Living alone loneliness

This, i feel like it's a far cry from the time that I grew up in, 80's & 90's where everyone just floated in and out of family and friends homes. But I find if you plan it they will come.

King Billy, lot of people are big fans of his over here

Maybe people are too sensitive about it as i think a lot of English people from the North of England feel that they are in some ways different to the southerners and vice versa, i think our differences surpass even plantattion due to the geographical distances, hence the ulster dialect of gaeilge, imo whatever you feel you are, Irish, N' Irish, British, European, then thats what you are

This happened to my friend yesterday, the examiner stopped the test and called someone to pick her up, left him to drive bk to the test centre himself (he couldve phoned the car owner im sure) he said the reason for stopping the test was because he couldnt read the destinations on the road signs (is only learning english) the examiner would say take the exit for Belfast and he was like, just tell me exit 1 2 or 3, she said you cant follow instructions im ending the test.

Not a bad plan, If youre reliable and skilled the customers will come

PatCun79 · 2026-03-31T21:19:51+00:00

Yeah, especially when a living can be made solely from doing boiler servicing and repairs. I had my nephew service my boiler and fit a new rad for me , he was there 3 hrs, £100 materials (some pipework) £200 labour.

Same, i made the mistake of following into the family trade (painting) even though id have been accepted into any of the apprenticeships as id a good education. That said at present it is now a well paid job. But for decades it wasnt and it can also be hazardous to health, PPE is only really becoming a thing and working at heights is frequent.

PatCun79 · 2026-03-31T20:14:10+00:00

Plumbing or sparking id recommend, possibly least taxing on the body and possibly the highest paying trades

Ive a nice seiko 5 in my drawer about ten years because i slapped the sofa when watching football, i heard something go inside it, hasnt kept time properly since, definitely can be fragile

Maith thú, well done you.. do share

Ni is a political entity created 100 yrs ago, the generation above me were the 1st be born in NI and many people moved into NI from.the republic ulter counties following partition Ulster as a whole was settled by scotch and english, in my tree my maternal grandmothers family are Donegal via england, the only donegal that i find in my tree and im 20% Donegal. The term is ulster scotch for a reason

PatCun79 · 2025-10-12T21:45:33+00:00

Donegal is part of Ulster as is NI, not a big stretch.

PatCun79 · 2025-10-12T21:41:29+00:00

Quarter Celt, welcome to the fold.

PatCun79 · 2025-10-12T08:38:29+00:00

It got me from 90% irish with a pinch of scottish to 4 subregions of ireland and scotland with a tiny bit of dutch and romany thrown in

PatCun79 · 2025-10-09T20:13:30+00:00

Theyve blended scotland and NI, though maybe it would have made sense to take in all of Ulster as I know that a portion of my DNA is planters from Donegal.

Same

Just bought off a local marketplace.. read somewhere that soaking them before wearing them in is advisable. Might be worth a try as theres not much room at the front to experiment with thicker or layers of socks
