Just look for RFID wallets and card holders you can also get Individual card covers.

Amazon is your best bet.

It's becoming more prominent as of late in Limerick, I don't want to go around with tinfoil on my card like a lunatic either.

I know that skimming in ATMs do happen and it happened to someone I know and they use credit cards for almost every purchase they have since it's so much easier to contest any false charges

There might be a thin line between sensible and a lunatic, but better to be a slightly more wealthy lunatic I suppose

Fulham sacked Ranieri today, seems like a bad call by the Khans to me, but hey what do I know. Scott Parker left in change until the end of the season. Obviously it will have to play out before any judgement can be made.
At a guess, I'd say there was something in the contract to allow this to happen.
Could potentially be building for next year in the championship already, it's a tricky one.
Khan does things his way, that's for sure.

Sometimes in life it's hard too look on the bright side when ur almost at an end to ur troubles but its will continue. Had a date which I thought was going well but to the dreaded text after. Head is in a trance and need a few drinks too get it level again. Sick of online dating and its real life consequences, thought that might be my way of getting too the next level but no

diusmr8a504cvk · 28-02-2019 10:05pm

PTH, the real failure is not trying at all. When you can, get yourself together and get back on that horse.

nazmoalex · 28-02-2019 10:57pm

Yeah don't be harsh on yourself. Online dating didn't work out for me either, and personally speaking, drinking/smoking only increased my insecurities and anxiety. Took me a while to realise that.
The best advice anyone ever gave me was you need to learn to love yourself before you can properly get out there dating so to speak.
Keep the faith bud.

Dude I met my wife whilst working in a motel in the outback in Western Australia. Worked there for six months and she was a 'local' working there too (her hometown was 200km away, but closest town).

Married now for six years with two kids and back in Ireland.

It happens in the weirdest places and times, one thing I have to say is just don't stop looking.

What's meant for you won't pass you by - I only took that job as I had no money and was completely desperate and it changed my life; 500 small things at any stage could have happened that meant we never met but we did and it's been - still is - amazing.

Annnnnnnddd..... that's enough sentimentality for me tonight. Someone give me a beer and a cigar so I can look all tough and broody again :pac:

PTH, its certainly rough out there, but I would mirror Necro's comments here. I met my wife, when she literally fell at my feet one night coming home from a nightclub. I was asleep down the back of a bus, and she was up towards the middle. Some guy was trying to grope her, and the only way she could get away from him was to throw herself back. And she literally landed on my feet.

We got to talking, and something clicked. So you see, as necro says, whats for you won't pass you by. I didn't actively go out looking to hook up with anyone that night, and ended up with a wife, 3 kids, house, 2 cars some 9 years later.

sky88 · 01-03-2019 11:03am

Honestly dont let it get you down. Ive a few dates recently that i thought went well and then nothing happened and i was dissapointed but look whats meant to be will happen. I'm an awkward weird kinda guy but at this stage if people dont like me im just like F**k it

If I ever needed a reason to visit Limerick, the opportunity has presented itself this morning.

Watching Madrid and Barca game on Bein Sports, they were advertising MLW on later and the Geordie commentator(sounds like Sid Waddel's brother from another mother!) gives Rusev a shout out. Other guy says imagine Courtois coming off the top rope... Refreshing to hear them put the wrestling show over so well.

Edit.. actually got to record the bit, I'll post it in a couple of days to be on the safe side

Was gutted with the news. Never got to see them live and was hoping they'd come back to Ireland this summer or next year.

Luke Perry passed away this evening as well after having a massive stroke a few days ago.

He will always be remember for 90210 however Jeremiah is the show I'll remember him best for.

gerrybbadd · 04-03-2019 7:52pm

Bad day for the 90's pop culture.

Keith Flint, man that one hit hard.

Remember first listening to The Prodigy in my cousin's house when i was about 8 or 9. Terrified of the music. But strangely drawn to it. Keith also used to terrify me, such a scary looking dude.

By all accounts, he was an absolute gent though.

They had so many classic songs down through the years. I'll never forget when Fat of the Land came out, and the impact it made. I think Firestarter was out about a year before the album even was released.

And of course, nearly every house in the land had a copy of Music for the Jilted Generation.

Great vid here showing how Voodoo People came together (or perhaps was recreated)

I couldn't give a bollocks if it was United or Partick Thistle, but a load of lads jumping around the place because a team in Manchester beat a team in Paris is embarrassing. Lads not even from there talking about 'we' this and 'we' that, if you airdropped them into Manchester they wouldn't find their way to Old Trafford.

Life's miserable enough, follow and support whoever you want who gives a crap, same as wrestling if it's good enough for you to care about and doesn't hurt others then who cares who what where or why

This is an attitude I understand but hate nonetheless. I'm a season ticket holder with my local LOI team. I also support Manchester United & have done for as long as I can remember football. My reaction watching that on TV was no different than my reaction to any dramatic victory 20 mins from my house.

I wish everyone in Ireland supported an Irish team but that doesn't mean I'll begrudge them supporting a team they've likely grown up watching too.

I much much preferred the 2nd movie to the 1st, not sure if thats a controversial opinion

I could be blinded because I heard how good the movie was for years and watched it in the middle of finally watching all the mcu movies last summer, I didn't feel the hype matched the output for that movie, but the 2nd one got me in trouble with housemates for laughing so much

Having a bit of a car dilemma with my radio and wondering if anyone here has any knowledge.
Here's my post from some other forum.

Uriah Beautiful Self-denial wrote: »

Hi lads, driving a Peugeot 107 and the button to switch over to CD/Aux seems to have stopped working. I'll attach a photo of the radio so it makes a bit more sense.

Basically the button is unresponsive. Nothing to do with the aux cord (and I assume the same for the CD player that's never used) as even when the radio is off and I press the cd/aux button on the top left of the photo it'll turn on to that mode in particular.

Blown fuse?

Ah lads, i'm half killed.

Herself at home started on a diet about 8 weeks ago, and roped me into it. I lost about a stone on it, but the weight loss has plateaued now.

So, i started going to a gym there Tuesday evening. Haven't been in the door of a gym since i was 18 (about half a lifetime ago). Was at the aul squattin' last night, and i'm in bits.

Fair play to you Gerry, if you weren’t feeling the effects you wouldn’t be doing it right. The important thing is keeping it up. Go regularly and when you feel it less increase your workload and feel good about yourself.

Go irregularly (like myself) and You may be wasting your time going at all as you’ll feel like your killing yourself each time

Great too here gerry

I'm doing my weights at home 3/4 a week and 150 push ups and feel/look great. Can be quite sore and annoying some days but its works. Need too add more cardio and thinking walking would be my down my alley

My diet is still terrible but I've cut down a lot on junk food

I take my vitamins and say my prayers

I've been piss poor with my food since Xmas. Fell a bit off the wagon in terms of keeping calories down. Have lost a bit of weight but....like, I've got a big slice of chocolate cake here in front of me, had Pizza last night and a Chinese due tomorrow.

Come Monday, I'm just going to go nuts properly again. I got a little muscly this time last year and loved how I felt and looked. Its hard work but the payoff is so confidence-boosting.
