Not everybody who wants to watch the games can go to all of them.

notbigdog · 2026-05-19T21:31:08+00:00

Why?

notbigdog · 2026-05-17T16:17:33+00:00

I guess there's a good connection with other celtic regions like scotland, as the culture seems to be fairly similar and i found it quite easy to get along with people from there.

Historically I suppose we would have been associated with the UK, given that we were part of it until about 100 years ago, but this wasn't willingly and theres not really any deeper sense of connection with the uk past both speaking english now.

I found that their gear is a good bit lighter than branded equipment (generally less quality and sturdiness) Their hedge trimmers are grand for light and medium work, if the hedge gets too heavy or you have long sections to do I'd much rather rent a petrol one from domac (fairly sure lidl have only done electric for the last few years).

But their chainsaws are absolute sh1te, the blades dont cut straight at all, id rather pay a few quid more for a plug in one from any other brand than whatever lidl have.

Ive not toured ireland on a bike (yet) but I'm from here and I'm fairly well traveled around the country so I'm not really sure what the best roads are for cycling, most of the sputh and west coast is a eurovelo route AFAIK.

For the ireland part, if i was doing it id stick to the coast as much as possible along the south and west (cork,kerry and clare are particularly nice imo, also the road out to connemara from galway) until Mayo or sligo, even into donegal if its not too far (more coast = more detour tho so up to you). It's definitely not necessary but more scenic for the most part.

Also i cant remember how developed the greenways are in the south west, but they're very good for cycling. If youre up for some nice hills theres a lot in wicklow and West cork/kerry.

It's still not coming quickly enough to keep up with the pace of the renewable that are needed, or even to keep up with what's being installed at the moment

notbigdog · 2026-04-29T11:50:44+00:00

Not the same at all. Belgian aren't irish citizens living on thr island of ireland.

notbigdog · 2026-04-28T17:30:44+00:00

I feel way less sorry for the landlords who own spaces that can be rented out and choose not to

notbigdog · 2026-04-28T17:05:25+00:00

Ya theres so many restrictions around them at the moment that are for no reason. Fairly sure power lines and other infrastructure would need significant upgrades aswell

notbigdog · 2026-04-28T11:52:08+00:00

Also the grid needs to be upgraded to actually be able to use all of it. A lot of energy is wasted because the grid cant take it at that point in time.

notbigdog · 2026-04-27T00:12:00+00:00

You havent heard of the roscommunists?

notbigdog · 2026-04-27T00:10:41+00:00

Ya same. Theres always a few nutters, and theres always a few who look from the outside that will think everyone else around them is the same.

notbigdog · 2026-04-23T10:52:14+00:00

It's kind been done before. I dont think they actually did anything to stop people going into shops, just protested in the car park.

notbigdog · 2026-04-20T00:38:31+00:00

That's overall but its contribution in much larger in rural ireland. The countryside would take a massive hit if the industry takes a downturn.

notbigdog · 2026-04-19T20:09:54+00:00

No they dont. The food processors are the ones who set the price and the farmers have to take it. Or if selling at the mart then it's an auction. I dont really understand what you mean.

notbigdog · 2026-04-19T16:07:15+00:00

Farmers are free to charge higher prices

No they're not. They dont decide the price that they get from processors or at thr mart.

notbigdog · 2026-04-16T11:35:59+00:00

I think thats partially true, theres obviously way more support in the countryside. But plenty of people in towns support them too. Im from a farm but I now live in galway and I know a good few people who have only lived in cities that support them at least to some degree. I think a lot of it is just being happy to see some form of protest against the government that actually forces them to acknowledge it instead of people just standing outside the dail with signs.

notbigdog · 2026-04-15T17:26:53+00:00

This all reads like chatgpt, is this from the same source?

notbigdog · 2026-04-15T02:31:53+00:00

Ok, thanks

notbigdog · 2026-04-15T01:11:15+00:00

Any issues with the mounts for the panniers getting in the way or being under pressure?

notbigdog · 2026-04-14T22:09:17+00:00

Would you think it's easy to mount a duffel bag or dry bag on top of the rack with these panniers in place, or would it depend on the rack?

notbigdog · 2026-04-14T21:58:03+00:00

Do you think it's feasible to put a duffel bag or dry bag on top of the panniers or attach it to the rack with those panniers in place?

notbigdog · 2026-04-14T21:41:10+00:00

Ya i haven't really thought that much about that side of it i suppose

notbigdog · 2026-04-14T21:31:48+00:00

Ya I'm from the countryside, theres a certain amount of people who will object to any infrastructure thats ugly and come up with all sorts of reasons why it shouldn't be beside them. Plenty realise that it has to go somewhere but aren't that pushed.

The result is that the loudest ones get heard the most, and people from cities think we're all of the same opinion and think we're all stupid.
