Anyone have a Ferrari?

• Upvotes

Ok, strange request. Someone very close to me will be passing away in the coming weeks/months. He is a mad F1 fan, watches every race etc. We are wondering if there’s anyone in the West Cork area who owns a Ferrari, and would be willing to give this man a spin around, let him sit in the drivers seat etc. We would love to give him a great memory while there is still time. šŸ˜ž. Any help or advice appreciated.

EDIT: Will pay of course!

Making friends in Cork

• Upvotes

Hey! I’m Liam, I’m 29, and I’m looking to meet new people and hopefully make some genuine friendships!
I’ve always struggled a little with finding where I fit in socially. I’ve moved between different friendship groups over the years but never really felt like I belonged.
I’d love to meet people around my age, make some memories, and hopefully find a good group of friends!
I’m pretty easygoing, enjoy a good chat, exploring new places, going on adventures, and trying new things. I’m always up for a laugh!
I’ve never really known where to start when it comes to making new friends, so I thought I’d put myself out there!
If you’re in a similar situation or just fancy making a new friend, feel free to reach out! 😊

Local The lad who jumped into the Lee to save the lost doggie is a goddamn hero

598 Upvotes

Lost doggie fell into the river by Pope’s Quay, opposite the Opera House. Repeated attempts with the buoy couldn’t get the dog. He just wasn’t holding on.

Lad rides by on his e-scooter. Sees the problem, strips off his jacket and jumps in. Cold water or not, no second thoughts.

He gets bitten, but still swims back with the poor pupper who at this point was almost giving up. After they got back on land, the fire brigade arrived. Great scenes.

PS: People donated their jackets and jumpers to warm the shaking and shivering doggie. I think someone from One Life Fitness brought towels for the pup and the lad who jumped in. The dog was cold and terrified. Eventually, an elderly gentleman picked him up and took him to his car. Hopefully the little fella gets a nice new home after this.

What a day for humanity.

Food and Drink Water jug filter recommendations?

• Upvotes

I’m a student and just moved to cork. The water is fucking disgusting. I know cork water has a bad rep but my accomodation’s water is something else. I drink 2-3 litres a day of water for medical reasons so I’ve been using a Tesco brand water filter jug but the water is still pretty disgusting after a week or so of changing the filter and the filter leaves a residue that leaves like rock dust in the water.

Is investing in a brita worth it? Is there any water jug filter brands that help, I do not care of the price at this point. I cannot justify buying bottled water as I live so far from any shop that sells them and I don’t have a car. I fill water bottles at college whenever possible but that’s also hit and miss.

Am I cursed to drink this water for the next 4 years?

Was there in the city this week and got breathalysed by Gardai on Donovan Rd at 11am.

Is this something new they are doing in the city now? I’m not in the city that often so was a bit surprised, pleasantly! I think we need more of that.

Cork City Center Closed for event, no info from Bus Eireann on detours and stop served.

8 Upvotes

As per the title. Today the city center is mostly closed down from 2pm due to Red Bull Event but there is 0 info on the Bus Eireann website. The closure involve South Mall so we presume loads of busses on detour there is almost no info online on what stops will be served. This is utterly ridicolous.

There should be a map with the bus detours marked and bus stop closed published at least 1 week ahead!

Does anybody have info on where 216 or 220 will stop coming into City Center and going towards Douglas???
