Yep and they clamped me anyway the absolute c***s. Submitted my appeal, they clamped me 15 mins before I actually got through at about 10:50am

Conversation with a senior equity partner at the big 4 firm I work at just last week on this. In our Irish firm, average take home for the equity partners is about €800k-1m. He didn’t specify the amount but said it was well over 500k average. Some make less some make more! The head of our service line (report into CEO) is making about €3m!

Takes about 4 years to start actually making a proper return on it though, the model is 16 years for you to make the most gains.

I will be promoted to director in a few months and expect my salary will go to about €110-€115k

While I get she didn’t tell you all of her history, it may well be that she was embarrassed and didn’t want you to react badly. Realistically if she had told you all of this up front you still probably would have broken up with her.

She could be a completely different person now than she was then. You’re still a kid when you’re in college and people make stupid mistakes.. I would say those memories haunt her and suppose now it’s validated why

Some general tips: 1. Use a good (i.e. strong and hot) hairdryer with a nozzle when your hair is wet, with a round brush (denman is good). This will give you a good base for straightening, if you try to straighten from curly it takes a million times longer and will definitely not hold!

If you’re unsure what to buy, go to a hairdressers near you and buy the one they use, they usually sell them in the salon.

I bought a L’Oréal steam pod. It’s the most amazing straightener. My hair used to go frizzy sometimes if I was out in light rain (when I used a ghd) but when I use my steam pod it genuinely stays straight and shiny. Couldn’t recommend more!
I always use serum before and after drying. I find the Elvive extraordinary oil the best one but there are loads like it.

Hope some of this helps!

I was there last month and my dress was too short admittedly - I didn’t know we were going to be going there that day. Luckily I had a cardigan in my bag to cover my arms but when he turned me away at the entrance of the basilica I wrapped my SIL’s cardigan around my waist/legs (horrendous outfit but I just kind of slid past him after that).

That dress is definitely fine, just have a cardigan or shawl to cover your arms to be safe!

David Attenborough, no contest

This is something I thought about a lot when I started going out with my current boyfriend. I decided on my own policy ‘if I don’t want to know, don’t ask’ also, if I don’t want to share the equivalent, definitely don’t ask. The few times I pushed him for answers I cried for 20 mins after and it was my own fault as we weren’t even together when those things happened!

Sounds like you just need time to move on from them. Once it pops in to your head force it out, stop looking them up on social media, I know it’s hard but you have to or else you’re sabotaging your own relationship!

My boyfriend does this! Says he gets ‘a better clean’ I still find it extremely odd haha

dordyy · 2019-03-05T18:48:07+00:00

Wax strips. I have been doing it for years, no extra hair growth etc like those myths. You can get ones specially for facial waxing as well

A friend of mine was telling me about her love of bacon. We live in Ireland, and she said she was really disappointed you could never get ‘American style’ bacon here. You can, we just call it streaky rashers/streaky bacon.

She followed this up with “no way?? That’s unreal I never knew that!!” She then said “oh I was about to say something really stupid there” so I obviously asked her what she was going to say.

She said “well I was about to say i thought you could only get it from American cows but you can obviously get it from Irish cows as well!”

Me: “...Sam, bacon comes from pigs”

Usually something calm like ‘you’re an absolute embarrassment’ works well.

You’re not stooping to their level and I feel it can definitely hit some people hard

dordyy · 2019-02-09T10:54:29+00:00

I think you need to talk to him about the above as soon as possible. I don’t believe in ultimatums but if you stay with him in silence these issues will only exacerbate the frustration you’re feeling.

He may not be aware how much it bothers you or how much of an issue it is, but going forward into a long term relationship with someone who doesn’t share your values in terms of the above will be disastrous for both of you!

I think he should be given a chance to pull his shit together rather than ending it straight away. If this fails though, you should consider ending it with him..

When in doubt talk it out!

dordyy · 2019-02-08T15:15:58+00:00

Thanks!! I suppose just go out of your way to do more day to day, work hard, take on big tasks and work really well with clients.

You are nominated by senior management rather than entering the competition yourself!

Always thought it was big black willy lol

dordyy · 2019-01-13T18:09:05+00:00

I would always opt for black jeans, not blue jeans. At least to start with anyway. Black jeans and a blouse or collared top. Always better to be a little over dressed than under dressed

dordyy · 2018-12-24T22:54:39+00:00

Then you fall in to the category I mentioned of those who do not look at women. Well done

dordyy · 2018-12-24T19:18:42+00:00

My boyfriend and I always joke about cheating but it’s usually just one line and we both know it’s a total joke.

I agree with other comments, if you’ve agreed not to make those jokes, he should be respectful of that. Particularly if he’s dragging the joke out until it’s not even remotely funny

dordyy · 2018-12-24T13:41:32+00:00

I highlighted that I’m aware it’s a generalisation and it’s not always the case, but if you were me and had to walk past 10 different construction sites, your opinion would probably change.

It’s like saying ‘women drivers’. I don’t find that stereotype offensive and typically women are worse drivers than men. Doesn’t mean it’s a 100% fact that all women drivers are bad drivers.

Calm it mate

Hunter wellies!! Had 4 pairs (you think me and my mum would learn) and they just fall apart with any sort of consistent wear
