I've another random one.Bike chained to a pole at the corner or the dublin road and golf links road. Seems like a nice bike...basket and all on it...but i havent seen it move in about two years..yet it hasnt been robbed or stripped yet.

im sure there is a story behind it.

in fact. google earth from july 2018 has it on it...you can just see it at the front of the dumber truck here

I am not sure but perhaps there was a cyclist killed at that particular spot and this is a kind of memorial in her honour. I say "her"- it is a ladies bike, is it not?

Either the boys have been taking reading lessons or whoever owned the bike had forgot where they parked it until they read this thread because it's gone as of 7am.

I dont think ive ever not seen it there...hence the question...even on weekends etc

ShRT

It's used by a woman - Asian looking if Iremember rightly. I would pass it most days at various times and would see it there all the time. But mostly gone in the evenings. One morning I saw her drop it off and then go to the bus stop.

i sign up with them a few months back they promised me all sorts....and since then nothing, not a peep

Always been like that with nearly all agencies(nearly all), best thing to do is follow up with them. However, I know 2 of the people in Adecco who were great have left, one for a different agent and one left recruitment altogether. (Their Linkedin says as much).

Different agencies and even the difference agents can specialise in different markets so try to find one that is better suited to your background or the jobs you want.

Example is Careerwise is great with Lab/Medical type roles, Collin McNichollas with Technical/Commercial roles, BDO with Senior placements like C-Level and Propeller recruitment(you can guess but it's the Aviation Industry).

Keep on top of them.

I'm sure your return will be worth €10,000,000 to the local economy (and a dodgy statue in your honour) :cool:

Lads & Ladies, I recently bought a new suit for a wedding and need to get it dry-cleaned & pressed for another upcoming wedding. It was quite an expensive suit, so would like a decent job to be done. Are all dry cleaners in Limerick equally good, or are there ones to avoid/ones that you would recommend? Cheers!

Was out by Plassey Tech park earlier, man there is a lot of construction going on. There looks to be some work/road going off the roundabout in the park and there's also work just by the annacotty roundabout, are they going to try putting in a slip road there?

Yup planning was in for a slip road all right. I think the other work at the other roundabout is drainage. The construction traffic for the big building site really is a little too much. Constant stream of trucks going in there.

With schools etc back traffic will be a pain again

Spotless Dry Cleaners, Nicholas Street. I recently had a suit (mans) dry cleaned there. Excellent job, fourteen euro.

the slip road should help traffic going to annacotty/castletroy I bet traffic will still be backed up at that junction even with the slip road once it merges going over the bridge
