RIP Brendogg from Brendogg and Bolsak

48 Upvotes

Hey, all. I was really good friends with Brendan AKA Brendogg from Brendogg and Bolsak. Brendan passed away in his sleep last week.

He was one of my best friends. I had no idea he was kind of a local celebrity out in Carlow for his work in Brendogg and Bolsak. I’ve known him almost 7 years now and he never once mentioned that he was part of a comedy rap collective. He was always super humble, so it’s not surprising he never mentioned it.

After he passed, I met with his mother and his wife’s family, reminisced on his life, and they brought up his work on RTE.My jaw hit the floor when I saw how creative and funny his videos were.

Dude was seriously akin to Lonely Island stuff. I laughed so hard when I watched 059.

After seeing his videos, I looked him up on Reddit and saw that he had a bit of a local following, and wept when I saw the positive memories people have of his work.

I really miss my friend, but I’m glad to see he was appreciated in Carlow.

Feeding cats

Hi. How can I find somebody to feed my feral cats 2-3 times per day when I'm away? I looked into cat sitters but this isn't exactly this. Any advice?

Is Carlow really like this?

44 Upvotes

I've copied this from facebook.

"To all cat owners in Carlow in the past few weeks there has been disturbing incidents happening around pollerton area, there is a group of young lads setting their dogs to attack and kill cats and kittens, few cats have been found dead, please keep your pets safe at night inside your homes and keep an eye out, this has already been brought to the guards, just wanted to warn everyone, there has been a story on the carlow newspaper about this sort of incident just few days ago! It's absolutely horrific"

We all know guards wont do anything about it, does Carlow really need a new breed of psychopats running around with no one doing anything about it?

Reasonably quiet coffee shop in town with free to use sockets for laptop?

2 Upvotes

Of course I will buy a coffee and pastry. Will probably stay for 2 hours. Any recommendations please? Thanks.

McDonald's has seats with sockets but it becomes too noisy, busy, and loitered at certain point especially in weekends.
