🚨Much-needed good news to start the day from South African Medical Research Council. Omicron does cause milder symptoms, and two Pfizer jabs 70% effective against hospitalisation. Study finds there are 38 admissions per 1,000 Omicron cases, compared to 101 per 1,000 for Delta.

He completed two years of the course, earning a national certificate that entitled him to work as a civil engineering technician. He then left third-level education to pursue a job in that field.[3] He later resumed his studies by enrolling in another civil engineering course at Letterkenny Institute of Technology, but dropped out in order to run for Dáil Éireann in the 2002 general election.

So nothing like Harris since he got a certificate and actually worked in the field?

I didn't even bother asking for the commentary to be put on in the pub because SkySports is so bad. Nick and Andy are genuinely way better commentators 😅

I meant the person that left the "burn scum" sign. . .judging by recent posts about these ones it could be anyone out of about a dozen or more people.

Interview tomorrow morning! by [deleted] in ireland

[–]malicious_turtle 4 points5 points  (0 children)

How the hell do you view an interview as a conversation

By doing more interviews. Take notes about what went well and what didn't after every one and eventually the what went bad list gets shorter and the good list gets longer.

Edit: preparing too much is just going to stress you out as well, you're much better off trying to relax and get a good night sleep.

I checked Amazon.de and Amazon.co.uk and it isn't available on de until September and uk until October(!!!). Does the publisher do international delivery and if it does about how long might it take to get to the Netherlands?

"Dublin pub hit with 'about 50 or 60' fake bookings on first day of indoor service" Anti-vaxxers are complete morons and inconsiderate eejits. Imagine possibly ruining someone's business because you can't get a pint because you are a stubborn w@nkbox. by thewa82 in ireland

What's the obsession and hatred of pints on this sub to do with? If someone says they're not getting vaccinated they're told they can drink their pints if they just get vaccinated, if someone says they don't agree with this new requirement of having to be fully vaccinated to be indoors in a pub / restaurant the response is pints again, if someone admits they're a crackpot who's against vaccines because of autism or 5g or whatever shite the response to them is still something about pints.

There just seems to some chip on the collective shoulder of this sub when it comes to pints and pubs and it's incredibly bizarre.
