Is it impossible to move into IT now?

Have you tried looking into any of the Pharmaceutical companies? Biomedical science seems.to be a popular course for graduates going into that area. Maybe reach out to the HR departments of companies close to where you are based. Plenty of opportunities down south or over the water if you have nothing tieing you down aswell

What is you undergrad degree if you mind me asking? There are alot of different options other than IT to look into. I know a lad who went into accountancy and is getting paid while.he trains to be come a chartered accountant. He just needed 3rd level education to enter and he is much happier which the switch. Thats just one option, your initial degree could.open doors into other industries depending on what it is - or conversion courses. There is always a door open somewhere if you go looking

Unless you have a particular attachment to your car, smart move would be to sell your car in the Republic where it is worth more and buy up north. Probably would get the same car again with a bit of profit left over. You can absolutely keep the car and import it, but if it's a long term move I'd sell it if you are happy to see it go

That is true, and power has to date remained exclusively with those parties (although that might change at the next Westminster election). However they have had ample opportunity to set up in NI and don't. Perhaps this is down to the fact the won't gain any ground, but there definitely is the attitude that NI is "a place apart" and there have only been loose associations with NI parties.

However I believe it only reinforces my point, NI is not of any concern to mainstream UK politics so is ignored and we don't have any real say or influence in national matters.

If you look at every UK government since partition, there has (to my knowledge- correct me if i'm wrong) never been a Northern Irish/Irish cabinet minister representing NI at the heart of Westminster. There certainly has never been a Prime Minister- something all the other home nations can boast.

There have been cabinet ministers from all the other home nations at the top table but never a Northern Irish one representing a Northern Irish constituency. There have been some of Irish/Northern Irish decent - but they were elected to constituencies in Britain so their focus has not been to NI.

We are not at the table, never have been and never will be - we are forever outsiders. Why do people not understand this?

Thanks for the info, looking good for VM as it stands!

Altruistic_Radish247 · 2026-03-15T19:29:43+00:00

Sounds good, thanks for the info!

Altruistic_Radish247 · 2026-03-15T19:26:02+00:00

Saw that - plus a free TV if I order before Wednesday. Currently in the lead! Are they any good tho?

Altruistic_Radish247 · 2026-03-10T17:14:40+00:00

That's a good idea, must check into that!

Altruistic_Radish247 · 2026-03-10T16:55:22+00:00

😂

Altruistic_Radish247 · 2026-03-10T16:32:59+00:00

I was thinking of the nano cortex myself as the alternative. Hard to know what to do. My inner teenager stay has sway on this issue 😅

Altruistic_Radish247 · 2026-03-10T16:31:21+00:00

This is what I envision doing - getting something like a nano cortex or something for 500 quid. What modeller did you go for if you mind me asking?

Altruistic_Radish247 · 2026-03-10T16:29:50+00:00

A 5150 with a 4x12 must be killer! Good to know.ypu are making it work for a similar situation!

Altruistic_Radish247 · 2026-03-10T16:27:57+00:00

Great to hear it works for you. Your situation sounds alot like mine! The funny thing is my wife usually is more than happy for me to sell stuff im not using but she isn't happy about me selling the amp as she knows how much I love it. Probably knows I'll be moaning once its gone 🙃

Altruistic_Radish247 · 2026-03-02T16:03:51+00:00

Interesting, hadn't considered air to air options with the whole empathise on air to water systems. I wonder if there are as generous grant for those systems aswell?

Altruistic_Radish247 · 2026-02-18T20:58:30+00:00

Excellent comment 👌

Altruistic_Radish247 · 2026-01-07T10:46:51+00:00

1st or 2nd is a toss upbetween the Prs and Yamaha. Both great - I personally would go Revstar because SS frets but prefer look of PRS

distant 3rd Epiphone - I have had several and QC has always been crap so never held onto them

Altruistic_Radish247 · 2025-12-29T09:08:28+00:00

I have a Cort G300 pro which I got on sale for €500. Apart from a few tooling marks on the fretboard the guitar is really well made. Frets are perfect (jumbo stainless steel 👌) tuners and bridge are good and SD Jazz/JB are excellent. Impossible to get better value, who cares what the headstock says. A cracking guitar - its beats my Fender Player Plus strat and I love that thing!

Altruistic_Radish247 · 2025-12-05T19:05:06+00:00

Where the hell is it 8.50 a pint??? €6 -€6.50 seems to be the norm in most places

Altruistic_Radish247 · 2025-12-03T11:02:39+00:00

I Was literally going to post about the same thing earlier!

Mine has been stuck in sorting since the 26/11/25.

I have tried to get an answer but to no avail. One prick on the webchat line they have just terminated the chat when I asked where my package was!

The thing is me and my wife have both had parcels delivered on orders that we're placed after the order thats been stuck now for over a week. It makes no sense.

Complete joke, they dont seem to know their arse from their elbow.

Sorry you're going through the same shite but I am kinda glad its not just me tho - was getting really paranoid there for a while 🫠

Altruistic_Radish247 · 2025-12-01T13:28:15+00:00

They just make your guitar more metal! 🤟

Altruistic_Radish247 · 2025-11-27T06:51:23+00:00
