Are you looking for a nice young lady to take out or suggestions on where to take her? Either way it's a long answer.

Lol. The dangers of posting after one's bedtime without adult supervision!

@TiltedBrain - the tunnel is closed for maintenance every night except Friday night. Don't know the times off the top of my head, but I think it's 10pm to 6am or something.

It is closed from 9.15pm until 7am with the exception of Fridays

Depends on what it is - are you looking at dinner, some sort of activity or a few drinks?

For a few drinks - the triskel bar is nice and fairly central so the option to head to the Woodford or another bar is always open - if it's a Friday night then Suas is always a good enough call for the roof garden and some nice chilled music.

For anyone affected by the evening tunnel closures they said on the radio that the tunnel is NOT closing tonight (but did not say why) ...

This is going back a few weeks but did anybody go to see the fireworks in Cobh at the end of the regatta that was on there?

Went to ringaskiddy by the water to see it - well worth it, great spectacle

Have you seen them before? I LOVE fireworks and seeing the fireworks in Cobh was a ritual in our house when I was a child. I can't help but feel that the shows have been getting longer over the years but with fewer highlights? Like quantity over quality? I'm not complaining but I just think sometimes that there are fewer WOW moments.

Has there been many? Never seen them before tbh sure I'm an asylum seeker from Kerry :pac:

I was saying to the lads it's something that should be done every few months where possible.

Even something in the city that would draw people in to have a few pints and see something cool like that would be great craic.

Very true. We don't get enough fireworks here. There's been fireworks at the closing of the regatta in Cobh for donkey's years.

I'll have to make a note of it and head again next year, t'was good craic.

I'd just like more stuff like the street entertainment stuff. I know Dublin is the capital and has a greater population but it feels sometimes that there's not much else to do in Cork other than head out drinking or to a gig

Reviving the chat thread

:D

Have an interview Friday next week in Dublin but the time is just before 3pm (14:40) which means when I'm finished I'm gonna have to get into Friday evening traffic, getting from M50 to newlands cross to naas road will be fun! I've a class starting at 6 in cork which I doubt I'll make. Bleh this is all very messy :rolleyes::mad:
(First world problem I know

Do what I do and get the train. Or drive to the red cow and get the luas in. That's what I usually end up doing

Been tried and closed by Health & Safety [and costs were high enough as it was]

Fair Enough, understandable with H&S.

I'm assuming it's down to large amounts of money being spent but is there another explanation as per why Ellie Goulding / Fatboy Slim etc. played Cork for Arthurs day when we're unable to attract large name music acts on a regular basis?

Chance putting the addresses into Google maps and see how long they say it'll take? They factor in traffic as well so you might get an idea if it's doable.

I thought I couldn't make the beers tonight, and now I wish I had. Bored!! There aren't even humans online to chat to tonight

No chance unless the interview is less than 20 mins.

Thanks guys, yeah RJ especially on a Friday evening, leaving dublin will be a nightmare. The interview is in UCD so getting back out to the M50 will be a hassle in itself. Can't really do the train nursemar cos UCD is not on the dart/luas and I don't want to be getting a bus in my interview outfit!

Ah well, I've told the ppl running the course in Cork that I'll be late. Nothing I can do otherwise :rolleyes::p

Might get vapo rub - never used it but it's my chest now that's at me slightly - it's playing sport in this weather that's doing it I'd say.
