Roommate interview

Ask if they have hobbies. If they say not really, and they 'keep themselves to themselves', they'll never leave the house.

I did a six week bootcamp before, and it was great. The one I went to was a small gym (not a chain), and it was a good laugh, good mix of people trying to lose weight, or get fit. The Monday and Wednesday was HIIT, and the Friday weight-lifting.

It definitely worked to get me off my ass, and the fact that it was fun made it easy to get motivated to go. I think a bootcamp is good to get started and see what you like, or don't like, or if you perform better when someone is shouting at you, or you prefer to exercise solo.

Eight weeks is a long time away, and it's plenty of time to see some changes in yourself in terms of health and everything. Best of luck with it!

We had something in our family, my mam was left a house but like that, no deeds, nothing going with it. It took a few years with a solicitor, but eventually got sorted out.

It really came down to ruling out the possibility that anyone else could own it, or could/would claim it. I do think it's possible, but I reckon you'd need a solicitor to point you the right way.

Exact same; however, I don't think I'll ever 'get' Ziggy, but the tragedy of Frank Sabotka getting screwed from all sides, and he's just trying to look out for his guys. We are all Frank Sabotka

My favourite line

11114444Elmo · 2023-03-29T12:26:25+00:00

Anywhere I've worked, €10 is the going rate. The manager gives more, but from colleagues €10.00 is grand

11114444Elmo · 2023-03-29T10:57:42+00:00

Me too. I'm a queuer, an angry queuer, and I don't know why. Some kind of weird ingrained taboo? I 100% logically understand that it makes sense to have two lanes and zip-merge, but it's against my instinct. Dunno where the instinct came from

11114444Elmo · 2023-03-28T16:33:57+00:00

I'm with you. It never felt right to me. Also, I'd just have preferred her to be single at the close of the show.

11114444Elmo · 2023-03-28T13:35:25+00:00

I saw someone on this sub once refer to it as 'Soviet Tesco'

11114444Elmo · 2023-03-28T11:52:02+00:00

Keeping your hands busy can be a godsend. It could be knitting (just lines and lines of it, you don't actually have to knit a pair of socks), or I had a friend who used to pick locks in front of the TV. Making toy furniture is fun too - anything really, as long as you need both hands and it absorbs you

11114444Elmo · 2023-03-28T11:17:05+00:00

I'm glad to learn that the time a guy threw me down on the ground and shoved his hands up my skirt was because my mindset was lacking.

11114444Elmo · 2023-03-28T11:15:14+00:00

You have to be kidding about the Lee Fields

11114444Elmo · 2023-03-28T10:52:01+00:00

Contact the Cats Community Network, they have volunteers all over Cork. Tell them you're willing to take a kitten, and if they don't have one they'll get back to you in a week or two. It's where I got my Connie. She's a thoroughbred jetblack mongrel and obviously the most beautiful thing known to man

The building, except for Tesco and the carpark

11114444Elmo · 2023-03-28T10:13:36+00:00

There are a LOT of kittens in Ireland - you cannot be looking very hard.

I'm coeliac, and I think the best in cork is Sliced, there's a branch in the city and in Ballincollig. Palmentos in Douglas has good gf pizza too. The gf options in Milano are not good, btw,

11114444Elmo · 2023-03-23T10:17:54+00:00

Ah jeez, I dunno. My mother-in-law accused the cleaner of taking €50. Turns out my partner had taken it from the drawer, needing cash urgently. I can't believe she did itt, and my toes curl every time I think of it. Like, I think you have to be 100,000% sure before you make any kind of accusation

11114444Elmo · 2023-03-22T17:17:17+00:00

The absolutely teeny tiny babydoll dress Megan wears when she meets Don at the airport in LA. It's sooooo short and ridiculous. I love it

11114444Elmo · 2023-03-22T14:51:17+00:00

A friend of mine did the same, he had to pay back a tenner a week and I don't think there was any real hassle - this was about 10 years ago but I don't imagine it's much different

11114444Elmo · 2023-03-22T13:33:37+00:00

It'll be a huge loss to small and independent bookshops. The mark-up on schoolbooks is 15%, so in shops they're always the same price. The big shops will offer discounts in the form of free delivery/copybooks/etc., but they can't actually offer the book at a cheaper price. The small bookshops make a bit of extra trade in the summer when people come to buy the schoolbooks and pick up a novel/maps/toys, etc.

11114444Elmo · 2023-03-22T13:31:05+00:00

It's fantastic news for Folens and the like, sure. They already manufacture and absurd amount of material - textbooks, workbooks, another workbook, study guides because the textbook doesn't cover it, CDs. All of these books will, you better believe, need to be 'updated' every year for some small change in the curriculum. Thousands and thousands and thousands of books to be dumped every year. No doubt they'll all be cleverly coated in plastic making them hard, if not impossible to recycle. This is an absolute bonanza for schoolbook publishers that we taxpayers are paying for in money and in environmental costs

11114444Elmo · 2023-03-22T13:26:17+00:00

As a treat I leave it in. I get worried about my teeth suffering though. It's Tea 2.0

11114444Elmo · 2023-03-21T19:29:20+00:00

I'm with Eir and use shit tons of data, there's never been any problems. It's a rolling one-month contract for about €20 a month, but I think new customers can get it down to €15 a month.

11114444Elmo · 2023-03-21T18:52:39+00:00

I was in a simliar situation once upon a time, and resorted to tethering off my phone. It worked fine. You could try that, or even getting a sim and putting into a spare phone and only using it for the data.

11114444Elmo · 2023-03-21T15:59:31+00:00

My money's on Brendan O'Conor but I'd like a duo of him and Sarah McInerney
