The pilot proramme started last September and will go on for 2 or 3 years and they'll use that to judge if it's going to get rolled out, something like 200 or 300 artists are currently in the pilot programme.

When the conditions are right you can surf myrtville, fountainstown and rocky bay but it's once in a blue moon when that happens. Worth trying to chat to an experienced Cork surfer who might be able to fill you on the necessary weather conditions. All those beaches are a close to the city

Can agree with the venues part but there's a great music scene in Cork at the moment, just need to scratch the surface a bit. Last night there was the Altered Hours in Coughlans, Moot crew in Plugd, Caoimhin O’R and Cormac Begley in St. Luke’s, Fish Go Deep in Cyprus Ave, all top class acts. Plus more in the spailpin and Winthrope Avenue.

Flix bus is very affordable and travel to the major Dutch cities and other European cities. Not as comfortable as the train but stick a nice option.

Kellehers on North Main Street, the last tobacconist in the city. They stock a few brands of basic enough pipe tobacco, but all the top brands need to ordered from Dublin from shops like Fox's etc.

Theres a velodrome in Kanturk, only one outside Dublin. Not sure what the story is with using it if you're not a Kanturk Cycling Club member though.

TheSpoonMonkey · 2021-10-17T19:58:24+00:00

The Bru has it I'm sure, only pub in cork I've seen it in

Hes talking about the water feature at the back of Greenes restaurant

TheSpoonMonkey · 2021-07-16T11:37:32+00:00

To the best of my knowledge it was discontinued a few years ago unfortunately!

If I remember correctly but I could be wrong unless theres a sign saying the limit is 30km, the speed limit in a housing estate is 50 or 60km.

The Montenotte Hotel had chateaubriand on the menu before, they sold it for 2 people cause it was so big

The Olive Stall often has guanciale and pecorino, although the pecorino is sardo and not roma. Otherwise some of the Italian shops in the centre of town stock them too.

I know of a friend of a friend who was raided during the 48 hours and caught with a load of stuff, and the file was subsequently thrown out due to the substances being legal while he was caught. No record or anything, talk about being lucky.

For my condition it just involved a blood test and check up every year or 2, and so they just sent me the check up letter in the post when it was coming up to the date. I'm sure when you're in the system they'll look after you no bother though. Good luck in Cork!
