Another new person!

[PeterMcK]

Hi all!

Peter here... I arrived in Cork about a fortnight ago to start a job at UCC.

Just thought I'd post here to introduce myself!

[admin]

You are most welcome PeterMcK [:-D]

Is this your first time livng in Cork?

[PeterMcK]

Yeah... or in Ireland for that matter - I've only lived in England so far!

Wow, then even more welcomes! [:-D]

Cork is a nice city to live in, and there's plenty to keep you occupied.
Our gay scene is small compared to Dublin, but then compared to the rest of Ireland we can quite fortunate. [;-)]

Do chat to the locals here, plenty of people make friends from here.
We should be having a meet-up sometime soon where you can meet a few of us [:-D]

[Bootyzilla]

Welcome Peter! Hope it all goes well for you!

[Hay-ch]

Welcome PeterMcK

[louislestat]

[Cinaed]

welcome PeterMck! i've moved on to dublin at this stage, but cork's like my adopted home, and you're very, very lucky to have ended up there, you'll fall in love with the city!


Some do's and don'ts for ya:

Do:
Lennox's Chipper!!!!
Freakscene
Mizzoni's pizza, yum!
Ruby's on Friday, Instinct on Saturday (it's like Mass, go every week!)
Loafers, Tom Barry's, & Franciscan Well, savage beer gardens!
Trek to Mahon point (if you have a car, or are scoring someone with a car, otherwise don't bother :) )
Trips to Kerry, Limerick (stab city, but sure its fun!), Galway & Dublin frequently!
Travel by Train
Go to GC meet ups, they're fun! (just don't show up late/drunk [:-))])


Don't:
Date boys from Galway or Clare
North Side
Freakscene
Travel by bus
ever under any circumstances fly aer arann!
Pull 'an Invincible' or 'a Spiller')
Spiller

Also note that if you're going to book a flight somewhere, just book it from Dublin. ryanair doesn't have a lot of variety departing from cork, and Aer lingus is often expensive!

There is nothing wrong with the Northside you cheeky cow, The Franciscan Well which you just praised is on the NORTH Mall [:-P]

[Cinaed]

[=;] north mall is so not north side, plus it's like, all the way down the end there, and its not out in the open on the north side, it's very enclosed and safe. [:-P]

it's fine, i live in D1 now, i suppose i can't judge...

Excuuuuuuuuuuuuse me. You walk down the NORTH main street and cross the NORTH Gate bridge to get to the NORTH Mall..............oh thats right it must be on the Southside.[=;] Its at the start Sundays Well and thats on the Northside too. Shock, horror and its ''posh''
I live at the start of Gurranabraher which and it takes 4 minutes to walk to the Franciscan Well

[Invincible]

Welcome Peter. Cool name by the way[:-P].

Cork is a brilliant place and u so have to come to the next meetup.

Whenever that is happening!

[opus]

Welcome :) Working in UCC will give you the chance to meet loads of people for sure!

Having been in there last night would agree about the 'Well; both that it's a good pub & that it's on the North side!

[spiller]

Welcome Peter!!!

Hope you enjoy all that cork has to offer...

*goes away to look up what cork has to offer, apart from the fabulous people of gaycork.com!*

[jellybaby]

Welcome[@};-]

Ignore what Cinaed said about the northside, he's a yank[:-P]

[jellybaby]

We should be having a meet-up sometime soon where you can meet a few of us [:-D]

i'm just about recovered enough from the last meet-up to begin discussing another one soon[:-D]

[Shiva]

Welcome to the party :)

Don't worry I'm fully intending to... [:-P]

I've already discovered the 'Well - it's just great to be able to drink beer that isn't one of the usual three stouts. Although I'm living off Sunday's Well Road so I'm starting to get a bit worried from some of these comments!

[-Vonnie-]

Welcome Peter!

Usual GayCork meet ups are every Friday night in Rubys so come along and look for the daft crowd on the dancefloor [:-D]

Ahh you are fine! That's the "old money" part of Cork, and also where our beloved Bootyzilla resides.
