Imagine what we could have if Cork City Council were anything but the most useless cunts going

Live in cork now and lived in Galway before. There would be more chance of a scrap in galway than cork. Especially round eye square some nights. Found galway pretty awful to live in. The traffic is outrageous and found it way easier to make friends in cork. Galway is grand for a weekend. Thata about it for me. Limerick is miles better that about 10 years ago. I find cork very safe anyway. And just way more options for music and the likes.

So it's definitely not the Islam boys then? I'm slightly disappointed

Tbf I find everywhere in the country to be safe because it's actually me that everyone else doesn't want to meet really

That's the general vibe I was banging on about but with extra kids

A lovely coda to the whole 'Spoons thing happened earlier in work.

I was in our canteen having my lunch. There was a lad from HR, Shane, sat at another bench. Normally I have tunes or a podcast on but I'm glad that I didn't today.

One of the newer lads, Darragh, comes into the canteen.

"Shane, I need a day off. March 27th, yeah. I need it off" says Darragh. Big mad stare up on him.

"Um, could it not..." starts Shane choking on his bowl of noodles "... could it not wait til I finish lunch?"

"I HAVE TO HAVE IT OFF!" erupts Darragh shifting from foot to foot.

"I'm not saying that you can't, Shane. I'd just like to enjoy my lunch in peace"

"It's me young lad's CONFIRMATION! I HAVE to it OFF!" Darragh says, fist balling.

"It's no problem. Just let me eat this and I'll put it on board. Relax".

"Right... RIGHT! Fair enough. It's just my ex has me under pressure after the whole St. Patrick's Day thing** and I just told the young fella that I'd take him for his lunch and stuff".

"No bother" says Shane "Are you taking him somewhere nice?"

"The Linen Weaver, it's a restaurant in town"

"Oh" says Shane who doesn't drink at all and lives in West Cork "sounds nice."

Now... I haven't had too many interactions with this Darragh lad but I can't resist.

"The Linen Weaver?" says I "The Wetherspoons in town?"

"Yeah. Yeah" says Darragh "It's my young lad's favourite. We spend hours there on my access days of a Saturday afternoon. Loves the mixed grill and the chicken thing. Gets his magazine to read. I'm taking him in there. You're from the Northside so you probably don't have proper pubs with windows and stuff."

"Lovely" says I... game on - "And sure if you can't get it off - you could take him to curry night instead."

"Eh... no. I only have him Saturdays and for his confer, never have him during the week usually." replies Darragh as he rounds on Shane.

"I def'ny have it off now yeah?"

"Yep" says Shane "Enjoy it"

"Not a bother - couple of scoops and a dinner will be lovely." and off he goes.


I spent the next few minutes laughing to myself. I hope that young lad doesn't bring his confirmation money the 'Spoons, his oul fella will drink it on him.

Although the 'Spoons is cheap so he might get home with 60% of it.




**Note to self - find out about St. Patrick's Day.
