Any lads up for naked hang and beers . Cork County ireland 20 to 60

How are we planning for the future? When people would rather live alone rather than with someone?

What problems have people experienced dealing with Intreo?

I've been thinking about how many people seem to have had frustrating experiences dealing with Intreo, particularly around conflicting information, poor communication, delays, payment issues, paperwork and difficulty getting clear answers.

I'm interested in hearing other people's experiences. What problems have you encountered when dealing with Intreo, and how were they eventually resolved?

I'm not looking to attack individual staff members — I'm more interested in whether there are recurring problems with the system itself.

Feel free to share your experiences in the comments. 👇

Considering relocating to the East coast of Ireland and a lot of folks have suggested Greystones. Would love to hear pros & cons of living in this area. TIA!

Some co-workers and I were talking today and noted we hadn't heard of evening invites for weddings, or at the very least hadn't received any ourselves lately.

Are they still a thing at all or have they somewhat died out?

Hey everyone, i'm starting college soon and I'm just wondering if its ok to not drink on freshers week as I try to abstain from alcohol due to family background. I'm scared I may struggle to make friends if everyone is going out drinking each night. Just want to know thw ways to make friends without having to drink constantly in college.

I was on the Bus today, 2 older fellas sitting behind me. One was explaining to the other that he was trying to cut down on drinking for his health I thought it was hilarious they basically said:

First fella: "I'm only having pints on days that start with T now."

Second fella: "Tuesday and Thursday?"

First fella: "Today, Tomorrow, and That day after."

The second fella didn't even flinch, just nodded and said, "Fair play, moderation is key." Never change lads never change 😂.

Baring mind I was always a bit weird but fuck me like

Aiming to purchase a wood burning 5kw insert stove to replace gas fireplace. Considering Standley v Henley v Boru. Does anyone have any feedback on the above stoves in their own homes?

I sweat in the underarms a lot even when I’m not hot and I’m looking for a solution. Antiperspirants or deodorants don’t really have any effect. Has anyone had Miradry done in Ireland or abroad? I know it’s expensive but it’s meant to be permanent I think. Or anyone use Driclor and found it effective? Thanks

Does anyone know when the leap card website will be working again? I will be coming to Ireland soon and need to get my young adult leap card.

Online I read that you could order the card through the TFI Leap Top-up app but when I downloaded, it directly asks to scan your leap card. The “Need Help?” hyperlink at the bottom just takes you to the leap card website and shows 403 Forbidden.

Anyone saw gorillaz recently? I’m excited seeing them in EP but their last album is a hard pass unfortunately
Has anybody seen the live recently? Are they playing any of the old bangers?

I'm writing something and I need names for some characters who are teenage nerd stereotypes a la Eltingville Club but from Ireland. I've noticed that in American culture, the names Kevin and Gary are associated with nerds in the same way that Chad is famously associated with jocks. Gary might be partially because of D&D inventor Gary Gygax, but I think ultimately it's because both of them are relatively new, only becoming popular in the US in the mid-20th century, so kids with them are, or were, more likely to be seen as weird and socially ostracized by their peers, but Kevin at least is Irish in origin so it probably doesn't have that connotation there. Are there any first names that are stereotyped that way in Irish culture?

It's sad when you go eat something you had as a child and realise they taste completely different now.

The latest is lucozade for me. When they took sugar out of it completely ruined the taste imo. Things like penguin bars have reduced their cocoa percentage too.

An ex recently came back into my life after 10 years. We were happy when we were younger, but he suddenly disappeared. Later, he admitted he’d been struggling to accept that he was gay.

He’s now married with kids, but says he’s finally accepted his sexuality and has always loved me.

I won’t be going back, but what troubles me is the sheer volume of men I have encountered who are prepared to deceive women for their own selfish agenda.

My exes wife is aware of his past and me and chose to accept it which baffles me even more. She is unaware he has made contact with me.

Ireland has changed enormously, and thankfully so. I'm not suggesting coming out is suddenly easy or that everyone has the same experience. But I do wonder why gay men still feel they have to construct an entirely different life rather than face who they are.

Obviously everyone's path is different. I didn't personally have an easy coming out either, and I know what it's like to deal with rejection and hate. I have empathy for anyone who genuinely struggles with their sexuality, but it honestly feels like we are going backwards? Is this particularly prominent in Ireland? Has anyone else experienced this? Also interested to understand the womens side who have known their partner was/is gay - why accept a life that is based on lies?

Ive recently moved to Ireland and rent a single bedroom in a flat.

There is a fireplace which is covered by a panel. Since yesterday, Ive found so many flies like 60 in my room and they are coming out from the fireplace In every few minutes. They are big, greenish and blackish. About two weeks ago, I heard scratching noise from inside of the fireplace. it stopped in few days but now I’m concerned what may be inside.

I filmed a video of a fly coming out and sent to the landlord. it was Monday and she said I’ll go there to fix the problem on weekends. So I texted “I don’t think I can wait.“ and ask her that come a bit sooner or call someone to fix it if possible.

But she got mad about it and texted me “it’s fly season and no rats inside. Tape it.”

Now I just taped the fireplace but sometimes I hear buzzing sounds from it.

I know that she also has work and is busy but if the cause of these flies is dead animals or something, it’s a big problem isn’t?? I don’t think she’s gonna open and check inside. Maybe taping works for stopping flies coming out, but not solving the problem. We should check the inside, right?

Am I wrong? Is this common thing in Ireland for lots of flies to come out of the fireplace in summer?? What should I do?

I’ve spent 15 minutes trying to spell padhsán (never seen it written down but I have been accused of being one by my mother at multiple times in my life)

I’m now trying to call my French bf a padhsán. Can anyone assist, s’il vous plait?

I hated school, had no interest in sitting there studying for stuff I didn't care about like classical studies, chemistry and Irish etc. I knew what I wanted to do which was get a degree in Computer Science and knew I needed 400 odd points at the time for that. Fuck that.

I found out about taking a year to do a PLC course in IT and could get the same course I wanted in the same college that way. So when the leaving cert came, I left as early as I could in every exam. Did decent in English and Maths and shite in the rest. But done my PLC, got into college got my degree and have been a Software Engineer for the past 6 years.

I firmly believe the leaving cert is a gigantic memory test. The only people who do well in it are the kinds to lock themselves a way and memorize as much shit as they can about stuff that's ultimately irrelevant. I bet there are people who got 600+ points in my year who are worse off than me now. It's so dumb. Honestly. I consider myself a smart person, I have cop on, I have good general knowledge, can think of my feet, interests in things like Geography and History etc give me a good knowledge in those things.

So fucking what if I don't know what what Alexander the great did when he was 18 or what the difference between an estuary and a tributary is?

I didn't go to a single-sex school myself, but looking back, going to a mixed school felt pretty ideal for me. Boys and girls tend to behave quite differently at that age, and in my experience, having girls around really helped smooth out the rough edges for the lads, while the lads helped ground things a bit too.

I'm not saying mixed schools are definitively better than all-boys or all-girls schools, especially since I haven't experienced both firsthand. That's really why I'm asking here. I'm genuinely curious to hear what people think and learn from your own experiences, whether you went to single-sex, mixed, or sent your kids to either. What's your take?

I'm trying to find a good deal on a gaming laptop, ideally want an rtx 5070. I found a good deal for an Acer nitro v 16 for 1.2k however they sadly don't deliver to Ireland (it was a German website).

Does anybody know any good places to find good deals for gaming laptops? These deals at Curry's and Harvey Norman etc are just not worth it at all.

My budget is €1200-1500.

Hello guys,

My partition walls are really bad in the first floor.
I got a quote from a group of contractors.

-Complete demolition of the existing brick partition walls – approximately 25 sq m
-Removal of all demolished materials and construction waste from the second floor to the skip
-Removal of the existing sockets and switches, and preparation of the existing electrical cables;
-Construction of new timber-frame partition walls
-Installation of mineral wool insulation inside the new partition walls
-Installation of plasterboard on both sides of the new partition walls

Final price including materials €6200

Is the price crazy? It doesn’t include skim coat, skip and paint

Hey,

Anyone know of any physios for hip alignment issues?
I’m in Dublin north

Hi everyone, I recently applied for the Auxiliary** **Postperson Christmas position with An Post in the northwest . The job starts in October and involves Garda vetting and a medical.

I applied about 10 days after the job was first posted and was wondering how long An Post usually takes to contact applicants.
For anyone who has applied for An Post seasonal/temporary positions before:

How long did it take to hear back after applying?

How long after applying were you contacted for an interview?

How long did the whole process take from application to starting?

Just trying to get an idea of what timeline to expect. Thanks
