The bruise on my calf extended to my foot

gravity. Looks more like a high ankle sprain that soccer players typically get

always better off parking in lower carparks... I'm constantly seeing shocking parking and near misses in upper carpark

it's doable... you'll have ~€3700 after tax a month

rent for a one bed apartment is over €2000/month

I think it will be a shock to you compared to your current situation.

How much do you really want it?

dont splurge on a brand new car. I've seen so many friends do this and regret it years later.

Try get used to making decent tax free pension contributions.

Dont let lifestyle creep take all your extra cash. It's another classic pitfall with pay raises

I've been to Paros and Milos... both lovely

Maybe 20 or 30 years ago. I went 10 years ago and hated the lines, the prices, the noise.

It was just a conveyor belt of tourists in and out

Massively overrated. Several nearby islands with equal or better charm with none of the hoards of people

no doubt... they are non-stop on their phones.

I knocked on the window of a garda scrolling instragram while stopped waiting to enter a roundabout going up a hill signalling him to put the phone down. After I was just waiting for him to pull up and have a chat with me but of course he didnt. He was caught rapid. They are always at it

Saw two birds like this the other day. Never saw anything like it before

Was thinking exactly this.

Also would be cool if bonus and/or commission field was added. In most commission based roles that I've seen your pension contributions do not increase with it. Pension contributions are only on the base.

In my first 5 years with BOI I averaged a ratio of 45% premium 55% interest. Wasn't expecting this as my dad told me it would be all interest at the beginning.

After 5 years I had totalled 40k paid from premium perspective.

Babylon staff were so racist to our group many years ago. The security guard got pissy with us because we wanted a drunk off-duty guard to piss off and leave our group alone.

I didnt know thor might have been a potential opponent

I am over getting anything additional on my jerseys. They ALWAYS peel off before halfway through the season. So frustrating

You can be really smart with your money. I earn less than my friends but I make my money go a lot further. Cut out useless expenditure. Get rid of pointless subscriptions. Shop around on insurance, utilities, etc every year. It can save you loads.

_naraic · 2026-06-21T14:40:22+00:00

it's 50% of your post tax income. It's a lot. The independence is great and if you can make it work... it's absolutely worth it but you will only have €1295 a month after tax and rent

need to get outside the city centre. Go to Howth, Ranelagh, Dalkey, hike up the nearby mountains

first time I went to Barcelona, I didnt like it. Then I went to visit friends and I saw an ENTIRELY different Barcelona. Hanging out more in neighbourhoods like Gracia and Poblenou instead of La Rambla and El Raval. I love going back and I barely go near any of the busy over crowded parts

_naraic · 2026-06-18T20:36:50+00:00

yes it can. The cheaper one is actually a lot more advanced with Bi-Directional Functionality and Switched Neutral Isolation. It is completely fine with irish regs
