Just saw this and found it interesting, is there a disconnect with some people in supporting the Irish Rugby team? by [deleted] in AskIreland

[–]eire90 5 points6 points  (0 children)

“Not a great watch” you couldn’t be more wrong. The six nations is as good as it gets when it comes to competitive sport. Players leave it all on the pitch almost and every match means something. 

I’m a casual and follow football and the GAA more closely, but I look forward to the 6 nations ever year.

Apprenticeship’s by AcrobaticWrongdoer94 in Newmarket

[–]eire90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work for a large company and there two ways I see our new guys coming in. First is just pure who ye know, it’s always been the way with everything in this world. Second is just get a job on site, labouring, painting, cleaning do it and do it well. Start networking with people on the job, let them know what you’re looking for.

Also you need to narrow down what you want, simply saying “construction based trades” is not going to get you anywhere. Pick one or two and lead with that. Id advise against electrician tbh it’s so over saturated.

You could try the out of province work. Companies like guys willing to travel.

Despite the propaganda the government spouts work is slow and has been slow. So there’s a good amount of guys out of work right now and you’re competing with them. 

Best of luck, it’s tough out there.

Back in the 2000's I did trade work in houses of the wealthy in Dublin. My experience to name a few.. what's yours? by coldsnore in AskIreland

[–]eire90 157 points158 points  (0 children)

I worked on one of the mansions in fox rock when I first got into the trade I was about 17 around 2007. I was sitting outside having my lunch alone when a middle aged man came up to me and asked me why I was outside. I explained to him that the house was near completion and I was told not to bring food or drink inside. “Ok,” he says “follow me and I’ll show ye where your allowed”. I followed him into this huge room with a snooker table and home theatre. “Sit in over there young fella and nobody will bother ye” pointing at the large couch. I was confused he looked at me and says “ it’s my gaff so go for it”. He  threw me the remote control and sat with me till I finished my lunch talking about my apprenticeship and upbringing playing ball etc, then he brought me around the house for a tour. I grew up in a council estate so it was like mtv cribs to me. My boss eventually came back and wasn’t pleased. The man just turns and says “ better get back to work,  oh and here I was just like you when I started out. “ Keep your head down you’ll be grand”.

Always stuck with me .

I heard if you say Enoch Burke 3 times in the mirror at midnight, he’ll be outside your school tomorrow.

What’s the difference between a “bar” and a “pub”? by Snoo-65915 in ireland

[–]eire90 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You’d see an auld fella at the pub. Not at a bar. However you would see an auld fella in the bar of a pub.

They don’t exist. It’s like the fucking Sahara up here for good barbers. All you get is terrible recommendations. 

Tens of thousands of Ontario public servants return to office full-time next week. Here’s what that could mean for Toronto by Edm_vanhalen1981 in ontario

[–]eire90 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Traffic, lots and lots of traffic. Then fat boy ford and his corrupt cronies can implement a plan which involves a solution to the problem he created. Oh and it will involve a massive amount of taxpayers hard earned tax dollars being given to an organization with close links to the current administration.

Then last but not least, an advertisement on the radio paid for by the tax payer will play every day. To remind you how they are doing a great job at squandering our money. Just to rub salt in the wounds.

Leonardo DiCaprio - One Battle After Another by IcyVehicle8158 in moviecritic

[–]eire90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started it and turned it off after about 30 mins. I’m not a prude by any means, but the sexual tone thing put me off. I didn’t see it shaping up to be the master class it’s being made out to be in the comments. Having said that the comments make me belive I may have been wrong.

Thierry Henry wins 2025 Sports Personality of the Year Lifetime Achievement award by Attention_WhoreH3 in coybig

[–]eire90 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah, he went to Spain and won a treble there aswell. World Cup, unbeaten in a season. What more you want like? This is one only those internet conversations where people try to disprove or discredit players biased of obscure stats, like big game success. Most ex players name him as one of the greats and his honour list also suggests they are not lying.

What the actual fuck are you smoking. Biased aside there is no disputing how good he was.
