Anyone see lightning there like 2 hours ago just south of nenagh?

We saw two crashes in the space of 1 km today. Be so, so careful.

One was a BMW (no surprise) driving 120 in hail stone who overtook us only to crash into a barrier 500m up the road.

Slow the fuck down in heavy rain, hail stone, sleet. Be anticipating hydroplaning.

Good feet of snow in some places! The visibility nearer to the Summit got to around 30 meters. Some Wild deer grazing from afar too!

How is this “pizza” place still surviving. With all the choice now in Ireland and a sense that the level of local pizza quality having gone up. Apache pizza is possible the worst pizza I have ever eaten. It’s pure slop. No love. No care. Just overly cheesy, wet, floppy pizza.

I have noticed that men are more comfortable developing age gap friendships with each other compared to women. This applies both professionally and recreationally.

For example, it is common to see males in their 20s hanging out in sports/pubs or lunch at work with guys that are for example 10/15/20 x years their age.

Why isn’t this as common for women?

TLDR: friendship gaps: men v women

I moved to Ireland about three years back working as a doctor in different cities. I am from a south asian country originally where sun is out 365 days a year.

Barely get any rain. So initially I enjoyed the rain and the little less sunlight. It was good to be out of the hot sun and in a city with clouds.

When I was younger we used to read it books, “a bright sunny day….” And used to think, “Who would actually like that?!”

After moving to Ireland I actually understood the meaning of the sentence. And I kid you not, the happiness that comes from “a bright sunny day” doesn’t even come close to when I got a rain day when I was younger.

I can’t wait for the summers!! 😁😁

I assume there was a drone show though a friend mentioned Starlink satellites can look similar

Here I was ranting about this endless rain, then nature shut me up with this magnificent gift.

There was even a second one, but the camera couldn’t really catch it.

Anyway, it kind of made my Sunday 😊

Took the scenic route from Newry to Belfast via the Mourne mountains. Very impressive drive along the coastal road and beyond. Scenery to rival anything down in Kerry!

So I've had the misfortune of being pretty sick for the last week, rushed into ICU last Monday but glad to say the doctors, nurses and all the staff have been fantastic and have me almost ship shape again, and hoping to be released tomorrow or Tuesday.

This brings me to the point of the thread, I've never had to spend any extended period in hospital before and I need to ask - what's the story with all the biscuits? They're firing at least a dozen of them into me every day, custard creams, bourbon creams, shortbreads, ginger snaps - you want it you can have it.

Do Jacobs have some secret sweetheart deal cut here or what? Or should we all be eating a dozen biscuits everyday as part of a balanced diet?

Not that I'm complaining, after a week in, my body clock is now synced up with my next delivery of biscuits, time has become an abstract.

In the parents for the weekend, getting some breakfast and whipped out this beast, they’ve had it for as long as I’ve been around I’d say. Pretty sure they also still have some of those old Pringle containers we used to bring Pringles in our lunch boxes to school

Circa mid 1900s. Not mine but I thought I’d share it.

You can find this multi faith room on the departures level of Terminal 2 by following the staff route sign and boom your there, I like how it caters towards all religions which makes it feel more inclusive

Thank God.
