Town is getting quiet alright,and I'm sure it will get worse before it gets better:(

I saw that in the Sligo Weekender today there was an article about a company going to apply for planning permission for a shopping center at Cranmore. At the moment I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing.I know it would create jobs during construction if granted but then what are the chances of the units been filled when complete.

They probaly wait building it for while. The rents from comercial units would go down a lot with a overkill of empty property's

Agh i have to go to work at 5. That means i have to get out of bed and actually do something.
Would someone like to do me a favour and go to work for me...it's only for a few hours:) Please:D

Heard this on the news.

It may be the most pointless sport that nobody understands but Ireland beat the Netherlands in cricket today by 6 wickets(whatever that is) so now they have qualified for the World Cup:)

Thought you might like to hear that tulip,I hope your not a fan of cricket.

It's actually just a bunch of guys to whom they explain the rules of the game a few hours before hand.

That makes two of us. It were probably a few guys that went for a picknic and ended up at a cricket field.

I wonder now if we have a national rugby team too? Need to google.

They sure do. Look here. That's another sport that Ireland are better at than the Dutch:)

And the scottish too for that matter:D You can thanks me later Mrs.T:D

Cricket's not THAT hard to understand - A guy throws a ball at some sticks with the intention of knocking them over. In his way is a guy with a bat whose job it is to protect the wickets by whacking the ball out of the reach of the "catchers" from the other team. Meanwhile, while the ball is in flight, he makes as many runs back & forward between the wickets as he can before they get the ball back to knock the wickets.

It's simple, but quite boring.

I think you meant very boring:P

We have a fairly good team. Didnt we beat Pakistan a couple of years ago at the last world cup, which was a biggie. So Netherlands wouldnt be a big result afaik. Its dead boring though!

bobcar61

I think that was more of a fluke than skill. We lost to Afghanistan last week.

It was in the World Cup in Jamaica when we beat Pakistan and narrowly lost to Zimbabwe.

Are you coming out of the closet then as a cricket fan or all sports?!

I prefer the sport of "watching paint dry".

On another note, I was listening to Newstalk today & they were talking about how much money people spend on weddings these days. They were interviewing people on the street about what they'd spend on wedding dresses. The interviewer asked one posh Dublin bird if she thought €10,000 was too much to spend on a dress, to which she replied "Oh my god, yes... I mean loike, I used to be a fashionista, loike, but now, loike, I'm more of a frugalista, stroke, recessionista, loike, yah."

F*ck me. I always hated the term "fashionista", but "frugalista" & "recessionista" ???????!!!!! - we really need to legalise arms in this country.

Another reason to move down the country. You dont want to end up with a criminal record surrounded by all that. You'd be forced into it!

I remember a member of staff been run over by the Arsenal team bus a few years back while it was reversing into the grounds, but I never heard of anyone dying under suspicious circumstances - how much does a suspicious circumstance weigh exactly?

hey want cant be good at every thing (but we try though). But thanks for giving Mrs.T more ammo against me!! Rugby and cricket are not very popular in the netherlands, probably because we are sh*te at them.
