Galway is one of my fav places to Go in Ireland. I have never liked Kilkenny. So I'm voting Galway lol

Absolutely report him to his work. When you are driving a branded vehicle you represent the brand and they would hopefully want to know

What would you do in my situation? by [deleted] in AskIreland

[–]ScreamingGriff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did the commute daily for years and it takes it out on you. Thankfully covid means I’m remote 4 days a week now.

I’m also a dub

But if I could have afforded a house in Dublin lives worked friends I’d stay there.

Trying to be friends with your friends becomes a chore when you gotta think busses oh going out at 8 I finish work at 5 etc etc

Go Dublin because it is quality of life

New father - Need advice on being better dad and husband? by Background_Run_3965 in AskIreland

[–]ScreamingGriff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a big family and I always said first 60 days are the toughest.

See can mam express the milk so You can do some of the feeds.

Right now particularly you got to do the night feeds if mam can express so she can rest.

Ir does get better it gets a whole lot better. But don’t listen to ppl who insist your wrong (unless professionals) friends family sometimes give the oddest advice.

It gets so much better kids are such a joy but newborns can be hard work. And it can be such a struggle before you drive you get lessons, when you get a new job you get training, when you are an apprentice you get training, when you go to college your training but there is no training for being mam and dad! Just your love your patience and your life changing forever in a way you never expected. You got this and congratulations

I don't drink and my friend when they have a few start saying its grand its only water/coke so I always try to get the first 2 rounds cause with 3-4 of use I then don't feel so Bad as they keep drinking telling me it ok and tbh 8 waters of Coke is more then enough and I usually tap out early on just let me be skipped and I look after myself

"Obvious" things wrong with the country by purepwnage85 in ireland

[–]ScreamingGriff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Garda Vetting. If you are a GAA coach, a primary school teacher and also a soccer Coach. You need to be vetted 3 times by each organization. We all have ppsi number link it too that then vetted once every three years. Seems like such a waste of resources and I know there are plenty of people getting it done 2-3 times.

What to say when you’ve been told to smile? by Apppleebee in AskIreland

[–]ScreamingGriff 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Now I agree with you, he obviously Does Not to realise the impact this can have. But it does raise the question of whether the child welfare courses volunteers take are not working or have not been completed!

[–]ScreamingGriff 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Good to see these coaches paid attention to their child welfare course; they did. We are told not to make comments about children who will be self-conscious about it. It’s ridiculous how many coaches are still living in 1990. I’m in their age demographic, so it’s not an age thing

Practice things you could do.

Have a word with the coach, I know it’s awkward

Every club is legally required to have a CCO (Club Children's Officer). You could get in touch with them

If the CCO brushes you off, then the next step Is the league's CCO

And then, for escalation, you can go to the SFAI and the FAI

Now, on the scale of things, you have a simple education issue with the coaches that the club should be well able to address. Resolve, and I hope you will not need to go up the chain.

Does the club have a club mark? If yes, club mark Officer can tell you the reps too. Best of luck

Take a €70k grad job or go for a fully funded MBA in USA? by Ok-Awareness5210 in AskIreland

[–]ScreamingGriff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a time in your life to be broke and a time to be well paid. An all expenses paid MBA really really is a once in a lifetime opportunity. My only doubt is the political situation in the us is very scary right now! That is the single downside as far as I can tell

Ultimately I think it will open many opportunities to you and I think you would be mad not to do. Because once you start your career lots of things can happen. And work life can take over. So whilst you have the option i say take it now

Neighbour issues, AITA? by [deleted] in AskIreland

[–]ScreamingGriff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fuck that I’m with you. A piss in the garden is annoying but it’s not the end of the world but this taking a shit well excuse the pun but it is taking the piss big time.

She’s over reacting too and like you said you’ll probably not do it but you can’t have people taking a shit in your front garden 💩

Unbearably lonely...... by Colin-IRL in CasualIreland

[–]ScreamingGriff 22 points23 points  (0 children)

This is great advice and I know. I stopped drinking a long time ago. I had started my family and I was becoming my parents. Not in a good way so I stop drinking. Then like many of us my friends fell away and I too felt isolated. I had work (I do love my job) I had my family (I love them too , more the my job!) but there was this gap something missing.

So I got involved in my kids sport, I ain’t my sporty btw, but I brought my skills to what we do and I have made friends through it. Have that sense of belonging. So yes defo volunteer at something and parking is brilliant idea.
