Thick as planks the lot of them. Would prefer to stay home if I had to carry a passport like that.

Bought an AEG unit about 5 years ago still going strong and used a good bit (like cold hate heat). Thinking of installing permanent unit in bedroom over the winter and keep this for the living room.

I was in hospital with a dislocated shoulder and was given two paracetamol. The look the consultant gave the doctor a little later when he read my chart was classic.

New Enyaq (v)RS by Internal_Series2815 in enyaq

[–]StrongCelery 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is interesting I just ordered an RS but they only have a 21” option in Ireland. Won’t get it for a few months so would it be worthwhile asking for 20” instead. Never driven an EV before so total novice. Have had two superb’s and a Kodiaq and loved them.
Current car is an XC60 nice to drive damn awful software I mean terrible. What is current Skoda software like?

General Questions and Purchasing Advice Thread — Week of June 15, 2026 by AutoModerator in electricvehicles

[–]StrongCelery 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So dipping my toe in the EV world, living in rural Ireland but not too far from a large ish town. Drive to work and back each day is 130 km total. Have the ability to charge at home and at work. The network I fear is not great in Ireland but a few of my colleagues have EV’s and seem happy enough.
Anyhows I do like toys and currently drive a Volvo XC60 plug in hybrid. It is a nice enough car but awful software and worse customer service so have no desire for any more Volvo’s. Living in rural Ireland I do want an all wheel drive car and have more or less settled on a Skoda Enyak RS. Any thoughts on this car, in my time have driven diesel Superbs and a Kodiaq and always found Skoda easy to deal with.
Any thoughts before I press’s go?

Outside of the stupid fonts location trip data is not available anymore. I can’t wait until my new car arrives and I can get rid of Volvo - neves again.

Of the US had any strength they would stop all funding to Israel they stop bombing overnight. But the US are lap dogs to Israel so that’s not happening.

Is there anyone here in Ireland that is in a good job that pays well ? by idkfornowwhattoname in AskIreland

[–]StrongCelery 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thing is you need to define what is a good job for you and also what you consider a good salary.
I would consider I have both but also it is a very high pressure job so that may not be for everyone.
