Originally posted by Raoul Duke III View PostSitting on a train to\from Drogheda wouldn't be the worst commute ever, assuming you worked near a station in Dublin. Get a seat, read a book, go to sleep....I could handle that.
Whereas driving from, say, Newbridge, would be an absolute killer

Spent over 20 years outside Dublin in Sligo and Galway, and now Dublin even feels way too small. Living in the country again would be hell. Sure it has it's ups, (I mean I love nature and all that, rent is similar to mortgage amount) but it has way more downs imo. Even living somewhere with a commute like Meath would be shit because your neighbours are all country backwards people and there is nothing to do apart from gossip with them about people up the road. Having a family would skew things towards that arrangement. I have a 15 minute commute to work and I feel that takes too much out of my day. Most people out there I know have huge houses and don't spent time in half of it, mostly they just try to out do each other. Some people are quite happy with it at work, they commute in from meath/kildare and have their family in the countryside - you'll never see them doing anything in town though. They are generally very self contained and only do family things.

You're definitely right, it's frightening how much of my life I spend within a few square miles of Dublin.
I'll show you some culchies, farms and some houses going for millions.

There's a lot more friction regarding going out, and there goes spontaneous weekday nights outPeople say I should be more humble I hope they understand, they don't listen when you mumble

I commute in from Kildare, by far the biggest benefit of shift work is avoiding city traffic, there are a few who work with us that come in from Drogheda area, 3 different forms of transport to get to and from work everyday, sounds horrible, I don't know how they do it.

Following our recent trip to Galway and catching a bit of the food festival MrsV has signed us for a weekly organic veggie/fruit box from these guys.
We used to go to a farmers markets pretty regularly but that doesn't happen now and these guys are definitely cheaper. Since we like to eat lots of fruit and veg and the delivery is going to happen on a Saturday morning early when we are pretty much always home I'm hopeful that it's a service that will work out.
Anyway just thought I'd link to it in case anyone here is interested.‘IF YOU had not committed great sins, God would not have sent a punishment like me upon you.” Genghis Khan

I'm looking in the opposite direction of most of you. Working in Galway on €30k which is quite comfortable for a single, mid 20s renting at €350/month. The issue for me is job progression opportunities are quite limited here especially in my industry. Dublin has been on my mind a lot the last year but it would solely be a career move. I think I need to explore options outside of Ireland more...

I do hope that when they come to a solution eventually that it would include this odious measure of having new staff come in on shittier terms than the old staff have.

Long commutes to work generally are fine in the mornings, but it's the getting home is a grim feeling sometimes.
I had a 75 minute commute to work in London before (Clapham to West Ealing) and the mornings were ok because you woke yourself up. Evenings were torture though with it sometimes taking 90 mins+

They had a No Strike bonus.
They went on strike and so lost that bonus.
The pay offer offers them that bonus back.
That is a payrise! Money that they were not going to get (due to their strike) is now being made available again!

Came down with something tue night, shivers, sweat, shivers, aches, sore to eat or drink and all the rest of that crap.
I text my roommate yesterday around lunchtime to ask him to grab some tylenol and food on the way home as I hadn't got out of bed since the morning and there's nothing here. No reply. Sound bud.
He comes home anyway, doesn't even stick the head in to see if I'm alright.
I'm then sleeping yesterday eve and I wake to hear him clanging around the kitchen cooking dinner, genuinely expected him to ask if I wanted some as I always ask him when Im cooking. Nothing.
Am I being precious or is he a cunt? He's Canadian. Genuinely believe that if I lived with Irish people it'd be a whole different story. We're just better.This may or may not be an original thought of my own.
All efforts were made to make this thought original but with the abundance of thoughts in the world the originality of this thought cannot be guaranteed.
