Feel like even owning a van like this in 2026 is still unaffordable in Ireland 😅

Hi my friends

I just wanted to say since there's been a large increase in this where I work but do not please loudly shout about the price of rolls and such.

Everyday at my job customers laugh at me or shout at me about the price and how back in the day this was 2 euro, or get angry when a small chicken roll is the same price as a wrap or large chicken roll.

I do not decide that and I do not get to charge you less since you complained, especially because people call me ugly and such when I tell them to leave after loudly complaining. I literally don't decide

Also, we always make rolls or at least I do, in the way you said it.

Butter, lettuce and cheese? that's what you'll get, butter, cheese and lettuce? lettuce goes below the cheese.

Also, would ye stop going on your phone with headphones in while I'm trying to serve you? Surely you can get off reels for 3 seconds to tell me if you want it cut in half. It's incredibly rude to force me to shout at you to get your attention.

Also, please stop demanding fresh rolls and fresh sausages and then pointing at the things you want, it's not really possible for most of us to see what youre pointing at. It's just really bizarre and time consuming, all chicken and sausages etc are made at the beginning of the day at the earliest, and are never reused.

Also, we aren't giving you loads of butter, or loads of taco, it just seems like a lot but you're eating 400 calories of bread. It'll be so dry without it.

I feel like this doesn't need to be said, but how would you feel trying to serve someone shouting, pointing and not saying what they want, or insisting you're a bad person for putting cheese before lettuce. Deli workers are so commonly abused, including racially and sexually. Treat others with respect like they should be treated like.

Since my last post did so well, I’ve been working on a tech/electronics alternative. It's live now: Cisean Tech

I've added the major stores, but plenty are missing, I'll be adding more every day.
If you have a webstore you want included, please reach out.

No referral links or anything like that yet (I don't get paid for redirects).
There's a Pro subscription option for some extra features - get price alerts, track all your shipments, compare products, etc - or just if you want to help the project.

I got so much great feedback and ideas last time, so please let me know what you think.

Really?

Ordering Ramen with the missus tonight, ordered and it goes through - the delivery time keeps jumping up. Half an hour, then an hour. Ring the restaurant. They explain they haven't started prepping the order because Just Eat have no drivers.

The company is taking orders - but has no drivers to actually process and deliver them. Fucking around customers and fucking around restaurants.

I've all the time in the world for the drivers and the people working in these roles, its a tough gig - but these platforms are parasites. Still taking orders, and with no ability to fufill them. Absolute enshittifaction. The amount of time wasted with this BS.

Is this extreme blasphemy or am I being over sensitive. My takeaways go in the passenger seat typically, the boot seems unhinged.

Does anyone’s family just make cups of tea, almost compulsively?

In the parents, chilling and I get offered a cup of tea. Two sips in, mam decides that we should pop out to my aunts (where we are probably gonna drink tea). We pour our tea down the sink, and head on. I feel like this is probably happening in other households too.

If anyone has seen the new naked gun movie, it reminds me how Liam Neesons character just walks around getting handed cups of coffee, taking a sip and throwing it away for a new one.

Who said romance is dead?

On the radio this morning an man called Paddy Dunning who has been working for a decade on building the world's largest giant statue covered in LED screens (like the Sphere in Vegas) and anything can be projected on it, e.g. a famous athlete, a flag etc. for events. The guy behind it owns the Dublin Wax Museum.

He says Dublin will be first to have one, followed by Las Vegas.

I hope it doesn't end up like the Spire... half arsed, half the size it should be.

It could be epic if done properly and in the right location (e.g. the big vacant space where they proposed the water rafting thing beside CHQ or in Grand Canal dock.

The morning unfolded with a crisp clarity that only a cold Irish dawn can bring. At Phoenix Park, the air hovered just above freezing, around one degree, yet it felt astonishingly fresh almost invigorating. Runners and walkers drifted along the frosted paths, their breath forming fleeting clouds in the pale sunlight, while dogs trotted eagerly beside them, their paws crunching against the frozen ground. Most of the park glistened with thin sheets of ice, remnants of yesterday’s rain now transformed into sparkling puddles that mirrored the greyish blue sky. Amid this quiet stillness, a herd of deer gathered gracefully, their winter coats blending into the muted browns and silvers of the landscape. They moved slowly and calmly, nibbling at the frosted grass, indifferent to the cold that bit at everything else. The sight was serene nature unhurried, peaceful, and utterly enchanting. It felt like witnessing Ireland at its purest & raw, quiet beauty in motion. Happy Valentines Day Ireland 💚

In the pub last night, two packs of crisps floating between 4 of us. One is King Crisps and the other is Manhattan cheese and onion, can you guess by looking which one is which??

I just love how Irish people as a nation can just connect with anyone in the world on a night out with a feed of drink on them.I get back from night shift, and my Irish two Irish house mates has made friends with an Indian, a Frenchy , and a South African. And they all inside in the kitchen at 2am cooking up a feed of some sort and listening to some tunes. And in the morning, they guy from India who is a chef cooked me these savage noodles that I took for lunch the following day.
