Is there anywhere safe and preferably cheap/free to park a car near the Bons hospital? I have to go to the hospital and won't be allowed to drive home so will have to leave it in Tralee overnight. Would appreciate any help.

Your car will be grand overnight in the Strand Road club either.

The casual lechery and sexism about people out minding their own business cycling in the fine weather around Tralee the last few days is nauseating.

This could be the mothers, sisters and daughters of people on this thread you are talking about. Stop being such ****ing creeps.

Oh folks , have you lost your sense of humour altogether. Can't anyone take a joke anymore. Political correctness gone mad????? Come on, as if I would be hanging around the College on a sunny afternoon.???


Anyhow I would like to compliment the juvenile cycle club whom I passed in Caherslee this pm lead by an experienced cyclist in the cycle lane and taking up the rear a support vehicle with hazard warning lights. Well done to the organisers , participants and other road users. Yes there is plenty of room on the road for everyone .

The idea of driving your car slowly behind strangers so you can ogle them in their cycling gear is meant to tickle my sense of humour?

I'm afraid I don't get the joke.

Young women out minding their own business do not exist to titillate you in your car or to be the butt of your jokes on the internet anymore than they do for creeps on building sites leering at them and yelling "jokes" from the scaffolds.

Seriously, instead of lamenting about "political correctness gone mad" as though objectifying women was some important right being stolen from you I suggest a bit of introspection as to whether your attitude towards the notion is really something to be proud of as an adult.

I think you are taking everyones posts too seriously. If Michael Fassbender or Colin Farrell were in Tralee to attend a film premiere and girls came on here saying how hot they were in the flesh, would all the men be up in arms about the objectification of men?? Somehow, I don't think so. They would see it as harmless fun. The banter here was harmless but you've chosen to take it out of context and add a sinister element to it.

Of course you are entitled to your opinion too, be it self righteous or otherwise. I take you must be a teacher?

Thank you Ongarboy. I guess you understand my sense of humour and recognise no harm was intended by my remarks.


I agree that Keane has added a sinister aspect to , which indeed is rather concerning.

Anybody else see Tommy Tiernan in the Ballyroe Hotel last night?

He had some very good moments, and quite a few boring ones.

Don't think I'd go again, his material is fairly old

Well done to the Ballyroe for hosting this, we need more of these nights out in Tralee

we came across an accident this morning at the traffic lights on on the JJ Sheehy road. It appeared a person had either been knocked down or collapsed. I couldn't quite tell as there didn't appear to be a car close enough, but it is possible they were knocked down. There was a couple of people with the person (not sure if it was a man or a woman, I think female) and just as we had parked in Slatts carpark, the ambulance was coming. No Gardai were on the scene, so I think the ambulance was quite quick on the scene.
Hopefully it wasn't anything serious and they are ok.

Your great craic altogether ...... a right barrel of laughs!!! :eek:

Call a spade a spade every straight male in the world is gona throw a glance at a fit female cycling in front of them dressed in lycra!!!!

And likewise every straight female is gona throw an eye on a similarly fit male.

Its human nature.......birds and bees and all that.

It was a simple joke ...... if you don't get it fine but don't make it sound sinister..............

Save it for the locker room with the jocks and leave it off boards where it makes strangers who share a small town with you uncomfortable IMO. That's all.

Surely there is a thread on here,maybe After Hours,where Clab mor,Ogreboy and Del be able to post their sleazy comments

Your earlier post introduced a sinister aspect, perhaps you would like to keep your thoughts to yourself rather than posting them on this thread?


Time to move on and enjoy the weekend !

You're living in the stone ages with your locker room jocks and building site whistlers, that's not the real world my friend.

If those harmless comments made you feel uncomfortable, then every day life, tv, magazines, newspapers must have you in a right tizzy. The world is and always will be full of sexual innuendo. Try and see the funny side of things and don't be such a prude.

As a side note and respectfully it is not for you to decide what I can and can't say on boards.

"Time to move on" says the guy who decided to dig out a ten day old post to respond to in the middle of the night. Fairly bizarre behaviour really.

Try to keep your eyes in your head while you're out enjoying yourself.

What is this "porn" you speak of????

I think ye should just leave it. They're just a couple of wallies out getting their jollies. To say they're out perving over cyclists is a bit unfair. I'm sure one of them mentioned "fine fillies" a couple of weeks back so they're up around the bullring following the ponies and traps too.
As Clab Mor once famously said "chillax man".

Words of wisdom indeed!


What or where is the bullring? For the benefit of outsiders like myself could you explain please? The only bullrings I am aware of are in Spain
