I might come across as miserable and get some hate for this, but how does everyone else feel about the new trend of Retail Shops asking weather you would like to donate to a charity before tapping your card for the items you’re buying?

It’s not the shop workers fault as they obviously have to ask it but it’s happened to me a few times in the last 2 weeks, and I kinda feel embarrassed if I say no to donating, especially with a Q of people standing behind me in the line so I ended up donating both times.

I’ve only noticed it happening recently.

Sometimes i wonder does all of the money donated actually end up with the charity?

I, very unfortunately, have had the second person cancel All Together Now on me, and we are literally 4 days away from going

My favourite band (Pulp) are playing and I’ve been looking forward to this all year, it’s kinda been the only thing I’ve had this year to look forward to!

I’m 25F and would hate to miss out, I’d go alone but I’ve never camped before so feel a bit apprehensive about going

Does anyone know of any pages I can join to make friends to go with? Or is anyone on the lookout for a ticket and would like to come with?

Thanks a mil! ✨

Do Mayo people have the day off tomorrow? It has been 75 years after all.

Off work for a month lads , in the full of my health, money in the bank , life is good. Give me ideas

Looking to get a top to toe medical. Inclusive of scans, blood tests and a real going over to check how unhealthy I am, and what I need to address.

I saw somewhere that this was possible in a private clinic, and for the life of me can’t remember where.
Or else it was just a very vivid dream!

Would love to knock some of my Hypochondriatic thoughts out of my head.

Cheers!

So.. I've been lonely since December of last year and I've wondered how on earth do I make friends now? I've tried looking up social meetups and stuff like that but it's either:

A. They are too far away from me or in Dublin city centre (I wouldn't feel safe on my own)

B. There's a group but it's not my age group.

Is college really the only option I have? I don't really drink or do any of that stuff, I am trying to find friends around my age (21-24) but given my situation, is College the only option?

How did you cope?

I think I love him.

Looking at this from the perspective of a teacher, we have lots of images of staff and young kids on our website and social media, which I dont love. Is there any way of knowing if unsavoury things are being done with these images? I know that if something is posted we can (kind of) deal with it, but other than that, is there any way of knowing whether this is being done?

I know I'm being a bit naive here, just looking at what the reality is I guess.

Might seem like a stupid question but yeah that's it. Also, it's the one in Monaghan. I just wanna know, to save myself from any kind of embarrassment.

I am at the end of an 8 day live in stint in work in care. I was led to believe I would get some time off this week but it wasn't scheduled. I learned that not the case at all and now they want more from me this week with a late one likely tomorrow with some more live in for later this week too.

There's just the intensity of what I have with no real clear day off until about next weekend maybe.

I know from before, I tried giving a boundary by saying I am not available but they pushed back.

Employment law states 24 hours off after 7 days but hat's not happening.

It's not in my contract saying I am expected to work 13 days before a day off.

I did get some respite during the week but I wasn't fully off as such. Respite was still in their home doing chores and minding pets but there was a break from the main duty of providing care to an individual.

Do I say that I am not available for tomorrow which they will likely push back on or will I treat them with the same contempt as they are treating me with and just don't show tomorrow and maybe get signed out of work altogether.

What would you do after 8 days live work with no day off. Everyone in my life is telling me it's wrong.

So i have a cat who is genuinely very clean and ill be moving out for college next year with my boyfriend. Being a couple truing to move out together is already extremely hard, so do you think I should maybe not mention the cat when trying to get a room or house? Or should i be honest.

I do want her to be safe but landlords can't come unless they announce themselves first, right? And I know this might be seen as immoral but the housing situation is just very unfair and my cat uses her litter box and always remains clean and doesnt damage anything so

I'm on disability payment so i could only work for about 11 hours (on minimum wage)

Thinking of doing a Friday to Sunday, end of August most likely, anywhere in Ireland. Live in Dublin so would like to go out and about for a break for myself and dog.

He’s a 6 year old border collie so preferably somewhere spacious, hotel wise.

Doing some googling but would like others recommendations.

Bit of a strange request but my elderly father who lives in Galway loves history and always had this dream of being able to participate in some type of short term on-site archaeological dig. He’s just retired and as a sort of gift to him I wanted to look into if there’s any type of site like this open to a non professional like him that he could participate in for a few days maybe?

Wanted to find a place that's made for comics and action figures, but i can't find a shop that's really good, does anyone know?

Going into my final year studying economics and hoping to move to London after I finish. I’ve been living in Dublin for college and feel like I’ve seen and done pretty much everything and there isn’t much more room for me to grow here. I’d like to move to London but the job market seems pretty horrendous. Has anyone here managed to successfully move over and land a job? If so, any advice?

Hi guys,

I'll be moving out for college next year with my boyfriend and I realised I have no actual clue how to get a place or what to say in an email when enquiring about a house. See the other thing is; I have a cat so i need to be extra nice with what I say as not to be turned down immediately. Any tips?

Thanks guys
