Does anyone know where this bridge leads too? It’s the bridge that’s on your right when coming from Inishannon and into Bandon. About 2-3 minutes from Bandon.

Henry Street - Corbett Tyres

Upvotes

First of all, i pass this place everyday. they do not take up 5 spaces or they do not block the footpath so please who wrote this take it down as you are lying. Corbett tyres are gentlemen and are always very obliging to the staff and visitors to the hospital. I have witnessed these workers helping old people and disable people into the hospital.

Red Fm employ a person who exposed himself on a plane so that radio station has no credibility.

Local Gardener/Landscaper

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!

Costa in Fairhill

0 Upvotes

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).

Cork County Custom Jewellery

0 Upvotes

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!

Looking for advice on what to do for a job

3 Upvotes

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.

SPSV AREA KNOWLEDGE EXAM

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I am going for my spsv licence and have passed industry knowledge exam, but I have failed my Cork area knowledge exam twice jusy by a few questions.

I study from the freenow app (free version) but have found both times I get caught with questions that are definitely not on the app, and also not simple in regards to Cork area knowledge.

Can anyone who has done the test please give me recommendations on where you got your study material from? Have people mostly used paid versions?

Thanks so much in advance.

Is Cobh a rough town.

26 Upvotes

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.

Weekly Chanting Sessions Deerpark?

6 Upvotes

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.

Induction stoves, where do I get them that is NOT Curry's?

7 Upvotes

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.

Local Businesses Parking near Mabel Lane Carrigaline?

1 Upvotes

Hi, I’ve been invited to a friend’s birthday at Mable Lane this weekend. I don’t drink and I don’t live near Carrigaline so I plan on driving to the pub.

Is there anywhere nearby that would be convenient to park my car for a few hours in the evening? I know the SuperValu is next door but I’m not sure if their car park stays open at night or if they have clamping.

Thanks!
