The woman at the counter grunted to inform me that there was no ketchup. Cafe Kylemore will win no awards for service, but my god, what joy their sausages bring. No better way to say goodbye to Corcaigh and to Ireland… that is at least until Lennox chipper opens in the new terminal. [...]
Cork City will face Apollon Limassol of Cyprus in the first qualifying round of the Champions League. The winner will then go on to play Red Star Belgrade (aka FK Crvena Zvezda). All the qualifying round fixtures are here.
I have never heard of Apollon Limassol but Heres where Wikipedia comes in handy:
In 2006 [...]
Michael Jackson flew in today and according to RTE, he will be staying at Blackwater Castle in Castletownroche. Locals speculate that he may have come to attend their far-famed fortnightly jumble sale. Others reckon that he’s actually going to stay with Michael Flathead. Either way, you’d think theres no need for the [...]

Cork’s major worry will be about injuries. They do not have Kilkenny’s numbers, but their quality overrides any deficiency in quantity. However, injuries to [...]
For anyone who doesn’t usually listen to Cork’s 96fm – tomorrow is a good day to tune in. Even the rest of ye who are not in Cork would do well to listen in online, because the Celebrity Voices competition is there for the taking. Each word “Corks” “Perfect” “Music” “Mix” “96″ [...]
I have a bone to pick with you. You’re losing me sleep. I’m holding you directly responsible for my current situation, one of domestic anguish. Because of the relentless gunshots and sirens, I stayed up until midnight frantically drilling rawlplugs, filling cracks, boarding up the back windows with sheet steel. I then lay awake [...]
A good post by Stevie G last night to let us know that Kanye is coming to Cork. I have to say, I am delighted that the Marquee is growing in strength like this. Last year there was something for everyone – music to suit all ages and a healthy mix of genres. [...]
I was in Wired to the World MacCurtain Street yesterday – the biggest netcafe & callcenter in Ireland, they claim. I sat down at the first computer, and started looking for the mouse… with no success. Slightly confused, I asked the guy next to me and he showed me how to power it [...]
