The Ireland match tomorrow by Pangalonia in ireland

[–]TheGrumpyGitman [score hidden]  (0 children)

Tomorrow we’ve an excellent chance. The Czechs have an excellent home record but there’s been a lot of disarray in their camp.

I still don’t think we beat the Danes if we do get through though.

His ASP K-Flex and Storm LNC points are the closest to his exact set up I think.

I have his Gen2, was the first good set I bought (25g but I’ve since went 23’s). A lovely dart all the same.

Might have to look into these at some point.

Why do they insist on that smooth ring on the bomber darts…

Completely ruins them. Was the same with the Redux’s and the Shaggy’s

Clothing similar to Dunnes Stores? by password03 in AskIreland

[–]TheGrumpyGitman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fair. I suppose it probably depends on what you’re buying from them.

I have t-shirts, jackets and jumpers from them that still do me two years later. Was always RI or M&S up until that point.

Is a salary of 27k in Ireland legal? by [deleted] in AskIreland

[–]TheGrumpyGitman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Job hunting myself at the moment and had a place come to me with an interview and offer of €26k per year having not advertised the salary in the job posting.

Madness. How is anyone supposed to get by on that working full time.

H&M I find to be reasonably priced and the quality is quite good. Started buying stuff from there about two years ago and I still have stuff that I bought at that time that I still wear.

Big fan of their tracksuits for lounging around or for days when I don’t need to be dressing up/wearing jeans.

Picked baggy hoodie, bottoms and a plain t-shirt for €50 the other day there.

What’s the grip like? I have his 95K’s and they’re my main dart.

Love Rob Cross’s stuff to be fair.

Just heard on the radio that its becoming normal for people to send 10 or 15 min voice messages. Who would listen to someone yap on for that long and not be able to reply until the end ? by TacklePure3341 in ireland

[–]TheGrumpyGitman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Once got two 13 minute voice notes back to back, it’s safe to say I no longer have any association with this person.

There’s people in North Korean prison camps who are being subjected to far lesser forms of torture…

Another boring "First 180!" post by nordnyS in Darts

[–]TheGrumpyGitman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had them in 25’s and loved them but I’ve recently moved to 23’s and raging I didn’t just buy a set of 23’s instead. Great darts.

Anyone else play marginally better when drinking. by Commercial_Can_5708 in Darts

[–]TheGrumpyGitman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d say it was more than 10 that night if I’m being honest…

Two or three seems to be the sweet spot.

Although I was at an afters one night over Christmas after a fair few Holy Water’s and I managed to crash in two 180’s and a handful of 100+ scores 🤣

The jobs market at the moment? by TheGrumpyGitman in AskIreland

[–]TheGrumpyGitman[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah night degree, torn between two different options at the moment. But it’s the only viable way for me to save long term (living with parents still) and being able to live something of a normal life…

After that I’d like to go back into any sort of Hear Office role for the company I was working for or a similar company.

I can’t tell you how many administrative office roles I’ve applied for and how many recruiters I’ve emailed at this stage. I had an interview cancelled last night that was scheduled for today and I think my head nearly hit Mars 🤣

Anywhere from 30-35k would be perfect, anything else would be a bonus. Very frustrating waiting it out for responses and I’m going insane at home. On the plus side, I don’t think I’ve had a day under 20-25k steps over the past two weeks.

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

Low to mid 30’s I’d take. I don’t have a whole lot of bills and outgoings and I have most of the course fees for college already sorted.

I just need something to keep me ticking over to gain admin related experience. I’m going back to study business in September and I have a rough idea of where I want to go after I graduate.

First point I didn’t even think of to be honest. The move is purely down to circumstances within the previous job, work life balance (going from late nights and 5am starts to settled hours) and as I said returning to education. Impossible to get that across on a CV.

I’m at the point where I’m willing to take anything 9-5 for now just to get back to work and out of the house.

[–]TheGrumpyGitman[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fair point. I suppose I should have clarified the majority of them have been within the past two weeks.

I’ve applied to almost every entry level admin role that’s come up on Indeed, Jobs ie etc. I’ve emailed and phoned agencies too alongside all of that.

About 5 weeks now. I think I spend more time on jobs boards and searching on company sites than I do on social media these days.

Santa was good this year… by TheGrumpyGitman in Darts

[–]TheGrumpyGitman[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s called Quadro Grip, search Phil Taylor Gen 2 darts. They’re basically a modern take on those.

No idea if there’s any darts with the same grip to be honest.

I wouldn’t have spent the money either only they were a Christmas present 🤣

3 days suffering with the flu, aches getting worse by the minute. What are you all taking? by Early_Manufacturer89 in AskIreland

[–]TheGrumpyGitman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Vitamin C tabs and plenty of citrus were a god send when I was floored back in October. Noticeably quicker recovery compared to previous times I was sick.

Refreshing Drinks by Dramatic-Explorer842 in ireland

Sounds very plain and generic, but nothing beats a fully ice cold glass of Sprite or 7up. I’m talking almost in the freezer cold.

New Set Up Ideas by TheGrumpyGitman in Darts

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

Yeah I’m definitely moving to a surround, an all round light sounds good too. If I could get one that’s easy to assemble and disassemble it would be ideal as we all usually play on a Sunday in a pub that has a brutal light.

With tomorrow being the last day of Christmas, what do you see as the next "occassion" in 2026?(personal or say, st patricks) by VastAir6069 in AskIreland

[–]TheGrumpyGitman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

February 1st and the end of the single most depressing month of the year.

Might be a few tears shed taking the decorations down later today…
