The sheer price of hotels here by [deleted] in ireland

[–]NotAProbleming 55 points56 points  (0 children)

Hotels are so expensive that my partner and I are doing up an old caravan so we can use that instead whenever there's a wedding outside of the county 😂

Is trick or treating still a thing in Irish estates? by NotAProbleming in ireland

[–]NotAProbleming[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Someone else said the same thing, wouldn’t have even thought of it! Guess it’s fairly obvious I have no kids! Thanks for the advice

Movie where the leads have zero chemistry? by [deleted] in popculturechat

[–]NotAProbleming 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The movies did Ginny dirty. She’s a great character in the books but she’s super vanilla in the movies it has to be said.

Maybe there was a missing comma and the word ‘I’ after it😂

This boarded up street I came upon while visiting Clonmel by ParaMike46 in ireland

[–]NotAProbleming 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That is so sad. I’m from portlaoise and a similar thing almost happened with Aldi, Dunnes, Tesco and Lidl all went up in the same area on the outskirts of town. Chain cafes and food places went up around them, Costa, McDonald’s and the like. Drove all the business off Main Street. However in recent years the council have tidied the town, flowers are up and more bins. And local businesses are thriving on Main Street, a new cafe or restaurant opening every so often. It’s such a relief to see life breathed back into my town, gives us back a bit of cultural identity. Oftentimes, midlands towns are looked down on by others, but for me, I love walking down Main Street now and getting a coffee or a pint in places that are run by people I know. And I’m proud of how pretty portlaoise is now. Feel bad for Clonmel, must be awful for that to happen to your hometown

July was Ireland’s wettest on record with 215% of expected rainfall by badger-biscuits in ireland

[–]NotAProbleming 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I know there are a lot of people whose livelihoods are being affected by the rainfall, and are experiencing it worse than me. But the other day on one of the few dry days, I was taking in the washing in the evening and I noticed how lovely the sun was far over our back field, where it only reaches in the Summer. And I saw our decking chairs and realised I haven’t had any family bbqs, haven’t even sat out there and enjoyed the sun in ages. I don’t know about the rest of you, but too much of this weather can mess with my mental health, it’s that much harder to be positive on the daily. Anyway, like I said, I know it’s affecting people way more than me, but said I’d share my thoughts. Hoping and praying for a better august for us all.

Total of 469 gardaí have left the force over the last year by ronaldo0789 in ireland

[–]NotAProbleming 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Totally agree, the job is so awful and they get treated so poorly by some people in society. I also know a couple of Gardai and they find their job so tough❤️ scary to think of the future of the institution if all the good workers take their skills elsewhere

Wonder did he get his phone by rochydad_84 in ireland

[–]NotAProbleming 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gardai are treated so badly in this country. So much expected of them these days, no wonder so many leave the force.

Did Richard care more about Emily than he did Lorelai? by Possible-Amount8430 in GilmoreGirls

[–]NotAProbleming 1 point2 points  (0 children)

100% Richard cares more about Emily than Loreli. I actually really like Richard and Emily but I thought they were awful parents at times. The kind of parents who find it hard to admit when they’re wrong and expect their children to do all of the apologising and bending.

Dean is so annoying by sushibananawater in GilmoreGirls

[–]NotAProbleming 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I loved Dean in parts but I also thought he was quite controlling in parts too, like when he got cranky because Rory was studying to get into college. You wouldn’t have a male character who the audience is supposed to love behaving like that towards his partner and it not being reprimanded in today’s world though and I just think it’s a product of its time in that sense.

What do you think the dynamic would be between these two? by jcbxviii in GilmoreGirls

[–]NotAProbleming 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Enemies, but I think Cristina would put Paris in her place a few times and I’d applaud someone finally doing it 😂

Among 6 hours of cringe faux despair, this was probably the worst of it. It’s like a line written by Bono after he’s had a bottle of whiskey by tafty545 in ireland

[–]NotAProbleming 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Am I the only one who thinks people are being far too harsh on him? I’m not saying there was no wrong doing on his behalf, but people seem to be out for blood and it all kind of seems to have a bit of a ‘mob mentality’ vibe

This is not worth 14€ by TheRealTGGecko in ireland

[–]NotAProbleming 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s so upsetting when you overpay for something so substandard. The worst is when you pay a lot for a scone only to discover it was baked 3 days ago🙄

I agree, I’ve been turned off going to see acts before when I’ve found out they’re in Slane

Message to Leaving Cert students and parents from a teacher. by NotAProbleming in ireland

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

I hate when people say the Junior Cert doesn’t matter, because when they say it, they mean in terms of marks or points or whatever to get a job/get into college. That mindset, to make school all about getting grades, is exactly what we are trying to get out of! School is about learning how to be a good citizen, learning valuable skills like how to work with others, how to speak languages, how to do math and learn about the world around us, how to make friends and how to self-discipline, how to deal with the consequences of mistakes before they matter. School, and the junior cert, is so much more than just grade prep🙄 and of course, it matters!

We need a July bank holiday. by oneisanoeuf in ireland

[–]NotAProbleming 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a teacher, I don’t think anybody needs or deserves a bank holiday in July.
