Used to live right next to it. Would get hungry at night and go at 2am, then find myself regretting it as I have to wait for 20 minutes for all the drunks to be served!

In Dublin, household brings in about 150k euros altogether. I do not feel wealthy, closer to poor. The way inflation has raised up the price of everything is maddening. Lots of money comes in but then goes right back out!

Well said. I stopped reading after point 13 for this very reason!

Eternity is superb. All the others I tried were a bit laggy!

I’ve seen/heard a few Americans (old and young) saying something like “it has been a minute” to indicate “it has been a long time”. What the hell is that? How did that start? Please someone enlighten me

Was going to vote for her anyway, but now I am going to pretend to be a communist. “As a communist in Ireland there was only ever one choice…”

Germany? What’s up with the staring thing?

Ireland: chicken fillet rolls, spice bags

Scotland: deep fried pizzas, macaroni pies

Luxury, I had 9.5k and had to spend it to survive for 2 years while I looked for a job.

This is absolutely brilliant. Struggling to see what the catch is. Since we got 2 euros fares here in Dublin we are all crammed into the tram/train/bus like sardines. But a wee bit of discomfort for a cheaper journey? I’ll take it

It’s bang on, I’d say. With all the money sloshing around, you’d think they’d have some half decent public transport or a fully universal health care system or a military… Boggles the mind

Ireland here. I have been relatively lucky with my health since I’ve been here (last 10 years). The GP I go to gives a small discount because of where i work. I pay 50 euros a pop to see the doc (usually 60 I think) but the last two times I needed to see the doc it was a same day appointment. I paid for insurance the first year I was here, tried to use it when I saw a GP and they laughed in my face. Also frequently had my daughter seen (for free), they seem to keep increasing the age for which kids are seen for free, now up to age 7?

Ori and the will of the wisps

Hold on a second. Following hashtags? Well I learned something today. Back to mastadon for me
