Delighted the weather broke today, the humidity was cat and at least it'll keep the dust down.

Just thought I'd change the subject :pac:

the hayfever it brings with it is a pain in the a*s! lol My lawn needed some rain, had put down some aftercut seeder & there was no rain for a full week after it!
Hope the rain isn't here for long though, was getting used to the lovely weather!

I nominate Sully! He's a prince among men & would be a boon to our tourist trade.

The weather was great for the last week.
Copious amounts of wine consumed on my patio over the last few days.
Bit of a shock to the system when the rain arrived today .
I am heading to Portugal tomorrow!:D

Another two days of sun and the farmers will go from fodder crisis to drought in the space of two weeks

Hopefully del will hit the big one in casino Estoril and he can trade the reliant robin in for a Ferrari

I know given this is my first post here it doesn't give me a very strong voice but if the truth be told I have been an onlooker of the Tralee Thread for quite some time without getting involved.
I must say that since Sully got involved this place is a much more interesting place. I find his posts (assuming Sully is male) very very amusing and have genuinely roared with laughter at most of his comments. He is the Pat Spillane of the Tralee Thread and every thread needs one.
Whilst I do stop by and read this thread a good bit the discussion can be very bland on this thread. "I hear a new shop here... there ... everywhere" or "I hear a shop is closing down... here.. there. everywhere.
Tralee is certainly not a city of angels which Sully rightly points out in quite a humourous way. If you can't laugh at yourself..... Well a shop might open or close I suppose!
By the way this is not Sully although I'd imagine its the kind of thing he would do:D

Ha ha thanks alot Pal. You aint going to make a lot of friends on here with that post

Probably not but if you can't have a bit of craic on a discussion forum sure whats the point in being involved at all.
People need to lighten up a bit sometimes I think.
Also sometimes regional thread seem to get very clickish. It's fine for someone with many posts to say something negative about the town but when someone new says it it is not acceptable.
This is not exact opening new members with open arms in the community spirit that Boards.ie is meant to be all about.
Hence why it took until now for me to come out of my shell.
All down to Sully:D

Looks as if the mystery around the sudden closure of Lee Records has been revealed. They were hit with a tax bill of €52k in Q1 that was published in the tax defaulters list today. They were not paying their VAT - €27k owed plus €25k in added penalties and interest.

PS I see the hoarding around the new unit on Abbey Street is down - 1320m2. A big space. They have some advertising hoardings in the window so the Dealz tenancy has indeed clearly gone south.

I wonder does the town clerk still have 2 secretaries? He did a couple of years ago! I remember we tried to contact his office, only to find both of his secretaries were on lunch, at the same time! lol

Last I heard, the Dealz thing was still going ahead, they were taking 3 quarters of it and they are looking for a couple of small tenants for the rest.

So that big massive building is only going to house a "euro" shop and a few small shops, bit of a waste no??.

I remember when the Snooker Hall first opened in Pembroke St and doing most of my growing up in there. It had 18 tables and some nights you couldnt get a game in there. At 15 years of age I got the chance to play Ken Doherty and Jimmy White and some other local great snooker players. It was the place to be and kept me out of trouble (most of the time)

A mate of mine went down for a game of snooker last week and the place is a wreck. Only a hand full of tables left,holes in the walls from people punching snooker cues through them. One table had a big bag of rubbish tipped all over it while another one was occupied by a bunch of 15/16 year olds who were constantly passing around joints of weed.

Anybody for a game???

Ahhhh I remember the days of smoking (a fag, not a joint) upstairs, playing a few frames, thems were the days. Practically lived in that place the weekends when I was a teenager.

Everytime I drive by now all I see is tracksuit pants tucked into white socks.

Who knows we may have even played a few frames for the lights. I was partial to a few Benson & Hedges meself

Could have done, was in one or two tournaments but to be fair I was fairly useless compared to some. I think everyone smoked benson in there.....

The hoarding is advertising the whole unit of 1320m2 and also says that it is suitable for sub-division. A good size for an M&S foodhall??

Well you would always get the same four in the John Charles Hoare Cup Semi Final every year. Was a great place and 'Larry's' wasnt a bad place either if you could get a table

Larry's??. Where was that?.
