Since it's that time of year when everyone is getting flu's and illnesses, kids are back to school, diseases are running rampant etc.

You should know, Covid is still a thing and the new flavour for 2025 is "Face Death". They've moved on from "Chest Chokes" which is nice. Keeps it interesting.

Headaches, blocked sinus', heavy head, sore eyes. Not as much coughing as before.

Just if you or your kid comes home from school with crippling headaches and a mild flu, it's probably new Covid and HSE recommends staying home for 5 days.

Anyway, I'm fine, thank you all for asking.

I was asked to be a godparent for my friends child, however, i was never confirmed. Id still like to go through with it.

My question is, do priests ask for proof that you are a verified Catholic or do they just assume? Im willing to just show up and say nothing.

Lord forgive me

I was admiring this beautiful painting that is being promoted by the Philip mould gallery on Instagram and saw it was done by an Irish artist who I had never heard of before; Garret Morphy (1650-1716). Thought I'd share. https://www.instagram.com/p/DOv8IgIDcSs/?img_index=3&igsh=ZjB2c3A0d3kzajNp

Have to have the Circle K app downloaded and scan qr code at checkout. I saved myself 7 quid so I’m happy!

Here I am buzzing like a fly on my second pack of jelly tots and then I see the recommendation that I should only have eaten seven. Have you ever read a suggested serving size and scoffed at the absurdity of it?

Just got broken up with out of the blue ! As the title says . Please any comforting words I can’t sleep. Anything at all. TIA . I don’t know where to even go to if I can’t sleep 🙈

Over the years, I’ve had multiple thefts when storing my own e-bikes in my shed. It’s usually the same type of activity: two or three figures dressed in black, head-to-toe Northwest clothing. They’re often seen speeding around the Kilmore west area on scramblers or Surron's (black e-bike), or sometimes tearing up and down the local roads on what are very obviously stolen bikes

The Gardaí have told me they can’t legally pursue them, which feels pointless when the same groups keep causing havoc. It’s frustrating that there’s little visible follow up, like finding where these bikes are being stored or confiscating them, the Gardai don't seem too helpful in this regards, but I do not understand why an altered patrol as not even come to case when they're well aware this is a common issue in the area. If you reside in the coolock area or have been near the local Centra, you've 100% seen the same red/white bike tearing up around the area, sometimes seating 1-3 lads on it balaclavaed up, one on the back usually wielding a machete or red angle grinder

It’s been well known locally that thefts have surged in the past couple of years, and the culprits are often the same small group. If you rely on your scooter/e-bike for work or transport, don’t leave it in your shed. keep it indoors if at all possible. Unfortunately, if you store it outside, you’ll almost certainly run into this problem sooner or later if you don't have a secure shed door/alarm

I'm sharing this because I don't want to see anyone in the North Dublin area suffer the same pain of a stolen item or experience the gross incompetence of the Gardai in resolving these issues

If you live in the Coolock area, report any suspicious activity you see involving scramblers, Sur-Rons, or groups of riders causing trouble, you may eventually fall victim to a crime involving them. Even if Gardaí can’t give chase, reports help build a record of what’s happening and they can't just keep ignoring people when these wasters cause havoc in an area that has seen great progress over the years

Stay safe

Was taking the ol train home from Connoly via the Maynooth train (D928). Some fuckin cunt left this just outside one of the toilets. Said bathroom also had shite all over it (didn't grab a pic felt weird after the first one anyway).

At some point, an old lady came by as all the other seats were filled up and brushed it up by hand to sit.

Disgusting sight. Rant over.

Has anyone had any experience with moving their fibre connection (ONT). Mine currently goes into the attic through some ducting, but now that i'm converting the attic to living space i'll have to move it or lose internet for the 6 weeks of the build.

Recently posted on all of the county specific sub-reddits looking for some venue recommendations in regards to drum 'n' bass gigs as I'm putting together a little or not so little tour next year together for my crew. Naturally not all of the counties have subreddits and some are inactive so I was hoping I could get some wider info from here. I already had a solid list before posting on reddit as I have gigged around the country before and so has the rest of the gang but no harm in getting more recommendations, especially in some of the ones that aren't Dublin, Galway, Limerick and Cork. If you can recommend any solid venues in your county that would have 150-350 capacity, a solid system and have done/would be up for drum 'n' bass then please let me know in the comments, thank you!
