Does anyone here have an actual real life "they worked in my home and I'd love to have them back if I needed" recommendation for a painter (of wood indoor furniture) - preferably one that does spray painting) in Cork?
One where we can go see work they did etc...

After a two-day visit to Dublin, the only thing I want to say is this:

I apologize in advance, but this is true: Dubliners have no right to complain about bad weather.

They receive 750 mm of rain a year, while Galway (city) has 1,550 mm, and the Aran Islands have even more.

Continued thread

With #Eir forcing me to repeat over and over again my complaint with their service, & how their response has been unacceptable, & going through the formal complaint process only for them to tell me yet again there is nothing more they can do (note: there is something more they can do) - by the time it came to my final call with them it felt so liberating to tell them that my follow up complaint with Comreg (the regulator) will be escalated if they don't fix their shit by tomorrow.

Been thinking about this particular mode of Irish dialect, where if I slip into it no English person can understand me…

Let’s call it “Jocular Mode”. Never heard it described before, but my grandfather used it, and lots of my friends. Reference: “Hardy Bucks” TV show.
- “s” becomes “sh”
- “ee” becomes “ay”

Does this ring any bells for other Irish people or other languages/dialects? #linguistcs #Mastodaoine
