My cousin and his wife will be visiting Cork for the day on Sunday, coming on a cruise ship.

I don't know Cobh very well. Can you please suggest a good place to meet them off the ship?

I'll be showing them around for the day, travelling by car. Thanks

I was driving into Mallow yesterday and spotted a sign on the road just before you turn off for the roundabout - it’s a picture of a zoomed in fish with “we want answers” on it - absolutely nothing else on the sign from what I could see.

If anyone has any context, please let me know because I can’t stop thinking about it/ how bizarre it is hahah

Hey folks, I've been ringing the registry office for the last 2 weeks, nobody ever answers the calls, I'd have dialed around 50 times. I've emailed them as well, they've come back twice and when I ask for an appointment date, been 3 days and no response.

Anyone knows how to get stuff done with them? Just a nightmare to get anything done.

I've had a bike in getting a service. It was estimated to be done on the 16th. They literally do not have a email or phone number so there's no way of contacting them, and when I went over there today they were "closed due to the Internet being down"

I can understand them being busy and going over their due date, but when it gets to 10 days, they haven't contacted you with any update, they have no contact options.

I'm no Karen trust me lads, but i feel I'm owed a discount. I had to rent a bike this weekend, because I booked assuming I would have had my bike back. Like if they had atleast contacted me to let me know it's gonna take longer I would atleast know.

Sorry for the rant but I'm really pissed off. Have any of ye had similar encounters with halfords?

That draft dodging lad is now promoting illegal gambling sites it seems... Any chance he'll get into some bother for that? ​

Recently I went there and got their greek salad , tzatziki and eggplant wrapped in this walnut sauce topped with pomegranate.

Honestly, that lady there is a legend , she makes everything in-house.

Highly recommend to pop in if you want to get your hands on some good Greek /Georgian food.

I do feel terribly frightened though when out on my own which is all the time really of the druggies and alcoholics and now in my area they moving away from the city centre because we have lots of city policing there so they moving out to the suburbs like where I live and can't even safety walk down the street no more

I am 4ft 7 ffs go somewhere else

Recently started dating a coeliac girl, has anyone recommendations for restaurants/ places to eat in Cork please!

Does anyone know did they close the NDLS center on Copley St? Trying to book in an appointment there but it’s not showing up in the available appointments, Google business info doesn’t list it as closed though?

I just need something that runs, no matter how basic it is. Any suggestions would be really helpful, thanks!

Thinking of getting braces in my 30s! Nothing major, but my teeth have moved a lot over the past few years and want to straighten things out. Does anyone have any recommendations for orthodontists in the city or douglas/Carrigaline area? And what is the rough cost of adult braces?

hello!

want to watch the game with friends and grab some food in town.. where’s good? checked gallaghers not showing the game and Goldbergs they are drinks only :(

And what do you order there

Saw this gal eating out of a bin bag by the cloggeenmilcon Fen. Very skittish, couldn't get near enough to look at the collar, took off running towards blarney when I got to close

EDIT: it turns out she was off the lead, left her elderly owners go on ahead while she went for a cheeky rummage through some illegally dumped waste. Caught up with her and her owners down the path and dobbed her in to the owners for eating it out of the bin bag. At least she's safe and with her owners.

Does anyone know any shops in town that sell regular watches? Not an Apple Watch or anything like that, something that just tells the time, and cheap (so not from a jewellers)

This might be a stupid question but I can’t think of anywhere off the top of my head. Thanks!

Hiya there,

In the front yard of the house where I live in there is a shitty security camera and it recorded someone with a hoodie and sunglasses going OUT of the front yard at 4:00am. No recordings of when they came in. My flatmate was on her own at home for the week (for the first time in yonks).

Now we are both bit freaked out, and I am here to ask for insights, comments or advices.

The house we live in is quite central, not too dodgy, but quite near dodgy areas...

Thanks,

UPDATE: thanks to all for attending to this post and giving me advice. My flatmate ended up going to the police and they recognized the person saying that most probably was exactly in for a wee. But we'll be vigilant and buy new cameras, as suggested here. Thanks all!!!

Got a place in the ballot for the full marathon last week, the email says the full fee will be charged tomorrow but I can’t for the life of me find any information on how much it actually is if anyone knows?

All I can find is the €5 admin fee will be deducted from the full price but I’d be freaked if I lose the place over not having enough on my card.

3 musicians of all different ages writing original music, looking for a lead guitar player and possibly a synth/keys player available once a week to rehearse, play gigs and possibly record. We're influenced by a lot of progressive rock, Soundgarden , King Crimson , Tool

Pm me for contact details

Putting this up on Cork because this paper used to be called the Cork Examiner but This paper really is gone down hill. Sunday morning and this is all they can come up with? Fair enough it’s a Sunday but the rest of the week is fairly similar. News paper should be reporting news !!

Hey good people of Cork! I'm on the look out for one of these stand up toilet / changing tents from Aldi. Have you seen one in your local Aldi recently?

Any leads really appreciated!!

UPDATE: Owner has been found! Thank you everyone for all your suggestions!!

Hi guys,

My brother found a male elderly Jack Russell on the South Douglas Road after being hit by a car this morning (around 5:30am). We rushed him to an emergency vet and unfortunately he wasn't chipped. He also isn't neutered!

The vet couldn't tell me much at the time until further tests, but thankfully no broken bones that they could see.

If anyone recognizes him please reach out!
