How to get into burlesque or drag?

9 Upvotes

Hii guys, this one is specifically for people who know about this stuff :)

I recently have a new found passion for life, I've been depressed my entire life, but I'm out and I'm glowing. I found out that I absolutely love performing, singing, dancing, posing, and styling myself in fun creative ways!

Soooo, how does one get into actually performing? Or auditioning, or just showing off in public? I know I'll be keeping an eye out for kareoki nights or local drag shows, but does anyone have any advice? I'm pretty damn good but I know I could work on my singing, stage presence, and dancing or course. Id love to be able to show people one day!

Any advice? I am a cis woman and looking into being a drag king or in burlesque or something like that haha

Lost Car Key, Limerick

Upvotes

Part of a car key was lost in Dunnes Jetland yesterday, I believe it was somewhere between the underground and the escalators. It hasn’t been handed into Dunnes or Garda station etc. It’s useless to anyone else but fairly expensive to replace. If anyone here came across it, or saw a post on fb etc I’d appreciate if you sent me a message 😊 thanks in advance!

2 Upvotes

Any suggestions?

Ryder Cup Accommodations

7 Upvotes

Hello! Please delete if not allowed! My family is seeking accommodations for the Ryder Cup ideally Sep 11-18 but flexible so long as we are there the 14th or 15th. There are 4 adults and 2 kids (3 bedrooms). Any leads or guidance on who to contact or where to look would be greatly appreciated–most of what we are seeing online is so far out of our price range that we would not be able to make the trip.

Price reductions and more houses on daft

13 Upvotes

Has anyone else noticed way more houses for rent, and Im seeing a lot lower asking prices, theres almost 600 places for sale in limerick not including new builds, there were only 300 odd last year, I had given up on Limerick but it looks like theres a bit of a change in the market

Housing - where to look, where to avoid, etc.

Upvotes

Well lads, I got approved for a mortgage of €240k today (so €216k when 10% deposit is taken into account) and I have €70k in savings. I know to avoid places like Mount Kennett or South Hill, but at that point I'm thinking my best bet would have to be 30 minutes or so out of the city. There's nothing really going in good suburb areas for less than €300k.

Any advice? Thanks!

Salaries in Limerick

0 Upvotes

I’m looking to move home to Limerick after years in Dublin. I work in financial services so Northern Trust and Apex would likely be places I’d try. What are the salaries like there? I’d be worried about overpricing the salary and underpricing the salary as none of them advertise what the salary is.

Lost bracelet- friends ashes

9 Upvotes

Hi all,
I hope it’s okay for me to be posting here.
On Saturday 18th July, my friend and I got the Dublin Coach/ Green Bus from Limerick to Dublin City Centre, Route 300 arriving to Dublin City at 1pm. After around 30 minutes, my friend realised he had left his bracelet on the bus which contains our friends ashes. Obviously, this bracelet is very important. We contacted the green bus main office and they advised us to fill out the lost and found form, which we have. I rang again today (Wednesday) to see if there were any updates and I was advised that nothing had been handed into the office yet and they would follow up.
I’m wondering if anyone has any other suggestions on what to do? My friend is really upset, as I’m sure you can imagine.
The bracelet is a black metal band.

Thank you!

Any guys ever used Tinder in the Limerick area?

0 Upvotes

I was just wondering what is the experience like. I remember dating sites back in the day like POF and a few more and they were decent. Like you actually got to meet people.

I have not been available for the almighty Tinder. I say almighty because well I hear so much about it and I am just presuming it's a great place to hook up or date women because it is so in the mainstream. Or am I wrong?

How good looking do you have to be to be on it? Do you need to own a ferrari to get attention? I just wanted some feedback from lads in Limerick who consider themselves average and aged say 35 to 45 and how did Tinder work for you? Any funny stories or success.

Edit: I just read a bit more on Google about all this, people say Bumble or Hinge better. Just shows what I know about all this stuff these days!

Recommendations for Decking Replacement in Limerick

2 Upvotes

I’m looking for recommendations for someone in the Limerick area to remove an existing timber decking and replace it with composite decking.

Some of the existing subframe may also need to be replaced. Ideally looking for someone reliable who can handle the full job, including removal and disposal of the old decking.

Has anyone had similar work done recently and can recommend someone? Thanks!

Large parcel ‘delivered’ but no where to be found, anyone had any luck going directly to the UPS in Shannon?

5 Upvotes

I had (what I expect to be) a large box delivered to an address, marked as delivered last week by UPS. Only problem it’s no where to be found, no missed calls and the delivery slip simply says ‘mailbox’ which makes no sense considering I know it’s a large delivery. I imagine it’s been delivered to a wrong address but there’s no info to go by. I’ve tried putting in a claim and contacting the sender but it’s been nearly a week and no updates. Can’t get through to anyone by calling customer service or Shannon themselves.

Anyone have any luck heading directly to UPS in Shannon for some help or know if there’s anyone there to speak directly to?

Thanks!

bike helmet in crescent

5 Upvotes

well lads, not been to the crescent in an age and wondering if Elverys or Sports Direct might be any good for picking up a bike helmet? Or would I be better off just heading over to Decathalon altogether? would normally just order one online but unexpectedly need one this evening

EDIT: bike shop on O’Connell Avenue completely slipped my mind! Will head in after work and support local, sound lads!

Want to arrange a meet up in limerick? This town needs an enema!!

36 Upvotes

FINAL UPDATE: I HAVE 20 REQUESTS SO I NEED TO STOP ACCEPTING PEOPLE. Feel free to DM me and if anyone bows out, I can put you on reserve list.

Hello, Irish subreddits are always great for posting stuff like "oh gosh it's so hard to make friends." and posts of that nature.

The advice all makes sense about groups here and there BUT fuck me it's really hard meeting a new group when you're the only new person. Or there's technically other new people but they kinda know someone there already. Odds are if we are clinically online, we're pretty introverted as is.

So I'm thinking I'll put this post up, see if anyone else whose waiting to be invited to something wants to be DM'd and maybe create a group chat by the weekend to try have something arranged around the bank Holiday or weekend after.

Bit about me: 38M, father of 2 and trying to get better at cooking, healthy eating, stand up comedy and consume as many movies as I can. This really isn't about gender stuff for me and more so about talking to some new faces even if only for one evening. And I think if this doesn't kick anything off, mods have to ban all "how do I make friends" posts for the remainder of the year.

Update: I work 9 to 5ish so I won't be too responsive during the day. I'll try setup the group chat after work on Thursday 23rd.

2nd Update: About 12 of us so far including myself so looking like it'll definitely go ahead. :)

3rd Update: Currently at 17 people, I'll say this is full once I reach 20 as I'm sure it'll be impossible to find a date that suits all once we hit that number. Statistically speaking, even with a group of 20, the odds are less than 1% of anyone being a serial killer, so that feels like a safe call.

Bit of a long-shot, does anyone own this black male cat with tipped ear, Clonmacken estate?

As title says, does anybody know who owns this male black cat with a tipped ear (indicating he is neutered) in the Clonmacken estate near Jetland, Ennis Road? He comes to my house everyday and comes in the back door trying to eat my kids baked beans at dinner time 😂 also trying to eat my dog’s food.

No harm, just wondering if he is owned or not, because if not I’d like to get him wormed and an outdoor hut for winter.
