Hello!! I have friends visiting Galway this weekend and was wondering where is good for a cheapish night out!? Drink prices are crazy at the moment and can’t be spending a fortune

Why do barbers sit you down, stare at you in the mirror, and ask, “So, what are we doing today?” You carefully explain exactly what you want, and they nod along like they’ve fully understood the assignment… only for you to realise five minutes in that he’s completely ignored every word and is just free styling.

I genuinely looked like a small bush by the end of it random chunks snipped out here and there, no structure, no thought, just “ah sure, that’ll do.” Like some deranged artist creating his own misunderstood niche masterpiece… except the canvas is my head.

He gets to go home proud of his “vision,” while I’m left walking around as his little moving abstract art installation.

Something has to be done. Maybe a national protest. Block off all haircutting equipment from entering the country until proper licences are introduced and these people are held accountable.

Justice for bad haircuts.

Google says Bar Nova is closed. What’s my best option in Galway right now?

Random memory just popped into my head.. Anyone else remember that band of, I think Native Americans, that used to play the pan flutes outside Eason's for years??

I wonder what every happened to them.. or was it a fever dream?

A quick question for the wonderful people of Galway city, heading out in Galway at the weekend for the first time in about 10 years is the no runners policy still in effect or is has it relaxed.

Best of luck with that one, lads.

Having a fry this weekend. Need sausages...good ones...proper good ones. Anyone know a butcher with great sausages?

I'm starting a band with my friends soon and we'll probably be playing in Galway City as much as we can if we get some sort of pub gig do you think the people of Galway like hard rock and grunge or would we have a rough time getting fans

Thanks for your responses

Hi everyone,

I’m in a tough spot and honestly just looking for some advice.

I was recently accepted into an REU (Research Experiences for Undergraduates) program here in Galway, funded by the USA. It’s an incredible opportunity for my career.

The main problem is that the program organizers only gave me my exact dates last Friday. I need to be in Galway from the first week of June until mid-August.

I am well aware of the brutal housing crisis in Galway, and I’ve been frantically looking at all my options, but I am hitting a brick wall everywhere:

• University Villages: I checked with them, but they run on a lottery system, and allocations don't even start until late May for visiting students. I can't wait until a week before my flight to find out if I have a bed.

• Facebook Groups: I've been joining groups, but my inbox is just flooded with people who are very obviously scammers (demanding deposits before viewings, fake profiles, etc.).

• Airbnb: I have checked Airbnbs, but the prices for a two-and-a-half-month stay during the summer are absolutely astronomical.

I’m starting to wonder if I should just reject the offer. I would absolutely love to spend my summer living in Galway, and it would break my heart to turn down such an opportunity simply because I can't find a roof over my head for two and a half months. I just don’t know what I should do.

Does anyone have any advice on how to navigate this? Are there any specific platforms or websites for short-term summer sublets from students going home for the summer? Any tips on navigating this without getting scammed would be incredibly appreciated!

Any line facilitator in Boston Scientific willing to share what their yearly salary is?

I used to be a pb there years ago and moved to another factory. Going for a line lead position here, want to know how it shapes up against my old workplace.
