I randomly spoke to one guy there, he had a smile on his face while pushing a buggy. I assumed he was still laughing at the card lads. That wasn't you by any chance?

Don't think so, had a buggy alright.
They had a great setup though - pay me €2, pick a card, you get a bottle of orange. They must've made a fortune

One of the lads mothers went up for 3 go's. The divil pulled 2 aces, a bottle of whiskey and a bottle of wine taken out of the kitty. She left the water for one of the kids. Not that I would have troubled them, with my 2 waters and an orange. They were giving out bottles of shampoo earlier.

Reuben was hilarious, it was yer man off rte2. The music was nice too. My young one thought she was a conductor, waving her hands around. Good job they weren't paying attention to her.

Im really falling for the idea in starting beekeeping.

I notice alot of what i think are Rapeseed fields around naas.

I wonder how approachable these owners are to host 2 beehives

Bee keepers make money from "renting" bee hives to farmers. Bees will only travel a set distance and they will pollinate crops, so can be quite valuable to farmers.

Good news. Are they expanding their current site? I wonder where they could possibly go?

leinsterdude

good question, is there room at the back in the old beer garden, or building up.

Scudges Da

The old house at the rear of Lawlors was recently up for sale, so probably there.

leinsterdude

didnt know there was on old house there

Lex Luthor

more than likely put all the new bedrooms out the back and replace some of the existing ones with the sky bar

To be honest, some of the original bedrooms in the main building are that big, they could split them in half and still have 2 decent rooms. The ones at the front on the first floor on the corner have 2 super kings in them and still enough room to play a game of footie

beertons

Was that house out the back not listed? Huge site, went for big bucks I imagine.

Am thinking of changing from Vodafone to Meteor. What is the Meteor signal like in Naas and do you get 4g? What about the commute from Naas to Dublin as I use the 126 bus and am on my phone the whole time (surfing, not chatting!)

To be honest I didn't get much time to check it out in Naas, I was too busy preventing the place burning down while Wifey was in work. Not sure if it was related, but there was a nature walk along the canal in Sallins. Good turn out for it and killed a bit of time with the 2 year old tyrant and the 6 month old

Good news, I think there was a disagreement over rent or some such.

I wonder will someone take over GGs? I hope the new Japanese place is good, will surely open soon.

This was on on there facebook page in June 2015

Dear Customers
We apologise that the restaurant is temporarily closed
We have encountered significant problems with the landlord since we took on this project in terms of structural and electrical issues.
We have been trying to address these issues directly without success and this lockout has been as a result of her acting illegally.
We hope to update you next week but rest assured we intend to provide the Tony Romas Experience in your area.
Kind Regards
The Management

It will probably be in the mail centre on the Blessington Road

Look up Stop New Naas Dump on Facebook and see the details of how to object to a new dump being applied for which will add an extra 100 trucks on the Monread Road per day as well as having another disaster like the A1 dump that is costing up to 60m to clean up.
Closing date for objections is July 18th

Has anybody ever used Chem Dry to deep clean your couches? Or a similar company? And would you recommend? Looking for someone around Naas who does that kind of thing. Thanks.
