A Brave New World of returning to the office 4 days a week starts today.
Timing may not be ideal.
We offered everyone an option of more or less whatever you want yourself, only one based in Ireland (wesht) went for fully remote, vast majority chose two days in office, no one picked a Monday or Friday except me
Was due to start today but we have postponed until January.

Right now, we're in a half capacity mode (i.e. everyone is supposed to come in 2 days p/w) but no-one is actually enforcing it so it's probably more like 15/20% on any one day.
London and NYC offices seem much busier.

Two days in, three days home for us - but it had to be agreed days for the entire team to be in at the same time.
I made a solid pitch for Wednesday & Friday as the office days, but Monday & Wednesday was a runaway winner.
I suppose the advantage of Monday is that public holidays mean we are off for about 8 of them anyway in any year.
Postponed for a few weeks, maybe til January.
thought Kin was pretty decent overall, good introductory season to allow for a few more.

They killed off by far the best character
SPOILER
Hinds carried the whole thing
last episode wholesale rip off of the godfather finale was not earned
not as bad as some making out but fairly average- I only kept with it as it was Irish and the fella who carried it

Enjoying this T20 World Cup.
Great to have a competition where scores are around the 140/150 mark after a fair contest between bat and bowler, rather than those silly slogfests where 200+ is 'par'.
Watched Rosemary’s Baby for halloween - good stuff think it got a mention here a few weeks back
A mothers love eh. Tis no wonder every scumbag in the courthouse have a 'not my Timmy' mudder protesting their Innocence.
oh Lucifer you might be an actual infant Satan but you are MY actual infant Satan.
Whereas the Dads are like Fr Stones dad. Lucifer ya little bastard look what you did to your poor mudder. Although in this instance his ol lads the devil so he might not bother with the lecture .
I'm not saying i didnt enjoy it but the writing doesnt hold up to any kind of logical scrutiny

Sat & Sun of the bank holiday weekend, we headed to north Clare for Mrs Lao Lao's best friends 40th. A dozen of us in a huge rented house. The birthday girls boyfriend owns a food business so brought half of his stock with him. We ate and drank like kings for the two days.
From there, it was on to Cavan for a two day wedding in Virginia Park Lodge, where we yet again ate and drank like kings for two days.
Back in Dublin for a brief spell before heading south to Monart for a few days. I only got out of my robe for dinner on both days, full on Rancho Relaxo for the entire time.
On the 1st evening, we ate in the bar which is decent grub and a wine list which isn't too adventurous but is priced very well (most expensive bottle is €40 and everything seemed to be around double off sales price which is fair enough). Second day we ate in the main restaurant which had a slight old school/country feel to it (We were given a sorbet in between starter and mains and each main came with a side bowl of mash and veg). On the flip side, both starters (pumpkin ravioli and pork belly) and both mains (sea bass and fillet of beef) were extremely well cooked plus 2014 Meerlust was on the restaurant wine list for 70 quid a bottle - Keep it old school and country I reckon!! The restaurant wine list was very good. All the bar wines were on it (at the same price) and it went right up to 1989 Mouton Rothschild for a mere 1500 quid a bottle so something for everyone's budget.
Back in Dublin now and have just made out the weekly food shopping list. Feels a very long time since I had to plan what to eat rather than just having it served up to me!
Watch out next time ye are coming out of shanahans lads- mullalley calling for a revolution because a shite old pub and bookstore have closed and a bunch of crusties got kicked out of a squat- no one is safe
Una Mullally: How long will it be until something kicks off as anger grows on Dublin’s streets?

Wow, people actually chose Monday to be in the office. Surely the nut worst day to be there. The bank holiday thing isn't enough to give it any advantage IMO

We've got to go in 2 days a week, which we can choose on a weekly basis, as long as no more than 4 of us are in at any time (team of 8), and monday is my preferred day and quite a popular day, although busiest days in the office are Tuesday and Thursday
I'm guessing some skinny armed ragged Dublin Junkie bent you over Portobello Bridge one night and made you squeal. Just a guess
I was involved in a small tip in a car about 20 years ago that was a quite complicated scenario to assign fault and settle after all the Dubs involved in a 5MPH tip were claiming they had whiplash and all the usual bollocks.
To cut a long story short it one of the parties was a batshit cray cray woman who had been driving a very expensive BMW and spoke in a very polished accent. The case was being heard by Justice Pat McCartan who quickly figured out that her story of what had happened was an absolute fairytale that didn't stand up to the slightest scrutiny, after my barrister had her contradict herself a couple of times she started to get flustered and angry, Pat very judiciously stopped the barrister tried to help her find a way to dig out of the hole she was digging for herself. Instead of taking the help she got even more angry as her face went puce the posh tones evaporated and she roared straight at Pat in the broadest Dublin scanger accent "I'm telling Youse what I seen".
The barrister was struggling hard not to laugh couldn't make eye contact with Pat who was in shock, I pinched myself till I drew blood to keep from roaring laughing.

SP proving hes down and hip . Cray Cray ? My niece puts that in her texts. Mainly talking about her mudder.
I'm from Drimnagh originally and the amount of different accents when I was growing up was cray cray . Obviously before the Polish invasion . We had Offaly neighbours who said Shag off a LOT shag this , shagging shag . Cracked me up. . I'd say a lot of culchies settled in the D12 area back then.
I'd say buddy is the word most frequently used in Dublin Creches (after mudderojaysus) . I hate it when they call kids buddy . It's like they are covering something up. Like when a norfsider says hello buddy , nidge style . I dont trust anyone who says buddy .

I think Laz called my son Buddy . GFYL
Buddy >>>>> 'mate'.

I have noticed a lot of people using the word "yous" lately and now see businesses using it. Is it actually a real word?
E.G. - Our new product X....We hope yous like it
I found out today that guys is no longer considered to be sexist anymore as an email opener. Will be glad to see the back hi folks which which makes you sound like a knob or hi all which sounds like bad news.

Saying hi goys however is still banned I presume.
Might not be sexist but I’d check to make sure it’s not transphobic
pretty distressing post considering it was international pronouns day only 2 weeks ago

Could well be but all I know is this is why I read but never post on Twitter.
Reading The Hunger Games as the nighttime read at the moment and its surprisingly not awful. Very readable. I do realise the target audience of readers is a teen girl, but maybe the same could be said about Harry Potter being aimed at kids.

I wouldn't be so sure that hi guys is actually fine again. It might just be a trap to catch the more gullible male emailers. 'Hi everyone' is where I've gone in life. A bit silly, but there we go.
It was actually a topic on the first episode of Survivor this season. Jeff asking people what they think about the phrase 'come on in guys' and one person objecting to it.

Just trying to think of decent Irish tv programmes. Did we ever attempt a detective style show, like the UK is obsessed with?
There’s lots of great material out there but It’s too small a country e with too many off topic subjects that might offend people in power. RTÉ never gonna put balls on the line-except for worthy browbeating shite .
maybe I’m wrong and the Irish version of clay David shows up in kin next year.
on a related noted the fucking neck on Mary robinson

is it not very racist from the last ep that people are hyped about having an alliance based on race? Just thought that would be highly dodgy if a paler race did the same!!!!

Haha, I was reading that thinking to myself 'I say buddy a lot' before I got to the last line
I hold silver in tit for tat, and I love you for that
I'm a "Hi guys" guy too, but I did do some online investigating of it a while back after wondering about its appropriateness for a couple of months. Thankfully I have no woke person I know that I can ask. My conclusion was that it's grand.
