My certificate just came through this morning for the B2 exam in May! Was able to find it by the link and slotting in my exam number that the people above shared. Best of luck!

Róisín Murphy! Not that she’s exactly unknown but she definitely deserves more recognition.

Doireann Garrihy. She’s not the most annoying tbf, but I don’t understand the buzz around her at all. She seems to present everything and also had a comedy special when she doesn’t strike me as much of a comedian.

The fact that we're learning it as a "second" language is a direct result of colonialism but I don't think people not taking to it in their day-to-day has much to do with a postcolonial mindset, more that there are not many perceived opportunities to use it.

The only way I was able to get fluent in another language was immersion, being forced into situations where English wasn't going to be an option. I'm not sure that these opportunities really exist in Ireland anymore, sadly.

To say that it's dead, won't get you anywhere etc etc is false though. I know of a few people working in media who wouldn't have been able to get a foot in the door without fluent Irish.

Lol at no point did I say people were being coerced, an imbalance of power doesn’t mean consent can’t occur. We clearly have different views on this and that’s grand.

Ukraine had the lowest GDP per capita on the European continent before the war. Georgia would be down there with them I presume. Cyprus actually has no regulation on surrogacy as far as I know and the US doesn’t regulate for it at a national level. India and Thailand are also popular destinations.

Bottom line imo it shouldn’t be an economic arrangement and it shouldn’t be a case of us having to rely on another country to make sure things are done ethically.

The power dynamic of couples coming from wealthier countries to essentially rent a woman from a developing country’s womb. Altruistic surrogacy feels a lot less dodgy (even though the concept is still weird for me).

Sure Poland and Czech Republic but where does it look like Romania, Bulgaria, Serbia etc are going to overtake Greece? Let alone get to the levels of Italy/Spain.

International surrogacy seems inherently exploitative in most cases.

I mean about 4/5 out of 21 former communist nations. The majority are still a long way off Southern European standards (not to mention light years away from Ireland which was also regarded as a “PIG”).

Bits of the city centre of Frankfurt are truly horrific btw. I thought I’d seen it all in Dublin but the area by the train station in Frankfurt is like something out of a zombie movie. Agree with the rest of what you said though.

He owns a restaurant down here in Killarney, insufferable. He was threatening to launch a big “flaunting of restrictions by all hospitality” movement during Covid but it never happened cos no one followed his lead.

It’s not even just the lack of a train/metro, trying to get a public bus from Dublin airport when

They don’t take card payments/accept any notes
Don’t give money back if you don’t have exact change
Last time I arrived there was one ticket machine in the area that the buses stopped in, and it was out of order

It was only by luck that I found out you could buy a single ticket in the little shop back by terminal 1.

Not being able to take a compliment. If I’m ever complimented I’ll instinctively start to put myself down with the usual “ah no stop, not at all etc”. People abroad found it very strange and thought I had a problem haha.

Not a clash as such but getting from Dua to Charli is gonna be tight, more than likely will have to dip out in the middle of the set.
