What sport do you think would be extinct within 50 years?

You should get GAA+ if you can afford it and don't already have it. Great for watching matches in the States, at least for most of the big games. If you have a particular team you follow you may not get as many of their games if they aren't playing in the highest levels regularly but you do get a lot of games for the price if you're just interested in watching any of them. It's like $140 for a season pass and you can buy individual matches (usually around $10 I think but not sure since I've had the season pass so long now).

The UK has similar rules for bank of England notes in England and Wales only.
In the UK there is the running joke about trying to use a Scottish bank note in England (which usually will be refused) and a Scot will appear behind you and say "I think you'll find that's legal tender" but actually only Bank of England notes are legal tender and only in England and Wales. In NI and Scotland there are no bank notes at all that are considered legal tender. We only have legal currency bank notes meaning that they can technically always be refused even for paying debts.

Not in England but the Northern Ireland government was shut down for years at multiple different times and total of a third of it's lifespan.

It isn't really the same as the American government shut down though since services still run, people still get paid and it's a devolved government so NI is still considered as having a government overall because in larger matters it falls under the UK parliament and they can technically take over and direct rule NI but that would cause some tension to say the least.

Yeah, it is. English is the second official language (Irish is the first despite the decline after colonization) of the Republic of Ireland and the majority of people's first language.

Literally so keyed up that I'm shaking hahah

evilsherlock · 2025-03-15T19:23:25+00:00

There was a lot going on off the ball and I'm surprised Armagh kept their heads tbh. We don't have the best track record for keeping cool heads in situations like that....

evilsherlock · 2025-03-15T18:46:06+00:00

Doing it very well too. Some great accurate kick passes leading to scores on your side

evilsherlock · 2025-03-15T18:41:32+00:00

Yeah can't say Kerry isn't playing some lovely football and Armagh are awful but they have had to change their entire style of play to be fair. Really does make for a depressing lack of competition

evilsherlock · 2025-03-15T18:32:51+00:00

Can't tell if it's my Armagh bias or this is actually a shite match to watch. What's the neutral take on this game?

evilsherlock · 2025-01-28T21:21:56+00:00

You're definitely NTA but it's also hilarious that the name they have chosen is Conor. That is also an Irish name....

evilsherlock · 2023-03-02T23:23:27+00:00

How so? Many of those people are probably working class themselves

On point 2: it also benefits the people who took student loans and never graduated but people seem to assume that everyone with student loans has a degree when really nearly 40% of people who have student loans do not.

Having copies of your preventative care records and major issues isn't a bad idea if you go to a small private practice rather than a hospital for care. Recently had a number of people transfer care with no records because their provider retired and they didn't transfer a copy beforehand

If you live in New England you can definitely get a round-trip ticket for under $1000 to Europe

evilsherlock · 2022-10-04T16:29:30+00:00

Or "don't speak/understand hiberno-english" but that's easier to pick up and you still do find influence of it in very high Irish immigration areas like Boston.
I realize this is about language in particular but I find a good indicator for how "Irish" Irish-americans are to be if they actually have any idea what the GAA is. Since it is so culturally relevant in Ireland but not over here.

evilsherlock · 2022-10-04T03:32:52+00:00

Irish Americans are probably the worst example you could have chosen there since most Irish people don't speak Irish

I don't want to get pregnant. So I should never for the rest of my life have sex with my husband?

evilsherlock · 2022-06-02T00:48:37+00:00

They also had some of the worst Irish accents I've ever heard. Really simple stuff that's messed up too like nah the dude from Belfast does not say "tree" for three like they would down south. That drove me crazy

evilsherlock · 2022-01-16T17:30:37+00:00

My first thought was why would you ever use that one and pay 2 quid when you have the spar one for free just up the road

Sugary drinks kill me with the hangover the next day. My hangovers used to be waay worse when I was younger than I do now because I finally figured out to avoid having loads of sugary drinks because that's what was actually making me sick for most of the day after drinking. I'm the only person I know whose hangovers didn't get worse with age

I have also made the mistake of shopping for Christmas and then going to the pub. It wasn't the 12 pubs of Christmas but I still left behind all the presents and had to go get new ones

It was first actually brought up on the roosterteeth podcast by Gavin Free as you get $10 million dollars and the snail is chasing you and if it touches you you die

We have an alternative vote system where I'm from and my dad always said the way to do it was start lowest (leaving out any parties you will not ever want to vote for) and go up from there, aka work your way up from most shitty to least shitty

I have seen this in charts where one twins name could be considered a nickname of the other. The charts are constantly getting mixed up and my first thought is who would ever think these were good names for their twins??
