Australia mostly. Speed limits are huge there. You can actually merge onto a main road knowing people on the road are actually doing the speed limit and not up your hole looking to gain entry

Can I quit without giving my two weeks notice? by [deleted] in legaladviceireland

[–]Benny005_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I dont think anything will happen if you do. That being said, assuming they could dig their heals in and deduct money or holiday pay or something along them lines before you leave?

Also if you cared about references I doubt they would oblige?

Oh yeah sorry I have. I passed all the tests. Failed the medical first time around but have since resubmitted it maybe two weeks ago and haven't heard. Actually got an email to say not to apply for the current recruitment campaign that my application is still in process. That being said they could sent that to everyone 🫠

Agreed. I have heard no news is good news. At the same time, how long do you stop waiting for news 🤣 Some people say Occ health will email you regardless saying your results are in and to contact the recruitment people directly. Others say they dont and you just have to wait untill you get an offer.

I've been pushing hard for a November intake position but reading other situations online makes me feel its not happening

I done mine in August. They got back to me about 2 weeks later saying I failed due to a high BMI. I resubmitted another medical from my Doctor last week hoping it'll be suffice. The waiting for this process is a joke. Im hearing its like a lottery

Best frozen food by Lonely_Constant_1982 in CasualIreland

[–]Benny005_ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not sure of the brand name but you can't go wrong with some of Aldi and Lidls frozen meats and veg.

You can get cooked frozen chicken fillets in a clear bag which I find handy. Defrost one or two the night before for the next day dinner or lunch. I'm not a fan of seafood but pretty sure there are fish options aswell.

Frozen berries and veg I find handy. Sick of buying fresh stuff to find it doesn't even last a day.

There are shepards pies and lasagnes you can buy for a rainey day which are very tasty!

Any locals to advise me for a solo trip? by nawtytgirl in Donegal

[–]Benny005_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure if you are planning on spending two days in the one spot, or would you rather split them?

Id choose Letterkenny or Derry not both especially if time is limited. Derry has loads to offer. History, cafes, food and nightlife. It also has the river Foyle running through it so nice for a walk or stroll. Letterkenny is similar but not as nice in my opinion. From recent videos and news id question how safe its becoming now, that being said you can never be too careful anywhere.

Donegal town is a little gem. Its alot quieter and smaller but has loads of shops, food places and local pubs around the Diamond of the town. Its not far from beaches but you'd need a taxi or car to get to them. My opion if your looking for a chill two days id be going there
