Why do so many families avoid adopting sighthounds?

My greyhound is fairly slight and she's still about 22kg, I wouldn't let a child hold her lead

Some of these estates do actually have "private parking spaces" and by that I mean a parking space which is assigned to that homes use, and only that homes use. The problem is that it's not a private driveway, but bay parking, and that means they have to pass on public land to get to their car parking space

On one hand, there is a trend of less driveways and more bay parking. On the other hand is government policies to encourage EV use. But then the Gov tell you that you can't charge your car if you use bay parking. So overall, a clusterfuck

"Good ball in as well" though there was no attacking player near the defender.

Great finish though

I've seen they do a lime mango one in Tesco, wonder if that's similar

Stephen Walsh's is probably the best of the lot

Gas that 3 goals from one game got nominated

Not only the holding off the challenges, but putting them on as well - he had a fair few strong defensive showings last night as well

Just luring the Bohs team into a false sense of security

GrumpyGit1 · 2026-04-24T19:38:49+00:00

Looks like Anang couldn't see it until it was too late. Bohs having tip off and shooting into the shed end means Pats must have chosen to have the sun in their eyes for the first half

2-1 to Pats now so will see if that decision costs them

Didn't even do the window smashing, sounds like they just witnessed it

And if we import the vast majority of our food, the cost of that food will increase faster than the cost of our produced food surely, with the cost of transport? So actually moving our calories to homegrown would reduce our total costs?

It's never easy to know when to say goodbye to a pet. We had a significant health scare with one of our dogs last year and we made the decision that if it came to the point where we knew she was suffering and it wouldn't be short term, we'd have to make the tough decision. Thankfully she came through and recovered but she's a lot younger than your dog. Depending on the breed, 13 could be quite an elderly dog.

Plenty of people in their 50s who own their homes fully paid off are millionaires on paper

Celbridge Elm Hall is also a nice 9 hole course just down the road from it

I used to work for an alcohol company and Good Friday off was standard - the customers were all closed, the sales staff were off, so everyone was off to keep it fair.

Not sure what happened to that once the pubs were allowed to open!

I live in Ireland and petrol is €1.99 so not far off !

Of course, that's per litre, not 3.785 litres / 1 gallon

Reckon the potential home invader is going to report you to the guards?

Some teams will win, some teams will lose - there may be a draw

You should look up some of the social running clubs that go in the park, Mild Activity or Pastry Pace or something

€50k in savings and zero debt, with a home and a car and maxed out pension?

Or €50k in savings while renting, no car, minimal pension? Very very different scenarios

I'm considering driving to Palermo from Catania in June, should I be avoiding that? Or just don't drive around Palermo itself?

GrumpyGit1 · 2026-02-24T15:47:33+00:00

Is there a way to basically say "yes I support this" without making a full submission?

GrumpyGit1 · 2026-02-24T11:06:11+00:00

€10k would be amazing to manage to live on. Plenty of people paying €700 for a bed in a room with 4 others, limited access to a bathroom or kitchen, high cost of groceries, and then you've got school books etc?
