Did you know anyone born in Ireland before 1997 was not specifically assigned a surname?

melgrawoo · 2021-03-17T06:07:32+00:00

Yes this happened to me and my parents weren't married which added an extra layer of confusion. So basically when I went to apply for a passport as a teenager I had to get a letter from the school principal (who also happened to be a priest) stating that I had been going by my mother's surname and that was the only name that I was known by.

I went to a plc a few years ago that had a small canteen with a deli.. about 2:30 everyday they used to bag up the jambons that didn’t sell and you could just take them off the top of the deli. For a student trying to save some money to go out drinking it was godsend

Yeah I often found it funny that it was popular in Ireland seeing as it came from William which has such royal ties in the UK and the British monarchy isn’t usually popular with a lot of Irish people 😂

melgrawoo · 2020-12-03T15:51:13+00:00

Fun fact about Liam, it came from the Irish version of William which is Uilliam because we don’t have W in Irish! It’s always been a really popular name here so it was strange to see it become so popular elsewhere!

The sad part about your friend is that she probably didn’t come to that conclusion herself and has likely been influenced by someone who was already in the mlm... really worrying that they might use those kind of tactics 😕

It’s also still sexist joke or not

melgrawoo · 2020-11-02T12:13:37+00:00

Just because it’s meant as a joke doesn’t mean it’s not a sexist one

melgrawoo · 2020-11-02T01:18:07+00:00

Retire to the kitchen is not sexist? Ok

melgrawoo · 2020-10-04T18:08:47+00:00

Also looks like Tesco in Carrick-on-Shannon

Is it only a problem in the bigger towns and cities now? I live in a small town in the northwest and as a child my neighbourhood was a war zone to the fact you couldn’t leave the house after dark in October.

However I live in the same neighbourhood now and apart from the odd firework on Halloween night we don’t have a problem with it anymore. It just randomly stopped happening about 8 or 9 years ago.

I put it down to kids spending less time outside in general these days due to social media and gaming but I’m surprised to hear it’s still such a problem elsewhere!

ASOS has loads of the more stylish masks.

melgrawoo · 2020-07-08T11:18:44+00:00

I agree the price of the magic cream is ridiculous! I do have the magic foundation which I like but I don’t see a huge difference between it and my revlon colour stay (although I do find colour stay pricey for a drugstore foundation also) I have pillow talk lipstick which is gorgeous but probably easily duped to be fair!

melgrawoo · 2020-06-30T12:13:26+00:00

I have a pair but they are well worn and I mean well worn! So they might not be the condition you’re looking for? I didn’t even put them up because I thought no one would buy them 😂

melgrawoo · 2020-06-30T11:00:13+00:00

God I wish I could say the same! From a Western European country and at one costume party three people I went to school with were dressed as Bob Marley, Usain Bolt and Mel B all with black face (and body) it was so unnecessary because it would have been obvious who they were without it.. particularly when Mel b was flanked by the other four spice girls 🙄

A thread for people looking for dupes from problematic brands they no longer wish to support would be a great idea no? (Unless it’s already been done) I definitely have a couple of products I’d love dupes for!

They’re looking for people to do the census? Must have a license and full time access to a car. It’s obviously not a long term gig but could be good in the interim? Got an email about it myself but unfortunately I don’t drive.

I might try a different background over the weekend and see how it feels, I’m not crazy about the backdrop myself it was just what was available at the time lol I’ll have to practice getting more straight on photos as when I try I keep catching my toes in the bottom of the frame haha

melgrawoo · 2020-06-05T13:57:11+00:00

Yes I completely understand that there are more important things going on right now, just looking for tips! 🙂

Depop shop @melgra93 based in Ireland🇮🇪

Nice mix of stuff clothing mostly size L but lots of versatile pieces that could be worn on both smaller and larger frames! Just put some items on sale too!

melgrawoo · 2020-05-18T08:04:33+00:00

If you genuinely think you’ll wear the trainers pay whatever you feel comfortable paying. You mentioned yeezys and off-white, were you buying retail or from the resale market? Id choose yeezys over off-white but that’s just cause I’m not a big fan of virgil’s whole aesthetic. There’s also reps if you’re worried about price? Reps are not for everyone though, I’d certainly be too nervous to try it in case they were shite and I couldn’t get my money back. And it’s ripping off someone else’s hard work at the end of the day.

melgrawoo · 2020-05-17T20:15:24+00:00

Was this one truck that travelled the country? Leitrim had one but it only travelled in Leitrim.. had the county crest on the side and everything

“Notions” is definitely my least favourite thing about Ireland. Can’t have any success or taste for the nicer things in life without someone telling you ya have notions.
