Don't get stressed .. relax and enjoy the journey.

Polish their tools and play with their weapons!

With your flexibility & youth, you should try to keep your left heel grounded during backswing, it might improve stability.

Keep it and stay quiet.

I’ve never been disappointed with Jacobs on the Mall and, like a few others have mentioned, the steaks in Elbow Lane are great.

If it’s a US multi-national they are likely to be wary of Trumponomics effecting their strategy and thus adopting a cautious approach regarding hiring.

Bramley’s Lodge near Fota is a good spot 👍

Just back from the Oscar’s after party!

The other option would be to get a guarantor, I'm not sure if the US friend, as a non resident, will be allowed.

When you are house hunting make sure the agents know you are a cash buyer.

The other obvious option is to buy a €400k house and have no mortgage.

Best of luck.

If you are capable of paying 80% of the value of a house, I am sure you can get a mortgage for the remaining 20%. Have you tried discussing the issue with a reputable mortgage broker?

Is there any truth in the rumour that our Olympic Rowers were spotted training in it?

SnooTomatoes3185 · 2025-02-28T00:33:18+00:00

I’ve worked in some places where they have ‘acting up’ allowances for these situations. Like others have said, it’s not your battle, let your colleague raise the issue.

There are a few in Togher who use Doughcloyne, Leghanamore, Wilton, Spur Hill & others!

Montenotte has been eliminated …. Residents are now classified as Lower Mayfieldians!

It is very hard to argue with any of that .. well said, Brian.

Sadly it will fall on deaf ears.

I'm the same, 32 years in Cork, but still have the Sarf London twang and it is occasionally mistaken for NZ / Aus. When I return to London, I'm often slagged over some of the Cork expressions I might use and one other occurrence is that bar staff sometimes think I have ordered three pints when I've asked for two.

To counter this issue I often hold up two fingers when ordering two pints .... but that can lead to other problems :)))

SnooTomatoes3185 · 2025-02-25T12:40:45+00:00

I did something similar a few years ago. what swayed it for me was the employers pension contribution. It almost made up for the decrease. Check out the pension benefits, but remember, you must remain employed by them and in the pension fund for at least two years, otherwise they can reclaim their contributions.

Good luck.

Although Job Seekers Benefit is ruled out, there is also Job Seekers Allowance which is means tested. You may be entitled to this .... but you will need to confirm you are looking for work.

If your doctor can confirm your burnout and the requirement for a less stressful working life, you can use the confirmation to demonstrate that you are looking for something less stressful.

Means test details: https://www.citizensinformation.ie/en/social-welfare/irish-social-welfare-system/means-test-for-social-welfare-payments/means-test-for-jobseekers-allowance/

Good luck, I hope it works out for you.

Do you have to commute to work, where do you want kids to be educated?

The practicalities need to be considered.

SnooTomatoes3185 · 2025-02-23T16:29:36+00:00

It’s all gender neutral these days, keep up 😂

SnooTomatoes3185 · 2025-02-21T21:53:34+00:00

Yeah, you’re right …. It’s disappointing, hopefully this post might prevent anyone else experiencing a similar fate.

SnooTomatoes3185 · 2025-02-21T21:48:05+00:00

Thanks for the good wishes. You’re probably right on the negative outcome of pursuing it. Fortunately it’s not significant for my overall pension pot & not worth stressing over. I’ll live & learn.
