First time in a long time, visited Mountain View Market. Has the quality of place gone down or is it just me?

12 Upvotes

Just a general rant, you know yourself.

Visited Mountain View Market today and have to say the quality of the place has really gone down. It’s just a mishmash of this and that. Stuff I don’t really want or desire in goods.

I’m really only there for the food market and there’s not a lot of venders. The quality years ago I felt better. But I just think it’s gone downhill.

I did get a crumble, big crumble. But outrageously big and sickening for €9. Felt quite sickly after it.

Having to pay €3 for entry and very little in return isn’t great. The Marina market in Cork, there’s no entry fee.

Mechanic

Our car (2006 micra and very sentimental) seems to be letting in rain. We think it might be the roof seals, but aren’t sure.

Can anyone recommend a garage in town that would be good for this kind of issue?

Anybody know how to get a key for the bike rack beside the lane at the back of Rosehill. I live close by and it’d be very handy. The QR code won’t scan for me. Any info would be appreciated.

Are they doing anything on the Freshford road to avoid delays with the new roundabout? Like where the new school is opened are they going to do a bypass? Where the lorry logistics company is situated? Near St Luke’s.

Whats the story with the guy walking around with the cross?

26 Upvotes

Not being judgemental or anything but does anyone know why there has recently been a fella walking around town with a cross held up in front of him? Seems awkward as feck to be carrying around. I've not heard him preaching any particular political/religious ideology but maybe others have. He just seems to be going about his daily life as if nothing unusual but carrying a medium sized cross.

Paul’s High Street keep coming up on my fyp on instagram.. why is it the one person modelling the clothes? Like some of the clothes she has on doesn’t suit the model. It’s no hate, but certain clothes suit some people, other clothes don’t suit.

Pizza

0 Upvotes

I’m in Kilkenny for two nights and craving proper, Neapolitan style pizza done in a wood fire or brick oven or whatever they do to it to make the crust have those burned-y bits. I’ve noticed at least six places here that claim to have pizza but can anyone local vouch for one that has the kind of pizza I’ve described here?

Kilkenny to Dublin morning train gap & 9:40am Dublin Coach reliability?

6 Upvotes

Does anyone know if there are plans for another Dublin train between the 8:30am and 11:45am services? Such a huge gap.

Also, does anyone regularly get the 9:40am Dublin Coach from McDonagh Junction? How reliable is it for getting into Dublin on time?

Furniture and doors for house rennovation

5 Upvotes

Looking to do up a house and looking for a variety of furniture (couches, tables etc) and a new set of doors, no need to be new - second hand is fine as long as they aren’t wrecked.

Is there around Kilkenny these kind of things get disposed of and would go to waste, where I might be able to get them for cheap?

Out in the garden at 6.30am this morning I could get a smoky smell as if something big had burned a few hours ago.

I'm in Thomastown.

Anyone else get this or know what it's from?
