    Well while you gloss over it, think about the people living nearby! I used to live on William Street which is right beside Supermacs. My boyfriend had the side mirrors snapped off his car countless times, as well as having his windscreen smashed in. We were kept awake nearly every weekend night by fights, and one night we had to go down to the alley at 3am in the pitch black because we truly believed someone had been murdered down there and the Guards weren't doing anything about it.

    It doesn't need to be moved completely out of town but I definitely think it should be moved from the centre of town. It may be less accessible but at least then hoards of drunken idiots won't be hanging around it every weekend night.

    Moving Supermacs will not solve any of the issues you mention I'm afraid.

    I think Nightwish pretty much nailed everything when it comes to what sucks in Kilkenny but I'll fire ahead anyway.

    1. The awful apartments. The fact that there used to be an awesome view of Kilkenny coming in the Callan Road and now it's just apartments all around the skyline.

    2. 1.30 closing times. It never fails to irk me that the people who make these laws are the ones least affected by it. And has it worked? Has it f**k.

    3. Unscrupulous politicians. There's enough of them floating around, being the mayor and generally serving themselves. There needs to be a big change in this department.

    4. Lack of an alternative nightclub. It's a pain in the hole that you can't go anywhere after hours for a few more drinks and a dance. Also under this, alternative theatre spaces and music venues. Kytelers is helping to redress the music venue problem so we are getting there but more needs to be done.

    5. Get a college in.

    6. And yeah, Supermacs. I figure it goes without saying.

    I'm not even going to make a point about hens and stags because more than anything, it goes without saying.

    The pubs are open untill 2am now not half one any more.

    Supermacs is grand the only people who would have a problem with it is world of warcraft hobits.

    Who shouldent be out at that hour around drunk people if all they do is sit in the corner of the pub with a sour puss on there face.

    If you think about it whats there to do for anyone who works in kilkenny. By the time your finished work the shops are closed and theres only four things to do go bowling , cinema , pub or drive around.

    ya cant drink and drive to work the next day theres only one good movie out every three weeks and thats for two hours and ya cant really bowl every day. that leaves driving around and the gardas hate that pulling everyone over in woodys

    Wow, what a wonderfully open minded post. Exactly what i expected from someone with a name like "supra lover 87".


    -We've talked about piss-heads fighting outside supermacs. Sounds like you're one of them.
    -We've discussed the idiots revving their civics near woodys, and look what your favourite pastime is.

    It's great to have such diverse viewpoints in this thread.

    And fwiw, there's more to do than bowling, going to the cinema, getting wasted and "drivin' round". However,those are the options that require the least effort/creativity.....

    Capoiera is in the cbs hall in the city itself i think, I know it's definately in the city somewhere, If you can trackdown Jimmy trigger on boards ask him(check the body mod forum/music forums). Or if you know him in real life he's the vocalist from Itchy Trigger Finger, Just ask him.

    Well, of all the wishes expressed here, this is one that can actually be fulfilled in the local elections this summer.
