Have you tried turning it off & back on again.

I don't smoke so pretty shocked a pack costs 14 quid. The last time I paid attention they were around 7!

The lack of holidays /duty free will really turn them into cash cows.

It'll be like an episode of Porridge!


Does the black market trade round Mary St still go on? Back 10 years ago I had Polish housemates and they did well out of bringing back the oul Polski Cigski. Had a few cartons meself. Very glad I don't smoke anymore.

A tenner a pack, the last time I smoked. But smokes have been lashed out of it for years now. A real cash cow indeed.

The Eastern European cigski run is alive and well. I have Latvian friends that depend on it. Booze too.:eek:

I haven’t seen or heard anything about the budget, how bad is it?

Budget and Covid News digested. Feeling positive. Ms G sorted for school as usual. Dinners all done (having mine in a bit). All relaxed here as we roll into dreamland. I'm winding down with a wonderful documentary about Oliver Reed, one fantastic actor. Thankful that I got to enjoy a few pints with him in Cork, before he passed. All by accident. Stay cool folks!

I don't think we can and I didn't do it in a touristy hanger on scenario either. But sure look, it was as it was back then, down there. Different times.

Budget could have been a lot worse.

Looking for something lighthearted to watch. Just after re-watching Silence of the Lambs.

Budget has made very little difference to me, which is surprising.
Cheap cat food up for grabs on Amazon for Prime Day. Saves on some Covid shopping although, like many, I feel Prime Day is becoming too commercialised.

Chilled out here couchside and watching a fascinating documentary on undersea exploration of a sunken slave ship.

Good morning world, work time for me We have a full schedule today so it doesn’t even look like we have any pandemic.

Binged watched THE RANCH, season 1-8 so a total of 80 episodes, I got to the stage where I thought that i was part of their family.

Starting a course today, unfortunately for me it is now all online. I really think I need the structure of a classroom setting to motivate myself. Also, it's online webinars & I'm so bad with technology I don't even know if I'll be able to get onto it!!!!
Panic.

Good luck! Learning online is so different to the classroom, but hopefully you'll manage to get into the swing. And definitely let your IT department and/or teacher know if you're struggling with tech. You won't be alone alone on that front - a significant amount of my term so far has been writing out point-by-point notes on accessing and using new software.


Where I am is on a break from my favourite seminar group (because they turn up and both ask and answer questions). Only 4.5 hours my work day ends and I can meet my friend for a long lunch outside - cannot wait

Happy hump day wherers!

It was a wet morning down the pier this morning! It's been more than a week since I was down and got some cool snaps.

smurfjed

Thought I would share a blue sky with you.

On the Beach

Starting to feel Christmas in the air the past few days. Think everyone could do with a bit of magic this year.

IamMetaldave

Smurf, here's a blue sky with a twist I got myself a proper camera a couple of weeks ago and the zoom is crazy! I took this last Wednesday morning.

I was hoping you'd be out, sunrise over howth looked lovely this morning.... Not that I was out, I can see from the bedroom window. But not close enough for a picture.


What camera did you get?

Good morning everyone!

No glorious sunrise shots from me unfortunately, deskside and completely exhaustipated...

You were better off at home PC! When I left it was dark and nasty... had I known it was going to be so epic I would have walked down to Bullock Harbour instead, it's cracking spot for sunrise! And moon rise for that matter

I got a Nikon P950. It's awesome, but it's a vertical learning curve :pac:

Niiiiice, I've my eye on a new lens (nikon f5.6).... In a previous life it would have gone straight onto the credit card but I've taken extra time off work to spend with the kids, now I have to save and budget.... First World problems n all that
