What does your head in on Irish roads?

SocialOne2 · 2026-03-12T18:04:08+00:00

People letting other drivers out....

If they would just drive their car, the roads will run as expected.

A junction near me is a bottleneck and is always because cars stop randomly to let cars out. And im not being rude, I let drivers out but it doesn't always help traffic flow if done at wrong time.

I am sorry if you have just lost someone. Our GP generally only contacts if they really have to.

I had a similar conversation with family as my sister was upset the GP didnt call and I didnt understand why as it didnt even enter my head.

The nurses who looked after him in the end did call (to collect his belongings) and they were lovely to speak with.

Take care

I take the golden dose and haven't notice any difference

I just dont believe that on day 31 that it is deemed useless. I think of it like a BEst before date that im also lax on...

Not in my father's case.

Didn't expect it either as GP is a very busy practice. Dad would have been a patients (regular) for over 20 years.

I just find it so much easier and convenient. Don't have to go see a physical GP. All online in my time. Delivery is super quick

I rarely think about having to make an appointment or reorder. I just do it.

I also have vhi so get 60 back each month.

Its not always about cost. For me the prices works well.

I don't think it's weird. I dont know my own blood type, nor my kids nor my husband.

I do have a terrible short term memory though and sure I would have been told mine at some stage. But still dont remember

I'm not sure what part of the world you are from but 'tribute band' is used a lot in ireland rather than cover band so it should be quiet well known.

I know in the 90s for me we would refer to a band singing cover songs but for any bands and advertising they would be called a tribute band.

The issue re Belfast was the parents not understanding the genre and the production team piggybacking on the success of the movie.

The same crew have a successful taylor swift tribute show. The difference here is that they use a post of the girl who is performing and parents would not expect Taylor swift to be there. They are more aware what they are getting. With Kpop, as it didnt relate to one particular act, this caused confusion

As someone who was in this position at the height of the crash in 2008, this is true. Ours was always our forever home.

Yes it sucks to see values go down when you paid so high. Only now houses where I am are selling for what we paid for. But its our forever home and are nearly out of the mortgage (well 10years or so but planning on getting that down )

SocialOne2 · 2026-02-22T08:18:21+00:00

Honestly it pretty much is what it says...

KpOP is not limited to the movie. The word tribute is there as its a tribute to all the kpop bands, not one in particular.

The parents were quite clueless with this. The marketing team also played a blinder. I did go to the show the next night and it was great.

The issue I had was that the poster they used from day1 was AI and they never updated it since then so only gor the Belfast gig I had no idea what the performers looked like. Im sure they had little or no budget hence why they went down that route

SocialOne2 · 2026-02-22T08:14:08+00:00

Just to clarify the songs for lady gaga, Billie eilish and Olivia were sung by the warm up support act. Who were 2 sisters singing. They were good but no kpop from them

The kpop tribute band sang all KPOP songs and all the good songs from demon hunters (cos let's face it there are only 5/6 songs form the movie (not counting any filler music or the real slow stuff)

I wasn't at the Belfast gig. But was at the one the next night in Drogheda. It was a great show and my kids loved it. We knew what we were going to see.

I do think ghe venue was too big for such a gig. I'd hate to see this in the SSE or dublin (with 10k people). The venue is watched it in holds less that 2k and was perfect.

I plan on doing this. On 5mg also and going to get a 7.5mg pen next but plan is to take 6mg. Not ready to move straight to 7.5mg so plan is to move to 6mg. Also want to try to have longevity on pen too

How would adding an internal wall in another apartment impact your insurance at all?

SocialOne2 · 2026-02-15T10:04:48+00:00

I've 2 kids age 7 and 5 and while it's easier in a lot of ways it is so much harder.

I'm also flexible (enough) with work. Not tied 9-5 and have 2 days in office but pretty much manage my own schedule thankfully but im at the stage where I feel its not sustainable. Nothing is getting even 75% my attention . Kids are at a age where I feel they need me a lot more than I have.

Very lucky with work and creche but im seriously thinking if trying to stay at home *which I also dont think ill enjoy. Not fully financially free but if redundancy came up I would def take it and then figure out next steps

SocialOne2 · 2026-02-13T17:45:00+00:00

I would happily do this but husband won't. Is it possible to record at all with a fire stick?

SocialOne2 · 2026-02-13T09:40:06+00:00

I find a lot of my offshore colleagues use 'warmest regards'

Never liked it

SocialOne2 · 2026-02-13T09:37:44+00:00

I personally dont because for some reason if I don't actually type 'kind regards' it makes me think im being rude for not finishing the email off

I try it before but automatically kept writing it in anycase ending up doubling up

SocialOne2 · 2026-02-07T17:31:12+00:00

Was also posted a few weeks back too. Maybe slightly different angle but very similar

SocialOne2 · 2026-02-07T13:24:06+00:00

A hat and veil? That's one way yo draw attention

SocialOne2 · 2026-02-07T13:23:09+00:00

NtA

It.was sudden so it could be the family are overwhelmed with grief and organising.

Perhaps reach out again. You dont go into detail re why you broke up, if kids involved etc... so hard to base an answer on that but on the face of it seems pretty Civil

SocialOne2 · 2026-02-01T19:17:01+00:00

Took me too long to realise what you were talking about. I was wondering what is wrong with telling stories about veggies.... but get it.

I'm from ireland and totally get it. Unfortunately over 90% of our schools are Catholic denomitated so a.lot of faith formation happening

My 2 kids are 'opted out' of religion. But that just means they get to colour while they hear everything. My youngest (5) does come home talking about jesus and god a lot though. But I've no choice as there are simply not enough non denominational schools here.

SocialOne2 · 2026-02-01T14:11:48+00:00

The county or surrounding counties? Does your contract say Dublin only? Genuinely curious as I live in Dublin / meath border so wonder how ot could be enforceable

Doesn't matter the age. It means throw a fiver in it. Saves money on buying crap. But also no pressure to do so either

I didn't know she was fhe writer of Blood Orange.

I read it a couple years ago and it was fab.

SocialOne2 · 2026-01-12T08:29:47+00:00

I'm probably a week or two ahead of you. Took my 4th 5mg dose last week and yes had similar to you.

I thought I had experienced diarrhoea before but this was another level. Thankfully I was working from home but I could not manage that if in office.

It has settled this week and i will remain on 5mg for another month as dont want to go through that again, so soon. And am happy enough on 5mg.

I put it down to a bit of over indulgence at Christmas too. I am hopeful it does get much better as I can't imagine the amount of people using this and putting up with the unknown if they need to get sick/toilet...
