    Just to say that some friends of mine while walking through town got persuaded to come onto a double decker bus where some ppl tried to persuade them to join there cult in exchange for their house and all their worldly possessions

    Is there many of these cults floating around in galway? I thought they mostly kept to the capital

    I'd love to join a cult for the craic. I'm bitterly disappointed I never get to run into any of the Jehovah or other religious nuts.

    This the thousands of eejits in galway who believe that Charcoal is a good kebab shop and they aren't just as bad as kebab house pecause they've never had a good kebab in their lives.

    No such thing as a good kebab in galway, Charcoal is fecking muck.


    Give me Al Kebabish in Athlone or Isakanders in Dublin anyday over the chewy crap in a cheap pita pocket that passes for a kebab in this fecking town!


    Besides that, me likes Galway.

    A few weeks ago myself and my girlfriend were walking through Eyre Square. It was close to midnight and absolutely lashing. Right in the centre of the Square was around 20 black people with babies in prams shouting halelujah and praising Jesus, much to the amusement of other people.

    If it's the bus I'm thinking of then you're friend is talking through their hole, it's been going around the country all year, from some small envagelical christian church, they offer free tea and coffee to people and wittness to them and give out litrature. They're a bit annoying but besides that they're harmless, a lot of old catholic women volunteer on the bus.

    Father Dougal: God, Ted, I heard about those cults. Everyone dressing in black and saying our Lord's gonna come back and judge us all!

    Father Ted: No... No, Dougal, that's us. That's Catholicism.

    I bet whoever was organising that advertised wedding fair in the Clayton hotel recently must be drooling looking at this pic.

    WTF is a Moonie?

    TBH I reckon some people join a cult just to be part of a group/community ie. they have no friends/social skills/family etc

    Discussions like "are there any cults in Galway" rapidly descending into meaningless, because people have different ideas about what a "cult" is. Some people I know think that the Baptist church is a cult, others think it's totally mainstream. Etc.

    If a discussion can enlighten people in some way,it will never be meaningless.

    was'nt/isn't there a wicca 'cult' in galway somewhere?
    i feel nervous using the word cult as i'm sure it's the wrong term to describe wiccan groups!:o
