Killarney Thread

oeb

I'm sick of these Tralee folks with all their posturing, and thinking they are popular because they have a big thread.

Come on now folks, give Killarney some love! Killarney folks, identify yourselves!

Anyone else see the sulky racing on the Cork/Killarney road this morning. It was unreal and bloody dangerous. We had to drive on the hard shoulder as both lanes of the road were taken up with the followers.

Hey guys, does anyone know if there is a Triathlon club in Killarney? The new year brings with it a resolution to do a triathlon and since I haven't ever done a triathlon before I was thinking that joining a club would be the best way forward.

Also, in relation to the above post, no internet issues for me

Can trampolines not be dismantled and put away from the winter? I don't know the first thing about them so it is a genuine query.

Massive thanks for posting this.

Was going over the bridge with my dad and sister in the car and thought I saw a trampoline out of the corner of my eye.

Neither my dad or sister spotted it as we were already gone past and thought I was messing, especially as when we went past the next day it was gone ( or at least underwater) and I have been taking awful abuse since, as the first day I had been after a few social drinks in relatives.

Vindication has never been so sweet !!!.

It seems like a strange time of year to be starting a business in Killarney.

Maybe there preparing for a summer opening!

That's for Killarney, Florida. It seems that some of the job websites have poor web scrapers that can't tell the difference.

If you think the recent stroms are bad take a look at what happened back in 6/7 Jan 1839 - the night of the big wind!

"The Night of the Big Wind" by Peter Carr ISBN 1 870132 50 5 Published by White Row Press 1993

These two excerpts from the book came from the "Kerry Evening Post" for the week of Jan 5, 1839:

'KILLARNEY" County Kerry In Killarney and its neighbourhood the hurricane raged with terrible fury. The town sustained much damage and many houses were shattered. Mr. James Goggin's chimneys were blown into the street, and caused that gentleman and the whole neighbourhood much alarm - Mr. Michael McCarthy had a similar cause of terror, the roof of his house being laid quite bare. The windows of the Victoria Hotel were shattered to pieces and many aged tress...were laid prostrate, in every quarter and in all directions and at PALLAS in County Kerry. "The house of an opulent farmer, named John Sullivan, at Pallas, near Killarney, was blown down, and having taken fire, was totally consumed together with a valuable haggard, three cows, and twenty firkins of butter destroyed..."

Ahhhh, sorry about that, I genuinely never heard of a haggard or firkin but the story seemed funnier with my version of haggard.

Radio5

Firkin was a small crate or casket. Used for storing butter.

A brewery cask, about 9 gallons. We used to handle them in shipping business, subject of many weary puns among the warehousemen.

no idea - it isn't on the old 1840s mapping, and wasn't there in 1995 either!...
