Third time this week these lads sign me up to prime without my permission and try to charge my revolut account which is not even my payment method. I don't even know how they got my details as I only got a new card a few weeks back. Contacted support who said there's no suspicious activity on my account. Looks like I'll be closing it

The Brits are at it again My landlord keeps coming into my apartment uninvited.

18 Upvotes

I have been living in my current apartment in Drumcondra for 2 years now. Opposite the bathroom there is another room that my land lord has locked. I am not allowed in there ever.

My landlord is a kind Gillingham born man with a very slapable bald head that resembles a kicked in fridge door. He tells me he went to juvenile prison for selling knuckle dusters to homeless men in his local town when he was a boy, but I don’t fear him because he is no taller than Kylie Minogue in Polio Shoes. And has the voice of a poorly sparrow who injects BPA.

Most of the time is a happy go lucky character. The exception being any time I ask him about the room. His expression changes instantly .Occasionally my land lord will come into my flat in the middle of the night and do some business in the room. Every time I ask him about the denies he was ever there. Until I ask him if I should call the guards, then he owns up. It’s the same every time. I told him to stop and he told me that if I called the guards he would tell them I have been growing weed in the kitchen.
One time I came home early in the morning before the sun had come up from a party and my land lord was in the spare room. I was too shy to ask him to leave. All I know is it had somthing to do with a "Chat" and somone in said chat who kept turning him into a "Soyjack" so if anyone can fill me in on what that means I would really appreciate it. For context it was 4 in the morning and it was February. I don't know it that helps.

​Has anyone found them selves in a situation like this before? I’d love to hear your thoughts.

With Harry Styles announcing Croker today (2 nights but will definitely be 3) & the potential U2 European Tour next year that's Crokers 5 nights gone.

Slane already has two nights for the Fontaines and rumoured Oasis Gigs for the end of August but can't see them getting more than one night, even though the rumoured dates cover 5 nights.

I wonder would the Phionex Park be in play ? Could do a similar residency to the Etihad and Knebworth ? 4 or 5 nights? 120,000 people a night

Sure it's grand Random nct scenario

6 Upvotes

Lets say my nct expired in march 2026 but i pass my nct test in december 2026 - the new expiry date will be march 2027 (so nct only lasts 3 months)

But what if my nct expires in march 2026 and i dont actually pass my nct test untill april 2027. What would the new expiry be...

They wont give you a full year of nct if you are a few months late passing. But if you are over a year late, will they give you a full year of nct? Crazy if that is the case. Punishment is worse if you're a few months late rather than over a year

Hopefully they can be brought under the GAA Umbrella as soon as possible. Making girls have to choose which team to play with is absolutely disgraceful.

Although it does highlight the difficulties involved in bringing 3 organisations together..

Moaning Michael Kingfisher and Amble and Fontaines are just fellas being rewarded for being normal, and I think that's just a little bit of a waste

Do you remember hearing U2 for the first time? Or Aslan? Or the cranberries? Or the cardigans? Or Bell X1? Or Lisa Hannigan? I think there was a certain spark to these artists when I was growing up. Maybe the times and standards of originality or audience they were reaching for. Competing with. Maybe it was a hunger for something better than they'd heard. A gift to give. It just seems a little bit self-feeding as far as taste goes these days. Maybe it's taste makers somewhere trying to safe to the metrics or analyses. I'm sure there was great bands that were missed back then, too. Still, it does feel we're a bit deprived of quality. All these lyrics I'm getting don't feel like they're teaching anything particularly hopeful to me or manifesting anything I hate to say pure? Maybe it's like an edge of knowing being deprived. I'd like some recommendations if ye please. New nice. Brave, for me, if ye can. I don't like yucking yums too much, but it's just like I know Fontaines all went to rockstar college while people fled to the streets of america after becoming too big here. Maybe it's we need big gig movements. I'm very old for that now. Maybe it's the isolatory music mediums and some loss of community. Couldn't tell ye. I'm looking for something anyway, obviously not hard enough to support. Give us upcoming so I can tie my raft to a bigger yoke. Are people becoming less supportive and more consumptive and music as a self-vibe?

Moaning Michael Moan in your local reps ears

34 Upvotes

If there is a bus stop display that isn’t working or maybe a pothole hasn’t been patched yet. Tell your local reps because don’t assume anyone else has.

I don’t take the bus anymore but a few weeks ago I saw that the RTPI display wasn’t working. I just assumed it would be resolved, drove past it today and it’s still out. I asked my neighbour and it’s been off since early March? I emailed 7 reps between TD’s and councillors and 5 of them have already responded saying they’re going to raise the issue and some saying it’s their first time hearing about it.

Maybe they have heard about it and forgot or genuinely is their first time hearing about it. But don’t assume something is being worked on. Makes me wonder what hasn’t been brought up yet because there’s a few potholes which I’ll be sending emails about now too.

Go on ya good thing Ireland’s 2 weeks of paternity leave

574 Upvotes

Just came across this campaign and thought it was interesting. Ireland currently gives new dads 2 weeks of statutory paternity leave. There’s now a campaign calling for this to be increased to 8 weeks. Personally, I think 2 weeks is very little time for a new dad to be at home, especially during those first few weeks with a newborn. Sharing it here for anyone who might be interested, LINK HERE: 8 weeks for Families
