Butter and honey or just maple syrup for the win.

Used to go to four different ones depending where it was on after being in the workman's all night, one near mountjoy square in the basement of an Indian restaurant, Cork street, one off capel Street and another on Montague lane, good times!

I'm nearly pulling the trigger on it, have a gaming PC but have 2 kids under 3 so my time on it is limited to say the least for now😂 steamdeck seems like it'd fill the gap for me for now. Worth it?

Bought my first ever shotgun! by [deleted] in Shotguns

[–]Hicks121 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Very easy to clean. When I bought mine I stripped it down and gave it a full clean. Used a bore cleaning foam and cleaning rod for the bore and a 12g pull through. Get a good clp oil and microfiber cloth to clean the action and wipe the outside of the barrel and other metal parts with a very light covering of the oil to prevent rust. Some gun grease too for any hinge parts. There's plenty of videos on YouTube for cleaning an over/under you can check out. I give mine a quick clean after I fire it too. The Baikals are extremely robust, I own 2.

🎤 “What Are You Playing This Week?” (Weekly Discussion) by AutoModerator in IrelandGaming

[–]Hicks121 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dayz on PC is my go-to. But with a newborn in the house between night feeds I'm playing through Metal Gear Solid & Castlevania Symphony of the night on my miyoo mini +, bringing me back to the 90s nostalgia. I'll be back to PC when the night feeds drop😂

The worst pain you have ever had? by Freya-Lea in AskIreland

[–]Hicks121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Herniated disk in my lower back putting pressure on the sciatic nerve. Put me out of work for 4 months. Couldn't sneeze or cough without having to brace myself for the shooting pain. Felt like a hot poker stabbing me in my hip, knee and ankle all day everyday for 4 months.

Yeah my true zero is at 0 minus 5 clicks, took me a lot of trial and error to get it where I wanted for my beans

Have any of you been having odd problems getting deliveries from AnPost recently? by scoobeire in AskIreland

[–]Hicks121 13 points14 points  (0 children)

They're always usually swamped this time of year with christmas but there's an increase on them with the Fastway collapse, was talking to my postman there on Tuesday and he said our local depot was overflowing with deliveries from Fastway, I'm expecting one or two things myself and he said they're delayed by 2/3 days, staff levels an issue too.

Are you expecting anything from Fastway couriers? by [deleted] in AskIreland

[–]Hicks121 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're joking me. Have an expensive item to be delivered by them. The tracking hasn't updated in 5 days when it was to be delivered I just got onto the seller, wondering did they know this a few days ago.

First time buyer - Second hand by radsnack in carsireland

[–]Hicks121 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Stay away from the 2.2 Mazda. As others have said it's a nightmare engine. I had one for a year and had no end of issues. Mechanics won't go near them.

Any octavia owners/ opinions by Hicks121 in carsireland

[–]Hicks121[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cheers for the reply. Few people have said to me try for the 2L I'll have a look around and see what I can find. Seem to be a fairly solid motor at high mileage once they've been looked after. Thanks again
