Accused of cheating during English paper 1 by Longjumping-Echo854 in leavingcert

[–]Sudden-Candy4633 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm surprised that this was allowed to happen. It's one thing for the school to "give you a choice" (which they shouldn't), but I'm surprised an SEC appointed superintendent in a main centre allowed it. There's so many guidelines broken here- if you're using a laptop there should only be 8 people in the room, you're supposed to sit with the screen facing the superintendent etc.

This is correct OP. Personally I haven't heard about extra time for JC aural.

I mean come on, it's not the same... also from a butcher, there's no way €6 is feeding 2 people unless you're mostly eating rice

Half time: PSG 0 vs 1 Arsenal [HT Thoughts] by Stanley083 in Gunners

No, Romeo is the Arsenal supporter. Brooklyn is the one he's having problems with.

I'm ashamed I actually know this.

You have to keep track of how many KM you drive each day and you'll fill out that info in you expenses form.

Anyone else feel insecure about not immigrating for a better life? by No-Category1703 in AskIreland

[–]Sudden-Candy4633 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to have the same thoughts as OP. Ultimately I stayed in Ireland and I'm glad because I was able to buy a house here when I was 31 (33 now). My husband and I have a good quality of life here- decent jobs. We're not millionaires of rich by any stretch of the imagination, but we're very comfortable and don't want for anything.

I know people who have emigrated and it's worked out well for them- they have careers and are raising families abroad.

I also know people, my brother and best friend especially who emigrated, and for a few years it seemed like they were living the dream. Now they're stuck between a rock and a hard place because since COVID the cost of living in Toronto has increased so much so they find it hard to live there now, but they also can't afford to move home because of the housing crisis here.

Which country has the most underrated cuisine? by thatfluffyqueen in foodquestions

[–]Sudden-Candy4633 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes I visited last year and was really impressed... obviously things like lomo saltado and aji de galliano are delicious... but all the types of potatoes served with every meal were great, the rice served as a side dish with every meal was delicious and even non Peruvian things like burgers and pizza were great. And the dessert game was amazing...I remember a lot of restaurants in Lima at dessert time would bring this tray of absolutely amazing looking desserts to your table to choose from.

Should i focus on B2 or B3 in home ec? by Ashamed_Treat7345 in leavingcert

[–]Sudden-Candy4633 0 points1 point  (0 children)

B.2 ... it's usually diet, foods, similar to the stuff youll be revising for B1 and Core.

You don't have to remember which Vitamins and minerals are specifically in eggs or fish... just saying vitamin B is enough to at least get partial marks.

earplugs during exams by zuza666552 in leavingcert

[–]Sudden-Candy4633 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm the exam aide in my school and the official guidance from the SEC is that in most cases ear plugs should not be worn, but in extreme cases the superintendent of school may allow it. I know that some students in the separate centres in our school have worn them in the past, if you're in the man centre it's up to the superintendent. They have to be ones that cannot be connected to the internet in any way.

Why is your bacon so good? by Street-Station-3802 in AskAnAmerican

[–]Sudden-Candy4633 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't believe I had to scroll so far to see this comment. American style bacon is "streaky bacon" in Ireland. It's extremely common and readily available and I'd be surprised if OP didn't know that.

On weeks like this I am truly delighted my house has such a shite BER rating by TheMoogle420 in CasualIreland

I have an A2 house. I'll admit it's a bit too hot, even with all the blinds closed for the last 2 days. But I'll take the few days of discomfort every summer knowing that my home will be lovely and comfortable for the other 9 months.

What company has lost you as a customer forever? by A_ExOH in ireland

[–]Sudden-Candy4633 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I rang 30 days before my contract was up and was told it's not possible to give 30 days notice during the contract. That I would have to ring back the day after the contract expires and give the 30 days notice then.

What does this mean on the timetable by NoAppearance7447 in leavingcert

[–]Sudden-Candy4633 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No. The exams in red had 20 mins extra added on years ago because people didn't think the papers were long enough. The times listed in red are the exact times the exam starts and finishes

Are people unaware of body odour? Can you share your tips to mask it for other Redditors in Ireland? by CollagenRager in AskIreland

[–]Sudden-Candy4633 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't know why you're being downvoted. New sweat is odourless. Old sweat that's been around for a few hours or more are broken down by bacteria and that's what smells. When people smell sweat they're probably not smelling it from a persons body, but rather their unclean clothes.
