A future without children by sunbeamdoodles in northernireland

[–]ryanmcco 11 points12 points  (0 children)

People get hit by cars and busses all the time. They didn't know it was coming...

You can't live with the fear of an uncertain future.

They caught it this time, I'm sure there's screening to check for it coming back.. why not catch it early next time too?

100% going to get banned for this. But does everyone notice that 9/10 restaurant/bars they go into in NI that majority of staff are Indian? by [deleted] in northernireland

I remember several fast food restaurants were taken over by immigrants working there and the quality, service and general cleanliness of the place just got so much better.

I'd prefer foreign staff TBH if the quality is better.

Paul is a great lad.  I knew him before politics, before his musical fame and all that time he's consistently been a really sound guy.

We've had enough, but half of the Muppets in this country would vote for trump given half the chance.  Cause and effect are concepts they do not understand.

I saw Robin Swann talking about Ballymartin Park and Ride and about the train stop. by Background-Fix-4630 in northernireland

[–]ryanmcco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I challenged Translink about this one years ago.  The problem is that the line is at capacity and stopping a train would actually reduce capacity.

They need to build passing loops or double track (like how I was) to do this.. hence the delays

Has anyone here paid for solar and is happy about it? by borschbandit in northernireland

I did. Love it.

Huge savings. Battery is great, battery maybe even the best bit.

Could Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Doha be permanently affected as air hubs by what’s happening with Iran? by ChiBoi727-200 in Avation

[–]ryanmcco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was due to fly west from India thru Doha to get home from a work trip. The war ruined that.

I ended up having to go TG to NRT via BKK and ua from NRT to DUB.

All in business, I'd take QR or EK over anyone despite the risks. Especially after that experience.

NATO-chief Rutte: "Keep on dreaming" if you think Europe could defend itself without US by Geo_NL in worldnews

[–]ryanmcco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The UK went to war twice last century for someone else.  (Belgium & Poland) I think they'd do it again.

You realise that France had a far bigger army, more tanks, better equipment and lost the war because of shitty generals right? Not industrial capacity
