To my therapist about the lockdown a few weeks ago. Don't think she got many words in but it felt pretty good.

Where would you fall on the introvert - extrovert scale?

Ive worked largely nights over the past few years, without social media i might not have even or forgotten about the global pandemic..

Whats are your top 3 go to activities to keep you sane at the moment??

auspicious · 03-03-2021 4:47pm

I'm not being pushed to insanity by anything thankfully so I don't have any crutches. But lately I have taken a liking to watching Nuke's top 5 on YT which is pretty fringe stuff. We can only measure our sanity against those we view as less sane...

Many are calling the outrage by the general public over the Elliott photo as faux outrage. I think they are right to a degree but I see it more as push back against the lifting of a corner of the security blanket which is the cognitive dissonance around how animals are seen and treated in wider society. It reveals that things are not actually all hunky dory and ignorance is bliss. Would you agree?

Is there someone you would like to succeed MDH as president of Ireland?

03-03-2021 8:39pm

Michael O'Leary,
MOL.

A foreign multinational you would buy shares in if you had any spare shekels but must be something like an airline or manufacturer.

auspicious · 03-03-2021 10:06pm

That's almost as awkward as my question. I won't skip it though.
Manufacturer... of logistics programs to control automated robotics processes e.g. warehouse, or airport baggage systems. Cognex.

Where's the strangest place abroad that you unexpectedly experienced a slice of home?

magic_murph · 04-03-2021 10:26am

Galway - they had brennan's bread. Well I was just blown away.

Would you like to live in a boat?

Yes, in a freshwater environment or the big lake in the north of Ireland. Charlie Haughey liked it too.

Do you actually use any advertised service like Grammarly, or other products advertised in YouTUbe videos?

Trigger Happy · 04-03-2021 12:58pm

I almost try to avoid any product that is advertised on youtube. I know that they need to make money and all but it's so annoying that the adverts pop up in the middle of the 4 minute video you are trying to watch.

When did you last kick a football?

Do you know that there is an add-on for the firefox desktop ( i.e. lappy ) browser that blocks out pesky ads from youtube ?

Do you reckon you will get to leave the island of ireland this year?

IrishLad90 · 04-03-2021 4:18pm

What’s the worst journey you’ve had to make in Ireland.

Trigger Happy · 04-03-2021 4:30pm

Got an early bird train to Dublin one monday morning after been out partying all night. Toilets were broken on the train. It was not pleasant.

Have you ever stayed in a traditional B&B?

Plain with a little salt

Why are crisps so expensive in this country ?

( e.g. https://www.productosmercado.com/2019/01/patatas-fritas-onduladas-hacendado-mercadona.html - IIRC under 60c for a bag 180gm and they are gluten free - so I get to eat some

)

IrishLad90 · 04-03-2021 8:06pm

To stop people like myself eating themselves into an early grave.. I can be a bit of a fiend for a decent pack

Do you think the City Centre has calmed itself much with less traffic due to restrictions (tourists, clubbers, pubbers)

barbara anne · 04-03-2021 8:38pm

What is one positive thing you realised about yourself during the pandemic?

Purple Mountain · 05-03-2021 12:21am

Would it be easier if someone posted you a scissors and mirror.

What’s the hardest part of your body to reach?

Purple Mountain · 05-03-2021 12:25am

Has this thread run it’s course?

Purple Mountain · 10-03-2021 12:47am

Ah no. What's better than asking random people random questions?
