This sort of thing puts me off buying a new car, ideally I want the option to pay for the car monthly and if they want to pull a stunt like that I can just hand it back. Not going to be an option anytime soon.
The green objectives are fine so long as nothing changes about my life positions being repeated in it without challenge are the most depressing part
And we could export wind energy out it rather than only importing
Once we got the heating recovery ventilation in nope, seeing the amount of stuff the filters catch would put you off opening the windows ever again
I had a similar reaction to an article this week claiming that limits on the amount of property that could be held in a pension would be terrible. The property wouldn't cease to exist if it had to come out of the tax wrapper
It is even worse because they are capable of it. Was reminded this week about Michael Martin bringing in the smoking ban which shows he can do that it. The current failure to try is a choice rather than a lack of ability.
Well worth 10 minutes of your time today
My newly gifted copy has been taken from me within minutes of unwrapping by others in the house
Christmas lights on the trees along a street at night
Our street has a lovely tradition of folks putting simple sets of lights on the trunks of the trees along the road at Christmas. I have been doing the tree outside an elderly neighbours along with those in front of mine.
Today I discovered that someone has stolen that set. #grinch #coalforxmas

Pandas sculpture
Peacock sculpture
Wild lights was once more a great outing on a winters evening. Highly recommend for anyone vaguely near Dublin zoo.
I don't understand the point of the taxi drivers protest today. There are multiple other dispatch apps so don't use the one that you are having a pricing dispute with. More effective than annoying all your customers who likely would use which ever app has a critical mass of drivers.
The morning load rise as eirgrid call it is steeper than the evening one so storage lets the other generation catch up
Why in a country with our weather do we insist on having outdoor train stations
You should know that the US government was the guarantor for Ryanair's post 9/11 aircraft orders. This was done to keep the production line running.
Into triple digits, emergency stockpiles are being tapped
Kids in Halloween costumes making voting fun this morning
Anpost parcel notification showing zero effort to deliver
Super frustrating update from anpost where they don't actually tell you that they are not going to bother attempting to deliver and instead you have to go collect from the depot.
Irish people are excluded from the legal definition of Foreign under UK law
Since the president has zero actual power and is 99.99% ceremonial can we replace the debates/interviews with skill tests. Can they deliver a speech opening a civic centre in the rain?
Can they learn the names and faces of 50 visiting dignitaries in 10 minute, then recall them in a receiving line?
Currently an hour into an ESB outage for scheduled work but the entire house is running off solar. Zero disruption. The future is pretty cool
Attempting to enter politics at the presidential election would be like trying to learn hurling while playing in an all Ireland final. At this stage we have enough data to say it doesn't end well.
A good point - everyone trying to run for president now had 7 years to try and get about 20 people to like them, and are still falling at this hurdle. Our elections are not a surprise.
I'm a loser with deep social anxiety and even I reckon I could get 20 people to like me over the course of 7 years
Cold and Sunny days for the win
Anyone here able to ID this industrious spider. They built a web several meters wide across our driveway overnight.
I have received zero from any party/candidate in the last year since I updated moved my vote last year and gave my email/phone number.
I did have one email exchange with a member of the franchise office to validate that a set of suspected duplicate entries were all me and could be cleaned up
Humans really are the worst.
That is a pretty large bubble of people who need to flow through all the various bits of state institutions
My no Zuck rule is aging quite nicely
Every government TD I have contacted about it have parroted the dept of justices position that it is a good thing
Have a relative visiting this weekend who is a passionate GAA supporter so a lot of time has been spent watching live streams of various club games on clubber. It's a great use of the internet but my main takeaway is that GAA clubs need a broadband service optimised for broadcast
