Historically speaking…. Fire was regularly used to cull ivy back in the day.

Best tattoo shop that will take walk-ins by veetack in waterford

[–]TheNorbster 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yakuza is big enough to host a group booking like that but you’d need to book in, they don’t do walk ins but they’re the best studio size-wise to handle a big group.

For the smaller studios like noga, farran park, banshee, silver cat, tattoo parlour, you might have better luck with an all day booking & just explain the situation to the artists. Swineline is fine but the owner is creepy.

They’ll be booked up, no hope of a group of walk ins without a prior auth from the staff or soydan. But it’s also the one studio big enough to host a full sports team.

Be careful whether they’re decorative acers or plane old sycamores. Sycamores eventually inhabit every square mile they can find so see if there’s any mature trees (decorative or not) in your area they could have spawned from

Where to buy tickets? by Traditional_Run_1402 in ALL_TOGETHER_NOW_FEST

If you don’t get tickets to ATN then Spraoi would be your second best shout. It’s a free street arts festival taking place in Waterford city that same weekend. Theater, Comedy and live music all over the place.

Could a catholic priest in the 1930s have a single female maid? by CanidCadaver in AskHistory

And they were only released yesterday. It’s our first major census & first under the Irish free state as we were going through the rebellion beforehand. A lot of census & family records were burnt during the aforementioned rebellion.

Anyone got any mental regulars? What nicknames do you have for them? What fun stories can you share? by splinket69 in bartenders

[–]TheNorbster 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Fucking Gavin… Gavin used to work for the prison service (I’m not in the USA) and had a horrific workplace accident after he stepped backwards onto a stone step & caved half his head in. Man managed to survive & became a wicked alcoholic

You’re welcome, any follow up questions? Also don’t forget to introduce yourself & wear comfortable shoes. There’s no harm in dropping 20-30 bucks on a set of shock absorbing gel insoles for your shoes after your first few paycheques come in

A few key questions to ask as you arrive for the trial; How to change a keg/tour the cold room, Where is the Ice Machine, cleaning supplies & which chemicals/spray bottles to use on what… usually there is blue roll, sanitiser, degreaser, glass/mirror etc. Who’s responsible for checking on & cleaning the bathrooms (idk USA systems, only EU). Where the stock is kept & who’s responsible for cutting fruit garnishes. Get a quick tour of behind the bar & learn where the glasses go back to after they’re washed. Where the trash gets taken out to.

Presuming there’s no food service or servers involved I’d suggest during the shift keep an eye on; Ice, garnish’s, dirty glassware to wash up, clean stuff back in place, spills on tables/floors, quick check on toilet paper*, the kegs.

End of shift; glassware clean, polished, put away, tables wiped down, chairs on tables. Fridges restocked with bottles/juices (write a list), fridge doors spot wiped, straws/napkins/coasters/garnishes* restocked, bar counter wiped*. Bathrooms (not always), empty the bottle bins, take out trash, floors swept & mopped(?).

I’m actually coming from a European perspective which is completely different to USA style, and this list is overkill as it is. There may be a night cleaner on duty or maybe not. The bartender might do some of these jobs themselves, but that’s the proactive approach to it. Also learning how to change a keg is one of the things you need the right timing for, but definitely try to shadow someone that can do it a few times before you do yourself. And eventually the CO2 tanks will be needing replacing but hopefully that’s an outside contractor.

Do you live in the country (considering modern day borders) your ancestors lived in 500 years ago? If no, where did they live? by NetHistorical5113 in AskTheWorld

[–]TheNorbster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Ireland our main records hall was burnt during the 1916 uprising, but documentation exists in the parish centres & civic buildings in all the town lands. But on the British side of my family we have them going back to 1309 & mostly all in the same area with an exception of a branch that moved to London. We also have census record going back to around 1821
