I’ll never understand it myself… That’s it on the extreme side but it’s regularly 30 deep

The Bank of Ireland

Con the Robber passed away suddenly recently. A great character from the Northside gone.

It’s not the same giving directions in Cork City without the old Crow’s Nest pub.

What’s that big white and glass building called?

“D’you know where the Crows Nest was? Yeah well there’s a big white and glass block there now, stay left…”

I had to type out directions for the wife.
Crow’s Nest would have been easier to type than, big white and glass building.

Are you still in the 1970s

Google Maps wouldn’t help you drive from The Lee Road to CUH. It’s all about getting into the right lane at the right time.

Am I right @Locke?

971

It does

972

Seems straightforward enough

Google maps sent us wrong in cork a few weeks ago. Tried to make us go the wrong way down a one way st.

*lads, when did the one ways around mccurtan st and Patrick’s hill change?

977

There was major roadworks on McCurtain street

978

Thats very clearly not an answer to the question asked.

979

Sorry so, I’m don’t think the one be way system has changed, I drove there last weekend, but during the roadworks they were quite different

980

That’s the tricky bit where local lane knowledge is essential.
Take the wrong land there and you’ll end up in Ballincollig…

981

Really? You can drive straight across from patricks st now and continue on up patricks hill? That used to be one way downhill from wellington road/st? Mccurtain st is now 2 way?

982

Yep. It’s weird driving down the wrong way.
