    McDonalds restaurants are really clean and fussy as fcuk about their supply lines and the ingredients/suppliers they use. I have no idea why they don't bang on about that more to the general public.

    A multinational record label somewhere in Europe keep a stale old box of croutons on top of the books in the library in their basement.

    A very well known football club in Europe treat their staff like muck. Politicians/VIP business people frequently buy their season tickets for the club with suitcases of cash. Huge amounts of tax evasion going on in this particular club. Lots of very shady dealings generally.

    A surprising number of politicians are hardworking, honest and decent human beings with a genuine sense of civic duty. The amount of abuse and harassment they receive from a certain of proportion of the electorate makes it an emotionally draining job.

    The Department of Foreign Affairs remains an old boys club.

    James Reilly is an abrasive, but extremely competent Minister of Health. The size of our country and the parochial nature of politics as a result makes radical change almost impossible.

    Luke 'Ming' Flanagan is a hypocrite.

    The reason why they call it KFC is because they can not use the word chicken anymore. Why? KFC does not use real chickens. They actually use genetically manipulated organisms. These so called “chickens” are kept alive by tubes inserted into their bodies to pump blood and nutrients throughout their structure. They have no feathers, and no feet. Their bone structure is dramatically shrunk to get more meat out of them.

    I work for one a few companies in the cities that offers tourists "free walking tours" - the companies actually charge the guides per person who goes on them. So if you don't tip your guide he still has to pay for you.

    Almost everything in tourism is fed by commission. Hostel staff, guides and tourist information centres are all bull****. Even the most official looking tourist info places in the city charge for info to be displayed. In my industry any tour/pubcrawl/bus transfer a receptionist sells you they are making 20-40 percent on.

    Wouldn't name five individuals for fear of expressing favouritism. With one notable exception all of our current cabinet ministers work extremely hard. Not all of them are up to their portfolio of course. A significant reshuffle early next year.

    They extorted them a couple years back by kidnapping the owners son. He was released unharmed shortly afterwards so presumably they paid or came to some other arrangement. Russian crime is very sophisticated so it wouldn't surprise me.

    The linen provided to public hospitals is quite often the linen that was too dirty to go to a hotel.

    The confidentiality of medical records is not the biggest concern to hospitals and medical records on the end of beds often end up coming back to the companies that supply the hospitals linen with the dirty linen by mistake.

    That vinegar from a chipper is not actually vinegar. It's made from 20 litre drums of acid diluted down. My co worker said he once split it on the floor and it melted his shoes. The same acid has a warning about damage to lungs.

    Unless chipper vinegar is brown its this diluted acid.

    Vinegar is ethanoic acid diluted with water.

    Worked in an independent grocers. The bread man came every morning with the fresh bread and the day old stuff that didn't sell he collected went straight to Dunnes and Super Valu. Then again mass produced bread is so full of preservatives it probably didn't matter much.
    Worked in a residential disability unit where medication was used in lieu of adequate staffing to control residents who were bored out of their minds staring at the four walls. A new psychiatrist came in and threatened to expose the whole thing and go the guards. 10 new staff were hired the following week.
