Sentimental ring?

Listen this is probably stupid but like a month and a half ago (prob two at this point) I lost my mothers graduation ring at DCU St Pats - and it’s been killing me with guilt since. She loved it, I loved it, and considering I go to the same school she did it makes it even worse. Oh also they don’t give them out here anymore so if I had any hope of getting a new one I’d have to go to fucking Australia. No thanks.

I’ve tried everything I can think of and this is an absolute last ditch effort because I’m sick of literally losing sleep over it. I get it’s irrational and even she keeps saying it doesn’t really matter but lads this is killing me inside out.

It’s the Loreto College graduation ring, I’m pretty sure I left it in the bathrooms when I washed my hands. If you or somebody you know took it PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD just drop it into the dcu lost and found. I couldn’t care less that you took it, I would do the same if I saw a pretty unattended ring late at night in a college bathroom, but I just need this one thing back. Please.

That concludes the rant. I don’t expect anything to come of this but please if you have it just hand it in and end my eternal suffering x

I would prefer the most expensive building in Ireland be a hospital to save the lives of children instead of an office complex or a casino or a billionaires house.

So much moaning over the cost overrun.

Basically every construction project has cost overruns. I'm not against better planning or whatever but the fact of the matter is that people aren't very good at estimating massive once in a life times construction projects that take a decade to complete.

Nothing is ever going to get built if we're going to raise a stink about every more expensive than initially estimated project. I'll bet my right nut that MetroLink is gonna go above whatever budget is set. I'd still prefer having a train to the airport that cost 2 times more than expected over having no such train.

The countries rolling in cash. I could understand if it was 10 times more expensive but it ain't. We're fine for money lads. And at the end we'll have a state of the art childrens hospital. Do you think any of the parents whos kid gets to live is going to fucking care if this costs four or five times more than anticipated?

Three bird roast

All I want for Christmas is… a three bird roast.

While I do love hearing Mariah at Christmas what I really want is a three bird roast in my Aga for Christmas. It appears I’m on the wrong island for this and it’s bothering me. Almost everything else is better here in Ireland but I can’t believe I can’t get a good three bird roast here.

So I ask you Ireland as my google-fu (well Kagi) is failing me does anywhere (other than Lidl) do a three bird roast here or am I going shopping using the ferry for Christmas dinner?

laptopsdirect & custom taxes

Hi! Asking for my bil who doesn't use Reddit.

Has anyone made a purchase on laptopsdirect since brexit? Do they handle the customs charges like amazon, or do you get caught on delivery?

Derelict House Grant

Has anybody been through this or know someone who is been through this?

With the crazy prices of buying a house I was looking if this would be as good as it sounds for a way of getting onto the housing market. I might just be being very naive about it all but is there any glaring oversights to consider?

Original Irish Music

Hey all, I stumbled across this song that I really enjoyed and thought I'd share it here! To the best of my knowledge the song is original. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DBecB_5s2Cx/?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

Sorry, can someone leave me know if THC is illegal in Ireland or not?

There's a shop that sells pre-rolles THC fags in town. All the lads swear it's illegal but I always thought it was just a legal version of hash. Sold over the counter and you get a receipt for it like.

Audience silent after ‘Small Things Like These’

Went I see it last night in Cork, audience was dead silent at the end when the credits rolled, no one moved for a good 5-10 mins.

Would definitely recommend it. It’s very dark and intense but in such a simple way. Cillian Murphy great as expected.

Today's lunchtime news - was it on?

We have the lunchtime news on a record everyday. Today, it showed in the sky guide as on at 1pm.. but it doesn't seem to have been on? Was it? Did it start earlier?

We got the weather, but no news. And there were ads before the weather, whilst normally there are only the tourism bits between the news and weather.

So confused!!

Edit: I'm referring to the RTE news

Longing for the tastes of home!

Lads ,

I’ve been out of the country for way too long and miss the tastes of home , sausages, bacon , Tayto,King, Club and even Brennans Family Pan .

Has anyone ever used or can recommend a retailer that would ship these to Europe?

I’m over in Poland and prior to me coming home for a bit I want to introduce my better half to some culinary delights.

Appreciate the help !
