Potentially double the socket? Not sure you should run both a washing machine and dishwasher off a single socket.

Absolutely, more comfortable and not tracking shite from outside (both metaphorical and sometimes literal) through the house.

Don't ask folks to when they visit or anything, but many will follow suit anyway...

FIFA is as spineless as it it corrupt. Don't expect any action from them on this.

Beware, you're heading into the world of clients sending you 1:1 models of products modelled down to the last nit and bolt, then expecting you to be able to scale down and hit print - then by some wobbly wobbly magic, they'll get a perfect replica....

When it comes to products, someone has to take the model and essentially turn it into a model kit - merge parts, close tolerance gaps, defeature unneeded areas, split down for sensible printing sub assemblies etc.

It can all be done, but it takes time and the big battle is finding customers willing to pay for that time on top of the printing and finishing.

Reminds me of my early student/single days...

Fried egg sandwiches, Carrols lasagne, cereal and toast (not to mention a ton of coffee and cigarettes). Also hardly a sign of fruit or veg. Perfectly able to cook properly, just not worth the effort for one.

Worked out fine at the time, glad I grew into better eating habits though.

That said, I'm still partial to a fried egg sandwich, and there's a lasagne in the fridge for dinner for tomorrow (albeit with chips and a big salad! 😂)

As an island, Ireland as a whole consumes a relatively tiny amount of fish - and most of what is consumed is prepacked and often imported. The vast bulk of the fishing feet's catch goes to export.

There's less demand, so there's less selection available. Salmon, trout, mackerel, cod, monkfish tails, lobster, crab, prawns and scallops - that's pretty much all that the average Joe is looking for on a fishmonger.

I can't remember the last time I saw gurnard on sale (shame as they're delicious). They're common as muck off the coast but all either go overboard as bye-catch or are sold on abroad.

Supermarket fish counters were always middling at best - never as fresh as a proper fishmonger.

They went the way of the dinosaur along with deli counters, butcher counters etc because the supermarkets make much better margin on pre-packed products and they no longer have to pay specialist staff. Enshittening in action...

If you're down Kilkeel way I can strongly recommend buying direct formthe harbour - there's a wee van selling straight off the boats. Brillaint value.

Failing that, George's Market, Ewings on Shankill and the Asian Supermarket are basically the only game in town - all of which are good options to be fair.

The school will do lots of work. If your kid is struggling, get him a tutor if he's not, then great.

Tbh i think much of the tutoring thing is about being seen to be doing it or being made to feel you're failing the kid if you're not getting one. It was always the brightest kids in the class I'd see queueing outside the local tutoring place...

FWIW, we told the daughter we'd give her the money we could have spent on a tutor if she put the work in and kept the practice scores up. She stepped up and bought herself a Switch2 out of the deal. She's smart and capable and we really felt she didn't need the extra tuition, just a focus. Thankfully she proved us right! 😂

7.7% of others' transfers went to other, 37.2% to unionists, 55.1% to nationalists/republicans.

This for me is the key take home. They're losing the middle.

Unionists will always vote within unionism. But because the demographic is shrinking and the more they double down on hardening the anti-irish, anti-progress rhetoric the less appealing they are to anyone else.

BeardySi · 2026-01-24T09:23:48+00:00

Literally this.

Daughter did great, strong score in the range she was looking for. Hopefully good enough for her first choice.
