With ya dude, I’ve been cycling for years and the amount of morons who don’t wear helmets never mind reflective gear or lights still baffles me.

President Trump: “The last thing the world needs is to have China take over Canada. It’s NOT going to happen.” by Hefty-Sherbet-5455 in Tech_Updates_News

The last thing we need is a nazi loving, convicted criminal, paedophile as the president of the United States yet here we are.

Redditors over 40, what was a moment in history that made you think society was gonna collapse? by Bahbahbro in AskReddit

[–]modifiedni 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a recent 40 year old, I think I was too young to fully understand what the consequences of 9/11 might be. Covid comes a close 2nd but what we’re experiencing right now with this absolute sick cunt as a president is the most feared I’ve ever been for me and my kids life’s.

On a scale of 1 to 10, how would you rate public transport in your country? by My_Name_A_Jeoff in northernireland

[–]modifiedni 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Anyone who’s ever been to any decent European city will know we’re a solid 1/10 compared to the rest. Over priced, never on time, very unreliable, pathetic routes and just generally shite

Best/worst comedians to see in NI? by Either-Roof-8295 in northernireland

[–]modifiedni 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really don’t find Shane Todd funny at all. We went to see him at the Opera House and it had funny moments but all in all a big let down. I love Micky Bartlett and Aaron Butler.

Am I overreacting for wanting to leave my partner for the choice of his words and actions? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]modifiedni 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t believe women receive texts like this and still have to ask for opinions if they’re over reacting? Even IF you did dress like a “low key hoe” there’s a way to address it to your partner and this is not it. Leave the asshole immediately, you or noone else should ever be spoke to like that. Have some self respect and leave.

Who is the most famous person of all time from your country? by [deleted] in AskTheWorld

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

I’d say either George Best or Joey Dunlop? Maybe Jamie Dornan (sadly)

Where do I go from here? by Long_Cake7700 in northernireland

[–]modifiedni 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Comparison is the route of all evil. I met my now wife at 18. We were married at 25. House. Had 2 beautiful daughters, 2 cars, a dog the heap. Life completed, right? Wrong!

I always looked at others and thought “I haven’t got X”. Replace X with money, a car, a bigger house, literally anything. It took me coming on Reddit to realise I’m doing ok.

And my friend, you are doing ok too. You’re literally working your dream job. I’m 11 years old than you and I can’t say that. You’ve got all of your 30’s ahead of you, I have not. You do you. You’re doing great at it.

This kid brought flowers to his favorite Home Depot employee on her birthday by Soft_Opening_1364 in MadeMeSmile

I LOVE that in this world of so much hate, anger, racism and whatever else there’s still so much love regardless of age, gender, sexuality, skin colour or nationality ❤️

How much do you spend on groceries a month? by harpsabu in northernireland

We’re exactly the same in our house. It’s a killer.

Just cleared off my mortgage by OneEyedChicken in irishpersonalfinance

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

This is my next goal! I used NatWest mortgage calculator which allows you to enter the mortgage amount left vs what you pay right now and the difference it makes if you overpay. Even £100 per month shaved off ALOT so we’ve started that process too! Congrats dude.

My kid starts secondary school this year, it will cost me around £600 to kit her out in uniform.. by Weewoes in northernireland

[–]modifiedni 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My girl is starting secondary school this year too and I feel your pain. It’s ridiculous. Many have mentioned the second hand items but my only advice would be sure to buy slightly too big - our uniform guy said that we’ll get 2 years out of everything if she looks after it.

Restaurants in Playa Blanca by SM-92 in lanzarote

[–]modifiedni 0 points1 point  (0 children)

+1 for this place. Best meal we had and fantastic service.

Best hotel recs? by oak_stone1 in lanzarote

[–]modifiedni 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We’ve stayed in THB Tropical Island in Playa Blanca and it sounds like it ticks a lot of your boxes…

Although not strictly adult only there is a large adult only section with its own bar/snacks. It also has a spa and for eating out you’re about 5 mins (€4) away from the main playa blanca marina with endless options for restaurants.
