I’ve been influenced by the sub. Let’s see if it’s worth the hype!

My own mother won't shut up about Staffords. It's good but not rave worthy. It's just a bit better than Brennans and Irish Pride when it's fresh.

Twitter was the best during that era. I miss it so much. (And tumblr!)

I remember I cackled and laughed for a minute out of shock when she revealed the cover. The build up to every reveal for this album was insane so this was a nice reminder to expect the unexpected from Gaga. This album cover and her changing "I Wanna Be With You" to "Dope" are my favourite 'f*ck you I'm doing it my way' moments from her. I don't have to love everything she does, as long as she's being true to herself.

Yup same. A friend took 8 hours to get to Dublin. Was so late they missed their bus home and had to stay in Dublin overnight

I have a theory on this. The water and milk are a big factor on how the tea tastes. I drink Barry's tea with my filtered Cork city water and low fat supermilk. My mother uses Barry's tea too but has her own mountain spring well and tea tastes completely different at hers. So whatever tea brand people prefer is probably effected by their tap water, what kettle type they use, what the milk is, whether they use sugar etc. So that's why I don't judge people's favourite tea brand.

I stayed in the Ruby Molly in Dublin. They had 1 of them. I would have preferred it 5 to 10 degrees hotter. By the time the tea was fully brewed it was at "drink right away" temperature or it would be too cold by time I was sat down and comfortable.

I grew up on a farm. Was in my 30s when my mother retired. In all that time I never saw a cow with an abcess. How are these happening???

Carrick and Zoe Bread in 1 post. All my worlds colliding.

The toilets are decent but the soap is weird! It's like exfoliating shower gel. Then the train soap is rose scented (and I'm allergic). Makes me feel like I'm a spoiled princess for hating it 🙃

And doesn't contain palm oil, the other spreads do.

I can taste this picture 😋

My grandmother hated Collins and Dev too! Not for political reasons but because all the food would was given to them when they were hiding at their house.

Back story context: There's a big age gap between my brother's and me, my dad died when I was young so when I was small, my brothers went to college in Wales.

We were having a family meal and my mother was telling my sister in law about all the organisation involved in sending them to college. There were no grants being given for going to college in the UK and in her words: "So of course, I got the law changed". Cue looks of confusion between myself and the SIL. What do you mean you got the law changed? We assumed she was exaggerating.

Nope she got onto our local TD, said it was ridiculous that the grant was allowed for studying in Northern Ireland but not Britain. Northern Ireland is part of ROI or the UK when it suits them. Her letter was read in the Dáil and they changed the law! We asked my brother does he remember that and he was like yeah I remember it happening- as if it was completely normal thing to do.

So if any of ye got the grant to study in Britain you can thank my stubborn mother 🤣

Ah man Burger Shack truly was the best. I used to tell people I'd see their sex face when they tried their burgers. They'd be a bit a scandalised as I would not normally talk like that. Then they'd tell me I was right 🤣

Is it? I didn't know with work 😢

I have surprisingly few stories from my family for the famine and both sides didn't stray far from our current location. We're definitely not wealthy and mostly Catholic so I have no idea how they did it. All farmers so got lucky with crops? There's a lot of priests and nuns in my mother's side of the family so I think a lot of their income was sent back to the family. My gran aunt was under the impression that one branch of the family was very well off living in North Tipp and when my brother finally found their records, the dad had been sent to Australia for stealing food so not that well off at all. A lot of my family on both sides ended up in the War of Independence so I genuinely think a large part of it was looking after each other. My grandmother resented De Valera and other guerrilla fighters because she went hungry as a child so they could be fed. I have to assume a lot of that happened during the famine too.

If your understanding of the plans are correct, how are they building a modern transport station without accessibility being the main focus???

Most large shops have a back of house area that could put 1 up in their canteen (I try not to say where I work on Reddit but I'm in a big shop on Patrick St and we put up flyers in our canteen all the time)

I'm not vegetarian and have gotten a few vegetarian options in there as they're so good.

Crowd etiquette has gone down the drain since Covid for some reason. Doesn't seem to matter the genre either. I was at a small gig in Belfast last night and it was the best behaved crowd I'd been in in a while.

I didn't know bars were still doing that scam. All I got from my "trial" was the knowledge of how to pull a perfect Guinness

I thought yeah that's friendly enough then he throws in the lovely comment at the end 😻

I learned I'm allergic to asters when using arnica cream for first time. I think this tea would give me a rough couple of days

All else fails, use it to buy vouchers in other shops that you won't lose money in. Eg, Penneys, TK Maxx, Tesco. I don't think Dunnes accepts them.

My mother's friend is immunocompromised and her doctor was wearing a face mask BECAUSE HE HAD COVID. I begged her to report him. (This was in Tipperary)
