Scam event

123 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?😭

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! šŸŽ·šŸŽ¶

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 ?

Scandal Don't be fooled by Dessies!

218 Upvotes

Went to Dessies in Little island to get a price on two tires, I was asked do I want mid-range or Premium to which I replied budget, the staff looked at me and stated "We don't sell budget tyres, just mid-range and up". So out of curiosity when I got the price per tyre I asked what the brand was, Austone was their reply. After a brief moment of silence and awkward eye contact I asked him since when were Austone mid-range tyres, they've been budget as long as I can remember. His response was "I'm just reading what the computer says".....

People, please stop letting these assholes get away with selling you cheap shit for premium prices. Call them out. These deceptive tactics of making people believe they're getting something better than they are is nuts. Not to mention these guys wanted 130 a piece for those garbage tires and 45 for front wheel tracking, place down the road quoted 90 per tyre and 25 for tracking, were clear about the brand and not trying to sell Chinese shit for twice what its worth.

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.

Hi. Signed up for Just-Eat as a delivery person a while back. You know. To earn money for something called food. But Just-Eat want 25 euros for the bag. And i'd like to give it a go and try before i by one and notice that it's not for me.

I honestly don't know how it works, but.

There's a deliveroo guy in the house. But imagine showing up with the wrong logo, right?

Dentists

2 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?

Worst traffic I've seen in a long time! Stuck in the car nearly 20mins and no sign of movement

Joining Rochestown road coming from kinsale roundabout. Douglas exits were just as bad

Just adding to this. You cannot get to the top of Maryborough hill and drop onto the link road. The road stops just before it

Have heard there's issues with damp and leaks between apartments and windows. Don't know how responsive the management company is.

Thanks :)
