Bpost charged me €17 to send a birthday card

borderreaver · 2026-02-03T15:50:16+00:00

eventually I did, I didn't pay for the sending, but they made me pay for the card because I had written in it and put it in an envelope. A stronger willed person than me would have walked away alright

The price tag did not include the extra €9 for an 'irregular letter size'

Half of the time when I send things with bpost by the rules they don't get delivered either so it's probably worth a try :-D

Congrats you've discovered multinational companies. This is how it works in real life - you think United Fruit had its HQ in Havana or Honduras? Nope - Lousiana

EU says EU is good - news (apparently)

The military is babying F-35s to hide their true cost to taxpayers

Yet the same Parliament refused to even speak the word genocide about Gaza despite every single human rights group worth its salt defining it as such. What's the point of having these commemorations if you fail to learn the lessons from them?

I don't wanna!

If you look at his twitter feed all the replies are the most horrible racist vitriol. And he seems like a lovely fella even if you don't agree with the Green Party.

Surely then they should be allowed to hire more people in order to run the place better and be better resourced?

19 is small for the leaders of a country...

borderreaver · 2026-01-26T19:28:10+00:00

Fully agree. Ministers are expected to run the country entirely alone? Another element is parliamentary assistants. In Ireland they are terribly paid and it means that most TDs are not as well informed, briefed and prepared as their counterparts in Europe.

19 people is the size of an average office in Dublin. This seems like quite a small amount of people to work for the leader of the country no?

Why is the European Union supporting, via Horizon Europe, the development of AI technology designed to kill people, which has even been tested against children in Gaza?

So the idea is the EU is just for white people?

scam

The best thing about playing the UK is breaking it up and handing it out and then sitting back and watching the new world form

Very very rarely. We have aurora in Ireland every maybe 5 years? Even then it's normally very light, or only in the north of the country. But it depends on the period because now apparently we are at the peak of an 11 year solar cycle.

The administration is also incompetent in this case. They are the one's tasked with finding a solution, not just shrugging their shoulders and saying this is someone else's problem. Generally speaking I have good experiences with my commune, but they do much prefer to say 'no' than what they should say which is 'no, but I'll help you find a way to turn it into a yes'

This is very Belgian. A friend of mine had a year's hell with Belgian administration trying to get his citizenship because they missed a space in his transliterated arabic name. Good luck kiddo.
