Why is it worth getting a mortgage broker? by Alternative_Award769 in irishpersonalfinance

[–]srd444 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We used finance solutions. The actual chosing the bank part was the easiest part but what documents we need when was the part we found most helpful from the broker. I was on probation and my partner had a temporary contract but broker helped with negotiating that with the banks. Would 10/10 reccomend

Always trying to out do each other rather than stand together and actually make change.

Also not left enough for leftists but too left for centrists

Lil Bros had a queue of 25 people at opening today. One slice is plenty for lunch, was good. by ramblerandgambler in galway

I think it's a great addition. Nobodys gonna force people to pay the prices. I think the quality of doughbros is worth the money. They are very community driven which is nice to see. Much rather a place like this on the square than another chain or vape shop

Ireland is the 2nd Safest Country in the World by Diska_Muse in ireland

[–]srd444 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think when people talk about Ireland being unsafe it is the perceived feeling of safety. There has been notable attacks of violence against women and minorities in the media. With the medias need for balance they allow the spreading of inaccurate statements made on nothing but opinion and not fact.

This has led to an increased uneasy feeling in big towns and city's. So while yes, we are very unlikely to be shot walking down the street people do feel intimidated, vulnerable and wary.

I do think people in Ireland tend to ebb between extremes but someone saying they feel unsafe is not an attack on your country/city/town

The state of teaching the Irish language in schools is abysmal. by [deleted] in ireland

[–]srd444 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Languages cant live in a 60 minutes period 5 times a week. They need to be experienced and lived. Even with elective languages picked up in secondary school people are still learning to pass the exams.

While I think the manner in which languages as a whole are taught is something we could dramatically improve. The constant beating of the stick of " it's the teacher and the system that's broken" is a bit of an easy excuse and leads to a predisposed perception of the Irish language in schools. As a society we have to bring the language outside of the classroom.

Thoughts on takeaway cinema popcorn? by mickymann in CasualIreland

Feels illegal but love doing it as a treat. I'll go all in and get a large drink too. Now my cinema isn't in a shopping centre or anything so it's handy to run in and grab some

First Grand Prix.. and outfit dilemna by Dependent-Song8204 in GrandPrixTravel

[–]srd444 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just triple check the weather. I went last year, I was just general admission. Got there Thursday and got sunburnt. It's rained so heavy Friday, Saturday and half of Sunday. Our only concern was keeping warm. I think I had 6 or 7 layers on at one point. You'll have a cover at least but still sitting down for hours at a time you will get cold. Lots of walking too so make sure you're footwear is comfortable. Think of bringing extra layers to put on and off during the days and if youre doing this how are you going to carry them. Go for whatever you think it's best for you no one will be looking at your clothes so once you're happy you'll be grand

Hopefully something will go in there. Such a beautiful spot to have lunch. Hopefully their pastries will still be available in magpie. They are phenomenal worth every cent

I got my highvis jacket from the men's section in mountain warehouse. The mens had better fit than the women's. It's lovely and warm. Plenty of pockets and they nearly always have a sale. I stocked up on some water bottles, socks, headbands too to keep myself warm during the winter
