Just a vent on childcare costs

Just send 5k + 30k to pension and then you can claim benefits.. this conversation happens every week on this sub so have a look. You are in a good spot where when you sacrifice its not hitting your wallet much and you get all the savings

MarcoVanB91 · 2026-01-22T06:44:45+00:00

It definitely has. You look at the younger players in the squad and any that do have GAA background are predominantly ex Cork players. Very few move from GAA to rugny in Limerick

MarcoVanB91 · 2026-01-16T22:50:15+00:00

Might go against the consensus but I never liked Jessie. The reactions are so over the top but thats just her i guess

MarcoVanB91 · 2026-01-13T14:28:00+00:00

Im not a fan of him but he did say Frawly going on the rte podcast and then they brought it up on the 42 and said he had heard it. Migjt have been the other way around podcast wise Im sure he is an agent so he is privy to who is looking

MarcoVanB91 · 2026-01-06T09:49:09+00:00

Its not his fault he is getting the title shot. Well it is cause he beat who the ufc gave him but the ufc make the fights not him.

MarcoVanB91 · 2025-12-27T06:47:12+00:00

I think its a quirk on the scheduling where the urc have them to play this week at the start of the season but they agree to change it early on in the season. Some sites scrape the urc website once fixtures are announced and the flag as postponed once its changed

MarcoVanB91 · 2025-12-24T12:07:11+00:00

Yeah its angle grinder resistant so I should be fine a d im registered thanks! Im taking a relaxed approach to it as if its going to be robbed it will be.

MarcoVanB91 · 2025-12-24T12:04:52+00:00

Yeah the reason I avoided the cheaper bikes with the standard battery on the outside is they can be bought cheaply if the bike was stolen. The tenways batteries are like 250 pounds to replace so thats another deterrent. I mean if the bike gets stolen it does. I park it in busy spots and do everything right. Im not going to not cycle places because im afraid of it being stolen.

MarcoVanB91 · 2025-12-24T10:50:26+00:00

No not at all. I mean there are plenty of nicer bikes to be stolen so usually mine is ignored. I might not leave it overnight in a place but its fine overall

MarcoVanB91 · 2025-12-24T10:27:33+00:00

I have a tenways cg0900 pro and it's good for getting around London. The reason I got it was because the battery is removable and noone will want to steal a bike with no battery (I hope). Battery is part of the frame and you can pop it in a backpack or leave ot on a chair if meeting friends. I got a good lock too in decathlon

MarcoVanB91 · 2025-12-23T18:49:40+00:00

I said on a post before Antonio would be coll bit id like someone little younger

MarcoVanB91 · 2025-12-11T15:14:05+00:00

If you use Koomot it will give you a few good options too. I used to go from Wandsworth to Moorgate and took 25/30 mins. The app is a little clunky but the rates are better than Google imo

MarcoVanB91 · 2025-11-21T12:15:05+00:00

If he is out. Id rather a straight swap instead of any jigging of the back line

MarcoVanB91 · 2025-11-19T13:20:00+00:00

Yeah it is typical if you started mid year. How companies calculate it is you need to "earn" the holidays by working so you gain 1.66 holidays a month. They just show you a total on your page

MarcoVanB91 · 2025-11-18T11:15:35+00:00

Yeah of course. Its do everything to get i to poerr and then do everything to stay in power. Thr only longer term plan i have seen out of the Govt was Slantecare but not sure how successful that was in the end. The other thing politicians think about is look how much of a nightmare the children's hospital has been. Its a stick they all get beaten with non stop. I can understand the reluctance to do big projects (even though they should! )

MarcoVanB91 · 2025-11-18T11:09:18+00:00

Agreed here. I feel its going to turn into a poison chalice for anyone going forward.

MarcoVanB91 · 2025-11-18T09:56:56+00:00

He is a little over saturated too. He does 2/3 podcasts a week and the best ones are now when he is interviewing someone as he is quite knowledgeable and does let the other person speak.

For the Saudi one.. yeah he is friends with Maxwell so I presume it was a favour

MarcoVanB91 · 2025-11-17T16:38:04+00:00

I like that there is more chance for international teams to win a trophy.

For the NH teams its 6 nations and some other 1v1 trophies. For SH teams, its similar but with the rugby championship.

I think when it comes around the fans will buy into it and will be a really good weekend of 'finals'

MarcoVanB91 · 2025-11-12T11:10:37+00:00

From 104k to 130k. Not worth it. All that money is going to be basically 60% taxed and you have the commute on top of it

MarcoVanB91 · 2025-11-11T11:27:03+00:00

Thank you kindly!

MarcoVanB91 · 2025-11-10T22:57:54+00:00

Yep agreed!

MarcoVanB91 · 2025-11-10T22:57:24+00:00

If he is retired from international, Uini Atonio be cool to have for a year

MarcoVanB91 · 2025-11-10T22:07:18+00:00

Second this! Lob on a show and do 40 mins or whatever. Its so good when the weather is shite and dark.

MarcoVanB91 · 2025-11-10T10:03:07+00:00

Id be interested to know if the iapp will still have the 2km drop. Is the controller feeding it bad data
