    No courthouse or MacDonagh. Don't really know how they did it but I suspect it may have been the streetview thing they had driving around. You can see a car as part of the wall of the Post Office. Has to be recent with the 300years on the Brewery.

    Looking for a couple of volunteers tomorrow evening for about an hour if anyone is willing to help. Duties are to stand on a corner for 15-30 minutes wearing a hi-viz jacket and watch a few cyclists out near Kilmanagh, if anyone can help.

    This seems to be the site by the person/people who are doing them up. Seems Google has a program called Sketchup for making them up.

    I've used Google Sketchup before - It's fairly intuitive but to get that level of detail takes a lot of time. Fair play to them.

    He's pretty much everywhere at the moment.

    If there's one thing the good weather will do it's bringing out Tootsie in grand wheeling fashion.

    Oh Tootsie, what hijinks will you get up to next?

    Tumbleweed on the boards today. Is everyone making the most of the good weather? Is anyone going to the pump house later? Haven't heard the barflies in a while.

    Think they might have beat you to it, heard from a reliable source that one of little sh1ts were going around town a few days ago shooting randomly at people with a bb gun from his modified dirt boxes. Feckin law unto themselves :mad:

    On a completely different note, whats the story with the new glass building on the back of the Court house? is it an extension to the existing court house or is it going to be used for something else?
    Haven't been in town in ages and was suprised to see it completed, they'd only started on it last time I was in.

    As some of you guys know, I cycled over to Moret sur Loing last week for the Susie Long hospice. On the way there I took some snaps and a loads of videos and put them into this one 10 minute video with a soundtrack. Of five hours of video I managed to take a minutes worth out of it :(

    Bit of one way traffic in the minor, hopefully the seniors will take a similar score line :) (doubtful though). If Cork win, I'll never hear the end of it.

    My tiny body has huge pain. I don't know how someone so small drank so much last night. Went to Morrisons for the first time in a year, still the same tunes (but the are good). Have to admit, I now understand completely why I stopped going out, doesn't help my single status but meh. Anyway, back to dying in the corner.

    Doubt it was me, I was cycling up the Wicklow mountains/ Dublin today. I can't actually think of who it could be unless Cabaal got his gear which I don't think he did. Could be Waterford or Carlow clubs. Post your sighting here :)

    Very possible it was me yesterday, I was wearing the old jersey, it's navy and orange. Here's a load of the guys wearing them:

    There's four from our club who post regularly in the cycling forum and there was also another regular from this forum there with me yesterday. The reason why the lead guy would have been sweating like a paedo in a creche is because the front guy does more work than those behind because he's taking the wind resistance and those behind would be in his slipstream thus not having to work as hard, which is why cyclists will always try to be in a group.

    Over in the new lidl today (I realised I didn't have a wheel brace for the car last week), it was packed. They're doing a spend €50 and spin a wheel where you can win a 4 pack of chewits, Belgian chocolates, a key ring or €50 voucher for LIDL (there isn't a snowballs chance in hell of getting this one), also they have like a special reduced section with hands free for €10 which I bought, remote control cars for €25, a circular saw for sfa and a couple of other things. I'm pretty happy that LIDL have come over to this side of town.
