r/cork

I was walking by Joe McHugh park tonight on the Lough Mahon pathway at around 9:45 and as I moved to the edge of the path for a fast approaching oncoming e-bike, the cyclist in a thick American accent screamed at me, "I f**king hate n****rs". I'm white BTW.

And as it happened fast and he was on a bike I couldn't catch or hit him but judging by the look of a few other walkers I met on the way very shortly after I'm of the idea that it just was not me that he was shouting at.

What kind of actual loser would do that and I'd love to see him get his comeuppance.

I'm posting this as it actually pissed me off, I bumped into an Indian man and his kids on Jacob's Island a few minutes later and was thinking imagine what the American would have said to him.

So did anyone else encounter this nutjob tonight around Blackrock/Mahon ?

My friend has been bragging saying he found a date on reddit. now i don't usually judge or honestly care if he did or didn't. he was saying they had Nsa fun and another lined up. if it's true good for him but he saying reddit is a great place to meet women. it bothers me because he is talking like they are toys not people. so i just wanted to ask has anyone on here meet a lady or a man or is he just full of it I'd love love to call him on it. I'd really appreciate so feedback from cork people please

Not sure what happened here exactly. Absolutely shocking stuff.

Hi lads, I wanna join up a hiking club, preferably one with people in my age range (20s/30s). Does anyone have any ideas or recommendations? I live in the city but willing to drive :)

Who in their right mind has one train an hour during summer to Cobh? It’s normally bad but when there is a boat in and the two carriages on are packed full and cruise ship passengers get priority? We were denied boarding at Kent station today due to overcrowding. It’s summer. In Cobh. Cruise ships are in nearly every day. It is a disgrace and the company is lucky that no one was taken ill as there were older people, pregnant women and children getting on board. Irish rail should be ashamed of themselves. In what right minded country is having FEWER TRAINS on a day where more people use them, a good idea? The drivers are already at work! What is so monumentally difficult in having the same timetable seven days a week?!

Do your damn jobs.

Is there a set time for doors at the marquee? The info for all the shows just says 8pm but I’m assuming that’s not the time for the doors I just can’t find it anywhere online 🫠 I like to be there early to get a drink/bite to eat then a good spot in the crowd since I’m quite short it’s hard to see sometimes lol

Been around all day looking for Brazil home tops and cant find a single one

Feck the fecking senior hurlers and the misplaced hype. These young lads today came back from a huge deficit to beat Tyrone 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Why’s it genuinely so hard to find employment as a student in cork? Even with work experience and a certificate in what I am qualified in, getting no interviews is incredibly hard. Also being under age doesn’t help either. Have tried giving CVs in person but they say ‘go online and apply’ or ‘we’re not taking anyone on at the moment’. Can’t even get a job in Penneys..

Hi All,

Hoping someone can help me.

I'm finally biting the bullet and want to start driving however the wall I'm coming up against is that most instructors base themselves in Wilton and you need to go to them for the lesson (based on the responses I've received from the 3 I've reached out to).

I completely understand why.

Problem is I would have to get a taxi from the other side of the city and the first time I did it was €22 there and €25 back due to traffic.

I get that getting stuck in traffic is why instructors don't collect students, but adding almost €50 to the cost of each lesson will put learning to drive out of my budget completely.

So I was wondering if anyone knows of an instructor that will pick you up and start the lesson from your home? Or even somewhere in the city center?

Thanks.

Have a couple of jerseys that I love but they’re getting old and the sponsors are peeling off a bit.

Anywhere or anyone around that fixes them? Probably a shot in the dark but I’ve seen pages in England on TikTok and stuff that seem to do it but would rather give someone more local a bit of coin.

Where does highlights for males any barbers in town or is it a regular hairdresser

Thinking of things to get involved in over the next year beyond the baby classes.

I absolutely intend to do little swimmers and a couple of other mam and baby classes but beyond that I am thinking of my own personal development and sanity.

I will be leaving a fairly professional world for a year after a long time and I have been getting a lot of my social interactions from work, and I'm aware how lonely it can be.

I've already joined my local library where I intend to take part in some Irish speaking meet ups and maybe a knitting meet up. All things that usually happen during work hours.b

What else is out there for a new parent that you might recommend or found helpful?

Please and thank you for reading.

Popping up to the marina next week before a gig and wondering what vegan options they have now since the saucy cow closed.
