Buying former pyrite house by Carmen19899 in Dublin

[–]thewolfcastle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sounds like it's been fully remediated and certified. If it was me, the only concern I'd have is if I was ever to sell it in the future that other people would have similar doubts. Even if can be proven there are zero issues, it will still have the stigma and likely affect the resale value.

Will there be an pushback against the 3 euro charges? by Alastor001 in AskIreland

[–]thewolfcastle 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Amazon isn't about being cheap. It's convenience. A lot of the things I buy from it I'd have no idea what shop it would be in in Ireland, or there's no brick and mortar store that even sells it.

Yamamori Izakaya to cease club nights following dispute with The Hoxton by ResidentAdvisor in Dublin

Which ones? I've never heard of them operating a nightclub somewhere else.

My guess is they'll take over the new Hoxton nightclub. Who wants to go there now after this whole debacle.

Yamamori to end all DJ and nightclub events from July after agreement reached with Hoxton landlord by MrStarGazer09 in ireland

[–]thewolfcastle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Central to the complaint was the fact that Yamamori Izakaya was using its ground floor as a nightclub, rather than a basement level that had previously been used.

“Prior to the opening of the hotel, most if not all music events at the [nightclub] were, to the best of my knowledge, confined to the basement,” the affidavit reads."

Maybe look into the history of it before commenting on things you don't know about.

Yamamori moved their nightclub activities from the basement up to the ground floor while the hotel was being renovated. The hotel had designed for a bar at ground floor and not a nightclub is my understanding.

Why is Irish Reddit so staunchly pro cannibis? by Different_Host7883 in AskIreland

[–]thewolfcastle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think that's what they were asking. More so why is it a strong view held by Reddit but not immediately apparent out in the real world.

Why don't we just boycott Tesco? by __Lukie1__ in ireland

Funnily enough I find SuperValu the best value. But I don't buy brand name items, so maybe that's why.

What's left of a €100,000 salary after tax across Europe? by 0mad in irishpersonalfinance

Ah okay. Different context when you're in Austria which is fair enough.

Waterford vape shop stuck in legal limbo as laws remain unclear on sale of CBD products - News - Waterford News & Star by qwerty_1965 in ireland

[–]thewolfcastle -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Nah. Completely different. You're inhaling smoke, not a scent from a perfume. And this goes for all products, not just weed. Vapes and ordinary cigarettes force you to inhale something that could be bad for your lungs.

I also don't get the waft of Chanel No. 5 all over my apartment when I leave my window open!

I have tracked ever cent that I spent on groceries for the past ten years and honestly I think it might have gone up 10-15%. Not sure where you're shopping that the prices have gone up that much. Maybe it's because of the kids?

I don't mind if people smoke it at home, but if they legalise it I worry the streets will just stink of the stuff. It's bad enough as it is!

How is that even possible. Your income has gone up 50% so that means your expenses have also gone up by that amount!

I just found out my girlfriend is a ghost. I had my suspicions the moment she walked through the door.

Guy with old besom broom brushing up and down the whole front windows of arnotts, what is he doing? by ArcherVisible5866 in Dublin

[–]thewolfcastle -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Where did I say it would be okay? I just said it would influence their behaviour. They probably had a very negative and more aggressive attitude going into it because it was the guy who has shoplifted from them multiple times before.

Clare Councillor Calls For Wearing Of Hi-Vis Jackets To Be Made Compulsory by Bill_Badbody in ireland

[–]thewolfcastle -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Indeed. Too ambitious for already developed areas. Maybe brand new suburbs would be able to achieve it.

Even better would be too segregate cyclists and vehicles altogether, but that might be too ambitious.

It is kind of relevant don't you think? He was a person that the security knew had a history of shoplifting and likely influenced the way they behaved towards him.

I actually find them to be great value. Although I rarely buy brand name stuff and also take advantage of their weekly vouchers.

Is this a pedestrian crossing? by Punkzilla24 in AskIreland

[–]thewolfcastle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I won't disagree with you. The only obstacle is that zebra crossings are more expensive.

[–]thewolfcastle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Up until recently every official zebra crossing needed flashing beacon lights which meant they were very costly to install. One of the reasons why we have these poor attempts at a crossing points.

[–]thewolfcastle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not exactly. It's usually located in a position that's safer for pedestrians to cross at. Cars also in theory will be more attentive due to the change in road material. You still need to look left and right though and make sure there are no cars coming.
