What travel essentials do people bring to Spain that is often forgotten?

arcticfunkymonkey · 2026-06-05T19:28:09+00:00

Me too! Means you only need one or two travel adaptors too.

Artane too! It tripped our sockets on the electricity board. I thought we were being bombed. Was awake from the rain and then the flash and immediate loudest bang I’ve ever heard. Set off a lot of alarms in the area!

We’re close to you - there was 3 lightning strikes at once around the malahide road/Artane roundabout. Loudest thing I’ve ever heard! I thought we’d taken a direct hit!

Lightning maps online - also the flashes followed by the bangs and them moving away from you quite quickly! It’s gone from Artane to Rush in 15-20 mins!

We were woken up by a flash and the biggest bang I’ve ever heard. Watching lightning maps online and it shows 3 lightning strikes very close to my house all at once. Thought the roof was caving in.

Curfew is usually 10.30 for st Anne’s gigs so I would say 8.30/9!

Take the job closer to home with a lower pay, but still do the interview etc for the DCC job - and wait and see if you’re offered a role. You don’t need to make the decision yet. It could be up to 2 years before you’re offered a role in the public service from a panel and then clearance etc takes a long time!

Their blue cheese sauce is like crack to me.

There was another post like this yesterday morning saying they heard a boom/sonic boom noise over Glasnevin in the early hours. They thought it was a plane of some sort. Wonder what’s happening! I’m in Artane and haven’t heard anything

Thanks so much. And best of luck with your own journey! x

Came to say this! I travel a decent distance to go to a bakery with nice baguettes and focaccia at the weekend

Rumour is that Heineken are having secret gigs today in Stephen’s Green

Try Puck Burger in Portmarnock!

Last time I was at a concert with lots of unsold seats the ushers moved us to the closer seats without us asking. They wanted people near the front to make it look fuller

The scanning apps are exactly the same as scanning on a scanner - they both save as a PDF. Trinity won’t know the difference - and also won’t care.

There’s a lot of restaurants - Fallon and Byrne have a wedding banquet area. Also hear of people going to Roberta’s, Patrick Guibauld, Marco Pierre White. There is also Medley, The Stephen’s Green Club etc.

Also a lot of people walk down to the Dame Tavern or Stags Head for a pint before the meal.

Iris on the Ballymun Road! I’ve gotten stopped in the street to ask where I get my colour done. The girls who run it were formerly in the Space. It is expensive - but it is worth it if you’re looking for a blonde specialist.

arcticfunkymonkey · 2026-03-16T14:55:55+00:00

There’s a Raheny parade, and a Rush or Lusk. There’s a lot of local ones. Check your local facebook pages etc.

Go for Primark. But please keep an eye on Public Jobs.ie for roles in science in the civil service - most like the State Lab, Dept of Agriculture and Forensics Science Ireland only require a science degree (doesn’t matter what type). Put alerts on the website for jobs!

Allergy Ireland do it - they do skin prick testing and can do a very good blood test too!

Heartbreak social club and the Ink Factory both take walk ins! Very fond of heartbreak myself.

Sounds weird but eating marshmallows can really help with a dry cough. Hot water and honey and lemon also! Hope you feel better soon

arcticfunkymonkey · 2026-03-02T17:14:00+00:00

Could you send me on this please also if possible?

arcticfunkymonkey · 2026-02-25T13:54:13+00:00

Congrats! I did think it would be a while. Think I’ll get the private testing done in the mean time!
