He could earn significantly more as a doctor working 5 x 1/2 days, yet he spends his time listening to b1thching and moaning and his constituents wanting him to sort out his free travel pass. While spending his weekends going to media commitments, commemorations and various other functions. I get why half of the Dáil do it - because they can't earn any more anywhere else and probably get an orgasm sorting out somebody's medical card, or generally love the power and influence they have which they wouldn't have otherwise in their rural existence working in the local mart or something. But why solicitors, barristers, doctors, etc do it, when all can earn significantly more elsewhere - I don't get it.

How on earth they could have got the site upgrade sooo wrong.
Designed by a committee. The old website was no racehorse, but people were used to it. I think the new boards lacks traffic as people get fed up trying to navigate around it. Perhaps younger folks find it more intuitive, but I seem to spend my time digging around to find the stuff I like, and when I do, nobody has posted in days.
I actually believe that there is a good chance aliens exist but that’s neither here nor there. One of my mates went crazy last night when i pointed out that his evidence about the guaranteed existence of aliens is pentagon videos when he previously said that the pentagon were the biggest liars in the world. The vein on his neck nearly exploded when I mentioned how lucky it was that every bit of ufo video footage was captured on an archaic mobile phone of a soldier with a beef!
the west cork murder is an unsolved mystery ,an innocent woman in a small village.It makes a great story for tv documentarys .
A variation on 'missing white woman' syndrome imo. Utterly tired of what has turned into a media circus and endless speculation from amateur Jessica Fletchers.
Davy Fitz and the love-in he gets. I just dont get it. Hes as false as fake tan and he was starved of publicity last year when his Fittest Family show was canned due to Covid. So what does he do? Hone in on the mental health bandwagon and uses a group of disadvantaged lads to his betterment and makes a show about pretending to care about their growth and maturity. All the while checking the ratings.
When he shed a few crocodile tears on that show as the poor lads share their life story i nearly got sick, nauseatingly insincere.
Why does the State own radio stations?
Ok maybe for public information I suppose but 2FM?
Sell it and let it sink or swim
people who love McDonalds, Burger King etc.. I mean, if your gonna eat fast food - why not go to a good chipper where they make real food, chips, proper beef burgers etc...? I really don't get it..
I agree, but....Faster food in McDonald’s...from ordering to eating can be about 1 to 3 minutes... chipper, ordering a quarter pounder and cheese and chips about an 8-10 minute or so wait, longer ? Plus you need get out of the car.
id habitually get chipper on a Friday on way back from work though unless it pours down where the option drive through is preferable... I’m really gone off McDonalds chips though, put beside decent chipper chips absolutely zero comparison.
They will still likely have more money in a Sinn Fein government. Lots of Sinn Fein hate yet they are the most dominant party in Ireland.
TikTok. Young people love it (I'm in my 20s but I don't get it)
Wtf is the appeal. It's for Dullards.
As so one said earlier, how on earth the people who run this site thought the recent changes were an improvement...
I agree. also he is a really bad role model for the lads he was on that show with. He is forever crying about what other people say about him, people in Clare said so and so about me and my dad. so what, not everyone is going to love you in life, you are a man of 49, why would you care? worrying about what others think of you is what causes mental health problems, stress, depression, anxiety. He should be teaching them lads to not give a $hit about what arseholes say about them.
Fake tan.
Those fake nails that look like cats claws.
Snapchat.
ok - I hear ya - thats ok if your tastebuds are not fussy and if your really under pressure.. but gee.. Mc'D'S chips wer always bad so dread to think what they are like now if they are worse.. in any event, i'd wait another 5-10 mins for better food, rain or not..
there are some fab fast chipper food options too now with food trucks - there is one near where i live and its gourmet.. like, proper home cut chips made with beef dripping and the burgers are made with real beef etc.. home made aioli and other sauces.. I am quiet fussy about my food and wt but I get food from there from time to time.. don't mind the fat as long as the ingredients are good
White women going missing all the time, particularly in white countries.
which reminds me of what I don’t get. The use of “white” in Ireland as if we had the same history as the US.
Elevated driving position
I highly recommend it
Jam , I hate it with a passion, marmalade and honey too
Ruins bread and toast
The Lions Tour. Meaningless tournament that gets far too much air time.
thats one of the reasons I like the Qashqai, Tucson style SUV.... that elevated position when you are driving.... it’s weird and not good weird taking the wheel of a standard low down saloon after having had the benefit of a really advantageous view to going back down ..
Cheating on someone. If you even think you're going to cheat just end your relationship.
The GAA, i can't feel any emotional connection for a game which can't be played on an international level. Its so counterintuitive the amount of emphasis we put on it
It's a US term, and I said 'variation of' but still valid as a way of saying middle or upper middle class but you knew that of course.
Pretty and from a reasonably wealthy family with the means to mount legal battles, if she was lower class she would have been forgotten long ago.
Wow!
I have never understood the purpose of that thing, and never cared enough to look it up.
While I get where you are coming from there is something brilliant about being squat to the road on a sharp cornering low car,
