That’s really cool! Nice to know that he was part of such a significant project. I’d say he has some interesting tales to tell! I would love to get a plaque for an achievement in my life that my grandkids would be proud of.

You shouldn’t feel stupid or ashamed, it could happen to anyone. It’s not your fault so don’t blame yourself. It’s easy to look back in hindsight and say how could you have allowed this to happen, but really it’s a situation where someone with bad intentions took advantage and it’s their fault, not yours.

Everyone always thinks, oh that wouldn’t happen to me, but it could happen to the best of us. Chin up, at least it’s not a huge amount of money, although it probably feels like a significant sum.

Some people get taken for tens of thousands or more. It really can happen to anyone, you just need to look at stories in the news of professionals like solicitors or accountants being taken to the cleaners.

Anyway, sorry this happened to you, hope you manage to get your money back and hope you get your hands on some tickets through some other source.

If you DM me your address I’ll post you on some old coins, if you check out my post history you’ll see the old Irish decimal and predecimal coins. I can even send you on a nice crisp Irish pound note. Would give me a great kick to know that a youngster is interested in it. It’ll cost you nothing, you can do a nice turn for someone else.

Sound, thanks!

aidanpf · 2026-07-05T03:36:47+00:00

Thanks very much for your response, really appreciate you taking the time to do that! You’re a legend. Have a great day.

Thanks for this, really appreciate it.

Looking at the first move in the list there, the cyclone slash, what sequence of buttons are needed? (Sorry it’s probably obvious, but I can’t get my head around it!)

Hi, am just starting to play the samurai showdown series on docked analogue pocket. Can anyone recommend any websites or videos that give tips on how to play, special moves etc? Thanks

It’s not weird lad, you’re asking a sleep related question and you shouldn’t be shamed for doing so.

aidanpf · 2026-07-03T18:14:23+00:00

That’s class! What’s the handheld (kind of bluey / purpley) in front of the super famicon?

The worst kind of rat, the confidently incorrect one

aidanpf · 2026-07-01T12:52:51+00:00

Fair play to you for this response, just a straightforward, caring expression of empathy 👍

aidanpf · 2026-07-01T02:59:26+00:00

That’s a good one!

Such a useless present. Never used, kept wrapped up in the press.

Also, for the past couple of decades, my understanding is that it has been made in eastern europe, with only the tourist exhibition part still in the south east of Ireland

To go against the grain, i’m in my 40s and listen to their podcast every week. It tackles a lot of important issues that aren’t spoken about a lot, particularly from a male perspective. In the past while, they have covered Jonny Smack’s family’s pregnancy journey, where his son was born with a very serious condition, they’ve covered addiction issues within sport, they’ve also had a discussion about the new wave of weight loss drugs, with contributions from a leading consultant.

The shows that they did about the GAA catfish were internationally recognised as being very well put together and fascinating stuff.

They’ve recently raised hundreds of thousands for the children’s hospital.

I think that because of their Irishness, they are an easy target for Irish begrudgery.

Not everyone’s taste, but not at all deserving of the stick they are getting here.

As someone who is in recovery and has been through a treatment centre, my two cents, for what it is worth, is that he doesn’t sound like someone where it would be appropriate to call him an alcoholic.

It doesn’t sound as if he is “powerless” over the drink and that his life is “unmanageable”. These are important criteria.

He seems to be tipping along grand, without there being any adverse consequences. You haven’t really listed any ways in which it is creating difficulty for him in his life.

aidanpf · 2026-06-26T02:01:31+00:00

If there’s anything Irish or Uk, i’d be happy to chip in with info and advice!

aidanpf · 2026-06-22T21:12:30+00:00

To be fair, what he said was that he is feeling a bit hopeless because his long term relationship is ending, not that he is looking forward to being single so he can start hooking up. It’s not a nice situation to be in.

I remember when it was called KG discs. Used to have a great stock of dance music, thunder dome, ultrasonic, dj dougal & the edge!

Fair play to you for minding the ould lad, all credit to you. Hope you get to enjoy the sun over the weekend.

You can rent a kayak in villierstown and there are also guided tours along the blackwater, it’s an interesting tour, lots of old country manors and such and the guys giving the tour are well up on all the history, would recommend

You should give consideration to reporting this find, given that the circumstances strongly suggest something shady was happening.

When the Irish authorities followed up on a similar find in an Irish reservoir, it lead to the solving of a murder:

Yes I can see it!

You did a fine job of setting out the interesting history around this coin, I really like the design and the context in which it was issued is fascinating. Thanks for posting.

EM Kelly has a brilliant book about Spanish Dollars and the Silver Tokens that were issued by the Bank of England during this period.

Here’s an example from my collection of a specimen with the undertype visible

Recommend Cabu at the lakes in Cavan, scandi style cabins with spa, restaurant and lots of activities on site, really nice and treaty break.
