Drug problem in Enniscorthy?

A better question to ask I think is why it’s called County Wexford blog when he/she only posts about enniscorthy. :pac:

Took this picture Thursday evening (I think it was Thursday) for anyone who hasn’t seen the new pharmacy

I understand that the blogger rarely leaves "Stamps" for long enough to visit the rest of the county.

That matches up with the fact the only remotely positive thing I saw was about stamps. :pac:

The blogger has a more positive/sanitised site here: https://slaneyview.wordpress.com and the "Antique Tavern" also gets a plug. Apparently, the blogger ventures that far on occasion.

I’ve noticed an amusing trend in enniscorthy
It seems impossible to not have an overinflated market in this town.

Off the top of my head

15 takeaways
10 or so pubs
8 chemists
4 or 5 pound shops
God knows how many hair salons or barbers
At one time at least TWO SuperValus

Like no wonder there’s no one around shopping it’s all the same old shíte.

Don't forget the 37.5 charity shops and 19 boutiques for the over 70's :P

So good it needs sharing.

The day after the 'War to end all Wars' is commemorated the first shots of a new war are fired on Rafter Street. Grant's opened their doors today and across the street, work continues apace on Sam McCauley's new premises. It will be interesting to see how this all pans out but at least the old Dunne's Stores outlet has been partially resurrected.

It’ll pan out about how you’d expect

Most will go to the bigger one

I heard it’s sam Macaulays son opening the chemist and he has nothing to do with his fathers business anymore. He is out on his own now

The council have put CPO on lands up the Shannon for social housing.

You should have rang the station and asked if someone might attend the front desk. Pathetic that.

Out for the night enjoying - if that's the word for it - watching my favourite team (the All Blacks) losing to an incredible performance by Ireland but almost assaulted when leaving the pub by a baboon from the shallow end of the gene pool. Imagine the temerity of wearing a shirt for the team that I have supported for years! If I didn't have the responsibility of looking after my son, waiting at home for me, I would have gone back into the pub for him despite him being about twenty years younger than me....Grrr!!! A night out ruined but I never forget an ignorant beardy git!!!:mad:

Shame they don't automatically Bar clowns, this is what damages a pubs reputation over time.

I presume said baboon has never taken to a rugby pitch - easy to be brave in a pub - not quite the same when you receive that ball with a nice freshly painted red cross on it. :-)

Cantona's Collars · 19-11-2018 2:59pm

Saw 2 council trucks this morning full to the brim with illegally dumped rubbish that they picked up,this is an almost daily routine around the town and just seems to be getting worse.

He did say he was cleaning out his fireplace just before add was made.

Idiot. I'm no snowflake. I think he made a bad judgement call, that's it. I think the reaction to it is ridiculous. Seems nobody can do anything now without offending someone.

No it was terrible judgement.

How did he think it was going to be perceived in this PC world? When I saw the video my first reaction was that he hasn't thought this through and there's going to be a backlash.

That's exactly what's happened. It was picked up by national media yesterday and has gotten quite a bit of attention.

I'm surprised that he, and whoever made the video with him, didn't see the danger of offending people themselves.

Nokia6230i · 24-11-2018 12:33pm

The majority, here and elsewhere online don't seem to get why black face is so offensive.

They're clearly okay with mocking people who're black.

Now imagine someone dressed up as, and this may be extreme but I'm making a point, T** H*******s?

Would they be ok with it?

In this situation I don't think he was doing a black face but was actually dressed up as "Black Friday" but I can see why people thought otherwise.

From Smyths -

We would like to sincerely apologize to anyone upset or offended by our recent video post. While naive on our part, we in no way intended to impersonate or insult anyone based on their race, however on reflection we can see how it would be perceived that way and for that we are very sorry.

St Aidan's driving school. I think lessons are between €40-€50 these days.

Agree, utterly ridiculous, yet I received racist comments via private messaging, and not a thing was done.

St Senan · 25-11-2018 7:37pm

Mod Note

Mondo 44.. you received a warning for what you called another poster. The topic of conversation was about a FB video of a white man painted black waggling his tongue and saying the words big mother. Now i suggest you go google "calling someone a Snowflake" and you will see why i gave you the warning.

EverythingGood.. what your hitting at happened last feb/march between you and another poster and it was dealt with by Cmods and Admins back then and i am fairly sure yous were warned not to bring the subject back up again or yous will get a ban.

And please dont quote posts or mod notes from me or any of the other mods here in the future.

This is the end of this matter now so its time to move on

vicwatson · 25-11-2018 7:44pm

I don’t care what anyone thinks but in my experience Navarre has been, and is, one of the best mods on boards. He rarely intervenes unless you act the dick, so for me it’s a thumbs up to Navarre.

Cantona's Collars · 25-11-2018 9:12pm

One of our firemen had his van stolen from outside the doors of the fire station last night. A woman was seen on CCTV taking it and driving off in the direction of the 1798 centre.
Literally metres away from the Garda Station too.

Thought you needed a key for modern cars?
