tbh, you will be hard pressed to find a job anywhere these days. Just look at the dole queue's and the queues for any place thats currently hiring. Best of luck with the hunt though

The traffic and parking while passing the dole office in Cranmore is scary.

I was waiting for a taxi outside Lidl last week and it was an interesting insight. I would be a habitual Lidl shopper for many years. Nothing much has changed in my house - there was no boom, and so now no recession.

The different cars in the car park, definitely a better model these days.

The two businessmen walking to their car with boxes of Rioja. (Last year, Lidl Rioja would be :eek:)

The northern reg work vehicles parked in the upper left corner, where the driver gets out and walks left out of the car park. (To the dole offices.)

My millionare ex-bosses shopping there. I told them it was good!


/I'm not generally nosey, but 10 minutes outside Lidl is fascinating these days!

Basq

Speaking of Lidl.. anyone see the van outside it today selling Fresh Fish?

bobcar61

I wasn't down that way today but he has been there for a while.I think the is there about 4 days a week.

Not that it wouldn't interest me just I cant really see there being to much wrk in the local B&B's

do you live in the country or town

this makes a diff cause you said bout not much work in the LOCAL b&b..
so saying that the local b&b in the country would be possibly quite ??
whereas the town b&b's should be starting to get busy from now now..

give it a go, you never know

magnumlady

I used to love Fat Frogs too, wish they'd bring them back.

Xiney

Don't fat frogs exist anymore? I know I had one in 2004. I suppose that's 5 years ago now.... heh.

basquille liked the fish monger's shop, if I remember correctly.

I was in there once or twice as well, nice place. No smell - that's important.

I think Starbelgrade has paid a visit to him but don't quote me on that. IIRC he said it was very nice as well.

magnumlady

We've been packing, getting ready to move....not fun.

bobcar61

Oh where are you moving to Val?

magnumlady

Only just up the road from where we are now, but out of the village, thankfully, I've had enough of the boy/girl racers and the drunks.

bobcar61

Boy/Girl racers in Coolaney?

magnumlady

Yep, it's a pain in the backside at times.

I know starbelgrade did, it's in one of the threads up here somewhere, I think he said it was good but pricy, but that probaly depends on what you order. It looked good though but didn't try it yet.

Xiney

God I'm so sleepy. It's only 5:00 pm though, and I have dinner to make this evening.





But I want to watch Battlestar Gallactica in my pjs!

bobcar61

I'm awful sleepy as well. I didn't make it into my own bed until after 6 this morning and I had a full day of college from 9 till 5 so now I'm back in bed:)

Xiney

I'm making a chinese stir-fry with pork.

Just hope we don't get swine flu
