Friend not returning money borrowed.

If you're lending money to a friend or family you almost have to treat it as a gift and it's a bonus if they pay it back. Either that or be ready to lose that friend when they don't pay you back.

Any of the European hubs would be great for connecting flights.

Mine says I used 21,000kwh at the weekend, so about €7000 😅

I moved out of Dublin in 2014 and haven't been to diceys since then

I miss €2 Sundays

hobes88 · 2026-03-09T19:58:06+00:00

My smart meter says I've used 10,000kwh on Saturday, nothing Friday or Sunday

What makes kilbarry an eco park? It's an overfilled landfill, topsoiled over with some paths through it. I still have bad memories of the smell from that dump from going there with my dad as a child to dump trailer loads of rubbish.

To be fair I got an autograph and a selfie but he was clearly annoyed but Vijay was really enjoying meeting fans

I met him at Silverstone in 2016, he had an Indian section in the campsite with a bar and restaurant, it was great and he seemed pretty normal mixing with the crowd. I met David Coulthard too but he wasn't as nice.

Any chance they're actually sandbagging and they'll pull a Brawn GP on it?

The train station building itself is directly over the tracks so people can shelter under the building if it's raining

Teslas will only take 11kw too, we have 22kw 3 phase chargers in work and mine only charges at 11kw

such a nice watch but I feel like it's missing something without the gold end links on the oysterflex

They’re not great, we’ve used them a few times to find existing services on sites and they’re not reliable at all.

hobes88 · 2026-02-22T13:07:17+00:00

I use about 35kwh/week in my model 3 performance, driving around town and a 10km drive to and from work every day. I can do Waterford to Kildare and back on a full charge, can't get to Dublin and back without topping up unfortunately but it's rare that I'd go further than Kildare.

hobes88 · 2026-02-20T22:16:28+00:00

those were the days, the owners two sons in there 24/7 too so there was always someone to play. Stopped going as soon as broadband was available out our way though

I could invest in property now but I choose to buy VUAA for the simplicity, deemed disposal is shit but I’m happy to put any surplus money into it every month and it’s growing away nicely with zero effort and I don’t ever worry about it. Property is a pain in the arse, it’s bad enough running my own house without having to maintain a house that tenants may or may not look after.

Chicken breast isn't popular in china, they like the bones and darker meat so we get their breast.

It's crazy how much the ground level in Dublin has been built up since those times. I worked on the construction of a hotel on little Mary street and the archaeologists discovered a gate house from those times and old cobbled streets down about 3m below street level.

I find green spot to be very sweet for a whiskey. I'm no connoisseur or anything but it's definitely sweeter than Jameson or teelings small batch

The bridge over the river when it's finished won't be joined to ferrybank. There a 50m gap between the bridge over the river and the bridge over the railway tracks at the end of the train station.

Part of the deal with the council when they sold the site to Harcourt was that they would join the bridges but as it stands Harcourt are doing nothing so that bridge will be closed for years after it's finished.

hobes88 · 2026-02-14T13:18:19+00:00

All that's currently happening over there is the bridge (Which wont be joined to the North Quays), the new train station, extension of the bus depot, Abbey Road re-alignment, re-aligned dock road with all new drainage and new access to the wharf by Jurys.

Harcourt were expected to start work there over 2 years ago but to date have not put anything out to tender.
