    Is it me or are the times showing gibberish? Not likely to give people confidence in the system :rolleyes:

    I think that's Irish, nóm = nóiméad. Irish for 'minutes'.

    A friend of mine in CIT said they took down the bus stop there and replaced it with what looks like one that's exactly the same, so maybe they put something there to get that ready for real time?
    ya they generally leave a new shiny metal pole next to the new bus stop and they will come round doing the screens etc shortly.
    Just a tip for everyone dont depend on the screens or the bus eireann real time schedule for a while they are still having ocassional issues with "Ghost buses " never turning up in dublin , or arriving far quicker than the time on screen.

    Quick question on the buses.

    Do the buses that go from the city out to ballincollig etc. Stop at every stop??
    I need to get one tomorrow and my friend has me gone paranoid that they dont..

    They do stop at every stop but you need to check and make sure which route each one is taking as there are 3 routes and you can tell by looking at the schedule where it will go.

    If it has a stop listed at Carrigrohane it will take the road by the river.
    If it has a stop listed at Model Farm Road it goes up by CIT
    If it has a stop listed at Leemount Cross it is going out that way to the north before coming back to Carrigrohane at the round about.

    Sounds like a moving story! I hope you got all that Ikea stuff moved without breaking it - I always scratch or break something during moving and it really bugs me when it happens.

    Not too bad now at all. how did your new years abroad go? The house stuff all sorted now.. that's good! I hate moving too but its lovely when you make a place your own :)

    absolutely brilliant. I even saw some snow!
    I'm really hoping I won't ever move again - I don't know how people can move every year or whatever. it's a dose.


  • Registered Users Posts: 373 ✭✭wispyman


    However - moving house is a good opportunity to get rid of LOTS of crap. It can be very therapeutic in that way.

    Only moved last November and filled a skip with stuff.


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,744 ✭✭✭deRanged


    that's probably where we went wrong - we didn't get rid of much, if anything.

    hahaha ya that could be where you went wrong. I always have to do a big clearout when we move. This time around i had three black bags and 2 big boxes of stuff for the charity shop. However I don't wanna move again for a long time!

    Ya but sure we're all to blame. People have their own lives and get busy so don't bother with the forums. Sure I know I fecked off for the best part of a year and I'm sure other people do as well. That's just the way life goes :)

    Miss ya too x

    I remember there being a bunch of different shops in there, not that I could tell you what any of them were!


  • Posts: 23,339 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Yeah, I remember that too, sort of a Stephen's Green type thing (admittedly a much smaller one), when my Mum worked there 'twas Penneys.
