      I think you could easily charge the people a dollar and a half to see 'em.
      A friend of my brothers was starting a few hives a few years ago, up in the grounds of the mental hospital afair, im sure its a small enough world, B.E. ?
      This too shall pass.

        We all had hives as kids . A right of passage in our clan. Da mudder reckoned it was from eggs but that made no sense to me . Cleared up quickly enough . Perhaps the lawn grotto helped with that

          You mentioned it before. I've just googled the project and I don't know him but we have mutual aquaintances alright. We may even have crossed paths. I'm not very involved in the associations for the last couple of years.

            Lovely little slice of history. Mad how modern Limerick looks for 1935.

            Sound on.

                Were your beekeeping ideas too radical for them?

                  Haven't read it but a friend recommended it me a while back. Must give it a spin.

                      Some incredible changes for the worse over the course of the century in terms of the amazing buildings they demolished and the absolutely appalling stuff they replaced them with. Still happening in the city centre despite it being 'protected'.

                      Sadly they never seem to have changed the road layout back from the circuit designed for that vid and you still have a city centre racetrack of all huge wide streets with three lanes in the same direction. It's fucking deadly.

                        Surreal to throw an eye on dublin rental markets and see the most basic 1 beds still averaging about 1500. Is the demand still that high or are owners a bit stubborn to new reality or somewhere in the middle?

                        Gonna be a frightening juxtaposition between the unaffected masses in tech industry on nosebleed salaries and masses unemployed, prob start to see South African esque social issues creeping in quickly

                          presume you're planning your exit so?

                            Have had my pokerstars account restricted and a pop up message of contacting customer support to sort it when I attempt to login

                            I can’t get In to the live chat feature as can’t login and have tried email and twitter to get help and have had zero luck,any ideas or do I just wait it out?? I have money in my stars account also which is just adding to the frustration
                            Yeah same thing happened to me. Took them 2 weeks to reply to my email but once they did my account was closed and money refunded in 48 hours. Only thing is you'll get raped on their exchange rates.

                            Best thing to do is just wait it out. They will 100% refund you, they're just the nut worst cunts to deal with

                                  Just had a look in the golf section on Boards. Jesus christ it is in meltdown. The entitlement and bitterness of some people is incredible in there. Doing nothing for the stereotype that golf is bound too.

                                  GUI statement coming tomorrow. Should be interesting.

                                          There's three national organisations now. There was one when I started 10 years ago. The drama and politics are cringe-worthy and very frustrating.

                                              There was a bunch of auld lads smacking golf balls on the playing fields in St Annes yesterday evening. While people were playing\walking through said fields.

                                              I was about to politely tell them to fuck off but was beaten to it by a very large East European guy with his top off. I'm sure it would have been a close call in terms of the intimidation factor but they beat a hasty retreat in any case.

                                                    For all the apparent Sportsmanship, Golf really is a sport for selfish bastards . There is no death horrible enough for a slow 4 baller that wont let you play through or some feckers who repeatedly wait for the green to clear when 250 yards back or equivalent distance for a 10 yard duffer . With that in mind I like your 'shouldn't these fuckers be cocooning ' stance. Then we go after the underlying condition bastards

                                                    I'm too nice though. I'll eat a handful of rape seed to get the gander up before teeing off. (Thanks for the tip Brian)

                                                        We just had a meeting this morning with the top guy in our site for the company I work for. He said based on what he's hearing from the highest levels the feeling is that there is no prospect of work going back to how it was, regardless of treatments or vaccines coming along for COVID. He said the days of working five days a week in the office are seen as being over, business travel is never likely to return to anything approaching previous levels etc.

                                                        I got the impression the basis for this feeling is more based on what they have observed in terms of efficiency, productivity, costs etc over the last couple of months than really anything to do with the virus.

                                                        The upshot of this was that when asked what opportunities he saw arising from this sentiment he said that without wanting to speculate too much he considers it essentially a given that any of us will basically be able to relocate to anywhere in Ireland we wish without any pushback. It's not much of a stretch to think that would extend to anywhere in the same timezone. If you removed the geographical magnetism from the physical office you basically live anywhere as long as everyone agrees on what hours they are going to be available online.

                                                        It opens up a huge range of lifestyle options to me that were never all that realistic before, and could be amazing once the restrictions are in the rear-view mirror. I imagine if my crowd are saying this, as a fairly conservative example of the tech industry, the more forward thinking companies must as well. If that proves to be the case it will be very interesting to see the effects the freedom for large numbers of fairly wealthy people to live anywhere will have on different parts of the country.

He said the days of working five days a week in the office are seen as being over, business travel is never likely to return to anything approaching previous levels etc.

                                                            I got the impression the basis for this feeling is more based on what they have observed in terms of efficiency, productivity, costs etc over the last couple of months than really anything to do with the virus.

                                                            The upshot of this was that when asked what opportunities he saw arising from this sentiment he said that without wanting to speculate too much he considers it essentially a given that any of us will basically be able to relocate to anywhere in Ireland we wish without any pushback. It's not much of a stretch to think that would extend to anywhere in the same timezone. If you removed the geographical magnetism from the physical office you basically live anywhere as long as everyone agrees on what hours they are going to be available online.

                                                            It opens up a huge range of lifestyle options to me that were never all that realistic before, and could be amazing once the restrictions are in the rear-view mirror. I imagine if my crowd are saying this, as a fairly conservative example of the tech industry, the more forward thinking companies must as well. If that proves to be the case it will be very interesting to see the effects the freedom for large numbers of fairly wealthy people to live anywhere will have on different parts of the country.

The amount of money spent on conferences, including travel and accommodation, was embarrassing. Conference wankers tended to be work shy, incompetent blow holes.

                                                              Absolutely but when the many who were scraping by before fall under the poverty line now, former things like frustration or even bitterness and begrudgery will now take on a more visable and problematic edge imo.

                                                                I feel like the only thing that will make a decent % people not go to the office is if there is no office. So many people with kids longing for the office.

                                                                Making the decision to be officeless is a big decision.

                                                                Also the effect on company culture which despite the increasing eye rolling given the HR types focus on it is pretty important.

                                                                I wonder what the long term effects of officeless/ non face time work over a large data set would be? Is 3 months long term?

                                                                I can work from anywhere and have no kids so I’m loving this but what % if the workforce fit my profile?

                                                                I don’t know if we will ever be officeless, there is something to be said for having a communal space for a workforce. I think. Maybe not.

                                                                Interesting times in any case.
                                                                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.
                                                                The author is not liable for any issue arising from the platitudinous nature of this post.

As it started to progress I found that I was getting into it and starting to quite like it. I've gone from thinking about WFH one day a week to thinking about going to the office one day a week - now I'm at the point where I'm thinking of everything I could do if I only needed to turn up to the office once a month. Heading to west Clare or Connemara for six weeks in the summer, spending weeks at a time at home in Kerry or where my fiancé is from in Tipp. Even spending weeks at a time in cities abroad (or even at home) when the mood takes you. Just seems like huge potential for deciding what lifestyle you want and pursuing it.

                                                                            All on the assumption I don't end up embarrassed about that post where I said how stupid I thought the idea of society collapsing was. Although if I have cause to be embarrassed I'll probably have other things to worry about.

Probably 2 days on-site for me, then next 2 days for my colleague. Boss on-site alongside me and colleague 1 day each. However in manufacturing a large number of the workforce still have to be physically on-site to run production and logistics. Keeping these people socially distant and safe is key for us. We're still producing for healthcare sector as normal but automotive/industrial production is shut down until UK and mainland Europe factories open back up. We recently started making faceshields which has brought a few people back to work.

                                                                                          Before all this started I would have thought I couldn't stand the idea of working from home as much as a day a week. As it started to progress I found that I was getting into it and starting to quite like it. I've gone from thinking about WFH one day a week to thinking about going to the office one day a week - now I'm at the point where I'm thinking of everything I could do if I only needed to turn up to the office once a month. Heading to west Clare or Connemara for six weeks in the summer, spending weeks at a time at home in Kerry or where my fiancé is from in Tipp. Even spending weeks at a time in cities abroad (or even at home) when the mood takes you. Just seems like huge potential for deciding what lifestyle you want and pursuing it.

                                                                                          All on the assumption I don't end up embarrassed about that post where I said how stupid I thought the idea of society collapsing was. Although if I have cause to be embarrassed I'll probably have other things to worry about.
                                                                                          I've always wanted to try it and honestly find it easy to get work done as I have no kids and it's just so much less stressful being at home, not commuting etc, jsut more relaxing with my music blaring, cooking when I want etc.
                                                                                          I usually am out every evening doing hobbies so it's not like I'd miss people.

                                                                                          Another friend of mine is often just travelling since she can work at home. One week she will be in NYC, another in Thailand doing a Muay Thai course and just working whenever. Have no idea what her job is, just realised haha.

Where I live is going to be over run with irritants from Dublin if this comes to pass and they’ll destroy everything that makes this place worth living in, it will ruin swathes of the West coast

                                                                                                Im 25k away from my club so no go for me for a while.

                                                                                                That guy Greebo is the GOAT troll. He's up there with PSV for me.
                                                                                                Yeah. I only pop in a few times a year but he's always in there winding people right up. No idea how he has not been fucked out.

                                                                                                He used to be a mod i think.

WFH permanently has been put forward for those that want it. Easy for us, no kids and like to do our own thing anyway. Her colleagues with kids cant wait for the office to reopen.

It is pretty near impossible for us to get what we need to get done during 'normal working hours' but wont see any changes until childcare up and running properly again.
