There's that "flatten the curve" once more. Just one winter to flatten the curve I suppose. You might notice she's not taking about generating more, just stopping you from using it.

Also if everyone switches to a different time, won't that become peak time?

Will you be fooled again?

Gas these lizards, all of them, truss them up and gas them.

They've (Supermac's) been doing that for decades, a mate took that job in '92. Said it was grim alright, the only time off anyone spent there was to sleep. This was back in the day when you could afford to go someplace else in Dublin.

Ah fair enough, good to know.


Plenty of lads would jump at that. Cutting turf for a living and getting out of the poxy office and the poxy fucking traffic? Ya boi.

Absolutely just daydreaming a situation here but - maybe a good solid 07:00-16:00 four days a week, doing whatever labour BnM fire at you, but you're absolutely stone solid protected in your job so they won't abuse you, there's enough lads in the bog/on site daily so you're not overworked, but it's constant enough.  But they give you, say, a house that's not rented but your wage is auto deducted to pay a mortgage off it (so you'll own it yourself but they do until it's paid FULL) plus a bit of interest so the company themselves profit on the deal, also all your bills are covered in full no questions asked, you have company tick to the value of €120/week for a decent supermarket nearby, and they stick another €80 cash in an envelope for you at the end of the week.  Would ye do it?


Without a moments hesitation.

Let the urban techno hippies stay 'in town' and argue about bullshit on the internet.


As an archaeologist (it's my lived experience, guys!) I have spent a decent amount of time on Bord na Móna bogs and it can be such a peaceful environment to work in. I suppose if you're clearing ditches and using heavy machinery or might be a different story but it's nice to be out in that landscape. It's good for the brain.

Sounds like heaven when you spend an hour in horrific traffic with cunts acting the cunt non-stop, wrecked from work, back into the shit wagon you haven't paid off yet to the gaff you'll pay off when you're seventy to argue on the internet with a 'peace land and mickey amputations' enthusiast who enrages you further.

Sign me up.

Yeah I'd do it too.  I imagined the deal too sweet though I'm sure in real life if such a thing were to ever happen it would be ran into the ground somehow.

No stop. Let's keep dreaming of the simple life.

Haha.  Spent plenty of my summers footing and clamping turf.  No place more peaceful, ceannabhains and snipes and blue skies to the horizon.

Like a fool, traded it all for a 'mess of pottage' sunny climes and exotic pussy.

Change that €120 to real money though, no company funny money
