The Wherers thread is currently borked so this is a stopgap.

The @ function is a nightmare to use, who have I forgotten?
Tableside having a drink to welcome the weekend. Let's be having ye!
Mod - Edited title slightly. All posters are welcome to post here.
Heading to bed . Deliveries arrived , I cant remember when I last slept .
No need for zzz tablets now .
Elisabeth Fort! Fantastic views over the city 🤩
Beautiful breeze off the sea, so it’s an extremely pleasant morning on my balcony.
The birds are as confused as anyone else these days, singing all hours.
Listening to the birds outside , and I didnt know they were up this early
Me too . It’s just I’m from the country so wakes were more isolated . My new life in a village
You know what? Good on them! When the time comes for me, whenever that may be, I hope that people will remember me in a fun way, not a depressing one!
I needed stuff from the shop so chanced it up , there seemed like a party going in full flow . Laughter , chat etc . It was a wake . A real party town this place .
I've heard of that story alright, sickening! Didn't look into it too deeply though to be honest. My own mental health is fragile enough as it is, don't want to push myself over the edge.
@thomil - great photos of a cracking day down in Cork. I really hope the situation on the jobs front improves for you. 🙏🤞
I'm sure you'd heard of the poor lad who drowned in the Lee whilst onlookers filmed him struggling and drowning with their phones instead of raising the alarm or throwing in a lifering. Despicable - what the f*ck is wrong with people these days? 😓😡
Looking forward to the May bank holiday weekend where I'll be doing as much SFA as possible... 😎☀️☀️
Ugh, my contact at Threshold is out of the office for almost the entirety of May by the looks of it. Typical 🙄
Time to escalate that matter…
Had one bite so far, I may have mentioned it on this thread. Series of five interviews scheduled, only to be cancelled 24 hours after they'd been confirmed. Nothing since then…
And honestly, I'm prioritising my housing situation now, there's no way I can hold a job when I'm out on the street. Others may manage, but I know myself too well…
fingers crossed for you. Any bites on the job front?.
Back home here after another day out in the city. Gotta take advantage of the weather after all!
On the plus side, finally got the paperwork for the Cork city housing list submitted. They're aware of my situation, I hope they can move fast enough. On the down side, I got the physical termination letter to back up the email from earlier in the week. Please keep all available fingers crossed!
Decided to make a bit of a day out out of the whole thing today, who knows how long I'll have the breathing space for that…
after all my bluster I can even switch the washing machine on
Misery, I'm sorry
Right , I give up . I can’t stretch it out any longer . Good night .
I do love the way they wrinkle their noses for getting into tubs
Starbucks Pup cup....
Waiting for my delivery and then straight to bed . I am wrecked and hanging on by my fingernails . Sleep sweet sleep is all I want
I actually got it sorted in the end. Looks like Boards doesn’t like it if I try to insert a link I got using Apple’s built in Share function (as seen highlighted in the screenshot), but using CMD+C and CMD+V works just fine…
Anyway, time for a coffee now. Dishwasher, washing machine and tech issues all before my first coffee, that’s an absolute no-go!
If I quote a post, as I've done here, and the post I'm quoting is further up the page, i.e. not at the end of the posting history, the whole page 'jumps up' and I have to scroll back down again to start typing.
I use Brave browser, set pretty aggressively to block cookies, ads, scripts etc. and I use the Boardsie enhancement suite, I don't know if either of those are relevant. But I'll put up with it to avoid ads and so on. (I use the mobile version of Brave too, for the same reasons)
Also, despite all the talk of YouTube disabling adblockers, I'm still not getting any ads at all there.
Brave, plus extensions such as uBlock Origin and Privacy Badger mean I can use the dodgy streaming websites more easily and safely as well!
Does anyone else have an issue with disappearing edit fields when writing up a reply? I wanted to add a link to the aerial delivery company mentioned in my previous reply when the whole field just disappeared.
Anyway, here’s a link to the company:
https://www.manna.aero
And here’s a news story about them coming to Cork:
https://www.rte.ie/news/business/2025/0331/1505083-manna-drone-delivery-service-to-expand-to-cork/
Thought I might as well give them a shot, given that I’m already registered as a UAV Operator with the IAA in the Open Category (A1/A3)
Yep the drone delivery service . Very Blade Runner-esque .
About what? The drone delivery service? Nope, that’s a real thing!
Another lovely morning, am going to meet an old friend I haven't seen for ages this evening, can't wait!
You’re joking , right Thomil ?
Oh that's miserable 😣
Made burgers last night, mushrooms and melted cheese with crispy onions, absolutely delicious if I do say so myself
After sitting up all night I am making a coffee . I would love to go bed but I’m expecting deliveries . I’m only beginning to feel the effects of my ZZZ tablets now . Time for new tablets
Just home..the weather makes everything so much better..a balmy night here…roll on the weekend.
