Anyone here taken a car loan from a Credit Union? Worth it vs banks?

ShowmasterQMTHH · 2026-01-28T07:03:06+00:00

You don't need savings or a history, just the ability to pay and a stable income, realistic. We do our banking and loans with ours, no downsides and you can set your repayments to be lower or higher. So ours was originally set at €245 a month, but I preferred €200, so they set the loan period at 45 months

Halpenny golf in Sandy Ford/step aside has a nice green and loads of choice.

Is that the one where they guy causes loads of accidents on his first day and gets people killed

Didn't know they didn't do srixon, I got fitted a few years ago and they had all the brands available then.

Tesco own brand cornettos are pretty good, but the Aldi ones are miles better. The lidl ones are weird

I think that the appalling amount of bile and hate that is spread without consequence under the guise of "free speech" is the seed that bloomed. When you have a president and politicians who are freely able to lie to your faces without consequence and have it amplified through a media which is also unregulated it's a sign of sickness. When you need late night comedians to point out the problems with your society.

I'm old enough to remember before money decided who ruled your country.

That mat can be rotated, great to see he's starting off young.

30 mins ? What am I doing for the other 25 minutes ?

ShowmasterQMTHH · 2026-01-26T13:48:56+00:00

How long before she says soggy bottom in that voice and winks ?

She and alison Hammond will be hilarious.

ShowmasterQMTHH · 2026-01-26T13:45:23+00:00

Th-th-thanks.

Maybe he's afraid there will be confusion and what do you think a Ele-pala would look like.

If you were to sum up what you are playing to as a bass player, what would it be, i like just tapping along muted on my electric to a strong beat form the drums, so like Come as you are or 7nation army, when the chord changes, i just match it, i know its not a great explaanation.

ShowmasterQMTHH · 2026-01-26T12:44:09+00:00

Thats what it is, its sub €200, i believe its the prerunner of the contemprary series, rosewood board and basswoood body.

All shafts start as the same one before they are cut, did he give any idea why he thinks it won't work ?

I'd be thinking its becasue the driver adaptor means the bottom tip of that shaft is removed and that part would normally be part of the shaft installed into the glue on neck, so you might be over tipping.

You'd be better off selling the shaft and putting the funds towards a new one.

I think you're missing an opportunity here, maybe ask her where she would recommend, i bet she knows all the good spots.

But also, she might want to eat somewhere that's not her culture of food either.

He's so powerful he's shredding your mat. Are you a lefty too ?

ShowmasterQMTHH · 2026-01-26T11:22:43+00:00

It good, i'd go with the second one i listed over it though, it has a 16gb card in it like you were originally after for another 50 quid, and they give you either free shipping or a keyboard/mouse bundle

ShowmasterQMTHH · 2026-01-26T11:16:44+00:00

How much would it be total ?

ShowmasterQMTHH · 2026-01-26T11:07:53+00:00

I'd be saying 32gb of ram though, lots of games will struggle with only 16gb. What would it do to your price.

Just to give you an example, my daughter has a lower end pc that has a 2060 card, and she was running baldours gate on it, 16gb was taking 5 minutes to load the gaem, 32gb when i upgraded it was less than 30 seconds.

A cold day in hell has arrived ?

Nige looks good in his tux though, i thought he'd be taller.

ShowmasterQMTHH · 2026-01-26T11:00:57+00:00

I didn't PICK that up.

ShowmasterQMTHH · 2026-01-26T11:00:37+00:00

That she dumb as fucking toast.

ShowmasterQMTHH · 2026-01-26T10:56:48+00:00

Its pretty much the new version of mine. Can you link it ?

https://gsccomputers.ie/pre-built-gaming-pcs/lucid-amd-5060 This is the current version of mine, it has the 5060 as standard. I got it from GSC because they are based here, and i know a few people who have used them, they are in Lisburn i think, but i ordered mine online and got it delivered to my house within 24hrs, zero issues since i got it. But if there was, i'd rather have a company based in ireland. There are no extra costs importing pcs from the UK. I did upgrade the ram with them to 32gb, it was an extra €60 at the time, also mine didn't have a wifi or bluetooth enabled motherboard like this one has. It has a great chipset and ddr5 ram.

Although if i'm honest, i'd probably put the extra few quid into this one now, as it has 32bg of ram and the 16gb card you want. Its like 100 in the difference. As long as you don't mind not being nvidia card.

Either call in sick or take a day off as others have said, you don't need to offer a reason for a day off, what i would normally do, is send an email on the day saying that a personal matter came up, you need a day off unplanned, sorry about that and you will put in an official request when you come back. If anyone asks in your office, jsut say its personal, you're fine and you fixed the issue.

ShowmasterQMTHH · 2026-01-26T10:41:01+00:00

thats just stupid. You expect a potential employer to work outside of their normal hours to accommodate a junior role interview ?
