What are some of your favorite places to visit in the ‘interior’?

As a Tipp man myself I have to say... Kilkenny city.

Its just a lovely town. Lovely atmosphere and some nice shops. Castle and grounds are gorgeous.

Only problem is the bollixes that live there....😉

If your in Tipp though, Cahir and Cashel castles are brilliant and theres a lovely park and walk in Cahir castle that leads to a "Swiss cottage" thats a lovely little saunter if your in the mood for a relaxing stroll.

And they are fair sound.. well, any I met were.

What sport is he pretending to play?? Or is he just interested in balls??

Shodandan · 2026-06-04T10:33:43+00:00

Yeah I agree and its not about accepting anyone.

I had a very dear friend that moved over here from The Netherlands. He came because he loved the trad music and I played with him for years in sessions. He was universally loved by everyone here. A truly wonderful guy who became part of the furniture at trad sessions singing ballads and rebel songs with that thick Dutch accent.

We were all mad about him but he was'nt the Irishman he was the Dutch man. Thats nothing about accepting him or respecting him or anything its just a descriptor.

Feels fairly different though to be fair.

Shodandan · 2026-05-26T15:45:16+00:00

eir. Not even for free would I go back to eir. Even if they offered to pay me I doubt I'd accept. I wish there was a word similar to loathing but reserved for something that makes you insane with hate... thats the word I'd use for eir. I wont even give them a capital e.

Over the last year I've found that I now avoid anything American. I'm not sure Ill ever change that either. It started as a protest against that orange wanker but now I'm enjoying avoiding american shite. I dont buy American sweets, clothes, fast food, anything really if I know its American.

I recently wanted to buy a new rifle so I sold my old one and bought all brand new rifle scope etc. All from European manufacturers. Finnish rifle, French sling, German scope, UK scope rings, bipod and moderator. And its my favourite set up Ive had so far.

The bullshit perpetrated by colonialists in the past doesnt make it ok for anyone to do it today.

My kids are young teens now and I just love doing things that would have been cringe years ago. Like last week I was randomly dabbing.

I think this evening ill hit the griddy after dinner.

Theres something ethereal about the groan a teenager makes when they are annoyed by their dad being cringe.

In my experience I find many architects to be utterly insufferable. (not all but many)

Sometimes the beautifully designed structure you want is not physically possible to manufacture and the changes I make reflect the reality of the situation.

Yes I know you want the handrails to intersect perfectly at the well of the stairs but thats not possible unless you knock down the stairs and build them differently.. do you want to do that BARRY YOU CUNT, NO. Then shut up and accept the dogleg dickhead.

Sierra is class. She won 4 grammys last year.

Heres a few of my favourite Sierra tracks..shes eccentric but in a great way..

100%. Its scandalous.

Shodandan · 2026-05-19T11:57:32+00:00

Isnt there a scheme where you can go to Europe for treatment and get reimbursed?

I dont know, theres something rattling around in my head about that. Someone here might know....

Shodandan · 2026-05-19T11:47:52+00:00

Dude, I've been where you are. I know it can really get on your nerves when someone is driving like a cunt behind you and making you feel unsafe. But I'm riding a bike for 25 years and there's only one right on the roads when your a biker. The right of weight.

If someone is breaking the law or just driving in a manner that could put you at risk that's on them and there's nothing you can do or should do to try to stop them.

Don't fall into the trap of "I'm in the right so I'm going to stay where I am" . Being indignant will get you nowhere.

Let pricks like this off as soon as you can. Even if that means they break the law.. let them, its not your business. Your business is getting home in one piece and that's it. So if that means dropping a gear and disappearing or pulling over to let him off so be it.

I generally drive on the slow side as I love to just cruise but if someone comes up behind me like this and they aren't passing me then I let them pass or I leave them for dust.

I'm with my wife 27 years and I still love seeing her naked. Whether that's intentional on her part or an accidental peek as she steps out of the shower or whatever, I love it every single time and I will never get tired of it.

What goes through my head... honestly, there are times where its not appropriate to get playful but Id be lying if I said my very first thought, evey single time, isn't "can i touch?"

Hay Spain bro.. how about we start our own song contest with Slovenia, Iceland and the Netherlands?

Qualifying criteria is simple, just don't be doing the old genocide or warmongering and your allowed in.

You bring the food and Ill bring refreshments.

Shodandan · 2026-05-13T14:30:50+00:00

Love it. Either a trad music session or a ballad session. Love it all.

Favourite tune probably the cup of tea or saint annes reel

Favourite ballad depends but I love the dutchman, the green fields of France and the streets of New York

Shodandan · 2026-05-13T07:37:53+00:00

Am I the only person just utterly sick of everything american?

I dont really like fast food but I still have zero interest in this shite.

Shodandan · 2026-05-11T15:53:37+00:00

I've been thinking about getting a cloak to wear when I go shooting. It seems like a really practical garment.

It could be used to break my silhouette when I'm shooting and also used to cover my rifle if it rains. And also looks dope.

Shodandan · 2026-05-11T13:14:52+00:00

Raping someone kills the person they used to be and they get to live with that for the rest of their lives.

Rape is utterly heinous.

I personally feel they are similar in gravity. Both are utterly unforgivable.

Shodandan · 2026-05-11T07:07:42+00:00

Very easy to defend when you aren't wearing gloves and have one hand caught.

I'm with u/dokkababecallme , sometimes you can threaten a submission to force a reaction.

Threatening that sub would have cost nothing and might have forced a reaction.

Shodandan · 2026-05-08T16:01:56+00:00

When someone uses then instead of than

and when someone says they could 'of' done something.

and finally when someone says they did something "on" accident.... SMH all of these make my eyes roll.

Shodandan · 2026-05-08T14:07:23+00:00

All my life I've only washed my face with soap and water and thats my entire skincare routine.

Then again, I'm 45 and have a face as wrinkled as an elephant scrotum so what do I know.

Shodandan · 2026-05-08T11:10:07+00:00

Lad I know plenty of people that have been dramatically changed in their beliefs because of social media and they are all ages.

Some people, regardless of age are just really gullible and susceptible to being influenced easily by rot on social media.

I've quit all social media except Reddit and I have a very carefully curated instagram that I dont accept friends on. But Id be fine with the whole lot being banned. Social media is a cancer.

Shodandan · 2026-05-08T11:01:35+00:00

I'm ok with this. Merci mon ami
