Gouged by Woodies

Ok. I went into Woodies today to buy a stand for the Xmas tree. They had durable green plastic stands, fine. I needed one so I bought it. The problem is it cost me thirty euros. This is a terrible gouge. The thing costs about a fiver to make and they sell it for thirty! Did I miss the part where Woodies got so greedy?

Christmas nostalgia

Just walking down the high street there and was thinking should we start a petition to get a train in Sam Macauley’s window there loads of space for it 😂

Serious tho remember the train going around Sherwood’s window that’s a great Xmas memory from Kilkenny that doesn’t seem to happen much anymore.

Kris Kindle Kilkenny theme

Well, I'm after being drawn a guy in work for Kris Kindle who was born and raised in Kilkenny. I'm a Sligo man myself but it got me thinking

Is there a gift or item that would make your blood boil if you received it based on the fact you're from kilkenny? Whether it be a rival hurlers autobiography or something more generic

The worse the gift the better here so would really appreciate some ideas

Circle K diesel price

Guys, I can understand various prices in every county, even different city or place like motorway service point, garage close to airport etc.

But as I just moved from northern part of Kilkenny city to southern I’m surprised there’s such a difference in the price of diesel 😬 Circle K close to Hotel Kilkenny sells regular diesel for 176, when at the same time you can get it for 168 near Newpark Hotel. How? :O And why??

It’s not going to ruin my life anyway, but just out of curiosity.

Mafia

I don't want to sound like a fool but would I be wrong to assume that there is a mob/Mafia in Kilkenny and Waterford? I'm always seeing the same people sitting around drinking coffees in groups while smoking cigars. I even took the time to look at the brands on the cigars and they are not cheap at all.

Have a look for yourself. If you see someone with a cigar just have a look and see what I mean 😂

Makeup lessons for mature woman?

Hi guys,

My mam wants to learn how to do some basic makeup to accentuate her eyes and natural features, but has never been one for makeup and doesn't know how to do any. Does anybody know of any makeup artists in the Kilkenny area that give makeup lessons and would be able to teach a mature woman how to do soft makeup? (nothing full glam or heavy)

She said she'd prefer if she could learn from someone who's also a bit older and has first-hand experience in doing soft makeup for over 50s, but any recommendations would be much appreciated!

thank you <3

How reliable is the 7:28am Kilkenny train to Dublin

Could I rely on this service to be consistent with its arrival time to Dublin? Arrives in Dublin at 9:01 apparently , this would get me in to work on time but it would be a tight window, a delay once in a while is fine, but just wondering are their any regular delay issues?

Neighborhood recommendations for a family considering relocating?

Howdy everyone. We are looking at our options about moving from US and Ireland is where we would like you to go. Wife has family in Kilkenny and I hear it’s a pretty great place. Not knowing much about it, are there any neighborhoods that you would recommend? We have a 14 and 12 year old. Oldest boy loves sports and the younger girl loves theater. I’m not sure of living in the town proper or living on outskirts in a detached home, which is what we are used to. I’ll take any suggestions or advice you may have. Thanks!

Best gym/pool/sauna in Kilkenny?

Looking to join a gym with a nice pool/sauna. Assuming it’ll be one of the hotels. Any experiences/suggestions?

Not particularly looking for the fanciest, or the cheapest, just something that has good selection of both gym stuff and a decent sauna/steam room really

Dublin city by bus to Kilkenny city

Hey folks, I've left it too late to buy a ticket online for the JJ Kavanagh bus tomorrow morning (Friday Nov 8th). I have the day off work and want to go down in the morning and see the place, and back to Dublin in the evening. Have never been. What's the story with these buses? Is there likely to be a seat if I just go down to the quays tomorrow morning and pay the driver?
