Hi all,
Moving from Dublin to London in a few weeks, just wondering what is the best way to get around with a card? Do you need an oyster card, is their a monthly pass?
I am living in Islington, 25 min commute via a bus - playing sport and stuff so obviously will need to travel via underground etc.
Any tips?
Anyone know roughly how long an FAI COMET transfer takes to be approved?
Moving from one league to another. Old club have terminated my registration, New submitted everything today, and I uploaded my passport on COMET. Status currently says Submitted.
Just wondering from people who’ve done it before - once it says Submitted, how long did it take before FAI/league approved it and you were eligible to play?
Game this weekend and I want to be eligible.
Also just a note great how handy the new Comet self registration is.
When I was with my ex, my hair wasn’t perfect but it was better than what it is now. I am always comparing myself to who she could be with and their hair. I feel like when you are balding you are automatically just an uglier version of yourself - no matter what else you do in your self care routine (gym, teeth, skin etc).
How do I feel better about my looks and stop comparing myself to other people with nicer heads of hair?
I miss a situationship that I know deep down wasn’t nice to me, but 2 years on from when we last even spoke I still think about her every day and miss her.
How do you break the cycle - totally out of sight out of mind in terms of social media - but I still miss all the good times so much and always wondering if she’s moved on/what she’s doing etc.
I don’t know what’s wrong with me tbh and wish I didn’t feel like this. But I miss the s*x, the laughing, the dates, her smile - all the good stuff.
Maybe it’s because I haven’t found my person yet or since, but nothing I’ve had since her hits the same. How do I get over this?
Moving over from Ireland shortly, just wondering is the dating scene/good bad in London for someone who's 25?
Any tips? Not on dating apps here but will go on them in LDN.
Hi,
Moving to Islington next month, wondering is the any good gyms with a sauna that are affordable?
Probs £50 a month budget but ideally lower.
Living near Holloway Road (I think geography not great as of yet)
Moving to London soon and doing a flat share for the first time in a while, what are the main things I should prioritise when viewing places?
So far I’ve got:
Double bed
Desk to WFH
Flatmates around similar age? (does this actually matter?)
Living room/common space
Good location
Commute to work
Pubs/Gym/Shops nearby
What are the biggest things people forget to check before moving in?
Hi all,
Got a dream job and moving to London mid July. I am working around 5 mins walk from Kings Cross, budget is around £800PM MAX. I am happy to flat share. 25YO Male.
A) Is spare room the best way to go?
B) given the location, where should I be living? Islington has came to mind?
C) Do I have to get an AirBnB for first month and then view in person? How should I go about this? Very stressed and don’t know what to do!
All advice really appreciated
I’m sure we have all seen the alleged video of Eoin Murphy, sly punching U17 Irish International Brody Lee, and spitting in the face of Cork U20 GK.
In Wales, a similar incident went viral at a similar level and the guy got a 18 month suspended sentence for assault.
I seen this guy play recently and he is a bloody psycho. Verbally abusing his own manager (they did nothing), and this video doesn’t surprise me.
This discourse around him is that he does this sort of stuff a lot. A real cowards act, a shame cause he has terrific ability and has represented Ireland at amateur level.
What is Rockmount’s next move - will they put out a statement - is this the end for Chalkey?
Am I being too harsh?
Had a final stage interview + task for a role recently and trying not to overthink the timeline now.
Applied a few weeks ago, had an initial recruiter call, then 2 interviews, and a final round interview in person (I had to fly to a different country for it) and submitted a written task after. At the end of the process they said I’d hear back “early next week.” I finished the interview on Thursday of last week.
One thing the recruiter asked me was whether I had any other offers currently, the company had put in this ask on Thursday afternoon. I answered honestly and said I didn’t, but that I was really keen on this role and wanted to see how it played out before pursuing anything else.
It’s Monday now and I haven’t heard anything yet, which I know is probably normal, but curious how people would read this overall? Especially the “do you have other offers” question, is that usually a positive sign or pretty standard? WHAT DO I DO? I AM SO IMPATIENT.
Hi all,
I’m moving from Dublin to London soon to start a new job, with the office based in Islington. I’ll be flat sharing and don’t know too many people in the city yet, so just looking for any advice from people who’ve made a similar move or live around the area.
A few things I’d really appreciate tips on:
Open to any other general advice as well, things you wish you knew before moving, mistakes to avoid, etc.
Cheers!
