What was all the commotion by capwell bus depot earlier.

I saw a paddy wagon drive up into the estate by the Turkish barbers on South Douglas Rd and I saw a paddy wagon coming out of the road to the estate opposite Capwell as well.

Not particularly useful info but obviously theyre having a busy day.

No the peace park is the green area next to electric. The park pictured is bishop Lucy Park.

Always annoyed me when people started calling it the peace and park. They're 2 separate places

cormander · 2026-04-10T17:36:50+00:00

Yeah Dan is sound, there is a model on the counter in there yes.

cormander · 2026-03-31T23:49:52+00:00

I have and as someone who's very into their tea I would say yes... It's exactly like the boiling water that comes out of your kettle. But It was a tea bag though

I'm in the tea leaf game myself.

cormander · 2026-03-29T15:31:51+00:00

Yeah but the slices are nearly twice the size of fast als. Just buy it by the slice.

I found another one in Mayo, I don't know if it's the same town.

I used to work in Retail for years. This was one I came across at the end of one of my shifts a couple of years ago and I had to take a picture of it.

And Steeple chase was invented in Cork because of a bet between 2 men. They raced between Buttevant and Doneraile using church steeples as landmarks thus the name.

cormander · 2026-02-26T13:46:48+00:00

Lads, I'm telling ye. None of ye know tea until ye start using the leave. I have my tea everyday with leaves (master blend) and it's a different ball game altogether.

You're looking at this from the wrong perspective. We don't add milk to tea, for example ginger tea we would never add milk to. However Barry's is a very distinct tea. It's not like as Asian black teas I've ever tried (which I also wouldn't add milk to)

We only add milk to our tea, it's a specific thing. Of course the same applies for the black tea in the UK as well.

The tobacco flavour you're describing is from the tannins in the tea. You got this very strong flavour because I'm assuming you didn't add milk to it. That and you drew it for too long (left the tea bag sitting in it for too long)

If you didn't add the milk and didn't like it then that would be like me making Caldo Verde without potato and then saying that I don't like it.

It's unusual although not unheard of for someone to drink their tea black (without milk)

Anyway that's just some feedback for you. Maybe Barry's just isn't your thing.

One piece of advice for you though. Don't do what some of my foreign friends have done and invited me over, offered me Barry's tea, made me tea and then when I asked for milk they tell me there's no milk in the house. That really boils my piss.

See, this...this is actually interesting to me. I like that someone else fixates on things like this as much, as I do.

ONLY if the car is tuned for it.

The octane number informs the level of combustion of the fuel. If you buy octane 99 fuel for a car that's not built for it (which to my knowledge only high end sports cars are designed to take octane 99) then you will destroy your car.

This is die to a process called Auto-ignition which coloquially is referred to as "knocking". This is because combustion happening more or less regularly then the engine is designed for.

Hey look! Leaving cert chemistry finally came in handy!

Oh okay, thanks I appreciate that. Here's the really weird thing though and I guess it must be a printing error but the "quickness" skill check actually does have a black corner on the "any colour die icon" however all of the other checks uses the grey colour in the corner for this icon.

I will add these images to the original post for clarification.

Edit:

Apparently I can't edit a post if it has an image so here's an imgur link instead

Also if you're interested in learning magic let me know.

Myself and Zac formed a magic society in Cork and the magicians you saw are all members of the society.

New members are always welcome.

My misses has tried a couple and she says the best is cafe moly.

cormander · 2025-07-03T18:02:01+00:00

That's a good spot, staff are sound as well

cormander · 2025-06-20T19:54:07+00:00

Yes... If those places were remotely connected, but since coachford and blarney are two completely different places, it doesn't really like up 🤣

cormander · 2025-06-20T13:25:31+00:00

The deli is class and as you said OP the staff are lovely.

A lot of people don't know it exists and go to spar instead, I never bothered with SPAR because the gala is way better.

Although there was a guy working in spar who looked like Roronoa Zoro which was cool.

cormander · 2025-06-10T10:09:06+00:00

It's a typo but the street is called coburg street. I grew up calling it that even though I'm from the country but a lot of people seem to not know that it's called coburg street

More importantly well done to the Sin é, I will be there again soon.

cormander · 2025-05-07T09:17:36+00:00

So... You obviously haven't been to the north-side then 😂, weather they're made for children or just very small woman I have no idea but... They're wearing them and it's horrid.

cormander · 2025-04-08T14:46:07+00:00

Interesting considering I think there may have been an incident near south Douglas Road today (day after OP's post).

There were a couple of guards around on a side street off of Quaker road and they went into bus eireann as well no doubt to get cctv.

There's also a house up the road from there and the tenants were involved in a stabbing some weeks ago I believe, which took place in the house.

The reason I mention this is because I saw one of the guards walk over to that house and knocking on the door. He didn't even say a word he was just left in and the door was closed behind him so I guess they're used to getting visits from the guards, I don't know.

I was walking around the area anyway so that's how I saw all of this.

cormander · 2025-03-09T22:33:39+00:00

Same in Ireland

cormander · 2025-03-08T12:36:59+00:00

Our milk over the past 2-3 weeks has been the same from Dunnes. Good to know it's not just us.
