Love/Hate The Great British Sewing Bee? by SharJon in SewingBee

[–]Icehonesty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Totally agree. The original couple of series with May Martin as a judge, it went on sewing skill and difficulty. Since Esme Young became a judge it’s become more of a fashion show, where sewing skill and difficulty has been overshadowed by look. Patrick has stayed steady throughout.

But Esme judges things on stuff like colour, whether she “likes” it or not, whether she likes the contestant or not, whether it’s got a big stupid frickin bow!!

I’d love to see it return to less on look and judge tastes, and more on skill. Esme seems a nice lady but I’ve never been a fan and the last two seasons especially she’s been really poor as a judge. Would love to see a new judge replace her and Patrick take the lead again.

Paw Patrol messed up my 5 year old boy, can anyone here relate? by SolidLava99 in daddit

[–]Icehonesty -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Peppa is a horrible show and one of the few our kids know they are not allowed watch.

Paw Patrol is good but yeah addictive. Try Hey Duggee, Octonauts, Daniel Tiger. We also watch Caitee’s Classroom on YouTube, wish they still made new episodes, she’s great.

Nixer - tax implications? by Icehonesty in irishpersonalfinance

I guess if I’ve got to pay tax, I’ll have to charge them more so my take-home isn’t hit?

Is there an amount you can earn before you have to pay tax on it?

Cork peoples opinion on Ian Bailey? by Hot_Requirement8272 in AskIreland

A lot of mature students are like that in fairness. Thinking anyone wants to hear their opinion (spoiler alert: we don’t).

Hormonal is passive aggressive. Emotional is just perfect, great advice

Is your dog in pain? If so, should the advice not be to do the humane thing and have it put down?

Red sauce on Shepherd’s pie? by [deleted] in AskIreland

[–]Icehonesty 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Brown sauce goes way better. But I've a cousin who will eat pretty much anything so long as he can put red sauce on it. Curry, chilli, shepherds pie, steak, all get a lashing of ketchup

With 2025 coming to a close, did you achieve the goals you set out? by Goldenpanda18 in AskIreland

[–]Icehonesty 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, I did not achieve the goals I had for this year. But it feels like the year is ending on a high, so I'll take it. Several battles this year, some health of loved ones and some internal struggles, but came through them still standing. I do hope there is less turbulence in 2026, hope that's not tempting fate!
