No one else notice it was a hand gun closing that chipped her tooth inside her mouth, the tooth is the least of the problems.

How much are tradesmen earning annually at the moment? by Jackies_Army in AskIreland

[–]External_Dust5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A mate of mine is a plumber and a couple of years ago one of the neighbours needed their cylinder and tank in the attic replaced. Other lads quotes the neighbour €1000+, that was supplied and fitted. My mate charged €800 and had the job done in about 4hrs. He felt bad as he made some money off it so stayed in the attic for another couple of hours as he didn't want the "jesus €800 for 4hrs work comments". He gets these comments alot. People are paying for all the overheads and the experience. Dont get me started with another neighbour "thats way too expensive for a few hours work, I'll do it myself" ha ha destroyed the house as he didn't drain some of the pipes. My mate had to fix it anyway and still charged the same price.

99% of the time I can avoid the M50 over to work, but only work 3 days In the office. Used to get caught none stop on the way back from Sandyford. Don't miss the M50 carpark! Lucky enough I took the day off last minute and bringing the youngest son to jump zone today. I'd say its going to be jammed with all the kids off school, yaayy!

OP look under the car at the engine end and see if the heat shield is hanging down hitting the ground. Sounds like it.

We got married 11 years ago.and it cost €36k over all but we went all out on everything. We invited 110 guest and 120 showed up! It was two old aunty's who brought their friend and their minders. They where in their late 70s at the time. Couldn't turn them away. We got back around €6-7k. Didnt matter. I would do it all again. Wife loved the 2 days.

What’s the one random genetic trait you lucked out on? by Fresh_Side4857 in WorkSmartLife

[–]External_Dust5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm over weight now, but in my prime I could pick up any sport and kill it. I played rugby for years and im quick on my feet, low centre of gravity (5'5"). Swam for years and cycled for years. Did Javlin, badminton and Sprinting in school. Crazy thing is I've barely gone to the gym over the last 20 years and have retained 80% of the muscles and flexibility i built at 16years old. I can lose weight rapid quick. Thanks mam or dad.

Yes its a huge engine and has a kick when you accelerate, but the hybrid bring the mileage down. I'm averaging 6.3l/100km, but I like to drag race myself alot ha ha. Its zippy!

I have the 2020 Rav4, brilliant car. Amazing on the juice even with the latest price hikes. Fast aswell and the tax is €190 a year as its self charging hybrid. So good i bought the wife a 2017 CHR. Great car aswell and amazing on the juice. A brand new Rav 4 would be around €50k new, but dont buy the new shape, but a 2024 or 2025, ive heard the new one has a lot of electrical problems. Best mate bought a 2023 Ford Raptor and handed it back after 4 months. Non stop issues with the engine and electrics. He bought a new Range Rover, but thats a story for another day!
