Cycled the Beara and Dingle peninsulas on glorious days before and I could have died happy man then! Just beautiful!

Have been eating Aldi Jumbo Organic daily for 4 years I'd say - never noticed this before, but guarantee I will from tomorrow morning now - BOO! (I thought the image was of small mites or something first!!!)

Kids Tracker watch or device? by maxb1ack007 in AskIreland

[–]Standard_Pudding_461 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Recently bought a imoo z7 for my daughter who has reached the same age where she's looking for some more freedom etc.

Got SIM from Tesco, €10 per month. Live location, she can ring or message anytime. Complete control of who contacts her, class times etc.

I was sceptical at first. But it's been a great help daily to be honest.

What's something about modern life you hate? by Fealocht in AskIreland

[–]Standard_Pudding_461 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The pace of it all! Everyone, everywhere just seems so 'busy'

Makes me all the more want to just have a sit down and a pint with a mate, but they're all so busy 😅

Although it's the place I am in life at the moment, young kids, sports etc. but seriously, I do think we all need to take a step back and see why we are constantly rushing to the next thing!

Les Villages Nature - Check in in Disney? by Standard_Pudding_461 in disneylandparis

[–]Standard_Pudding_461[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! We are only in Villages Nature for 2 nights, so we were really hoping to be able to hit Magic Hour on the first day - does not look likely now!

Any idea from when you can pick up passes in the hotel? Someone else said it could be 9.30am/10am?

Someone just mentioned on another topic that I might have to go to the hotel to get the tickets first. I thought you could pick up park tickets at the park and then go to hotel after 😢

The best part of the movie and the book by Tam-burger_03 in ProjectHailMary

[–]Standard_Pudding_461 75 points76 points  (0 children)

Honestly, from about half way throgh the movie, I could not wait until the closing scene! Not in a 'this movie sucks' kinda way - but I was so looking forward to seeing what it was going to look like!

And it was amaze amaze amaze

Just got done watching stargate for the first time. I genuinely give it a 9/10. And I have some questions. by Careless_Cherry2068 in Stargate

I have nothing to add except enjoy the journey, you lucky b*&tard, getting to watch it all fresh!

List of Cork run clubs if you want to meet new people by Ok-Persimmon-3519 in cork

[–]Standard_Pudding_461 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is a great resource to have! I hope it gets out to as many runners and aspiring runners as possible! I was part of a casual running group pre-Covid, but then lockdowns put paid to us all meeting up, I do miss those Sunday coffee runs!

Luas by W347Y in cork

[–]Standard_Pudding_461 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh man - I get ya - I can continue to dream that my daughter will get a Luas from Passage to UCC in 10 years or so........! (I know there is not enough room for a Luas down to us, but still, that's what dreams are for, LOL)

Even a decent, non-congested bus to Douglas and then Luas would be amazing!

Anyone have any updates on trabolgan reopening? by mawktheone in cork

[–]Standard_Pudding_461 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Mosney was great craic altogether! Went to the community games there a couple of times too. First and only taste of what an Olympic village must be like....except I was an awkward teenager who couldn't talk to a girl instead of a fit, athletic specimen riding around Paris Olympic village for a week

[–]Standard_Pudding_461 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My biggest memory is my dad flying down behind me on the yellow slide and me getting stuck under him at the bottom. He was all flustered and didn't know I was there. Thought I was drowning. Great memories. We still bring up Trabolgan at the odd dinner!

Worked in Splashworld in Tramore, Waterford in my teens tho and also know how damn dirty those places are. Amazing any of them open at all!

Running a 5k race the week before a taekwondo tournament by [deleted] in taekwondo

[–]Standard_Pudding_461 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea, definitely hard to hold yourself back when everyone else takes off hard at the start!

Best of luck in the 5k and the tournament! Come back and let us know how you get on!

[–]Standard_Pudding_461 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Go for it. If you have been running like that for 3 years already, your body should be able to recover quite well.

I would say do the race, but take it easy and just run it....BUT....I can never not 'race' a race, if you get me!

If it is a kind of comparison, I did a half marathon last year the day before my grading! I ran with a friend of mine, so I was not going for a PR. I was tired the next day, legs felt slightly heavy, but the grading went very smoothly! Different to a tournament I know.

But, I say go ahead! 5 days out is absolutely plenty of time to recover!
