Is there actually any good chippers in Carlow town?

8 Upvotes

I’m talking Lyons’ in Clonmel/Dungarvan, Romayos, Beshoffs etc.

- Actually fresh chips that don’t taste like they’ve been sitting out for a month

- Curry sauce that’s dark and flavourful and not watery and bright yellow

- Crispy onion rings in a light batter and not a thick, undercooked, bready batter.

- Decent sized portions

- Actually have the order ready (or close enough) when you ring/order for collection and not still have you standing there for 20 minutes as if you just ordered.

La gustos/Marios&Luigis/Billy Bunters are always a massive let down. I just want a decent chipper!!!

Hello lads, I've spent ages looking for a part time job this summer or even full time until I head back to school. I would preferably do retail but I was wondering if anyone knows where I can apply because I have been trying for so long with no luck whatsoever. Cheers

Dodgy mechanic?

31 Upvotes

Anybody familiar with the mechanic Melvin with the garage behind Day Break on the Athy Road in Carlow town? Seen a few pretty concerning red flags with him eg not only does every other sentence start with "I'm not racist but ..." but he also doesn't seem to treat women very well from what I can gather. Very short tempered and hostile if women challenge him on anything so I'm wondering is he like this just with women or do any fellas have similar experiences? I know he's sold cars that have broken down shortly after as well but can't figure out if these are ones offs if anyone has similar experiences I'd be interested to hear about it

Anyone know of some B&B or hostel that allow for some longer term renting?

8 Upvotes

I'm doing an apprenticeship, and I'm starting college in September and finishing up in December.

I'm just wondering if anyone knows any spots that I could contact and work out a deal for staying during the week.

I'm gonna be having a look at all the usual spots for finding accommodation, but with the way things are, I'd say it will be hard got.

If anyone knows anything, it will be very helpful

Tricolours left out to rot around St. Laurence O'Toole.

What's with all the tricolours left to rot around St. Laurence O'Toole.

Do the supposed patriots who put them up actually not have any respect for the flag at all. (Quelle surprise)

All these Patriots who fly the flag 24/7 365 with no understanding of the Dawn to Dusk respect for the Tricolour.

Apache SUCKS!

I got a pizza there delivered the other day. Noticed that the dough was wider and the toppings area became smaller. But the price increased. It was dry and looked like it was microwaved. I just don’t feel like I’m getting my moneys worth anymore.

Anyone else notice this?
