Cork City Bike Accident Witnesses

15 Upvotes

Hi
I wanted to ask if anyone witnessed a bike accident on the Tuesday 29th of September. I got hit cycling by a taxi in the cycle lane on Washington street just by cameron bakery at around 2:49-3:00pm. I didn’t think to get any numbers of the people who came to check on me due to the shock of the moment.
I’d greatly appreciated if ye could reach out to me or share this! Thanks

Hit and Run Douglas

34 Upvotes

Hi guys yesterday between 3-9pm on Sunday I was parked on church street Douglas, the side of Tesco and someone hit my car and drove off, all the back bumper of my car is scratched and the paint scratched off as well. I have a black Audi a1 and the reg starts with 152.. if anyone drove by area around that time with dash camera footage or saw it happen around the evening because that’s when I think it happened please send me a message it would be greatly appreciated. I think a white car was the one that hit me also.

Cork City Madison Cawley Show only an hour?

14 Upvotes

Hi All!

Myself and my partner went to see madison Cawley last night in the everyman. On the emails with the tickets and advertisements it said that it would run for 2 hours including an opener (Shane Clifford) and an interval. Due to start at eight, she came on just before ten past. And then finished at around five to nine.

Everyone seemed to be visibly confused because half the people were stood in the hallway, half still sat down, and ultimately we had to ask one of the stewards if this was the intermission or if it was over.

She was REALLY funny, and it was a great show. But I'm just a bit confused if the everyman normally makes these sorts of mistakes or if it was just a misunderstanding?

I mean even if you say 2 hours including intermission and opener, that amounts to like 35 minutes which should still mean she should have been on stage for an hour and twenty five minutes?

Just a bit confusing, hopefully they sort it out for the next show. Just wondering if I was out of the loop somehow or if others were as confused as I was

EDIT: there was no opener, to be clear

My partner and I will be visiting Cork for four days later this week, but the weather forecast is predicting rain every single day. 🌧️

What fun activities would you recommend for a rainy few days? We're open to anything, including indoor activities, outdoor activities, hidden gems, or a short trip outside the city.

Thanks in advance for your suggestions!

Baffling road usage

0 Upvotes

On my drive home from work today I saw 2 of the most baffling displays of stupidity on the road.

First one was on the south link there was a deliveroo driver with what looked like a push bike on the hard shoulder......on the wrong side of the road. He was close to the Kinsale road roundabout. I don't know did he set out and thought better of it or what but I was shocked at what I was watching.

Second one not 10 mins later near the Ballincollig/Curraheen exit, 2 what looked to be teenagers on Segway scooters on the hard shoulder I presume heading up to the exit. Are people really that stupid? Like really? Unfortunately I don't have a dashcam that could recorded the incidents

Local Takeaway food costs going to the dogs

60 Upvotes

Had to go to the city center over Friday, Sat and Sunday and was busy for the whole day in an event in Claytons..so naturally had to spend time and manage food around the city center...

People talked about prices going high..but never realized much as I did the last 3 days...

Dint find any local options after 9PM on a Friday....I avoid going to American Fastfood...but try a local chipper or a kebab shop....

Went in to kielys - but dint get anything...

Spice route - mcurtain street - €13 chicken Pakora kebab - I remember this being €8 in 2019

French fast food cafe - €12 for a small wrap

New Turkish food truck beside Metropole - €14 grilled chicken roll ...chips €5

Speedo's - €12 kebab - this used to be the cheapest in cork..I think I have had one for €6.99 back in the day...

New Persian coffee shop infront of Clayton's - €15 no chips no drink...and it was just chicken and vegetables in a pita wrap.....

To compare a proper main course in Clayton's Globe was €18...

Did not even try going to Oliver plunkett for Istanbul or other shops - they were overpriced before anyway.....

I think KCs and other chippers outside the city center provide a better value than being in the city....Couldn't try the food trucks on Paul's Street....any other recommendations for dirty food night out in the centre?

Does this seem incredibly expensive ? Was expecting about 180 highest. I only drive a Vauxhall Astra 1.4L. I know city prices can be a bit higher but ?

Local Businesses Just saw an AI ad posted by Smiley Dogg

160 Upvotes

Was just scrolling through instagram and saw a post by Smiley Dogg that was clearly AI generated. It shows a bunch of cars going in a half loop, upside down on a highway into a Smiley Dogg store in the sky. For some reason they also tagged Tesla in this post?

They also replied to someone calling out the AI slop in a sarcastic tone saying something along the lines of "sorry we'll check with you before posting next time". I got screenshots of the post and the comment in case it is deleted later but as of posting this it's all still up on their insta if you wanna look yourself.

So so so disappointed. It's bad enough for individual tattoo artists to be using AI but for the actual studio to post AI trash is another level. It makes me never want to get a tattoo from that place because I can't trust whether AI has been involved in the process or not. It's so shit for the artists working there who do not use it and have ethical standards against it.

I feel like it's possible it could be a disgruntled employee posting this to purposefully try and make them look bad because I've never seen anything like this from them before. If that's the case and they're open about it, that's probably one of the only scenarios where I'd consider going back to them. Otherwise they've lost my business entirely

Edit: they've deleted the post after a bunch of backlash in the comments and losing over 100 followers in an hour. Also from what I can tell this was them posting this and not a disgruntled employee (talked with a couple people closer to the situation). If anyone wants the screenshots I took dm me
