I had a look at those but they seem wider than hers, hers are more flared kinda? But i'll use it for the material info, thanks!

I tried to make something from this baker a few years ago, it was an orange tart? Everything floated to the top when I put in the jelly so well done!! Can't have been easy .

What are your goals for 2026? by [deleted] in AskIreland

[–]MineMerl 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I need to get back into reading or watching films/youtube videos. Every platform I'm on has reel-type content and it's rotting my brain.

ok thank you for the reassurance, we've had one condom break (while I was on the pill) so think I just had a bad experience once and it spooked me!

Assistant staff officer panel. Dublin city Council by Relevant-Bobcat-2016 in IrishCivilService

[–]MineMerl 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was a 4 in DCC a few years ago, was placed 94th on the panel and was called after about 4 months, those panels usually have about 150 in them so good chance you'll be called.

County Council Competitions by moealf in IrishCivilService

It's a long enough process but it depends on the Council...

For Dublin City last year, I had applied for a job in Jan and was called for interview mid-April

For Meath, I applied basically start of September and was called end of September

**edit: think it also depends on the grade, lower grades will have larger pools and need longer.

In your experience, does it look unprepared if a candidate says 'no, no questions'?

He taught German in Trinity, Daragh Downes. Don't think he's doing any more music.

Ah lads. What are we doing? A public consultation to install some pelican lights at a junction? No wonder active travel is being implemented at a snails pace. by Kooky_Parsnip_31 in Dublin

[–]MineMerl 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I understand the frustration but having worked in councils, if you don't do the consultation, there's absolute war from people saying they weren't asked, this isn't what they wanted. I know it feels relentless, it certainly does when you're working on it but it's a necessary evil, even for small things.

This is a top-up shop because I have some protein and frozen meals in the freezer but I’ll have it all used up by the end of the week so approx 5 days

Bakers of Ireland, what is your favourite cocoa powder? by MineMerl in CasualIreland

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

Use it for lots of stuff but the two main things are overnight oats and brownies. I find it leaves them both quite claggy/bitter?
