I have noticed that UPC seems to significantly better in Cork than in Dublin. Mine is usually around the 20 mark which isn't awful but considering it's supposed to be at 50. I know UPC is based in Cork, I wonder if that has anything to with it, probably not but it's interesting.

I think it also has to do with the number of users on each trunk. I live in an outer area of cork so we have a lot less people sharing the same bandwidth. Dublin is a lot more compact so they would have to invest more heavily in lines and repeaters and such.

Currently in my back yard:

A stray I found today- spent an hour following him trying to get a lead on him (which involved stopping traffic so they didn't hit him, persuading strangers with dogs to stop and help encourage him over and crawling around through puddles to calm him down), then walked around for another hour and a half seeing did he know his way home and asking people if they rocognised him.

Have him called in the gardai, pictures going up on all the animal pages I know on facebook and will be bringing him to the vet tomorrow to check for a microchip. Can't help but feel he's been dumped though- the park near me always gets dogs dumped in it around this time of year and nether I nor any of the local dog walkers I talked to knew him

Sooooo anyone want a dog?? I am willing to drive him to any part of Ireland if it means a good home!!

Ah_Yeah · 27-01-2013 05:37PM

Come with Ilyana!

It was snowing in the yard today - Here is horsie, unperturbed by the snow all over her face because I HAVE APPLES

Sunday 3 weeks ago I found a stray spaniel cross and managed to find her owner a few hours later. Sunday 2 weeks ago I found that same dog and called her owners again (she was digging under their fence and escaping from their garden). Did eat the head off them for not getting her a tag since she was last out. Don't talk to me about Sundays hehe I'm not going out at the weekends anymore!!! I maintain you only find dogs on Sundays because they know that all the vets are closed so you can't check for chips!

Hopefully someone will claim this woof, offer him a home or a rescue will take him in. I refuse to let him go to wicklow pound and my house is a shoebox. A friends taking him tonight for me.

Mammy says we are not allowed rescue the doggy because he would need so many walks!

thank you for asking though! He's a big woof so he'd need his walkies. I really hope someone will be able to take him, he's so so pretty. I'd keep him if the cat would let me. Cat says no

pampootie · 27-01-2013 06:56PM

The dog i found two weeks ago was rehomed last week, yay. I must get my guy better socialised so I can adopt another this year.

Looking for some advice please loungers.

As you know, we're having a wee party at our house the day after we get married to celebrate with our friends. We would love to do a hog roast. We have found a local company that do it for a good price, which includes a person to serve up the food, and they have great reviews. It just popped into my head that one of my bf's friends is a veggie, as is his wife. They are the only veggies who will be at the party. Do you think it would be fair to have a hog roast at a party with veggies? We will of course be providing some equally delicious veggie food from another local company.

It's your party to celebrate your wedding! You do whatever you want to do.

Lucyfur · 27-01-2013 07:44PM

I'd say it's fine too, Pixie

Ilyana 2.0 · 27-01-2013 07:44PM

Le weather is disgusting here. And I have to get a bus tonight, wah! The boyfriend better provide warms and snuggles when I get there!

Today one of the lads at work asked me how much of a tip I'd expect from a customer who'd ordered two dinners for about 25 euro, and I automatically said 'nothing'. I wish I made more tips

Princess Peach · 27-01-2013 08:00PM

Had Eddie Rockets last night for the first time, food was OK, especially after a few beers, the Oreo Milkshake is scrummy though. Mmmm.

PB it's your wedding so do whatever you want to. Honestly though, I would get a little distressed if there was a whole pig on a spit, like head and all. BUT that would be my problem and I don't have to look at it if I don't want to!

Oreo milkshake is so yummy! I discovered it here

Ilyana 2.0 · 27-01-2013 09:25PM

My housemate works in Eddie Rockets, I keep forgetting to ask her to bring me home a shake. Dangnabbit.

Just saw a lad on the bus having a sly armpit sniff. Lovely.

DairyQueen Mint Oreo Blizzard is heaven, never mind your Oreo milkshakes!
