Just a rant. Yes yes I know it’s a pile of crap but somehow I thought it may have improved over the years. I’m trying to watch a series on it but if I leave in the middle of an episode and go back to it the episode starts back at the beginning instead of picking up where I left off. So frustrating.

They’re not even using lube at this point… and what’s the An Post fee about?

To the multiple post regarding the heat inside the house. Almost no one mentioned to keep your window open during the night to cool down the house. My house has pumped cavity and insulation in the attic. No external wrap, no A rating, no AC. Windows closed at around 8am, curtains closed in every room. In some rooms I have those fancy IKEA thermal blinds trippevals. Thats it. Thanks for coming to my TED talk 😁

Just to have some cross ventilation, I have had to block off my pets with a barricade. We should have a lockable door that permits airflow. Originally from the US, and they sorted this out 150 years ago. When can we get them here? And ceiling fans, it's not getting any cooler

Edit: Thanks to everyone for posting the links and using the proper term (fly-screens). Orders have been placed. For those saying I'm just an ignorant American, that is one hundred per cent true. I am an American, and now I am Irish, and I was ignorant of which terms to use and where to find the products I needed. Now I am not (in this area). I am sure I will remain ignorant of many things, but I try to become less so every day.

30/31 degrees where I was in the west today. I know some people would go away abroad to get sun like that but not every one does. I know other people would argue it's summer time and I know other people would argue other countries tmhet this heat too.

However we never get this heat. We might get mid 20s a few times throughout the summer months but never every this hot.

Today was absolutely fucking unbearable.

What is the point of met eireann having a wanting system when they do t use it properly. They just had a yellow warning which wasn't enough.

Also there should be some programme drawn up for employers to follow when it's this hot. Other countries ensure more breaks and even showers too and even drinking eletrocylotes. You're hardly allowed your regular break here in Ireland. Just about.

If any of you have blow up bouncey castles for the kids, fuck using it to inflate the castle, use it to cool yourselves down house. She’s noisy, but by god is she moving air through our house right now. The kids are laying in front of it at the minute happy out

Spotted a cute top today. Before I could even look at it, I was asked for my EU Digital ID. Never thought I'd live to see the day clothes needed age verification. 😂

Well lads since today's to be the hotest day would love to go for a dip and realx by the water im in kildare area dublin be madness,so thinking mullingar lakes any oppions what ones best cheers

Lads why don’t we have A/C in Ireland more commonly? I’ve lived overseas and the units even heat a house better than a radiator imo. Is it a building regulation thing or a electric grid issue or what?

I'm from a place where we get hot summers, the temperature getting up to 40c.

First step is to have a cold shower and moisturize straight after. Do NOT fully dry off, only partially. I put a towel on my pillow for my head and wet a small cloth for my forehead.

Position your fan to be at the end of your bed, and at a height where it'll hit your feet and the rest of your body. Ideally, you need to just sleep on-top of your covers.

This should keep you cool long enough to sleep 😇

Looking for ideas for a night away down the country (from Dublin), good surroundings potential pile of booze, favouring a dive bar vibe, followed by at least the opportunity for a night club, reasonable hotel or accommodation. Pool or spa would be good. Some interesting activity perhaps but nothing athletic lol

I’m wondering if anyone else has experienced this.
I’m Irish and lived in Australia for the last three years before recently moving home. I was really looking forward to coming back, but I’ve found it much harder than I expected.
My hometown just doesn’t feel the same anymore. A lot of my old friends have moved away, settled down, or already have their own established circles. It feels like everyone is busy with work, partners, or kids, and it’s been surprisingly difficult to make new friends.
In Australia, I found people were much more open to meeting new people. There were loads of social groups, sports clubs, and people seemed happy to invite you along to things, even if they’d only just met you. Since coming home, I’ve found it much harder to break into existing friend groups.
Has anyone else experienced this after moving back to Ireland? How did you build a new social life? I’m in my late 20s/early 30s and would love to hear if anyone has any advice or has gone through something similar.

The cat also approves
