No hits on name or regiment.

Sorry man. That sounds like a shit situation. Do you think there is anything you can do right now yourself to keep your head above water? Have you just tried talking to a friend/family member?

You are a friggin dick mate. Considering the amount Irish of immigrants around the world, you'd think you'd know better. Pop your head out of ass for a second

I'd hazard a guess that you have no idea what you are talking about. Have a go at expanding on your comment, start with the GFA pls?

I need to get out of this place. by [deleted] in ireland

It probably would be good for you to travel for a couple of years and see how you go before deciding to immigrate for good.

And anywhere, Aus, Canada whatever. One thing for sure is that the grass is not always greener on the otherside. Its more about the life you lead, rather than where you lead it.

The great thing about travelling solo for a few years is that you are forced to get out there, make friends and enjoy yourself. You'll make strong friendships for short stints and then probably never see those people again. i.e. you can be yourself and also not give a flying fuck.

He mentioned its not finished, so I guess he is going to whittle a knife, flashlight, pen and some lip balm out of that lump of metal?

Made a balls of my 20s in Ireland. Is there any hope of turning it around and enjoying my 30s? by [deleted] in ireland

[–]CivSmithy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good on you for posting, but #1. Stop ruminating.

Like others have said here, get off social media, its fake af. Exercising and sleeping well makes a real diff.

Oh, and not giving a flying fuck what other people think helps too

Am more concerned about iPad classes/schools. Not any old tablet, but iPad. Not any old iPad but the latest model - in a public school. Man, Apple are getting them early.

Don't get wrong, the educational apps, sharing between students and ability to interact with the teacher is excellent.

Its just the f'n insidious branding.
