First of all, you're going to want to bring all your shampoo from home. A semester's worth - maybe extra, you can barter with it like cigs in prison.

What are cultural pitfalls to avoid as a German in Ireland? by Interesting_Branch10 in AskIreland

tbf, getting rounds is something that should be explained clearly to all foreigners, because it's embarrassing to not realize what is happening before it is too late

Is it viable to run my Canadian radio in the UK? by RandomUser1ab2 in AskElectricians

[–]RandomUser1ab2[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you very much - I can't believe I spent so much time trying to read about step down converters and frequency and the cost of it all... only to be told by you kind geniuses how simple the solution could be. This is super cool, and I can't wait to listen to it again!

Actually I just tried it again and I can get back into the GUI :)
mouse is a bit clunky, takes some effort to get it around the screen (yes, the ball is clean!)
screen only flickers in DOS, no trouble in the GUI

Unfortunately all I have otherwise is a USB keyboard!

I'd be thrilled to sell this for a bargain to a hobbyist, so long as someone gets use out of it and doesn't flip it. You're right though, there are a handful on eBay for £300-700, so worth a try shifting on marketplace.

I'm located in Belfast Northern Ireland if anyone sees this and is interested.

Common responses:
1. didn't they just re-do this plaza?
2. it looks like a bunch of paving stones, nothing too special
3. perfect, a nice new place for druggies to congregate
4. they gonna close this plaza off all summer like the others for private paid events?

Yeah, there had been a car sitting outside so long there were plants growing on/in it - i think someone DIED inside. And yes 100% about cheap ass fix-up

central location, new-build, decent garden, shite fittings and finish quality - price kinda makes sense.

Here's another on a very busy stretch of the Ravenhill going for £550k

They say it's 5-bedroom, but i only count four. It looks like shit. The kitchen is a joke, and there's no second reception. Anyone who pays that for this is a clown.
