    Heard from a mate of mine that there's one close by, was hoping someone could confirm it and is it easy to spot?

    You must be very sensitive if people skateboarding outside the court house can annoy you while your walking down the South Mall.

    Thankfully I've never found myself having to go up the courthouse steps but I have found myself walking down the South Mall and doing my best to avoid the morons on their skateboards. If you can't understand my comment, then you must be a skateboarder too.

    What's with all the hatin' on skateboarders?

    All I ever see is a bunch of young people having a good time on their skateboards.

    Probably one of the least intimidating bunch of young uns you could ever meet.

    Hey Harry, next time you pass a bunch of skate boarders ask 'em for a go off one of their boards and watch them welcome you to try ;).

    Maybe you're not very familiar with the term "conjunction"; particularly when it applies to the grammatical construction of a sentence? I suggest you Google it. Apparently you can pick up Wi-Fi near the Courthouse these days. Maybe you could bring your laptop along the next time you go skateboarding in Washington Street??

    I gave up skateboarding when I was 10 so I'd look a bit silly on a skateboard these days, although that doesn't seem to stop a lot of twenty and thirty-somethings from doing it ;).

    I'm in my 30's. I haven't been on a skateboard for many many years. I remember having a shit load of fun when I used to use them and never hurting anyone except myself.

    Could I use one now? Probably not - but I wish I could - looks like a lot of fun :).

    Peace brah.

    I agree Chuck. I'm not really in the mood to be incurring the wrath of skateboarders. As you say, they're not the worst of them. They wouldn't be the kind of people to mug me on the way home from a night out and they'd probably use a park if they were given the proper facilities by the Corpo.

    Peace.

    Very few people in Cork have ever done that. It is definitely NOT attempted every day, I know that for a fact.
