My school age child can't sleep. Noise is just terrible.
I wanna go over there and tell them to shut the f up. That constant beep beeping and the rumble of those sodding trucks.

There was one on Main St and I think I saw one somewhere else but can't remember where second one was. Those big temporary lit up signs that flash the message (I'm very technical can't you tell)

My kitchen windows are vibrating...
Ah well , it will be nice to have a nice new road .

frenchmartini · 11-09-2014 8:55am

Open for business...

Fuel price even halfway reasonable? Slightly hoping for a short-term price war as often happens with a [re]opening

Atomic Pineapple · 11-09-2014 11:38am

Wasn't open at 8:35 when I was passing, did it open after that?

Moonbeam · 11-09-2014 2:26pm

I went in to have a look.
I think petrol was 154.9.
It looks nice inside.

How can you price fix if you make it cheaper?

angeldelight · 11-09-2014 6:23pm

Tesco are doing the 5c off per litre vouchers when you spend €50 until Christmas

purplecow1977 · 11-09-2014 7:03pm

So is Maxol open? Can't be bothered popping down to look.

Diesel 144.9 - same as Esso. Very cosy.

Its not 24 hour anymore. Surprising - they made a lot of sales every time I passed at night. There is a hatch though so it could change.

Moonbeam · 12-09-2014 9:22am

There are signs up saying it is so maybe give it a few weeks.

I was going on the times written by the door - if they've contradictory signs up it could already be.

The deli assistant I got served by couldn't understand plurals this morning either; I'll be staying with Donovans for when I want more than one of an item in a roll :pac:

angeldelight · 12-09-2014 9:53am

It's a pity they got rid of the ATM - that was quite handy (when it worked)

The ad for staff also sought night staff so maybe they just haven't hired someone for the graveyard shift yet.

No ATM goddamnit!

Isentropic102 · 12-09-2014 10:36pm

Can you pay for hot food at the main tills? I got petrol and seen the hot food so said I'd try some. got some and she said she'd take me at the hot food counter. I said could I use my card and she goes..."for 2.90?". I gave her the 3 euro from my pocket that i needed for the toll and paid for the petrol seperately.

Looks a nice shop and plenty of parking.

Isentropic102 · 12-09-2014 10:38pm

What's the deal with the bicycle lane dropping to road level at the crossing?

turning right to maynooth you could easily overshoot and go into the cycle lane as it seems like that's the width of the road.

Modern standards are for cycle lanes to be on-road so that the street sweepers clean them (questionable; I've seen cases where they just end up full of debris) amongst other reasons.

The junction was hastily rebuilt to the new standards as the NTA are intending to redo the entire road from the motorway to the north of the town to them; and the lights failing completely beyond repair there forced their hand - there's no filter lane but another crossing point that's yet to open so its a completely different light setup.

Its important to note that, as far as I could see today, they are prohibitive rather than concessionary cycle lanes - its a solid white line and you can be fined for driving in them. Unlike the dashed line "cycle lanes" on Mill Street.

I did this morning, the till at the deli wasn't manned. They may require you to use that when its open though.

I won't be going back to the deli, Donovans is better quality and less miserly/less unable to interpret what you asked for. Sean hasn't got much to worry about losing his regulars!

I didn't notice if they have the only non-fuel thing I went to the old Maxol for - gas tanks. Anyone see them?

Is there really no ATM?? Awe crap!! I used to really only go there for the pre pay pump and ATM as I absolutely hate having to dealing with people in shops at stupid o clock in the morning when they are most likely as grumpy as me

It's not as bad as me realising just last weekend that there's an ATM in Donovans....used to always go to the Glenroyal and have to deal with that awful traffic.

Moonbeam · 13-09-2014 9:12am

It was handy that it was outdoors .

Standard rules of the road - you are not supposed to cross any solid white line in a vehicle. Whether it's a cycle lane or centre divider. It's a good thing that the cycle lane is on the road - from a cyclists perspective. I never use off road cycle lanes anywhere - apart from the debris,glass,etc they are always full of pedestrians but worst of all you lose all priority at junctions, driveways, crossings. Bikes are traffic and belong on the road.

I actually started using that one of late. I go in to get cash and pop into the butchers beside donovans but while I'm there I convince myself i should be rewarded with a tub of coleslaw from the deli

so I will really miss the ATM at Maxol

Moonbeam · 14-09-2014 10:26pm

I love the Deli there:)
Even my 1 year old runs straight to it for sausage rolls.

angeldelight · 15-09-2014 12:47pm

Traffic lights currently off with a stop go system in place and traffic backed up all the way from Maxol to the Glenroyal!
