Speaking of which, I locked myself and a mate out of my gaff at ten o'clock last night while we were popping 20 metres down the road to see a man about a dog. Saturday night of a long weekend, looking like having no chance but to get shafted by a locksmith call out. Mate kinda gives the credit card thing a go, but there's a lip on the wood and it doesn't seem to be working. Herself out of the country too, but I rang just in case she'd any ideas. She says there's a key to the back door in her drawer at work, and since by what seems a stroke of luck the mate I'm with works in her lab too, we can get in, then come back home, go in through the neighbour's gaff, hop over the 3m wall and open the kitchen door from the outside. So there we are, buds in pocket, but with none of our stuff to roll it, and also a major headache to sort out first. Anyway, we trot off to the lab, which is on the other side of town, find the key, come back, go to the neighbour, almost kill myself climbing the wall, and then... the key won't work from the outside because the other key is in the lock on the inside. FUCK! Ring my mate who's waiting round the front, tell him I'm coming back round, we'll have to call a locksmith, but try credit card again anyway. Back over the 3m wall of death, rip my jeans for good measure on the way. Send an honest question to herself asking what she thinks will be cheaper, an out-of-hours call out from a locksmith or replacing a pane of glass if I smash one. "Do not smash the window!" Fine, fine. Mate has had no luck again with his credit card, but he thinks maybe it went in a bit past the lip but he's worried about breaking it on the bend trying. Open my wallet, what card do I have that I can afford to sacrifice? The matte green of a Leap card greets me so I whip it out and shove it in with total abandon at the level I think the latch is at. Click: door pops open handy as you fucking like, even smoother and easier than in the movies! So, an hour of running all over Bordeaux for nothing. Let me tell ye, that first joint and beer were something else! 

Anyway, at least I learnt first hand both how easy it is to pop open a standard front door and along with that why you really need to always properly lock it whenever you go out.

Fuck sake

The mate was an Aussie and all. And just as well; he took having his planned night of smoke and tunes turned into a wild goose chase with characteristic good humour 

[Eoin McLove]

A good old yarn for him to bring home.

Reading the almost daily articles in the Irish indo about the housing crisis and the various interviewees and the near impossibility of home ownership in Dublin. Lads with good jobs, savings and under the constant spectre of homelessness. It must be terrifying, especially if you have a family.

I hope Sinn Féin have the answers, as there is no doubt that their time is nigh, although I'll not hold my breath. I owe and will continue to owe until I'm even older and even more annoying, but I tip my hat to Jaysus that this gaff belongs to us (provided the mortgage gets paid) and I'm not at home scrapping for a 2000 grand rental or commuting from Leitrim.

4 cans of Stella which used to be 7.50 euro jumped to 9.25 in a week in my local off licence. Price gouging at its finest imo.
Not to long ago you could get 8 cans for 10euro.
When is this going to stop.
This cost of living shit is a load of me boll#ix. I have everything cut to the bone at this stage and still feel like I'm getting rode for the few treats you get in for the weekend after a hard weeks work.

I heard that in the NI budget they put a tax freeze on beers to allow pubs a 'chance to recuperate lost revenue'. But diageo put the price of all their drinks up 40p anyway. And theyve Monopoly on a lot of our booze so possibly a similar situation with you if it was a company price hike

[Carnage]

Diageo did that in the Republic a couple of months ago so suck it up. I'm dropping the pub end of things from now on anyway TBH. Bottle of wine on the weekend, that'll do me from now on. The cunts have enough of my tax shillings.

[astfgyl]

Same as that, can't justify the price in the pub anymore it's just gone past the point of being grand at all

[Hellyeah]

Was in the off licence today and got chatting to the owner all prices going up from the suppliers. Whether it's your branded beer or your fancy crafty ones they are all going up. Said he's getting emails daily from suppliers regarding increases.
He said the days of "getting hammered for 10euro are over"

How is that evil bitch Catriona Carey not in the jail? Infuriating.
