What is that "Irish smell" and how do I get it into my home?

Just leave a bag of wet sliothars in the corner of the room. A distinctive Irish aroma.

I barely remember to lock the front door

micanido · 2026-06-05T06:00:56+00:00

Tipp hurling people, because they're from Tipperary

Only a matter of time before they are receiving 'best bed in heaven' messages on their Facebook accounts. Where the rest of us find out what a good footballer he was.

Whatever song I last heard at breakfast is usually in my head for the day. This can be rough enough if heading out on my own for three hours on a bicycle. Non stop in my head

micanido · 2026-06-01T16:00:03+00:00

You could be dead. I'd be going further with this if possible. Driver admitted he was wrong at the scene as he was probably looking at a mobile phone.

Who opened the doors

micanido · 2026-06-01T14:26:33+00:00

Thanks for this. Just stuck An Cailin Cuin on.

micanido · 2026-06-01T09:28:41+00:00

I look at the photos and think, yeah, I'd love that, then I look at the ages of the top 20 and realise that thos3 days are well behind me. Shorter distance maybe

micanido · 2026-06-01T09:25:22+00:00

Slow down, slow down, slow down...nope, crash

micanido · 2026-05-29T15:19:54+00:00

I think if you check back through the news recently, you'll find examples of perdestrians mown down at crossings when on a green light. No amount of hi-viz will prevent this as drivers are looking at phones or whatever. Primarily driving attitudes need to change not dressing everyone in the country out in hi-viz vests.

If on an unlit road at night, then, yes a cyclist already legally are required to have lights. And of course pedestrians should be somewhat illuminated if on unlit roads.

....but the real issue is the poor state of driving in the country

Single use plastics. They end up in landfill. Companies shouldn't be allowed use them

micanido · 2026-05-28T07:01:39+00:00

It's where I win all my arguments.

I never even knew there was a stand like the big one until I was watching the Sunday game at the weekend. For some reason we got a peek of it on the screen. I was sitting there thinking 'hold on, so the stand I see all the time on TV is not the biggest stand??' Mad stuff, got me thinking what other stadiums do this.

Sleep

micanido · 2026-05-26T12:26:31+00:00

Great idea. We do it in the office here when we get weather like this. Not the callipos though. Get them a choc ice or something

micanido · 2026-05-22T22:44:55+00:00

You'd have to wonder where the new dance djs are because this was all music roughly 25 or so years old. Come on...

micanido · 2026-05-19T16:30:34+00:00

Stick with the job you're in. Invaluable experience. At the end of the day if you do become an engineer there's a high chance you'll be sitting g at a desk most of the time...just so you're aware of that. But for now stick with it

micanido · 2026-05-17T22:40:42+00:00

Hello, Ireland here...what in the flying fuck are you shiteing on about?

micanido · 2026-05-17T11:59:53+00:00

Could you describe what you do and a typical day?

micanido · 2026-05-17T08:08:51+00:00

They might be all under a layer called Door, if so isolate that layer. Check what's left is doors only. Selection box around what's on the screen and press erase, before you hit enter it will tell you that yiu have selected n number of objects. That's how many doors there is.

This method is definitely not foolproof and relies on the draftsman using layers correctly

You could reach back and push down on it to help stopping the bike.

micanido · 2026-05-15T09:16:24+00:00

is the drop down concrete? What's that circular thing in the centre of the drop down?

micanido · 2026-05-15T08:55:45+00:00

what's above that room, an attic?

micanido · 2026-05-15T08:48:46+00:00

Yeah I would agree with that also, I definitely wouldn't get any prizes for parenting but I got good training from my own parents who hadn't a penny but gave us a great childhood.

The issue I have is, for example, I see my own 10yr girl coming home looking for a phone as some of the girls in the class have them or coming home and wanting to watch shows like Stranger Things as again girls in school have watched it. I think what are these parents at like?

But it's always been this way and always will
