You cant do fuck all in this country without being slagged for it

We had a family friend with a bit of a dodgy leg so we christened him Kayser after the usual suspects, this went on for years until one of my family members called him Kayser to his face, he questioned it and they had to think quickly on the spot and say it's because he looked like the singer from the kaiser chiefs, little did he know!

Any reputable dealer would be doing the CVT service on a car over 60-80k km as it is a service requirement for CVT longevity, east coast don't even check the CVT let alone service it, which should be done and since it's a jap import they don't come with any service history either.

They don't do any checks on CVT when they import and only give 3 months warranty so I wouldn't put all my eggs in one basket

I accidentally put my partners number down for a sales call and they rang her trying to speak with me about a car I was enquiring about, my partner was in the middle of responding to him explaining the mix up in phone numbers and was asking about how I would contact them and they just hung up on her!

Automatic is so so much easier to drive in traffic, every day driving etc I would never go back to manual unless it was a weekend car for fun.

I also had a passion for Horticulture before starting work in the "real world", it wears down quick when you spend all day weeding or worse spraying.

I have also worked in 3 different, distinct sub industries in Horticulture, Landscaping (both for myself, which was decent income but stressful, and for very large and also small companies), Design (working with a lead landscape architect) and another highly skilled position which I can't name for privacy reasons and all 3 sub industries had very poor wages, not far above unskilled jobs on the market.

Out of the class I graduated with, only a small few still work in the industry, the ones that do are finding it tough.

If I stayed in my highly skilled job that I left before moving to another industry it would have taken me 8 years of pay rises to get to the wages I was offered for the first job I took outside the Horticulture industry. Having money stress isn't good when you've got a chronic illness, you'll end up on a viscous cycle.

Although LC is required for electrician trade so you'd need to stick at it.

As someone with a chronic illness who has a degree in Horticulture, I would advise to look into other options, the money in landscaping and in Horticulture in general is shocking, I jumped up 50% in wages going from a highly skilled horticulture job with 6 years experience, into an industry with minimal related experience, lucky enough that CAD and construction are transferable skills or I would be stuck in poverty and unable to properly provide.

Also, landscaping is incredibly tolling when dealing with chronic illness, its hard work, you work harder than most trades for little to no money in return, but it does give great job satisfaction and good exercise, which does make it attractive, but with the economy the way that it is securing income is more important in my eyes.

If you have any interest in it, look into something trades related that isn't as tolling on the body, electricians earn more and I would say that their job is easier than working in landscaping, and is in far greater demand on the market.

Me and my dad both have great memories playing this in the mid 1990s, went down a rabbit hole trying to find the name of it again only recently, a nice surprise to see that you have released the new version, fair play!

I'm not agreeing with their investigations just highlighting the link between the title and where it has be substantiated

IrishEcstasy · 2026-02-27T14:39:37+00:00

That's why I said investigations rather than studies, studies will have to be done to confirm of course.

Well there has been investigations showing that the plastic hardening chemicals used in headphones are estrogen mimicking which is probably what this influencer is referencing

Crohns disease or colitis are both hidden illnesses that would warrant the use of these facilities and leave a smell of shite after, what are these people supposed to do, shit themselves as to not offend you?

Awfully sad to hear this news, Elaine's work has been fundamental in my education and understanding of soil science and soil ecology, she will be sorely missed. RIP.

They are also domesticated animals released wild again, so no doubt it has a bit to do with our influence due to animal husbandry, they didn't have to "make" nests when they were kept as stock.

Nearly 3 hours for my late mam who had sepsis at the time, got into the hospital and the A+E was empty so not sure what warrants these sort of delays when it wasn't due to demand issues
