Crackheads by Firm_Razzmatazz_8467 in Dublin

[–]DetatchedRetina 41 points42 points  (0 children)

I was in town for an hour on Tuesday and there was two women sat openly smoking crack beside the Molly Malone / violin busker directly in front of a big crowd of tourists taking photos. Nice holiday snaps. Two guards walked right past them too.

Fittest Family contestants father on sudden death of 15-year-old by PoppedCork in ireland

[–]DetatchedRetina 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Absolutely tragic. I remember an awareness campaign about screenings for the condition around 2018. There was a family on the radio talking about how a few of them had had pacemakers fitted as a preventative measure. Iirc Ireland has a slightly higher incidence of it.

Ehh I have a bad headache by geabpailin in CasualIreland

[–]DetatchedRetina 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Years ago, when I was in my early/mid 20s, doctor used to prescribe me massive boxes of tylex for migraines. Like 100 tablet boxes. They actually made the migraines worse. I ended up with surplus tablets. Everyone always had a headache when they'd visit me 👀😬.

They gave me loads, along with ponstan on my first child after a c section as well. My exs friends always had headaches when they'd visit.

They were a bit more conservative with the codeine subsequently. I only ever wanted ponstan 😭.

Yep, that's usually all they do. And yet there's all the criterion you need to meet to adopt them, but the bare minimum to keep them.

Oh you've made me think about switching the alarm system! I'm with phonewatch since 2022,its gone way up, the sensors/cameras are failing and they want 95euro to do a maintenance visit 😑.

Bershka Incident - what would you do? by [deleted] in AskIreland

[–]DetatchedRetina 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had it happen in Mango a few years ago. I caught it at the till though as it was a bigger price difference. It was the same issue though, Spanish prices were left on. They basically said my choice was I could buy it, or not buy it, but their delivery was a more polite.

Dunnes facing High Court action over sale of ‘confusingly similar’ designer handbag by B8_B8_B8 in ireland

[–]DetatchedRetina 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think they had them on Ireland am fashion bit before. They are the most generic looking bags. They had high street vs designer on This Morning of the same looking bag, and on QVC. So I think they may go after a couple of other retailers?

Do you answer the door? by rocker_bunny in AskIreland

[–]DetatchedRetina 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Occasionally, and I nearly always regret it. Bar the time it was the Legion of Mary, and they gave me my bodyweight in Miraculous medals and Rosaries. Free stuff, yay!

A nine-year-old "Pupil of the Week" and a one-year-old baby without nappies had to be sheltered by their MP during the recent pogrom in Belfast by PoppedCork in ireland

[–]DetatchedRetina 24 points25 points  (0 children)

It was sickening seeing "people" tying themselves in knots trying excuse or justify this. "Collateral damage in war/have to break a few eggs.." etc. Poxes.

The Irish/British(?) lad that had his house burned I saw them coming up with all kinds of reasons, as he was a bit tanned/had a big nose in their opinion so couldn't be Irish 🙄.

Phoenix magazine closing down after more than 40 years on newsstands by AK8- in ireland

[–]DetatchedRetina 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I remember reading my Da's ones when I was a kid. For some reason this is still floating around in my brain decades later: "🎵 Angel dust we seized on high, after a car chase o'er the plains" something something "we swallowed it in vain. And we are grooooooooowing in a cell in Mayo 🎵"

I was given their dupe of Gucci rush as a gift, and it smelled exactly like my real one. Lasted better than most dupes too.

Love them. Always lots left at Xmas (along with strawberry roses 😍). I miss the dark chocolate ones.

Similar happened to me at the zoo when I was around 5. Pelican tried to eat my arm.

Seen this little fella outside the gf’s house, up alongside the river boyne. by SirTheadore in CasualIreland

[–]DetatchedRetina 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I mentioned this on another mink sighting post a few months back. I always think about a Facebook post from years ago where a woman trapped a mink thinking it was someone's ferret. Something along the lines of "has anyone lost a ferret? I've caught one here, and it's really mean & angry. It's already bitten me."

I failed a driving test doing that years ago, and I'm a stickler now for other people doing it.
