Ever wondered why airlines overbook seats? Because on average about 10-20 people don't check in for a flight, and for the airlines to make money they need to have full planes. so they oversell the aircraft based on the average number of people they hope will not turn up.

I don't see why they'd need to overbook flights, maybe this was the case back in the day but these days? You pay for your flight up front and if 30 people don't show up it could only mean the airline is saving money by not having to transport them and their shyte.

- The milk in kays kitchen is pretty much slops. When someone gets a tea or coffee but leaves milk left over in the little metal jug. It gets poured into a bigger jug thats left out all day. Constantly getting filled up by left overs. Then plopped into the fridge for next days consumption.

Don't' see anything wrong with that really. It's not like milk turns deadly as soon as it leaves the milk carton.

Perhaps the HIQA reports have made them realise that patients' lives are in their germy hands.

We're a bit behind the times; in other countries medical staff wear scrubs which are washed at high temperature in the hospital, and must never be worn outside. Here, I was cycling past Holles Street last week and seven or eight doctors with their white coats flying walked out on the way to their coffee break.

Paediatric docs don't wear white coats, never wash their hands, wear Stethascopes to lunch, NEVER clean them, sit on bins as not allowed to sit on beds and never care because they always complain.


Nurses always wash hands but are so underpaid do agency work on days off, hospitals never ask - even if they know a nurse is working elsewhere, admission of liability,

Hospitals get FOREWARNED about HIQA visits, get faxes/ emails with questions to be asked, so never un announced

Those ads you see asking for donations to send poor Fred, Alice or Bob, to school, hospital, or to build a training center, are pulling on your heart strings and are usually just a technique to make donating personal.
I know most of you know this but Ive worked with people who said "but thats Fred, hes already in training hes just down the corrridor right now, why are they asking people to give him money". So I guess some people dont realise their €10 isnt actually going to send Fred for training.

And Yea! Yea! I know it all goes into the central funding to pay for the organisation and ultimately you could say it goes to Freds training. Well thats what we are told but what we are still not told is how much management like the CEO or deputy CEO etc gets for their salary or how much extra on top of that salary is given out of funding.
Not all charities have declared this information and charities go under different classifications so some especially those who do not receive a particular kind of government funding havent had to declare such information, yet. So it can be worth your while when you are on a visit to see all the good work done in a charitable organisation looking for your funding, to go around to the area where management parks and take a look at some of the cars there to maybe get a clue about how much money they are making.

Ive seen groups of people from various buisness spend a few days on the grounds of a charity, bonding with one another I suppose, and complete a work like a garden or a wall or play area, the patients, trainees, students are wheeled or walked out, photos are taken and people feel good about themselves. Then some time later Ive watched the whole thing be bulldozed down and a different project go up in the same place. It doesnt matter if the patients never used it because the whole thing was really about good public relations and people associating the charity with feeling good about themselves and they will give money in future to something they feel connected with and have been to. Yea! those people may have been on the grounds of the charity but it takes a while to know whats going on in a place.

On that feel good factor, a lot of people I have spoken to dont like those busses that go around with such and such a club donated this bus and the name of the CHARITY written big all over the sides front and back of the bus. Some of the users of the buses would like to arrive in places without a big message that they are different and the recipients of CHARITY announced to everyone before they even get off the bus. But the people who donated to the charity feel good about themselves so thats ok then.

Worked in a Chinese take away in Dublin.
Twice a week the uncooked chickens where delivered, brought in the back door and into the kitchen, trays of chickens emptied onto the floor. These chickens would stay on the floor most of the day even gettin walked on and kicked around until we got through them all to take the wings off them and such.

Then they were put into the hot grease to cook, then taken out and placed straight into the freezer to be used again during the week. When they were taking out on another day they would sit defrosting , if they weren't used that day there were frozen again.
I'd say nearly all take aways would be closed up if the truth was known about them.

The last Chinese I had was from a highly regarded one locally and everything, especially the chicken, tasted of rubber. Now I probably know why.

Havent had one since.

I strip a chicken (kinky) until I get every last piece of meat out of it, sandwiches, curries etc. (the juiciest part is the thigh and wings). I still don't know what part of the chicken they use!

They use its cubes - only special chickens have cubes. They feed the chicks pure Vodka and Koka noodles to create the cubey texture.
