. We were haunted by the ghost of macky the money nacker.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 355 ✭✭Headcase


    yeah, the prick!!
    and Snowball, the staff aren't nice. they're ****in useless.

    i'd be nice too, if i could sit around all day and do nothing.

    oh wait, i did that in Scraggs all year


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,601 ✭✭✭ShayK1

    I dunno dude, I have had lots of help from the staff. Computer services always lend me stuff (the lads have seen that one). Student services r very helpfull and so on.
    I asume there r a few muppets but I have not had any probs yet. I am probably luck though
