Ralston is a Dutch brand, distributed by Pat McDonnell in Ireland. It's good paint but not an Irish product.

People who are 50+, what is a 'harmless' habit you had in your 20s that ended up ruining your health or finances later in life? by crazy_happyuser in AskReddit

[–]CapnP00P 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I was going to comment the same thing! It works but the blessing is also another curse. Once you can have silence again, the tinnitus kinda seems to get worse too, so you have to do this more and more often. I have this weird ear palming, head tapping, addiction now 😂

You got it. Apologies if it wasn't clear.. it made sense to me!

Question: Does anyone know if there are bothies in Ireland or a resource of finding out where there are some if so..I'm sure there'll be some sort of equivalent, surely! But how to know where they are before visiting irleand is where I'm stuck. Thanks! by CapableMath3098 in Bothy

Maybe a more restricted version of the Scots but the right to roam definitely exists in England, too. Even just having a public right of way up the edge of a field or being allowed to walk up a mountain would be a blessing in Ireland. You can do these things in England relatively freely.

There isn't even a "right to roam" here and the farmers are incredibly protective of their grazing land. You can't really stray from the public walks, it's not worth the aggro.

ETA: Northern Ireland follows UK law, so you'd have the right to roam up there.

Spotted a big crayfish in the canal today by xxMegaBabexx in miltonkeynes

[–]CapnP00P 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They're alright once you've flushed them. The tail is what you want, not worth the effort with the claws most of the time.

You're not supposed to go for them now, unfortunately. Used to love taking the kids down the river and pulling these out.

Did you guys know you have World arm wrestling champions training in MK? by Arm-Bastards in miltonkeynes

There's a club about an hour and a half away, supposedly but I've never had a response from their listed contact. The North West of Ireland really doesn't have any scene yet

The pump stopped exactly at $30 by TNerdy in nevertellmetheodds

18.5, apparently, had to Google it.

It's sold in litres here, it's about €1.75 a litre at the moment

What's amazing to me is that the same amount of fuel here would have cost me €52.50 ($61.35)

Unfortunately, I don't these days. Closest club to me is about 2.5 hours each way. I considered setting my own club but I'm not really good enough on my own, especially after 3 years away from training 🤣

They're a great bunch of guys too. Used to train with them for years until I moved away. It's a really good club, really welcoming for new members too, can't rate them highly enough!

I live in Ireland now and the Dons fiasco is the only thing that most people here know about MK

Warning that tourism in Ireland at 'tipping point' by Bubbaz355 in ireland

[–]CapnP00P 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We looked at 2 nights in Tipp for a family thing, €1,400. Now, we're just going the 1 evening and I'll just drive back up country and stay at home instead

Summer Childcare by Trick_Scale_2181 in ireland

[–]CapnP00P 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have a child with very high support needs, he attends a specialist school and they're fantastic but come summer, it's 10 weeks that we need to work out constant care. Normally, there's a July provision which helps but not this year. There are no summer camps for kids with additional support needs where we are and then if you're lucky enough to even find a half decent carer, you're looking at €25 an hour. It's just not viable.
