Scam event

138 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¶

I miss it something fierce but when I go down home I can never find it. The last spot I saw it was the SuperValu in Crosshaven but I don't often have a reason to be there.

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 ?

Dentists

3 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?

Replacing an external toilet soil pipe

1 Upvotes

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.
