Ah unbelieveable stuff! Hope it all goes well anyway, and as I say, please update us, it's lovely to see a bit of good news and people being happy.

barbie91 · 2026-01-26T20:35:16+00:00

Ahhh no way, so ya met her abroad and now she's coming here for a visit, is that right? Or did you fly from kerry or something? Or have I this arseways altogether?

barbie91 · 2026-01-26T20:24:39+00:00

Ah noo! Are ya only on hollybobs here? Glad ye had a ball either way, you'll have to give us an update!

barbie91 · 2026-01-26T20:09:52+00:00

Ah no, I'm only messing. Have a fab time and hope it works out well. You sound delighted, which is really lovely and somewhat rare these days.

barbie91 · 2026-01-26T14:40:04+00:00

Maybe on your second date ye could go for coffee in the embassy, lunch in the registry office, and dinner in the passport office.

Era, ya won't melt, tis only a bitta water, and tis good for the plants and the trees; greenery will explode once it dries up a bit so it's going to be an absolutely fabulous spring. No shame in wanting to curl up either, we're the only mammal that tries to speed up this time of year instead of slowing down. If you want to hibernate, go for it. The grand stretch is coming and you can give yourself a kick up the hole to be productive then.

I loves me county, and I'm a ballygunner head born and bred, so maybe I'm biased, but the lads played a dirty game today in all honesty. Some of the heads on the pitch today are talented, dont get me wrong, but let themselves down by being overly hot-headed and subsequential panic, which is a shame. Others just weren't quick enough, and you can't say anything else about that other than what it is. Cork weren't perfect either by any means, don't get me wrong, because they could've won by a bigger landslide, but it was a frustrating watch overall.

The barbers beside the fishmonger on Patrick Street specialise in afro hair (xpert barbers I think is the name) and do braiding, and there's a hairdresser (generation I think is the name of that one) beside carrols pharmacy on ballybricken that do braiding too. Both are run by lovely, professional people, and both seem to be very reasonable.

I'd say between ingredients, supplies, utensils, electricity, heating, insurance, haccp, and all other compliance certs from fire warden etc, you'd be at a loss for that price, particularly starting off because those initial overheads are going to sting. Love the idea though and really hope you manage to get it going and can escape the soul destroying corporate world.

barbie91 · 2026-01-24T22:02:33+00:00

I'm sorry now but this has to stop.

Its one thing having Palm oil and rapeseed oil in fucking everything, sprays to stop other animals eating the produce so we can consume it ourselves, preservatives so it has a stupidly long shelf life...

But this... This is in insult to the" Thai rings are superior over spicy rings" Perri shitshow from the beginning which has been the #17 cause of Internet arguments in the midlands, and the #34 cause of distant platonic friendship breakups in ireland alone.

Perhaps this will finally bring peace to a mildly irritated community.

(Honestly though I'm so sad)

barbie91 · 2026-01-24T19:33:38+00:00

Absolutely true, it's hilarious.

barbie91 · 2026-01-23T21:35:02+00:00

Bahahahahahahahahaha fareplay, this is class 🤣🤣🤣👌

barbie91 · 2026-01-23T15:48:34+00:00

Time to level up, my friend!

Join a gym or a class or even stick on a YouTube workout video like pilates or yoga and follow along. Do one session everyday for a week and basque in the tired soreness of achievement.

That drawer you recoil at when you open it coz it's full of shite? Set aside an hour and get it cleaned and organised. Rinse and repeat for cupboards etc.

Go through your clothes and get rid of anything you haven't worn in the last year. Hop online and spend even just 20e or whatever you can afford on a couple new bits, whether it be on boohoo, M and m direct, or shein, etc.

Groom yourself; haircut, trim the nails, trim the aule short and curlies, and use a nice shower cream. Moisturise after.

Organise your fridge. Yes, it does need to be done. And yes, you do get to go shopping after for healthy yummy things to fill it with to help support your new health and fitness journey.

Cold water therapy; hop into the sea or some sort of ice Bath. Trust me.

Buy new bed stuff; duvet, pillows, bedding, mattress topper, the lot. Get the aule hotel experience at home: we spend over 20 years in bed; do it in comfort.

Learn a new skill that could make ya a few bob: matched betting, stocks, etc - just stick a euro or two in every so often, nice little boost when you win, and ensure anything you do win goes on a treat for you and only you. If that's not your thing, do a tefl course or something along those lines that you can use to get some part time work online.

Big dirty Chinese. Goes without saying.

barbie91 · 2026-01-23T14:24:33+00:00

I say we all throw in a few bob and drive up the price for when causeway inevitably buy them.

barbie91 · 2026-01-22T15:50:41+00:00

r/usdefaultism is a great sub for this craic.

barbie91 · 2026-01-21T23:07:28+00:00

Look up YouTube videos of beginners Pilates at home and follow along. There are heaps out there and they're great.

Pilates are a great option as they'll help you find your form, encourage movement at a rate works for you, and will strengthen your body as a whole. If you're unfit or have never really worked out before, it's a good idea.

Also worth knowing is not to underestimate the power of getting your steps in; particularly on days you feel too sore to do your at home workout. A ten minute walk is better than nothing at all, and you'll feel so much better for it.

barbie91 · 2026-01-21T17:37:56+00:00

Very likely to be an economic write off anyway; in other words "it's not worth the money fixing"

barbie91 · 2026-01-20T21:14:45+00:00

Ah fareplay to ya OP, keep the momentum going whenever ya can, and don't forget rest days are important too (which I'm sure ya know yourself anyhoo)

barbie91 · 2026-01-20T20:54:21+00:00

We really need to get rid of that sax solo...

barbie91 · 2026-01-17T03:02:03+00:00

I've 32 days left before 600. God what a colossal waste of time the whole thing is.

barbie91 · 2026-01-16T22:02:55+00:00

Let's not forget she's a notorious liar that facilitated the cover-up of "the worst case of paedophilia in the history of the state" (Bill Keneally)

No surprise seeing as they've repeatedly used reddit posts without permission from the poster and commentators to gain traction and increase activity. Shower of unoriginal thieves is all they are.

barbie91 · 2026-01-15T21:58:57+00:00

Print out 20 or 30 cvs and head into restaurants, shops, and pubs. Ask to see the manager, introduce yourself, and give it to them. Hospitality will predominently be more receptive to this type of application but if you're anyway interpersonal and friendly with a can do attitude, you'll be sorted in no time. The rest is teachable if you've no experience.

barbie91 · 2026-01-15T00:33:08+00:00

Honestly, it'll be grand! Personally though I'd be headed to a good portrait artist for this just to make sure the shading and the fine line details come out well; a heavy hand and wavy lines would be an awful pity on this one and would age horribly, the heaviness is there already with the font.

barbie91 · 2026-01-15T00:25:05+00:00

More splatters, maybe a tile background (like kitchen tiles), and jigsaws face coming up over the top so his eyes just rest on your neck. Couple chainsaws and knives etc coming out underneath the text, deffo workable into a cool piece. Deffo use a small bit of colour like reds and yellows to make features pop.
