Is there anywhere in the city, like a surf cafe but that does gaming too? In Limerick, there's a place that has 360s set up for online gaming. The reason I ask because if there was such a place, I'd be looking to bring my 360 there to get some DLC. Can't get my 360 online where I'm at, and there is some DLC I kinda want to get, and not wait 3 - 6 months.

What does all this mean, I was lost after surf café :eek:.. I need some comfort food

I'm guessing that just means you know of no such place. An internet cafe that has a section with TVs and game consoles, and you pay a certain amount on a per hour basis.

Such a place would likely allow me to bring in my own console and be able to download stuff. I'll be checking out the place that was already recommended, but would be cool to know of a back up place to try out if there's no luck in the first place I go.

Hello, ah that makes an awfull lot more sense, 360 all I have in my head is Honda haha.. Mmm sounds like it would be something funky alrite if you did find a spot but sadly wouldn't have a notion myself. If I hear of anything I shall be sure to let you know..

anyone here have any experience with babysitting full time during the week. I am looking for either a 2nd job or a full time job, and I am seeing a lot of people looking for childminders but I cant help feeling a little causious of it because people tend to over-react sometimes, like if the kid gets a cut or something..

It really depends on the family. I would suggest a long "playdate" with the family to see if you get along with the kids and the adults. It will also give you a better idea of how strict the parents are and how crazy the kids are, so you can see if you can deal with that family.

Milly33

Would never have though of the play date, which sounds so obvious.. Would you need any insurance cover or anything like that.. haha not that I plan on going sky diving or anything like that with the kids but just incase..Love crazy kids well not crazy but a biit of fun..

got a very tasty burrito from one of the stalls on the Saturday, and enjoyed my first outdoor ale of 2013 in the sunshine outside electric. Great buzz around the place!

Oh, I would not know about insurance. I just baby sat for a family all summer in between years of school.

Was very hungover on Sunday after Saturday night but went into town - had my first pint of Murphys in The Castle of all places - was very nice

astronut

Some day lads. Absolutely manky out :mad:

Blitzkrieger

Springtime in Ireland - got to love it. Almost don't mind being stuck in work on a day like today.

astronut

I don't like being stuck next to the window in work so I can look at it all day and be depressed.

But that might be it with the snow for this year at least. About time really.

Blitzkrieger

I hate working weekends

Was going to head out tonight but I'm already thinking I'll be too tired. Being out last night probably didn't help

D'Agger

Can't wait to head out, match today and after a long week!

Prob best looking to live in the Douglas area if you're working in Ringaskiddy - short enough commute and Douglas is good for food, pubs, gyms, things to do.

I'd warn you of traffic but coming from Dublin you're well used to it. Cork also has a ridiculously high number of traffic lights you'll find.

Barring that, Welcome

What's the story with these floods! Does Douglas/Blackrock get a bad doing?

Poor old Blackpool seems is right bother.

D'Agger

Douglas village was badly flooded a while back but is normally fine afaik only living in blackrock two years myself so poor sample size I'm afraid!

Let me guess, horribly sweet?

Milly33

No not even. It taste like mouldy stuff.. Do you know that smell you get in an old house or when your in a place that has mice.. That's what it taste like

Grim_Wreeper

Ew...

D'Agger

Tried that new Lucozade tropical drink the other night and it was nice enough

That said I was gasping after training so I probably would've found toilet water satisfying! :pac:

Blitzkrieger

I know the feeling - I forgot to bring my water bottle to training on Friday. Arrived home with difficult to explain muddy knees and... well I wouldn't have licked piss off a nettle, but I was close.

Generally not a fan of tropical drinks unless they're made with multiple shots of alcohol....

astronut

In between building a pillow fort and deciding what else to do today, I'm trying to figure who on here is who from the meetup group...

Blitzkrieger

That whole username/real name thing can be tricky. I'm not from the meet up group, but hope to get to one soon.

astronut

I never even knew there was a Cork meetup type thing here on Boards. I had an account but never really used it before and ended up joining again recently after it was moved over to Meetup.com.

But anyway, I'm slowly trying to piece together who people are. So far I know 3

I haven't gone to a meetup thread in order to preserve my air of mystery :pac:

astronut

Sure I may as well just give up now so... :-(
