Random Waffle Thread

Lately it has been said that there is not enough interest in the carlow board and that some sort of live needs to be brought back into the board. This although hurtful to carlow inhabitants is a very valid point. Our forum is used enough and we really do need to bump up the number of posters on this forum and show certain other counties in the couth east that we can compete with the "BIG BOYS":D *(patrick knows what i mean by this)

So my input into the idea is to make the forum a bit "looser" and more Enjoyable. My input being this thread. Maybe we could use it to talk about anything at all, no guidelines, usual rules just post on whatever topic you want. Might be a chance for carlow people to get to know each other better outside the debates on current events with regard to the county. Maybe no-one or the mods will see this as an asset to the board but it's worth a shot. As a poster in the soccer forums they have recently started such a thread and it seems to be working a treat as distractions usually do.So use it at you're will and SULLY/DUB13 feel free to make the moderations to it as you deem fit or pm me regarding the matter. Lets see how it goes!

Nothing else to say exept who wants to be the first post???:D

Edit : Please also note that there is a count on the Thread too....As in like if you agree with someone instead of having to post a big long complicate reply just say "+1" or if you disagree "-1" or "-100" dependant of what your views may be...:D

Yeah like we will have to incorporate that count factor in too, I overlooked that. Consider it added to topic. +1 / -1 Counts.
Hope this works out well.

i definitely agree to that...

Lads let me tell you of a special place where the burgers stand 6 inches tall, the fries are to die for, the milkshakes are litres not small glasses..This my friends is not a dream. I dare not lie to you...Such a place with unbelievable food exists..I CALL IT EDDIE ROCKETS...

I go to it lately down in waterford, that's what we need in carlow, And the uniforms ain't half bad either;)

Sully · 13-03-2008 7:24pm

Just a reminder, the forum charter and Boards.ie rules still apply to this thread.

Eddie Rockets is well over priced and the food isnt that great. Some of the portions is nice, and its better then McDonalds but jaysus its hardly the god of take-aways :P

How does that work? tommy, were you still drinking there after it closed down?

tommycahir · 14-03-2008 9:23am

mmmm what i actually meant was that i only started drinking there for last few years while i was in collage, which would have been 2002-2004.

For some reason i remember being in there at xmas 2003 [Dec 18th I think it was] after a graphics programming exam for the day?

sure it was closed in 2003?

ShayK1 · 14-03-2008 9:44am

me personally.... Not idea when it closed. I was only ever in there once or twice but I'd expect patrick to know since he worked there .... lets see what he says

tommycahir · 14-03-2008 9:55am

indeed.. maybe it has been all the drinking during collage has made my memories slightly distorted! :S

Did anybody else notice that most the threads in this forum tend to degenerate into the food or drink conversations or where to have food or drink! :S

ShayK1 · 14-03-2008 9:59am

HHMmmm I hadn't noticed that... maybe us carlovians are all fat alcoholics?

It's Carlow, what else is there to do in the place

I remember that kid you were talking about in Zeds, he was in there a good bit. I remember being in there with a crowd of lads in college and the little fecker beat about 7 lads in a row before one of the boys narrowly beat him.
