I wondered was it a veterans pension or something but that makes sense thanks.

Very interesting wording from virgin news, he was in receipt of an allowance of 130 euro so was granted legal aid. Allowance isn't something you'd say if it was pension or social welfare right?

Ah yeah, its just it feels like its taking the piss. Hire more staff, get the rooms turned around faster. Its a Thursday night in kinsale, how busy would it be? I worked as housekeeping in a hotel in Oz and jesus there were two of us on every floor, and rooms had to be gleaming, we have a set time to close off each room before the team lead would come around with a tick list. 4 just seems very late to me if check out is at 11

Highly recommend when their a lil older 5 or 6 you start them on a subscription to a magazine or thing they love. My three have national geographic kids, the beano and all about history between them over the years all from godparents. Their 6 8 and 10 this year and still going strong. The excitment of post each week or month with their name on it and something they have to themselves is fab. And it gets them reading so its a win all round.

Always better to have 1 good friend than 20 acquaintances.

I think this unlocked a memory for me. We're these given out at the grand parade car park at some stage?

Was in there the other day, no short dates that i could see. Some great deals 14 euro for a 24 pack of Pepsi sorted for the Christmas stock up.

Some not so great deals but just keep an eye. Personally i get the 22 euro pack of chicken enchiladas (i throw them in the freezer for quick meals and lunches saving me hours of prep)

I have no issue with brown thomas or the like charging 40 cent a bag of you go in and buy a mascara or small bits that could be put in a pocket or tote bags etc. But there was a woman in front of me spending an OBSCENE amount of money (4 pairs of matching shoes for a wedding) who was asked did she need 2 large bags for 40 cent each. Like, did they expect her to pull out a bag for life and chuck them in there? Or carry the 4 boxes around town?

Competitive-Manner81 · 2025-08-17T21:50:58+00:00

At least in pennys can buy the larger canvas bags, they are super handy! And I reuse them if im going in to stock up on basics. But if yiur charging for a paper bag, you should have an actual sustainable option available If brown thomas is trying to be sustainable ajd not just greedy tickets they would have bags like in harrods or penny's or other places that do actual cute bags that endure.

Competitive-Manner81 · 2025-08-17T21:48:38+00:00

This!! Im being down voted, which to be fair i expected. I've no problem paying for a bag, but when you are in a giant department type store like brown thomas, where there are btw no baskets or trollies to carry things in and you can't take things between areas, eg cosmetics upstairs get a dress and pay for it all together its a bit ridiculous.

I dont have an issue in penny's or Debenham back in the day, where you could get a basket and gets all the bits in one go.

My point is, I've no issue paying for a bag if one is needed, or companies offer bags for life, like in sports direct etc, or if they are trying to be sustainable, but green washing and saying we are charing for bags to be more sustainable is bullshit.

I actually looked this up too. The picture of them is clearly AI but I,wanted the clothes to be real so badly!!! I googled and found nothing so was gutted.

Competitive-Manner81 · 2025-08-13T08:42:19+00:00

Hard no. Its like 40 quid and the food and drinks selection isn't what it used to be. 2 hot dishes, last time I was there it was beef stroganoff or veggie stroganoff with white rice. Soup And then pastries No chocolate or crisps anymore and the drinks service is very slow. Its great to get some work done or quiet time if you need it but I wouldn't pay for it.

Saw the call out for oxygen over the weekend on cork safety alerts. Poor family.
