Does anyone else live around here. There is a chirping sound like as if someone needs to replace their smoke alarm battery going on years, it's driving me bananas, its every few seconds. I can't pinpoint which apartment it comes from but my god whoever lives in it must be demented by now or have genuinely just stopped hearing it..
Can anyone recommend somewhere dog friendly for Halloween?
My partner and I both have a dog each, we both live in areas that from September to November are constantly bangers and fireworks which is a nightmare my dog is terrified and hers just barks non stop, Halloween night is hell and we really need to take them somewhere quieter this year. We don't have anyone with holiday homes outside Dublin. Is there anywhere someone can recommend that isn't extremely expensive that is dog friendly accomodation?
Thank you
Identification Help?
Hi,
I found these in a bag when clearing out old stuff from my house.
Can anyone identify what they are? Should I just put into a charity shop or sell on?
Thank you
Longshot - Reward Offered
Hi,
I know it's a long shot but a friend lost a pair of sunglasses at ATN and are of sentimental value & is offering a reward for them.
Thought I'd post here just incase.
They're limited edition Dita. (Similar Attached)
P.S Don't bring expensive/sentimental things to festivals 😎
Garden paving Question.
Hi,
Just wondering about garden paving, a lot of people in my estate have gotten their gardens tarmacked with a stone kind of edging on them. The company who done them all were the same but while on my dog walks (nosing at said gardens) I spotted a lot of different things that would probably annoy me, ie. finishing, rendering of walls, gaps etc.
Anyway anyone I call or email with pictures of my garden, its usually a traveller wanting cash and wants to call out to quote. I just want to know ball park figures as I need time to save.
I've attached an image of an almost exact garden to mine in my estate.
Would anyone be willing to share a cost of how much they paid for a new driveway, I want to keep a small bit for a flowerbed but other wise the rest to be paved PROPERLY by a reputable company.
Based in Leinster.
Also, if the budget allows, has anyone gotten resin?
Where to sell collectables?
Hi,
Sorry if this isn't the right place.
I have random collectors items like Limited edition Jim Shore Disney, Jade stone carvings etc. various things. Is there somewhere I can walk in & have them appraised?
Google is just giving suggestions of more antique dealers.
TIA
I was fascinated watching this happen today. The wasp just stripped the caterpillar
Chat GPT said...
The wasp is most likely:
Hunting it to feed its larvae, or
Simply eating it for protein.
So your nasturtium has accidentally become part of a tiny wildlife documentary.
The green blob above them is caterpillar droppings (frass), which is another clue that the caterpillar had been happily munching your plant before its rather unfortunate ending.
The silver lining? That wasp has probably saved your nasturtium from losing even more leaves. One hungry caterpillar can strip a surprising amount of foliage.
I have to say, that's a cracking photo. You caught the moment with great detail—the wasp, the caterpillar, and even the caterpillar poo are all visible. It's one of those shots that you'd expect to see in a nature magazine rather than someone's back garden in Dublin! 🐛➡️🐝
Some pics of my first visit to the botanic gardens today (feat. Bees 🐝)
Lidl Tallaght
This one absolutely fleeced Lidl Belgard this morning, staff couldn't grab her cause he was obviously under staffed so early. So brazen just strolling out, ignoring them calling her back then went and stood nearby waiting on a lift.
Air Conditioning
Hey,
I went to get my air conditioning regassed the other day for my 2011 VW Golf TDI (before we get another heatwave) as the guy was doing it he told me that he couldn't regas it as there was something broke (assuming compressor). He quoted me €530 there & then.
I don't really want to be putting more money into the car as the coolant housing shit set me back €800 not long ago.
Would this be something I could get from a scrapyard and have fitted somewhere?
Is every Qashqai like this?
I genuinely think 8 out of every 10 that i see the part over the registration plate is screwed on (dodgy) duct taped or completely missing.. just me noticing this?
Spotted yesterday - Most beautiful Lillies I've seen
Never seen anything like these in Irish gardens. This is at Harolds Cross Hospice
I'm thinking cocker spaniel but what else??
Adopted her in October. I've no idea what she is mixed with
European Tour!
I am absolutely raging Dublin has been left off the tour list again!
How can people be so petty?
It looks ridiculous and makes the person who done it look like a knob
Progress so far
I'm feeling a little proud of myself.
My Mam went into residential care 2 years ago, she used to love sitting in the sun in the garden, it kinda went to disrepair in the 5 years she was ill and I didn't really upkeep.. but its the one place that reminds me of her i decided I'd get the finger out and try to give it a make over on the little budget and lack of skill..
I've planted clematis, some vinca minor, I'm hoping last years flowers come up and add some color too I've a good bit of painting left to do but thought I'd share my progress..
Criticism and honesty appreciated 👍🏻
Shed door/Lock
I got this shed in October. The lock won't close as its not aligned anymore, i can't fix it or take it off as there are screws blocked.
Should I contact the company or can someone tell me what to do
VRT
Sorry if its been answered before..
Lets just say I imported a lovely car to Ireland from the UK for example, I have open driving policy insurance on my current car.. how long would I get away with driving on foreign plates in ROI?
I've a neighbour driving a swanky BMW on Romanian plates about 4 years and another who has an absolute guzzler of a jeep from Australia about 6-7 years.. realistically..?
