    Little fecker got me on Saturday. First time ever being stung so spent hours dreading blowing up like a balloon. Baking soda and vinegar paste is the job though.

    Aye, picked up a tube of "Anthisan" in Robert's chemist for €6, still smarts alright, but at least I as you say Adam avoided the balloon effect, unlike a couple of months back when one stung me in the park! I wouldn't mind but I haven't been stung since I was a child growing up in the country and I'd run through a field of foxgloves, you'd say something for getting stung then, but the middle of the city centre? Must be my deodorant! :pac:

    There seems to be no "Lost And Found" thread so I'll just put this here-

    There's a rather large black dog, like a fat greyhound or a labrador (clearly I have no clue about dogs!) doing the block of the Dock Road (where I observed him first and he nearly walked out under a car), round by Henry Street and down again by Windmill Lane.

    The dog has no collar but he looks healthy (assuming he is a labrador and not a fat greyhound!), so he has to belong to somebody. I just figure if anybody lost a black fat greyhound/labrador, looks to be about 14, he's doing the rounds down that area.

    Is anyone here going to this in Dolans tonight?

    http://limerickpride.ie/events/saturday-8th-2/

    Limerick LGBTQ Pride Festival.
    Pride Climax Party Presented by La Boutique X Factor Star Johnny Robinson, Hosted by Sheila Fits-Patrick & Madonna Lucia, Dolans Warehouse, Dock Road. 10.00 p.m Admission 17 euro

    17 euro tbh IS a bit saucy, and I couldn't have less interest in Johnny Robinson (fairness, I'd have paid €20 for the organisers to leave him at home! :pac:), but it should be a good laugh anyway! There wasn't a lot of promotion of it this year either I thought, fairly small crowd at the Hunt Museum earlier. :(

    Anybody knows where I could buy a (good) summer leather jacket in Limerick? Tried all(?) the major shops in the city centre, tried Crescent Shopping Center... I'm quite sure I've seen people wearing leather jackets in Limerick, so they must have bought them somewhere??

    Saw some in Tk Maxx the other day. Also is the leather centre on Roches street still open?

    Hmm, I was going to suggest Penneys as I'd seen them in there the other day, but the OP said a GOOD leather jacket, so I'm stumped. I know Brown Thomas don't have them in anyway even though leather DOES seem to me making somewhat of a comeback this season for some strange reason! Beats the hell outta me, I left mine back in the 80's! :D

    I saw some in Tk Maxx in Cork yesterday but not my size, so I'll give Tk Maxx Limerick a try. Thanks.

    Why so people walk SO slowly on Catherine Street. It's the only street and the only place this ever bothered me before and it's such a narrow path and people walk RIGHT in the centre.

    :)

    I remember when I was looking to lease an office space, Catherine Street has the best footfall in the city centre, there's lots of thriving cafes and businesses down there. It'd be a great location for a central town square too as we don't seem to have one!

    It's a lot older than that. Would suggest that it might go back as far as Scrap Saturday in the 1980's because I can remember the "Thas Limrack citaay" line going back a few decades.

    Did not know there was a new one there. Is it where Slatterys used to be?

    The chipper that opened on the Father Russell road, Fratellis, is quite decent though. .

    Yeah thats where it is - havent a clue what the name of it is though!

    In the area, Tony's on Mulcair road is the best chipper by far!

    Is it me or are there tons of foxes at night on the Condell Road. From the Shannon Bridge to the Coonagh roundabout I passed 5 and there was 1 dead on the road.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 94 ✭✭fredo1664


    I drive daily on the Condell Road and I have seen quite a lot of them recently, but I don't know if they were always the same 2-3 or if there's an ongoing invasion :-)
    I also often run there early morning, and I once passed one which didn't seem too afraid. It just stayed there watching me. I assumed I was safe and these things won't attack people?

    Is there an ignore feature on boards so I don't have to read a persons posts. I'd really like to add say_who_now to it if so. Obnoxious isn't the word and their attitude is seriously making me reconsider posting in the Limerick forum again. They've already driven one poster away from here in the past week.

    eh? I'm lost now source?

    I've often referred to the bus as a sardine tin myself, a sweat box is a new but pretty accurate description. I think you've taken me up wrong perhaps! :o

    Then it may be beneficial for you to articulate your point better.

    Highlighting the word sweatbox quoted from a female poster, then putting nothing but a smiley face in your post comes across as nothing short of juvenile.

    If I took you up wrong then I apologies, but it came across as crass.

    Ah source will you stop, you read into that WAY too much! I was laughing at the way she referred to the bus she was on as a sweatbox!

    But yes, I can see how you might have seen it now, truly that's not the way it was intended, nor anything like it, but I take your point and certainly I'll keep it in mind for future reference! :o

    Saw another two of the little things last night. One hiding behind a tree around the corner from Salesians, the other in an awful condition in the cycle lane a hundred yards further out the road. :( My own theory is that they've started to move towards the Condell Road since the tunnel and the roads around it were built up.

    Also, any opportunity to plug my poems! This one seems relevant.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,424 ✭✭✭jonski


    I was bringing my daughter home from one of her hectic social life partys the other night and I came back into town over the shannon banks bridge ( I am sure it has it's own name but I can't remember it now ) and there was a fox standing in the middle of the road with a " what ? , you never saw a fox before " look on his face and a " I'll finish crossing the road when I am ready " attitude . It seemed young , I guess all teenagers are the same .

    What you are seeing is this year's kits. The ones born later in the season will be a bit gangly legged to look at and skinnier in build to an adult fox. In a few months those that survive will be adult sized.

    Fox mortality in that side of town has become very high since all the changes came in with the roads/tunnel etc and as a result the litter sizes of the foxes have increased to cope with the higher mortality rate. Foxes will, within a breeding season or two, go from regular sized litters to much larger litters to combat the effect of areas that see more kits die from outside factors like predators, vehicles etc.


    Nice poem btw, I like the stanza lay out as it created a nice flow. The lack of a finishing couplet worked also.
