Things you miss about Limerick when you go away......

I was in Dublin for a few weeks recently and I really missed the Jam donoughts from Quigleys in The Crescent. There so yummy! Best donoughts in Ireland without a shadow of a doubt.

I also really missed shopping at The Edge,which really has some of the funkiest,grooviest clothes in the whole of Ireland.

I missed not being able to tune into West Limerick for some decent toons and chat. Instead I had to listen to poncy Dubliners talking about poncy Dub things.

What things do you miss when you leave The Treaty city?

The ONLY thing I miss about it is the familiarity. And I'm not even sure I like that anymore!

Insect Overlord

The views of the Shannon, up towards King John's Castle from Thomond Bridge and out towards the estuary from the new bridge. They never cease to impress me.

Oh wait! I thought of what I miss..... my pigees! I do miss my little pigee clan when I'm gone. Look forward to getting back to them...

Best and most logical compromise is to fill your Friends Holes with Jam

If Limerick was Nuked* some fine day and then a Genie appeared and said I can grant you one wish - It is absolute and without limitations, it is so powerful it could restore Limerick from being a massive radioactive Crater to its former state, right down to the last broken window in the last derelict Building......

- I'd beg for another Mushroom Cloud just in fcuking case.

I have travelled alot spending various lengths of time abroad, and what I missed was various irish things, not so much Limerick... only for my friends and family. Then usually when Im back home to Limerick, it seems things never changed! Might have to head away again for a bit.... cant bloody wait!

munstergirl

Traveled for years, what did i miss about limerick, not 1 thing ....nothing .... Except the family, few friends.

I leave Limerick everyday I guess and the thing I don't do anymore is get takeaways from all my usual favourite spots because they tend to not make it home fast enough to keep warm.

Except tonight as I am babysitting I had myself a Chicken Hut with Gravy.

I don't understand people who refuse to leave if they don't like it here, it's not really that hard if you think you only get one go at life.

I've lived out of Limerick a good bit between college, travelling etc and things I've missed would be, in no order.

Swimming in castleconnell on a summer's evening when the sun's going down and the only boats on the river are the veterans from Castleconnell RC.

Pints in the Curragower, Wicked Chicken, Mickey Martins, Dolans, Tom Collins, pubs which are among the best I've ever been to.

Running along the canal or along by the river Strands to Westfields, especially on cold-ish days when you can feel yourself slowly warming up.

The market Saturday morning, preferably followed by browsing for books in O'Mahony's or the second hand place on Catherine st.

Watching Munster away matches in the Corner Flag, going to Munster matches in Thomond.

gigs in Dolans, great venue.

Not strictly Limerick, but running or cycling around Cratloe, the bit when you run to the top of the dirt track above the carpark and it's nearly vertical in places. Also, the view from there (don't usually stop though, next time I'll bring a camera)

Walking across Shannon bridge at sunset. Seeing the sun set at the end of my road for a few days every winter.

Gingergirl's Jams/toasties from Curragower/bang bang chicken from Hamptons.

I guess you can tell I'm a man of simple tastes, give me a decent pub, a good place for a swim or arun and friends to hang out with and anywhere's good imo.

I wasnt complaining about living in Limerick whatsoever.... I just dont miss anything in particular when I leave for a while.
I have a business here and Im proud to be from Limerick

Not saying you were, I just saying guys like Raiser have a lot of time to spend on here bitching about Limerick, time that might be better used actually changing their lives and getting out of here, if they want to. If Raiser (or anyone) gave the few hours they spend complaining on here everyday towards a goal of leaving, they'd surely manage it? Course, they could also use that time improving Limerick, or their own little area of it, but both options are the harder option.

Big world out there, send us back a postcard etc.

I'm only having a laugh - Bought my Calendar in the €2 Euro Shop and was convinced it was Friday night?????

Apologies - Will ring Work and tell them I'll be 30 minutes late......

Madras from the Mughal Emporer, tracksuits tucked into socks, seeing men beating their girlfriends at the Roxboro roundabout. So much stuff.
