[Sticky] Cork Links/Venues/Things to do

dahamsta · 29-04-2003 11:11am #1

Cork Cinemas (Two of 'em anyway.)
Whazon
Peoples Republic of Cork (Small because I find it embarassing as a Corkonian.)

If you'd like to see a link or information here, post it below and I'll add it if I'm in a good mood. If I'm in a bad mood I reserve the right to banish you to PROC.

Why do you say the peoples republic of Cork website is an embarrassment to the city? Did you see the amount of PRC tshirts people were wearing at the Cork Vs Waterford game in Thurles - they equalled the amount of Cork GAA jerseys there! Were they all embarrassing you too?! In my opinion the site is great and i'm proud that we have it!

Just because people wear the t-shirts doesn't mean they think the website is cool. The posters on the proc forums are an embarassment to me as a Corkman. I've covered this many times in the forums, if you want to know why, do a search.

Seriously though, that's the problem I have with it. The way they talk on the forums is how wah's talk, which isn't something I take pride in. I accept that it's only a bit of fun, it just strikes me as silly. And I'm not the only one, I've noticed over time that the only people I know that do claim to like it, at least outwardly, aren't from Cork at all. Which kind of takes the wind out of the "we're only poking fun at ourselves" thing.

Anyway, I've edited the link to note that it's a personal thing.

Fair enough but you created a sticky for Cork links - not "dahamsta's Cork links". I think it should either be in there or not, not half way there! A Cork link is a Cork link whether a person likes/enjoys the site or not.

Precisely. Just because I own one of the t-shirts doesn't mean I wouldn't be absolutely horrified if I thought any computer I own was used to access that rubbish. It's funny, but not "ha ha" funny.

But anyway... back on topic.

Yout gotta love Pres Boys who never set foot over Patricks Bridge except to go to the Vic putting on the thickest "Genuine Cork Accent" while using slang terms that have not been used in 20-50 years.

PROC baye.

There's some decent people on that PROC board too you know. Only a handful of real idiots but you get them everywhere.

Don't you mean daycent

Pfft all tools really.

Does anyone know a website that has a list of Cork restaurants with reviews or shall we start up a thread with our own list of recommended restraunts. We could make it a sticky and also have pubs and the likes included in the list.

rymus · 20-06-2004 6:08pm

I'm actually compiling a list of pubs at the moment... looking for reviewers with an objectively critical & potentially sarcastic style

Was gonna update the original post but the edit limit has expired. Perhaps a mod would like to cut and paste? Posted in the order they were added to the thread. If it gets any bigger I'll start categorising.

Cork Cinemas (The Gate, North Gate Bridge & Cinema World, Douglas)
Whazon
The Half Moon Theatre (+ Club)
The Lobby (Pub)
Peoples Republic of Cork (Wackers)
Cork City Business Online
The Voice of Mallow (Mmmm, Marshy)
Cork 2005 (Official Ditto)
Kino Arthouse Cinema (Washington Street)
Munster Literature Centre
Cork School of Culture
CorkGigs.com
A Dictionary of Cork Slang (A Beecher Family Production)

BTW, I also run a WikiWikiWeb with a page about Cork, which will build into something bigger over the summer, so contributors are welcome. Of course there's also Wikipedia's Cork page, which has improved considerably in the past few months.

That pic of City Hall is dahamsta's! *proud*
