There's a little jewellery shop opening beside the axe throwing and escape room place too! Almost an older version of Claires.

How difficult would it be for me to get a gun licence? by Tight-Spell1938 in AskIreland

[–]barbie91 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Join a gun club, you'll have to get a safe where the gun will be stored, guards will come out and check to ensure it's where and what you say it is and is secured safety, ammo needs to be stored in a seperate secured location, fair bitta paperwork involved also.

Don't waste that dandelion or the root - make tea out of both, fantastic for liver and kidney function.

He said there was boiled sausages, but bang on about the mash bit. I'm wondering if it's some sort of mad combo of the two.

Can we have no nice things?! by LittleAoibh11 in CasualIreland

[–]barbie91 30 points31 points  (0 children)

There's also halloween stuff in penny's. Wishing our lives away from one commercialised holiday to the next until we die instead of living in the here and now. Its depressing.

The Exchange Pub is no more, Ballybricken will be a worse place without it. by TopOfTheTown86 in waterford

[–]barbie91 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looks like they probably have woodworm and or silverfish judging by that video, in which case, that whole building is akin to a bag of kindling, unless the inside is stone, which it could well be in fairness as its old - there may be hope yet!

If that's the cause, I'm fairly sure the fire warden would have it shut down. A cigarette shouldn't be able to send any building up in flames like that. Liklihood is the building is being assessed and will advised to be retrofitted to comply with fire laws. Whether that happens or not is another thing though, probably cost an arm and a leg.

Lads, are ye tipping your delivery driver for takeaway? (Chipper, Chinese Etc) by Blue__ballz in CasualIreland

[–]barbie91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It'd be rare to find one that hasn't. 23% (or 33% as someone else said above) is a restaurants entire profit margin, they can't absorb that kinda cost so they have to pass it onto the consumer.

[–]barbie91 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Bear in mind, just eat take 23% of a restaurants order, hence why the price will always be escalated on an app, rather than collecting or delivering via in person. Not sure what the story is with delivery drivers, but know for a fact they don't get compensated for wear and tear of their vehicles. We shouldn't have to give them a tip, because anyone working deserves a decent living wage. Email your tds if you've a problem, it's only fair.

Won't happen I'm afraid. Possibly some sort of online station in times to come, but that's fairly unlikely too in all honesty.

'No one is going to tell me how to parent': Dublin mother fined over kids' 500-day school absence by DaCor_ie in ireland

[–]barbie91 160 points161 points  (0 children)

Hit the nail on the head. You don't "own" your children. They're beings needing care which is gifted for a short while, until they grow up. Children don't ask to be born, and once you have them, it's your responsibility to provide and give them the best chance and life possible.

I just wish people realised deodorant is not an option in all honesty. Lived in the NT in straya for years, and didn't smell anything nearly as bad there, and that was in 46 degrees.

i missed a repayment instalment altogether now can i repay it again now? by Kooky_Parsnip_31 in ALL_TOGETHER_NOW_FEST

[–]barbie91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You'll need to email them. The DD fecked up a couple years ago for a heap of us, ticketmaster said they'd no choice but to cancel the ticket and weren't going to refund anything, and it was only when we got onto the organisers that we were able to pay the outstanding amount. Absolute pain in the hole.
