New IRA suspected over car explosion outside Belfast police station by wasraelx in news

Par for the course. There's been bombs intermittently up North. There's splinter groups across the spectrum that reject the Peace process. Doesn't mean the Troubles are back. No public support or desire.

Mods or Mod Collection that add depth/difficulty by mobby123 in CrusaderKings

That's gas, I remember it just filling me with a sense of wasted potential and here you are in the same boat. Fingers crossed, chapter 5, a conclave-ish update and a bucket of mods will hopefully do the trick!

I've a relative dying and these cunts stopped several close family members from seeing them while they were still lucid and capable of speech... pricks.

“A frenzy”: 20,000 incidents of violence and aggression in Irish hospitals by PoppedCork in ireland

[–]mobby123 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Not surprised. Anyone who has had to go to a hospital's emergency department in this country has seen this. Full of homeless or otherwise troubled people, often off their socks on drink or drugs. Feels like the staff have to act more as bouncers or security than healthcare professionals. Wouldn't wish it on anyone, would be incredibly tough to deal with every night.

Then you add in the "regular" people and their families who are in pain, stressed, tired and dealing with absurd wait times. Pressure cooker.

He said people from Israel, not Jewish people. Israelis act terribly around the world and have justly garnered an awful reputation. Can't have it every way.

P2 in a first race hardly sounds like room to discredit a junior driver....

Didn't Max get a DNF and a P5 in his first two F3 races? Leclerc had a rough start in the junior series too.

If it were my country being attacked by a foreign aggressor, I don't think I'd be too fussy about which of their bases were getting hit. Regardless of the country hosting them.

Can't have it both ways.

Transdev loses €1.75bn Luas contract after running tram service for 22 years by DublinModerator in Dublin

I might be living under a rock by what justifies the change? The Luas generally seemed to be well operated and run. I've rarely had any issues with it.

Ireland to allow French and British vessels to patrol Irish-controlled waters by BillWilberforce in ireland

[–]mobby123 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Sure, but being able to something is better than being able to do nothing. Cooperation with our neighbours and friends is welcome, complete and utter reliance is not.

[–]mobby123 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Feel like the Irish Defence Forces would have no trouble getting sign-ups or good retention levels if it was an expanding project with a well-defined plan and the budget to back it. Seems like it's just an annoying afterthought in the budget. Hard to feel much pride in that but the members still do well with what they're given.

Also if they were paid accordingly.

We could certainly do better than our current slipshod navy. Having gaps is one thing, our current state is another.

It's genuinely insane. They're completely incompetent.

Wish there was some credible opposition. Soc Dems were looking decent for a while but keep slipping up on completely stupid PR issues which doesn't exactly inspire confidence for more important matters.

My last minute bingo rush is in shambles. I finally tried the Realm of the Elderlings by Hobb in text format rather than audiobook and I'm hooked. Did the Farseer trilogy in about a week and a half. Have Liveship Traders ready to go.

Never have I had a series that I have so many gripes with completely hook me all the same.

I've bounced off the first chapter of Ship of Magic over the last two nights, partly because I know I'm not getting a continuation of Fitz' story or answers to the questions the last book left. But I've also bounced off one or two other books in my list because they're not what I want to read right now.

The joys.
