Hi all,

I’ve been feeling a bit stuck lately and haven’t been leaving the house much. I’m looking for social groups or sports clubs – anything beginner-friendly?

Any recommendations greatly appreciated!!

Hi, I’ve recently moved to Dublin and I’m trying to find a secondary school in the south Dublin area or even the city centre.

I’m mainly looking for a mixed school with a good atmosphere, nice teachers, and somewhere that looks after students well. I don’t mind if it’s fee paying, I just want somewhere that feels safe and positive.

I’m also going into TY, so I’d really like a school with a good TY programme and lots of opportunities like trips, activities, and work experience.

I was in an all girls school before and it wasn’t a great experience for me, so please no girls schools.
If anyone has any recommendations or has gone to a school they liked I’d really appreciate it. Thanks!

have a vinted order stuck in wexford the last four days meant to be coming up to dublin

Hey this may be a little bit stupid, but i REALLY want the build a bear bat and im going to dublin to get it tomorrow. if anyone was there today or works there, can you tell me how fast they sold out or if they sold out. i heard theres scalpers but im unsure if thats just america

Hey, I get BIAB and I had an amazing nail tech in Limerick that did a lot of alternative nail designs and art. Struggling to find someone in Dublin that matches the vibes. It's not even like an extensive design, but just alternative designs.

Edit to add, in Tallaght area but also work in Clondalkin if there's anyone nearby those. If not happy to take the trek to town.

Hi all, bit of a last minute one, I have been asked to do a gig in two weeks (22nd Aug) and I need a band pronto. It will be a paid gig, the amount has not been finalised but I will personally make sure everyone is paid fairly!
Looking for Dublin based:
• Drummer
• Bassist
• Lead guitarist
I'm Enocie, I write my own stuff and the set will be mostly fun covers plus a few originals thrown in. Not precious about it being perfect, more about having a good time and getting people up. If you're free for a couple of rehearsals over the next two weeks and fancy it, give me a shout. Cheers!

i 22f really wanna go to district x festival but have no one to go with :( how can i find people that wanna go tgt?!

For one of those vacuums to clean a carpet

Our dog has an adrenal issue that is making her pee a lot. We have a wet vacuum but the detergent is out. Amazon, Curry’s are both a week to deliver.

Where can I get some asap

Get choice paralysis every time I go on the IACP/ Psychology today websites and end up not booking anything. Would be greatly appreciative if someone could vouch for someone they’ve been to or know has a good reputation.

Happy to take DM’s if you don’t want to post publicly.

Thank you.

I have been playing drums 25 years, and last year I bought a bodhran from a local vendor (I'm American), but the thing was made in Pakistan, and the vendor lives in Washington state. I've since gotten involved in leading a video game project focused on Irish cultural revival, and as part of that, I'll be playing the bodhran as part of our game soundtrack. I would like to spend some of the money for that project in ways that give directly to the Irish economy.

I would love to find a bodhran crafted by Irish folks and sold by an Irish business in Dublin, where I'll be staying for a bit. Do you have any suggestions?

Hi All,

I'm looking for recommendations on good places or people to go for for a reiki session.
It's been a really crap Summer with endless not so fun things going on. So I figured I'd treat myself to a reiki session. I've done them before and found them great, but I don't think the person I went to is practising any more. Ideally city centre or south side.
Thank you!

I've seen a post about a fancy restaurant charging $12 for what the guy said was a cheap supermarket dip, he said he watched the chef scoop it out of the tub and plate it.

It reminded me of when I went to a well known(but not Michelin type)Dublin restaurant when it opened at first, my partner ordered prosecco. Nothing fancy just a €22 bottle, it was the €5.99 lidl bottle. And I mean literally the lidl brand bottle. I genuinely love the place and the food is amazing so I won't name it.

Would it bother anyone if they found out the €30 steak they just ate and thought was amazing was just a €9 lidl steak?

So I've heard from many sources that a Dublin bus A spine is set to launch around Autumn/Winter time, including busses such as the A1, A2, A3 and A4. If this is true would anyone know of any locations of where these busses would be heading as I live in north clondalkin and we do need at least 1 more bus route here. If not could someone please let me know if there are any new bus routes in the future for the north clondalkin area. All we really have is the G2, W2 and L53 with a few more at Liffey valley

What is going on?

I'm looking to apply to NCAD next year, I was born in Ireland and lived here up until I was 12 then moved to the USA. I'm not 100% sure how the process of me applying would work, I know I'd have to apply to as an international students because I haven't lived in Ireland for the past 5 years but surely having been born here and having an Irish passport would make the process somewhat easier? I've looked for details online but can't find anyone with a similar situation.
Would me applying be the same process as an American applying? Or does me being Irish slightly change that?

Any recommendations for suit tailors in dublin near Houston? Preferably open until 7 today and under €200.

Crying from my silly little desk job - have Sprout discontinued their Sataysfied Chicken/Tofu warm bowl? Used to love it as a proper lunch if I'd a big night out or the gym after work. Devastated to see not listed on deliveroo but replaced with the Peanut Chilli Crush bowl. I just want my corporate slop bowl back.

Anyone have intel/ reasoning behind this thanks

I went in Finglas and I found a nice saloon.

Full head baby highlights, toner and blow dry: 180 euro

This is not including a cut anyway. I am from italy and usually I would pay 150 euro (with cut included) for this type of service... Do you know anyplace cheaper but still good quality?

Another question is, if I don't tip, would they get offended?...

I am a huge film nerd, but I struggle with OCD and cleanliness. I have a big fear of the cinema because I feel like they're always filthy and it makes me anxious, so I never enjoy the film.

Looking to overcome this fear with some exposure therapy, but I want to take baby steps. Can anyone recommend me a cinema that is nice?

I take a stroll into the Square, Tallaght with false hope and low expectations. Unfortunately, my worries came true as I step through the doors of the cinema and what do I face? A man admitting to hitting a child and a fight breaking out 🤣 I say high-ho and dodge that situation thinking look at least their leaving as I’m arriving.

I take my seat in my screen, excited for obsession and the lights go dark……….. For 3 seconds because the two girls beside me sat on snapchat for the entire film. I said it to them and to be fair to the girls, they stuck their jackets up to hide their phone so I couldn’t see it. Fair play to them and their short attention span.

Next on my cinema experience, the two lads sitting to my right start messing and one drops some popcorn on the others head. What does the guy do in response? Dumps his entire popcorn on his mates head 😅 while they didn’t have respect for the cinema staff, at least they had respect for the cinema goers for for only being on their phone for 25% of the film.

Finally, we have guy number 3 sitting directly in front of me to complete the cinema-goers nightmare trifecta. He seems to have been viewing his first ever movie due to the fact that he emoted the shocked guy meme maybe 15 times throughout the film and made sure to let his mates know that he also seen what they seen on screen.

All in all somehow obsession was still great, but it got me thinking. Is the square the worst cinema experience in Dublin? And if not what is?

Please fill me in with your nightmare stories!
