It's no longer O'Connell's! That pub has gone back to its old name, The Old Quarter.
The quiz stopped a few weeks before the change. I'll have to get on to one of the lads to find out if they have any plans to bring it back.

Now you mention it, I vaguely remember walking past it over Christmas and the O'Connells signage had being taken down. Pity about the quiz, never managed to make one of them but was taking with fews friends the other day and we were going to head into it.
Anyone know of any others quiz nights about the place?

JJ & Roger the two old General Managers took it over there a few weeks ago.

ahhhh my own personal rant thread .

People of Limerick city and county ...TURN ON YOUR FECKING FOG LIGHTS WHEN IT'S FOGGY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Had to make the trip out to Adare and back in this morning at 8 o clock and the fog was pretty bad and two cars and two trucks had their fog lights on everyone else figured that they were an unnecessary added extra to their car that made it cost more and use more fuel ( I'm guessing ) . These were also the same people that thought because the motorway is 120k speed limit that you have to drive that fast regardless of conditions ........ morons ...MORONS !

Right , thats done , time for breakfast .

langdang

I think most of the morons wander round with fog lights on all the time so they forget about them. On the rare occasion that they are useful, said morons promptly reach for the switch and toggle them off, full sure they are actually turning them on...

Either that or you someone without ANY lights on in the dead of night. -_-

So I just applied to be one of those annoying chuggars... Well... Gotta do what you gotta do!

Oh yeah, does anyone know how to stop keys sticking on a laptop keyboard without taking out the keyboard too lazy for that! :P

Met not one, but two seperate idiots of that variety about 30 minutes ago. One on the Ballyclough/Rosbrien road driving at speed and the second a few minutes on the same road.

With a can of condensed air, or a hair dryer on the cold setting, tilt the keyboard at an angle, keys facing downwards and blow it out.

Limerick Leader headline from the not so distant future:


Local chugger still in critical condition as doctors try to remove his head from his bum after altercation with annoyed handsome man.

Was driving my silver car this afternoon alright, and was in the city centre for a little bit.

Might have been me you saw, but there is another silver, as well as a black, and a blue version of the same model in Limerick city/county.

The other silver is in town far more often than my one, as I normally use the audi as my day to day car with my silver horsey and my black SS being used less often around town.

langdang

Did ya see the jack reacher movie? Red SS in car chase. S'nice.

Kess73

Have not seen the film. The idea of Tom Cruise playing Jack Reacher just grates with me.


What year SS is in the film?

So the council decided to put a footpath on Ellen street by the car park and remove all parking spaces. However they didnt take away the disabled space so they can block the street but nobody else can park there. Pain in the ass, street was handy to park on. Footpath are not required are that side of the street!

There are still plenty of people parking at both sides of the road now, it's a real pain in the arse.

As you said there was no need of a new path there.

It's as bad as mulgrave street. They were afraid to upset people with a full bus lane so built some of it and pushed on for fear of upsetting people.

Double yellows indicate a clearway, putting a disabled spot in the middle is counter productive. That or too lazy to remove the original disabled space metal pole.

They didn't even have to remove the pole. They just had to change the sign from disabled parking, to no parking.

Place on Dock Road beside enterprise cars have a sign outside saying new tyres for €30.

Would not be keen to buy tyres from there as they also have/had signs for used tyres and nearly new tyres.

When it comes to tyres, I would fall into the camp of always buying the best new tyres for your vehicle that your budget stretches to. Having good tyres over poor tyres can be the difference between staying on the road and coming off of it, not to mention the impact on drive quality, fuel economy etc etc..

zuroph

they wanted 75 a tyre. Found the same ones that I have on my car at present for €50 a tyre online, so just need someone to fit them
