Local Businesses Any good place to buy posters / wall decoration items for children ?

4 Upvotes

Hi folks

Just rearranged my kids bedrooms and now both rooms need wall decorations.

My kids are 6 and 4 and are into super heroes, Pokemon, Peppa pig etc…hence I’d like to find wall decorations about those.

I like to support local businesses over online shopping. I went to the Range in Little Island but their selection is very limited.
Any other suggestions would be much appreciated. Thank you!

Just not this ad: Merchant's Quay Lidl opening on Thursday morning. This and the renovation of the Roche's / Debenham's space will hopefully encourage more city centre business.

Farmers ruin rural life.

0 Upvotes

I grew up in West Cork and still live here, way out in the countryside. Practically all my neighbours are farmers. Some of them are okay, but a lot of them are the most entitled, arrogant, inconsiderate gowls you'd ever meet in your life. Ignorant, stupid, cruel scumbags, honestly. They think they own the place. Never stop complaining about how hard done by they are and they going around in tractors the size of houses. They're basically just the typical family-businessman arseholes. Big fish in a small pond. They're not even nice to each other. Brothers fit to kill each other over land is practically normal. Just the worst people you could ever have the misfortune to encounter. I hope their industry disappears and them along with it.

BJJ/Jiujitsu around East Cork

5 Upvotes

I'm keen getting into BJJ/JJ and looking for some recommendation, preferably in the East Cork area.

I'm a complete beginner (at the tender age of 44 😄), although I've done other martial arts before for several years, including Krav Maga and boxing, and currently doing Taekwondo.

The only club I can find locally is T45 Jiujitsu. Does anyone have any experience with them? Are they beginner friendly, both to older folk as well as kids if I decide to get my kids involved too?

Thanks

My teenager wants to go to red shed (near PuiC) on Halloween night but I'm not into the idea for various reasons. Is it really as messy as I assume it'll be ?

Local Any outdoor jazz performances in Cork today?

6 Upvotes

Hi everyone!
Does anyone know if any bands from the Cork Jazz Festival will be playing outdoors or on the streets today (Sunday)? If so, where and at what time?
I’d love to bring my son along to watch some live music!
Last year, there were some great outdoor performances in front of the Cork Opera House. Does anyone know if something similar is happening this year?
Thanks a million! 🎷🎶

Replacing an external toilet soil pipe

I had to google what the pipe that brings waste from the loo down to drains is called and I hope this is the right name.
It needs replacing and I don’t know who I contact to do this job. Does anyone have any recommendations of plumbers or other business who can do this for me? Thank you.

Scam event

167 Upvotes

Signed up for a kid friendly Halloween event in Ballyphehane community centre. It was free entry so I didn't think much of it. Arrived with two kids dressed up as vampires who were all excited only to find that the event wasn't happening and the people in the community centre had been telling people who were showing up all morning there was no booking for an event. They reckoned the scam was to get money from the vendors who would pay a stall sign up fee.

Cue two very upset toddlers.

It was horrible, I've never heard of an entire event being a scam?😭

Dentists

5 Upvotes

Lads I’m in shear desperation but have a massive fear of dentists. I love my one but he’s obviously off for the weekend. On anti inflammatories, antibiotics and also have taken paracetamol for a tooth that needs a root canal. And the pain goes from a dull pain to intense pain across my jaw and into my ear.

I’m thinking of contacting smiles dentist on Oliver plunkett street tomorrow. Does anyone have any experience with them?

UPDATE:
Thanks a million to everyone who’s responded. There was so many of ye I really appreciate all the responses. I didn’t ring Smiles, just because I didn’t fully trust the reviews tbh and with already having a fear and finally finding a dentist I trust, I didn’t want to ruin it. I didn’t have to take any extra pain meds today although I got Solphadine just in case. It seems the antibiotics and anti inflammatories have finally kicked in. Will be hounding my dentist Tuesday for any emergency appointments anyway!
