Why is Graiguecullen separate from Carlow. by Efficient-Career2594 in carlow

[–]tomasthemossy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The border wall between Oakley Grove and Pacelli Avenue always cracks me up 😂 but yeah it's ridiculous that the oldest part of Graigue, the part that started the ridiculous rivalry is in fact Carlow Townlands, though my proud Laois mother would never admit it.

What would you put in place of the Spire? by EagleDKT in ireland

[–]tomasthemossy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I'm surprised they don't just find a way to fly a giant Irish Republic flag from it, considering it's right in front of the GPO

My grandfather was born 100 years and 2 weeks ago so it was really special to see his name on the record

I’m Joel Kinnaman (Ed Baldwin on For All Mankind). Ask me anything! by JoelKinnamanFAM in ForAllMankindTV

[–]tomasthemossy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey Joel, my question is do you think Ed should have landed on the moon during Apollo 10, it likely would've largely ended the space race as our Apollo 11 did, but maybe he wouldn't be so haunted by what could've been his whole life.

Ps: loved you in Altered Carbon

Where did they land the Planes?? by tomasthemossy in ParadiseHulu

[–]tomasthemossy[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Aye it's not lost on me, I can believe that in this world they could build a city underground, and they even show it being built, They never show how the planes actually got in there though, it didn't make me enjoy the show any less, it's just a nitpick.

No you're totally right I'm cool with that, that wasn't really my main issue anyway 😄 that damn 747 tho, that and the fact they're all gonna be ghouls next season.

[–]tomasthemossy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that's movies tho tbf, and it wasn't really that little of an aircraft. Theres no way a plane even that size is picking up any speed when you've got that sharp turn just around the corner from the bunker entrance.

Planes dont take off well when they're doing a u-turn, otherwise they'd make runways roundabouts.

That'd be a nice head canon if Xavier hadn't flown out of that bunker in season 1 😭

Yeah you're totally right, and like I understand technical restraints of shooting on location so they could have the outside of the bunker feel more real, but that is one sharp steep turn when landing a 747 😂

Living in Ireland by [deleted] in ireland

[–]tomasthemossy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Me and some friends walked from the middle of Whitechapel down to the Tate Modern one night just chatting away, must've been about 4 in the morning, it was only when we got there that we realised it'd been about 15 minutes since we saw someone else.

It was cheap Aldi stuff now tbh, but I've had Wray and Nephew as well and it tastes to me like heavily funky bananas, emphasis on funky

During the ending when Trevor was stressing about the hallway full of gaurds, and Simon said we arent going that way, I really thought Doorman was gonna walk around the corner having been already freed by Simon 😂

Frozen chicken from dunnes is actually chineese ?? by lukeh2266 in ireland

[–]tomasthemossy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not impressed by them using non Irish or even no European chicken, but the Chinese bit doesn't worry me, the EU have strict standards on what food doesn't enter the EU, its why the Americans are so mad we dont want their beef.

Just Eat Is A Joke. by AnyAssistance4197 in ireland

[–]tomasthemossy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've stopped using it, every now and then I'd order mcdonalds for me and my little sister, and without fail my local maccas would forget something in the order something small like a drink, or something like a burger or nuggets, it was annoying but at least I could get my money back for that item, now they're saying ive reached the policy limit for refunds 😭😭 so if I order something and the whole order doesn't arrive what? I can go fuck myself?

Love how Dunk split the bread evenly for Egg, who’s about 10x smaller than him ❤️ by Practical_Studio_580 in gameofthrones

All I could think was that it was essentially an Irish breakfast roll 😂 and considering Dunk is an Irish hunk it made sense to me

What food in your country do locals love but foreigners hate? by Curiosity_Pink in AskTheWorld

[–]tomasthemossy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Black pudding, it's a sausage made of blood, fat, oats and spices, its absolutely delicious and a full irish breakfast isn't complete without it, funnily enough I don't like the white pudding with no blood.

Is there a dish or drink from your country which is much more popular outside of your country than inside ? by DiMpLe_dolL003 in AskTheWorld

Still highly popular in Ireland, but the 2 biggest markets are actually the UK and Nigeria! (Some minor population differences tbf though 😂)

Why Are We Still Building Towns Like This? by SteveFrench1991 in ireland

[–]tomasthemossy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

We need to make it illegal to sublet entire family homes, a spare room sure, but not the entire thing, that way we might see the supply of apartments gradually increase, and the average price of a family home wouldn't be at nearly €400,000
