There is a ferris wheel in Arthurs Quay park today, any info on a funfair there?

Just had a nose in at lunch time. It's got some kind of halloween name, but it looks like a small funfair. Couldn't see when it's open or prices .

There is this guy on youtube and he has done some great videos about Limerick and other parts of Ireland as well.I thought i'd share this video.It's quite nice that there is such a lovely and peaceful chill out spot within walking distance of the hustle and bustle of the centre of town.

So Irish water failed to install a meter outside my house this week, unfortunately an old car of mine was parked on the location of where it was supposed to be installed. Any idea as to what happens next?

As what happened to my neighbour they just kept knocking on the door asking them to move it. Not much they(IW) can do. Can't move it themselves.

Ended up cutting the hole right there anyway and wrecked the car with water/waste/mud etc. Owner was not best pleased. They also leaned their tools and those yellow plate things against his car. I'd have lost my mind.

I'd say that happens a lot around the country.

Well they've left the estate, all meters installed bar mine. They'll hardly be back and I got no notification through the letter box if they are.

Our estate has meters already before this government was given a mandate. They were installed from 2006 + onwards which was an agreement at EU level. The guy literally opened the cover, twisted out the meter and twisted on their own meter.

Neighbour needed his dug up. Apparently his was too low by 2 inches or something so the bluetooth van couldn't read the meter.

Water metres are supposed to be fitted on public property, if IW find a vehicle obstructing their access to the stopcock, they photograph it, move on and return on another time/date, if the obstruction is still in place they can report it to the gardai for them to ensure that the vehicle is parked legally, if not the gardai can have it removed.

Best of luck indeed. No disrespect to Steve Collins or his family but I can't see the place attracting many people because of what happened with his previous pubs.

You'd wish him the best but have to wonder as to the wisdom of such a decision.

What is spray antifreeze?
I've seen freeze spray, and antifreeze for car window washers, and good old antifreeze for your car's rad.

There are loads in trucks on the move right now no doubt. Somebody on Facebook tried to start bidding at €100 for one. She was murdered on facebook and still is being talked about. People petioning Admin to ban her from the page.

If people are patient and keep checking online places like Tescodirect and Argos.co.uk and Amazon they will get one eventually.

My missus can never get her head about quality not quantity. She says things like "but we only spent €X.XX on that child, so we can buy more for the other" without remembering that children don't, generally, know the price of things so it's not quantity or the value of things.
