These posters weren't aggressive, or passive aggressive in any manner to other people on here. And are "regulars" here on this forum, and don't beat on about it in every post. You have only stuck your head in here in the past few weeks, and every post of yours has been negative, and/or seemed like you were posting to get a rise out of people.

I reported you, not for your views on the town, but the way you choose to express them and your attitude to other posters on here. And apparently I'm not the only one to notice your attitude given that a moderator has asked you to quit with your stirring.

I dont think that is a very fair comment. Show me one post were I have been aggressive towards anybody on here that deserves been reported.

Delighted the weather broke today, the humidity was cat and at least it'll keep the dust down.

Just thought I'd change the subject :pac:

the hayfever it brings with it is a pain in the a*s! lol My lawn needed some rain, had put down some aftercut seeder & there was no rain for a full week after it!
Hope the rain isn't here for long though, was getting used to the lovely weather!

I nominate Sully! He's a prince among men & would be a boon to our tourist trade.

The weather was great for the last week.
Copious amounts of wine consumed on my patio over the last few days.
Bit of a shock to the system when the rain arrived today .
I am heading to Portugal tomorrow!:D

Another two days of sun and the farmers will go from fodder crisis to drought in the space of two weeks

Hopefully del will hit the big one in casino Estoril and he can trade the reliant robin in for a Ferrari

I know given this is my first post here it doesn't give me a very strong voice but if the truth be told I have been an onlooker of the Tralee Thread for quite some time without getting involved.
I must say that since Sully got involved this place is a much more interesting place. I find his posts (assuming Sully is male) very very amusing and have genuinely roared with laughter at most of his comments. He is the Pat Spillane of the Tralee Thread and every thread needs one.
Whilst I do stop by and read this thread a good bit the discussion can be very bland on this thread. "I hear a new shop here... there ... everywhere" or "I hear a shop is closing down... here.. there. everywhere.
Tralee is certainly not a city of angels which Sully rightly points out in quite a humourous way. If you can't laugh at yourself..... Well a shop might open or close I suppose!
By the way this is not Sully although I'd imagine its the kind of thing he would do:D

Ha ha thanks alot Pal. You aint going to make a lot of friends on here with that post

Probably not but if you can't have a bit of craic on a discussion forum sure whats the point in being involved at all.
People need to lighten up a bit sometimes I think.
Also sometimes regional thread seem to get very clickish. It's fine for someone with many posts to say something negative about the town but when someone new says it it is not acceptable.
This is not exact opening new members with open arms in the community spirit that Boards.ie is meant to be all about.
Hence why it took until now for me to come out of my shell.
All down to Sully:D

No recession around here then

Looks as if the mystery around the sudden closure of Lee Records has been revealed. They were hit with a tax bill of €52k in Q1 that was published in the tax defaulters list today. They were not paying their VAT - €27k owed plus €25k in added penalties and interest.

PS I see the hoarding around the new unit on Abbey Street is down - 1320m2. A big space. They have some advertising hoardings in the window so the Dealz tenancy has indeed clearly gone south.

Thats crazy,probably scared away once again by the massive council rates. Well thats going to be another fine eye sore for 'Town Conjunctivitis'

I wonder does the town clerk still have 2 secretaries? He did a couple of years ago! I remember we tried to contact his office, only to find both of his secretaries were on lunch, at the same time! lol

Last I heard, the Dealz thing was still going ahead, they were taking 3 quarters of it and they are looking for a couple of small tenants for the rest.

So that big massive building is only going to house a "euro" shop and a few small shops, bit of a waste no??.

I may be alot of things (regularly pointed out to me on here) but being self obsessed aint one of them

I remember when the Snooker Hall first opened in Pembroke St and doing most of my growing up in there. It had 18 tables and some nights you couldnt get a game in there. At 15 years of age I got the chance to play Ken Doherty and Jimmy White and some other local great snooker players. It was the place to be and kept me out of trouble (most of the time)

A mate of mine went down for a game of snooker last week and the place is a wreck. Only a hand full of tables left,holes in the walls from people punching snooker cues through them. One table had a big bag of rubbish tipped all over it while another one was occupied by a bunch of 15/16 year olds who were constantly passing around joints of weed.

Anybody for a game???

Ahhhh I remember the days of smoking (a fag, not a joint) upstairs, playing a few frames, thems were the days. Practically lived in that place the weekends when I was a teenager.

Everytime I drive by now all I see is tracksuit pants tucked into white socks.

Well you would always get the same four in the John Charles Hoare Cup Semi Final every year. Was a great place and 'Larry's' wasnt a bad place either if you could get a table

The hoarding is advertising the whole unit of 1320m2 and also says that it is suitable for sub-division. A good size for an M&S foodhall??

Larrys was on Strand St. Up the road from Betty's Bar in the Old School. Didnt last very long but had a few full length tables and a couple of video games and a very weird smell

The weird smell I discovered a few years later was weed
