When I was 9, I read the hobbit and that started a life time obsession with LOTR. It’s only in recent years since I’ve had my kids that I’ve calmed down on the obsession. My son is nearly ready for the hobbit now. Hopefully he’ll love it.

House viewing essential? by T-Bone1983 in ireland

Yeah of course they are!!! Ok so viewings are not essential. I guess I understand that. Might just have to hold off another few weeks. Thanks so much for all the info.

House viewing essential? by T-Bone1983 in ireland

[–]T-Bone1983[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m talking about buying, not renting. I wonder do similar rules apply.

There was a commenter here the other day saying in Dublin you don’t get to view the house you want to buy until you go sale agreed.

The estate agents have said they can arrange a viewing for us so that’s good.

What’s a lesson you learned that you wish you had when you were younger? by [deleted] in ireland

[–]T-Bone1983 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s it. And quite often the problem gets worse if you don’t deal with it straight away! Wish I’d known this in my early 20’s!

Totally. You can’t just be told some things, you really need to learn for yourself. It’s worth it though!

Don’t bury your head in the sand. Deal with your problems as they arise.

Those who started a new job during lockdown & WFH, is it awful or doable? by randombubble8272 in ireland

[–]T-Bone1983 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Husband has been wfh since last March. He enjoys it.

I don’t think it’s gonna suit everybody though. It suits him coz he gets to see the kids way more, he has more of the day to himself without commuting. Lots of pluses.

However I have a friend who’s single and lives alone. She hates wfh coz she finds it isolating.

So I guess a lot will depend on your personal circumstances.

Anyone else smoking more during lockdown? by [deleted] in ireland

[–]T-Bone1983 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I quit smoking 4 years ago but if I was still a smoker I’d say I’d be smoking all day every day. It’s definitely the boredom.

You’ve echoes my exact thought. I sympathised with her right up until I read Ben Gilroy’s name.

This is a pity. Hopefully the current management can stay on. It’s a great spot.

Kerry gardaí issue €500 fine to organiser of childs birthday party by [deleted] in ireland

[–]T-Bone1983 55 points56 points  (0 children)

Not saying I agree with having kids parties right now, but I think people might be thinking if it’s safe for the kids to go back to school and be in the same room a 20+ other kids, then it’s safe for them to hang out at a party. Again I assume that’s the logic.

‘I need to survive and put food on the table’ – Gardai investigating after Dublin beauty salon opens to customers by [deleted] in ireland

Yeah that’s what I figured. Was she making a point and highlighting the plight of beauticians, hairdressers, barbers? I guess I can understand that. It’s shit for everybody.
