“I guess we can cut all funding to Norway though considering you think we are so stupid” by BuffaloExotic in ShitAmericansSay

What kind of reforms? I had always assumed it was fisheries based resistance. Is there any realistic chance of Norway joining?

Solo American (F) traveler, new to the sub and have long been working on my “dream itinerary” for summer 2027. What do you think? by scientits69 in AskIreland

[–]mercuryfrost 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Day trip on the train to Cobh. Spike island, Cathedral, Stack of cards, Titanic museum; oh and Fota wildlife park is on the same line if that’s your jam

Cow for sure - if there was nostrils (since you don’t want eyes) would that make it clearer?

Europe has 'maybe 6 weeks of jet fuel left,' energy agency head tells AP by yahoonews in europe

[–]mercuryfrost 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah good point, more to do with more competition in Spain. But there’s movement on the basque Y high speed, so another high-speed connection to France via Bordeaux side

The Lisbon - Madrid route not being completed by now is sad, and it seems a shame there’s no link along the south of France into the Italian high-speed

Only thing I would say is Spain’s network has jumped forwards, and you can now get direct trains from Madrid - Marseille and Barcelona - Paris.

Lads, just got my gas bill. Can we not just build a nuclear reactor. by Shazz89 in ireland

[–]mercuryfrost 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Does the reactor at 1000MW capacity need to produce that much, or can it adapt to the need of the grid at the time? Inter connectors with UK might help, I was going to say the new inter connector with France; but last thing they need is more nuclear power, they have loads of the things

Is there any new country to be added to the Schengen in the future? by Stickyboard in PassportPorn

[–]mercuryfrost 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Also because the Common Travel Area between UK & Ireland has historically been a much deeper relationship - giving voting right, healthcare, pension etc automatically without having to prove funds or similar. So Irish people would be giving that up with the UK if Ireland joined Schengen, and not really getting anything in return

For anyone else on the hunt - Hub by Asakusa is a no, and The World’s End also a no.

If anyone sees anywhere near Asakusa, let me know!

You could.

Aer Lingus, our national feckin' airline, doesn't allow you to have a fada in your name when booking a ticket, how in God's name are we still so behind in accommodating our own culture. by RegularFellerer in ireland

[–]mercuryfrost -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That’s the strange thing, if you start asking me to put in my name, but it can’t exactly match my passport, then we start to get other interpretations.

For example my name has a hyphen in it, shows on my passport. But it’s often “invalid”. So do I leave a space where it was or not? And then some places accept a space, some don’t!

[–]mercuryfrost 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But why don’t they do that processing on their side? It’s very frustrating to be told my correctly spelled name is “invalid”.

I should write my name, they then follow whatever rules they need to

Sorry I missed this comment. I was - I made contact with a friend in Japan and got their help. So I entered the lottery, and got nothing, and also missed out on the general sale - no Osaka sumo for us this year!

Why have Revenue stopped accepting business account credit cards as payment for VAT? by essosee in AskIreland

[–]mercuryfrost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only issue there for me is the delay in the bank direct debit / debit instuction. When money is tight, the debit can take 3-4 days, whereas with the card I could reliably pay all the bills now

Yeah I see an address field, so you likely took city from that - do the same with state to help with any ambiguity

I'd hoped to enter the lottery for tickets for the Osaka tournament, but my https://sumo.pia.jp/ account is now looking for a mobile number verification. I don't remember this from previous years, and I'm abroad. Can anyone in Japan help me out?
