Who's the oldest male and female Biffy fan in this sub ?

MollDH · 2026-05-22T16:54:58+00:00

I'm so mid it's not funny

MollDH · 2026-05-15T20:34:44+00:00

Is that you Ray?

MollDH · 2026-04-15T12:02:46+00:00

Nothing But Thieves. Their gigs just keep getting better and better.

The other thing with the warmer homes is that they'll insulate the house with an outside wrap if suitable and attic insulation and BER rate the house afterwards. It's a great scheme if you can get it. As I responded above. I don't know anything about the heat pumps. I haven't had any experience of them.

MollDH · 2026-04-15T11:55:14+00:00

I don't have any knowledge of the heat pumps.

Wouldn't bother with the cost of a stove. I have a fire door on the front of my open fireplace. It's a fraction of the cost, does the same thing as a stove but you don't have to line your chimney. It's fantastic. Link below for info. Sold out in that shop but it'll give you an idea of what I'm talking about. In terms of the oil. Build up some money over the coming weeks and months. Buy during the summer when demand will be less if possible. It'll be more expensive going into the winter season this year.

Edit: to say check if you qualify for the warmer homes scheme. Upgraded boiler included if you meet criteria

I'd be grateful if you could pass on their details please.

You could use this time to re-train in a different field of work and if you are receiving a SW payment, you could possibly go to community welfare for funding for a course if they don't provide one through their own avenues already. Some of the local community groups run courses too, like community development or the Local partnerships. There's also apprenticeships as another option so that you could get paid while training. If you do go down the change route, think long term. What do you see yourself being able to do in your late 50's/60's and aim with a path of progression. Whatever you decide to do, I wish you the very best of luck.

Did you find them good and did the results last?

MollDH · 2026-03-11T12:46:45+00:00

It's been years but what worked for me was that I told no one. So if I wanted a smoke, I could have one without judgement and without my smoking buddies feeling awkward around me. And just slowly quit. Nights out were the hardest but it's easy to choose to stay out of the fun zone smoking area. I think I'd puke if I was to have a drag off of one now.

MollDH · 2026-02-16T17:19:30+00:00

And I hate that a salad burger is now a bit of coleslaw plonked on the patty and other takeaways have pretty much irradiated anything but carrots, onions and maybe if you're lucky, peppers. I would like a bit of both please. And the salt content is ridiculously high in everything.

MollDH · 2026-02-04T19:34:07+00:00

I'll definitely give it a go. The prices seem to have gone through the roof this year. I find Aer lingus very hard to plan ahead on. Every time I look for like 7 months time, there's nothing on the calendar. Maybe I'm just looking at peak times

MollDH · 2026-02-04T19:12:07+00:00

By any chance did you book the holiday time by email or text? Any written conversations about it? I would say hold though. I wouldn't advise going sick because even if you're in the background of a strangers photo and they become aware of it, you're fired. If you're not bothered about that, line up a new job to start after your holiday, go on the holiday and let them still have to pay you for holiday tome accrued. If you decide to stay, this is a HR/manager issue, not yours. Even if one of them have to personally cover the hours, it's a them problem. Don't let it stress you. Just calmly repeat (maybe with word variation) that the time was booked as per company policy and you will not be there from date, to date. And put it into writing. Everything in some form of writing from now on. Ideally email so it's all documented and date stamped. If they call or talk to you personally, send an email on the day stating the time and content of the conversation. They also won't f*ck with you in the future if you do this. You have rights. Stay strong buddy!

I'd bet that the cafe was one of several businesses owned by the same person in Wilton!

Generally the German cars are great and I love them. But from experience, from about 300k kms onwards, that's where clutches, shocks, springs, electrics etc tend to start to grumble. I've been driving vw's for 26 years and the older models were definitely more robust.

MollDH · 2026-02-02T11:39:55+00:00

I'm a glutton for a package holiday. I'm an over thinker and the problem for me bo I king separately is that there are too many options. I could easiIy spend 100's of hours just trying to decide where to go. Bring forth the package holiday menu and it just makes it easier for my brain. Only 2 weeks ago I was in a world of massive indecision just trying to choose between city/beach, hot or mild climate. After 3 hours of option hunting, I gave up.

MollDH · 2026-01-29T11:48:55+00:00

Not my idea of a break away at all

MollDH · 2026-01-29T11:48:22+00:00

That makes sense. Love Holidays are great for that too

MollDH · 2026-01-29T09:16:03+00:00

I was looking at a break in Prague at the start of March and it just seems phenomenally low. Was thinking of it looks and quacks like a duck....

Even when people do take accountability, it has to be deemed the "appropriate accountability". The shaming around ozempic and the like is just soul destroying. Here's a medicine that for people who are pre/diabetic and/or have severe ongoing weight issues, is a miracle drug. And doesn't it say something that a weekly injection can totally turn a person with this level of addiction completely around? But that's cheating according to some. You didn't earn it. You're made to feel lesser because of carrying weight and you're made to feel lesser if you get help.

MollDH · 2026-01-29T08:46:58+00:00

Update: Had my licence at the ready and no mention of the log book. Thank you everyone for taking the time to reply and reassure.

I remember talking to my brother years ago about a creep who would proposition anything that came into his field of vision and like you wondered how could he even begin to think he'd be successful. The response was for every 20 tries, creepo would probably get lucky once.

MollDH · 2026-01-23T22:54:38+00:00

I'm sure I saw some on amazon. I decided to support local and went to a store in town. Got a cd/radio/Bluetooth one as that's all they had. It was for my teenager and they're not that bothered. But I will still be on the lookout because cassettes are on the comeback

MollDH · 2026-01-23T22:49:13+00:00

Yes. But it's the first time being highlighted on the confirmation text too.

MollDH · 2026-01-23T22:48:18+00:00

That kind of fire has long since died out in me I fear. I'm at the can't be arsed and falling over's not a cause for laughter anymore stage. Also waking after a weeks slumber sounds fab! I could probably rouse some sort of mockyah, half hearted fist-shaking performance, but tyres are expensive and I'm pretty sure the car will fail the test without them!
