That could be Monday off for me - I've a lecture and tutorial down there.

I presume the WGB was sandbanked, or something, with all the new equipment and computers inside there! Same with the computer in the Connolly!

You very well could get what you want. The dam having to release water due to having 8 times what it usualy deals with(breakingnews.ie) more severe rain due in cork later tonight and high tide coinciding with the rain. Baton down the hatches i say.;)

Buceph

If anyone is without water they have some in the off license near Lennoxes.

A friend of mine is working in there and what he told me was very heartening. They've dropped the price of water to cost price. And they're ordering in 5 litre drums for tomorrow. You can put your name down for them and they'll ring you when they get them in.

It's good to see people not gouging and doing the decent thing. I'm very impressed with them.

Its strange, the power to our plug sockets was went around 3 last night, but we still had lights working. I dont know if our landlord has flood insurance! :eek:

They are on different circuits. Usually sockets are on one loop, cooker and other white appliances are on another loop and then lights are on a third loop.

It's cause the sockets and lights are wired into different trip switches,The plug would of tripped but the lights weren't in water(i assume) so won't go off! At least I think so!

Some of the photos from the Mardyke - not mine. Will probably be closed for about a month as the floor of the hall is now floating, as it quite a lot of furniture!

Load of equipment inside destroyed as well

Last one shows where the pool cover cuurently lies

Ah yes, Cork "the Venice of the North". Saw a picture where some one photoshoped a gondola onto the grand parade, with the above caption next to it. Will post a link to it if I can find it.

EDIT: found it http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2055744976&page=8. Aout half way down the page.

Sucks about the Mardyke...that'll cost a fortune to sort out!! And as for people playing in the water...I personally wouldn't go near it, most of what is at surface is going to have sewage in it.
