Itās needs a chipper walking tour
Between @treatystones and @backinatracksuit we almost know the manās shittinghabits at this stageā¦be great to see a little icon of him moving about the map alright.
You could go all 1998 and have the website play āYou are my sunshineā every time someone opens it
That is fantastic, the crowd over on Boards would probably give you the freedom of the forum for that.
Iāll give that a good once over when Iāve time.
Only trouble is that it doesnāt tell you where to get a poncy brunch or an Algerian wheat beer which is what most of the savages who look for info on the city are after.
Kudos to ye.

I posted it on boards if I wasnāt bannedā¦
A page of Tom the Busker jokes would go viral in minutes.
The GlasBrigade would go mad.
Tom doesnāt like the gays and some of his jokes might get them riled up.

I saw something amusing the other day, there was a fella who plays the squeezebox very well parked at the corner of Catherine Street and Thomas street, he was banging out a tune that poor old Tom would be 20 years learning the first bar of, who strolled past only the man himself with a face like thunder, I was hoping thereād be a mini turf war but Tom kept going with a sulk up on him.
I genuinely havenāt heard Tom play a song in yonks, the last 20+ times Iāve walked past him he was just sitting with the accordion on his knee talking away to someone

Tom is a legend but he is fucking helpless on that yoke.
@ChocolateMice, Iāve just had a good look around that Limerick map, simple but very impressive, Iāll use it some day to have a walk around with my eldest, I hadnt a clue about quite a lot of those places.
I went on a very interesting walk with a historical society that my father in law is half involved with recently. It was led by Liam Irwin whom Iām sure you know and it was along the canal, the Park Danes were an interesting bunch.
Thomond Archaeological Societyā¦ Yeah Liam is my old mentor, a gas man. Yeah, they were members of the Abbey Fishermen amongst other things.
What was so great about the abbey fisherman ? Was net fishing for salmon in that river not just the equivalent of shooting fish in a barrel.
Well they were around since the 12th century if not earlierā¦some historians believe they had been fishing the river going all the way back to Celtic Times and their traditions were the last of the Brehon laws to be practiced ā¦ But yeah, Iām sure they were a shower of cunts.
I saw two of them smoking joints across from the Absolute hotel a couple of weeks back.
They werenāt catching much anyway.
You are insulting my in-laws now, watch it Lofty

I believe you would have caught salmon before the likes of Shannon banks was built years ago.
That of course and more importantly Ardnacrusha - that was criminal in ways.
Read about the Battle of the Tailrace, thereās a good article in an old Limerick journal (if youāre interested in that kind of thing)

Iād say a decent % of Limerick people were related to them mate.
My in-laws are the same, and possibly my fathers side.
I had a savage meal in Papaāz on Denmark street earlier on, spicy brisket sandwich on in house baked ciabatta, and unbelievable sautĆ©ed potatoes,
Iāve eaten from there quite a few times and it never disappoints, great spot if youāre a bit hungrier than usual.
