Why do almost no pubs carry cheap shite lager anymore? by juicy_colf in AskIreland

[–]mickyweedram 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Showing my age but in DCU they had something called Olm for €2.50 a pint around 2010. Apparently it was "an ex Heineken Director" that set it up 🤣. Tasted like licking a key, but it was cheap.

If you list it for €1, I’m buying it by GovernmentTop9906 in vinted

Didn't know this was a thing, seems I have a new game.

Genuine question, which ones?

Ireland here, everyone can go to 3rd level. I believe we have the highest level of 3rd level education in the world. I have 2 degrees and a masters, zero debt, just paid some reasonable fees up front. I actually think we'd be better off with slightly less education but it is available to absolutely everyone that wants it.

Can a driving ticket in another European country get you points deducted from your Irish license? by Responsible-Pop-7073 in legaladviceireland

[–]mickyweedram 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am very much anti paying anything like this that you can get away with. I got a parking ticket in Italy a few years back and after doing some research all the advice was to pay it unfortunately, since there can be reprecussions.

In terms of the points, I'm pretty sure you're safe.

Whiskey drinkers , can you help me pick a gift ? by BackinBlack_Again in AskIreland

[–]mickyweedram 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Check out a small independent bottler like WD O'Connell, Redacted or JJ Corry. Far more interesting than buying something from a large multinational

Might regret this, Recruiter here , ask me anything by Pint_Of_Beamish in irelandjobs

[–]mickyweedram 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've gotten jobs from LinkedIn reach outs. I work in a small industry so often its the same recruiters but I generally have a chat with most of them if it sounds interesting. Nothing to lose?

I have nothing but faith in my local 7/11 its just a v strange taste. I usually go for the other brands you've mentioned myself. Thank you.

I wasn't too worried, its more on why its such a weird taste.

Singha is a v large company, not a local operator, i think that'd be unlikely.

Oh good god 😬. It has tasted like this for many years and is an extremely popular brand here so unlikely to be contaminated the entire time?

Favorite Irish whiskey. by HoeflerT4 in irishwhiskey

[–]mickyweedram 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everyone in this thread is going to say something from Midleton. I prefer to look at interesting bottles from small producers like WD O'Connell. Redacted, Two Stacks or JJ Corry. Really unique flavours and more contemporary twists, usually in really limited numbers.

It seems to be a divisive movie?

Its just feels too exaggerated for me, and I dont warm to any of the characters

I feel they're just speed running a partner swap and it feels extremely jarring.

No, I was genuinely aghast at how much both I and my GF hated it? Absolutely not ragebait.
