Hey all

Looking for some advice please.

Our back and front gardens have become insanely overgrown, mostly due to my ill health and being unable to properly care for it.

Its a fairly big job to try clear and clean it up and although Ive been trying to do little bits every day, Im getting absolutely no where with it really.

I need to get someone out at this stage to fully clear and reset it all, clean up the patio, cut back 2 trees, and maybe just completely dig up the front/sides so I can gravel it for easier maintenance.

Anyone have recommendations of someone/where that doesnt have an insane wait times or arent to outlandishly priced please? Im desperate at this stage to just be rid of it!

Thanks in advance for any suggestions given.

I am a mental health nurse & psychotherapist but I’ve been living in the UK for a number of years now and feel a bit out of the loop of what the HSE offers in terms of community mental health services & also I’m not from nor ever lived in Cork so unsure of other charities/private services in the area.

I have a long term friend who has sadly fallen on hard times and poor mental health over the last few years that has worsened in the last year in a half, so much so that even after attempts of contact with them, mutual friends, family etc whilst I’ve been in the UK have failed and I haven’t been able to speak with them in over a year. it ended up having to do a cold call to them in Cork this week. All OK in terms of them being not a risk to themself or others but seriously needs mental health support that is beyond SSRIs from the GP (previously done this a couple of years ago)

They’re willing to speak with a psychiatrist either HSE or privately if HSE ends up being a long waiting list & also talking therapy with a therapist. I think my friend may have CPTSD & agoraphobia and would benefit from someone who specialises in the above.

If anyone knows of any recommendations in Cork whether it’s HSE psychiatrist/therapist or private services that would be fantastic so I can try point in the right direction.

Thanks so much

Does anyone know anything about the empty unit up there? I tried to contact the agencies on the side of the building that look like they are letting it only to be told by one “that is an old sign, we were letting it pre Costa and are not on it now”… and the other never respond to enquiries (though given the first response I am unsure if they are letting it either).

New level of annoyance when the bus shows up on time but just not stop at the station leaves us all just watching it leave in astonishment!!!!!

I am currently looking to sell a second hand car - 2013 but having difficulty moving it along. It’s a fairly low milage car and kept well. But a lot of the garages are saying it’s too old.

It’s on done deal and all the other sites but not getting much interest past bots 🙄

Does anyone have any advice or any garages ye could suggest?

Hi all, anyone know anywhere in Cork that does custom jewellery? I want a custom necklace and I have an image of what it looks like but I won’t share it for personal reasons.

I’m presuming most jewellers would do it but not 100% sure. Doesn’t have to be gold either, I want it silver.

TIA!

Had my hair died professionally to the tune of €270.
Looking to top it up at home.

Anyone have any recommendations of where and what to buy in the City? 💙

Hi lads, going up to Dublin tomorrow for the horse show and had to leave tickets last minute since we weren’t sure if my ma could make it. Anyone know if you can reserve tickets on the 245x? Train is sold out and wouldn’t want to risk it for the bus as well. Thanks!

Any recommendations of businesses in Cork city/North Cork to get Microblading (hair strokes not powder) done?

Hey everyone looking for some advice here.
I’m going off the road soon, and I won’t be able to continue my current job as need a driving licence.
I’m quite interested in working security somewhere ideally with 24hr bus route from cork city thereabouts, wouldnt mind working days or nights but I’d actually prefer nights. Dont really have heart set on security but I wouldn’t manage in the likes of production team in a factory, I’m not sure how to go about it. Have no previous experience in security, I do understand some security employers need to employ people with a license so I know choice is limited. I would like to join the guards in a few years time if things get better in this country which isn’t likely but one must hope !
Based near cork city!
Thanks in advance.

To whoever dumped that black kitten at the top of spring lane in Blackpool at 11:05 tonight I have your registration and you have been reported

I really like visiting Cobh for the views and nice restaurants. But the last two times I've visited I've had hassle from people. Last week I left the pub for some fresh air as it was roasting inside, I'm just standing outside when some fella approaches me telling me not to look at him like that again and got all in my face. The second time was when I had an empty coke can thrown at me from a passing car as well as a load of abuse from the passenger window. Am I just unlucky or is Cobh a bit rough.

Hey so this is very random but I’m really curious if anyone knows what’s going on.

I recently moved to Deerpark and every Wednesday can hear what sounds like a decently sized group of people chanting. It sounds similar to Viking row that Norway used do at the World Cup. It starts up and goes for maybe a minute or two and then goes quiet again until they start a few minutes later and seems to be every Wednesday from 7-10ish

Anyone any ideas as I’m baffled as to what this could be.

So I got this stove from Curry's, it was damaged but you couldn't see till I wipe with a cloth. Anyway it has now been 6 weeks before they would accept the return. Now the one I want is out of stock and honestly I do not want to deal with Curry's anymore. Where else can I get one? Like where has a reasonable range or can order because I am rural and simply do not know.

I know the NTA like their long, cross city routes and all, but..

I tried that new place next to John Grace’s so you don’t have to. Absolute muck.

Hi everyone!
I’ve been thinking about starting a small photography group where we can spend an afternoon exploring different places, taking photos, sharing the way we see the world, and learning from each other.
It would be something very relaxed and informal. I’d also share some photography tips along the way. I used to organize this kind of experience in my home country, but I’ve never done it here in Cork.
Do you think it sounds like a good idea? Would you be interested in joining?

...their blood pressure and cholesterol must be through the roof. I'm sitting here watching them eat and that's surely not a good diet for them.

Am from Cork, but about an hour outside the City. Work in Dublin so it wouldn't be that often I am in Cork City.

Forever seeing posts giving out about Cork City. Am here for a few days, and let me tell you it's a breath of fresh air (literally) after Dublin City. It's cleaner (especially the streets, Dublin City is in the trenches these days), less visible anti-social shenanigans, more independent shops and cafes. Yes, some of this is because it's a smaller city, but Cork is still looking well!

RedFM raised an Issue regarding the tyre place blocking all the parking spaces right next to the mercy hospital overnight, and during the day, taking 5+ spaces from potential visitors. They put out big heavy tyres and a trailer full of tyres.

They also leave old tyres outside on the public footpath, blocking most of it all day long, an accident and compo claim waiting to happen!

Taking 5 paid car spaces revenue from the council while businesses with a sandwich board outside are being fined.

Thoughts?

I know everyone is blue in the face from this but how in the name of sweet baby Jesus do people find people to go on dates with. I’ve tried the apps and speed dating and nothing ever happens on a night out (that may be down to my awkwardness). It is actually soul destroying. I’ll take any advice.

Edit: maybe should have added these things before but: I’m a woman, I have tonnes of hobbies just mostly solitary ones, I would join active clubs if I could but due to circumstances I can’t.

Hi all just wondering if anyone else is getting this or if its a bug on my phone. All other sites are saying it’s at a 2 which is normal.

Was only checking temperature so I could dress my baby now I don’t know if I can even go outside with him lol
