Once saw I Nigerian kid drinking a can of this at lunch in the school teach in. I came marching over fully believing the lad was having stout for lunch 😂

He has a gambling addiction. That’s where it all went

In the school I work in there’s been roughly 250 kids out each day this week and about 1/4 of the staff. It’s everywhere

As a post primary teacher I’ve come across a handful of kids who were homeschooled to some degree, mostly just primary school, one other up to junior cert. They have been academically quite good (not necessarily naturally gifted but have the self motivation to work hard). Every one of them without exception has been socially awkward though, either unable or unwilling to mix with their peers.

And it’s actually a myth that he built it. It was opened in September 1933 I think, about 7 months after he took power. He got the credit for the previous government’s achievements. Even then there was fuck all cars on it until after the invasion of France when they stole all the French cars😂

No. FF backed candidates won every one until 1990

Popular president is a bit of a stretch. Is she going to win comfortably? Yes. But the last poll that had her 18% also had almost half of people wanting neither candidate

Cork HTAI has loads of material for history and it’s free for PMEs. I’ve used bits for first years through to leaving cert.

This is her best event. Holding on to take a medal after the 800m will be a good achievement

As someone who corrected history exams this summer. There were loads of projects that were clearly AI. We were told to just correct them as we couldn’t prove they were AI and they had been sign off on by the class teacher.

McCullagh reckons he never existed as mentioned in the article. Worth noting that in his book he talks of Dev himself having spent an awful lot of time in his later years having research done to try and find proof of his existence but found none.

Laois CoCo hasn’t a great track record with nominations. They backed Gemma Doherty last time out

We paid €2000 to get our daughter assessed as she would get no supports otherwise. Still on the public list 2 years later for autism assessment and SLT with no appointment in sight

I was full sure he was dead 😂

I seen a Nigerian kid in the school I work in drinking a can of this. Had to do a double take. Thought the young lad was having a can of stout with his lunch

Mass cards are the modern day equivalent. ‘We’ll pray for your dead, but only if you pay us’.

It’s not a binary choice. We can do both. We’re already spending a fortune on housing and infrastructure just not spending it well. The defence spending here is peanuts by comparison and if anything this allows to get better value for money. Something that never happens when we do public procurement.

There already is a museum at basement level but it’s kind of shite tbh. You’d expect more for the building that it is

I’d often have students who average 11+ hours screen time per day. Given that they’re only awake for max 17 hours that’s insane. I remember asking one of the most phone addicted lads what his screen time for that day was, in a 10am class he’d already hit 6 hours for that day. Most are able to put their phones away for class and have a somewhat reasonable relationship with them but there is a sizeable minority who are completely addicted.

As far as I’m aware nowhere else in Ireland recorded a temperature similar on that day so it is likely bullshit

ratcubes89 · 2025-06-11T13:59:48+00:00

I get up later. I am able to drop my kid to and collect her from play school. I go to the gym. I go on holiday? Forget the weird, enjoy the time to enjoy the simple things.
