    A bit mad about that girl that's 'missing'. She's now writing blaming the mother.

    She'd badly want to grow up

    she is so ungrateful! Whatever her issues with her mother, she should have at least shown some sort of gratitude for everyone's concern! She needs a kick up the backside!
    I'm sure we all had issues with our parents in our teens too, and I'm sure a few wanted to run away (I know I wanted to many times!), but you would at least say thanks for the concern, not go on FB being a cheeky brat about it!

    I know I asked yesterday, but with all the carry on it prob got missed....but does anyone know what's going on with Costa Coffee? are they still due to open in Micko's? There doesn't seem to be much going on in there! I would have thought they would have wanted to be open for the Festival, doubtful at this stage.

    Speaking of the festival, I see the street lights have started to go up :)

    The Costa Coffee story appears to have reached an end........?.:confused:
    My understanding , it was due to open in July.....looks like they have now missed the boat in terms of the tourist season and Festival. There is nothing happening on the outside of the building. :confused:

    Speaking of the Festival, I understand it is going to be a week long event this year. Just like the good old days!:)

    Forgot to mention I passed by the People's Park yesterday.
    The only peoples parks I know of are in Limerick or DunLeary. The big field in the centre of Tralee is called the Green!

    It's Pairc na Parisaigh and the Town Park is colloquially known locally as 'the Green'.

    I know it's Pairc na Piarsaigh. In our group as teens we called it the small park.

    It'll always be the small park to me :p

    I thought "the green" was always the the Green school when said, that is. Well that is what we called it when I went their. The town park was "the park", and the Pearce park was called the small park.

    I would also refer to the big park as 'the green'. I would assume the school got it's nickname from the park being called 'the green'.

    I do call the school 'the Green' myself too though.

    The word 'green' has lost all meaning to me now after typing it so many times :p

    Both the town park & the CBS secondary are called the Green. And it's not just colloquially either. There are roadsigns outside the TTC office pointing to the green with its name in Irish.....if anyone has ever spotted it :)

    I was talking to George who runs The Blasket last week and he told me that the pubs in town have exemptions for 10 nights for the festival if they want them at 400 Euro for an exemption per night.

    Anyway on to more important matters, its my birthday tomorrow!

    I will be getting very drunk in our lovely little town tomorrow night.

    Island of Geese: street just off Matt Talbot Road that leads you down to Shaws/Garda Station. Dennys Factory is on the left side of it.

    No lads, ye are completely wrong. The Isle of Geese is the bit of land that is bordered by High St, the little road that runs up towards the back of Shaws, and the little road that connects the roundabout to the old Denny entrance. It hosts the Garda Station, and at the other end, the Kerry School of Music.
    Lived in Tralee long?

    Indeed we are. I was trying to spice things up a little in here with my delivery, didn't appear to work though. I mean if this place can go to war over a sandwich, why not an Island of Geese?

    The Green probably got its name from the fact that it was the castle green, presumably where my royal ancestors used for hang out of an evening with a stiff drink and some opium [ my how things have changed, naggins and hash are mostly consumed there these days ! ]

    The small park was part of the green but was severed off a few decades back by Bothar na Parisaigh to form Pairc na Parisaigh.

    Correct about Island of Geese, there is [or was] a street sign on the house next to Manna/Lambes.

    Edit Yup the sign is still there although google seem to have sliced the center out
