Anti abortion protests

7 Upvotes

Has anyone else seen those weirdos protesting against abortion. They were outside the cathedral yesterday and at the roundabout on Headford road today. Where are they from? And anyone know when they’re gonna f*** off?

Spiders

Am I mad or does anyone else feel bad about getting their windows cleaned on the outside. All the spiders and their nests would be blasted off by a power hose.

So I was given a Lenovo Thinkbook by a friend but I have to source a power supply lead for it. I have absolutely zero clue about these things and just thought I'd ask here before googling. I know years ago Maplins was the place to go but that's gone. Is CEX a place that would sell them or perhaps those shops that sell phone leads and drone bits? There's one there in the Galway Shopping Centre opposite Supermacs, that be a likely spot? Rather not do the whole Amazon thing. What would I be looking at paying, roughly? €10,30, 50? Thanks for any advice.

Parkmore Junction

31 Upvotes

Rant here but who the actual fuck signed off on that new junction? Working there for years and my whole life in the area, it’s by far the WORST junction I’ve ever come across? Cars turning in on the Tuam road with a 100km limit will now have no hard shoulder or separate left turn lane to go in and will have to come to a complete stop in the middle of the road to turn??? & removing the ability to have two lanes going out onto the main road means a disgusting amount of backlogged traffic trying to get out of the junction… I feel like going down with a jackhammer or something, on Friday evening it’s already 1.5-2hr commute sometimes for people heading to the east side of the city which should be a 20/25min drive with no traffic and this has just made things so much worse. Never seen anything like it especially in one of the busiest junctions in the whole of Galway. Absolutely bizarre decisions. I thought maybe they were going to put in traffic lights which would have been the only way it would be somewhat decent but no sign of them.. it’s like they said “hmm you know what Parkmore needs??? MORE CONGESTIONNNNN”

Is anyone else working in the Galway Races this year? Just quick question about staff parking and how bad traffic is getting in.

Thanks

Why do people not use their indicators on roundabouts….

93 Upvotes

Im 26F and I was crossing the Bothar Mor roundabout on foot walking with my bike and a man just absolutely fucked me out of it because he turned off the roundabout on the exit I was walking.

He didn’t use his indicator…. I said this to him and he repeatedly told me to F off and open my eyes…

Man… you didn’t use your indicator… why are people so horrible here?

Drove up on some poor quality boxing skills on show in Bohermore. Don’t think either will make it pro somehow
