Your link is wrong.
Getting old is compulsory whilst growing up is voluntary.

Speaking of price hikes - https://www.independent.ie/irish-news/price-of-pints-set-for-unprecedented-increase-as-heineken-writes-to-publicans-warning-of-spiralling-costs-42134554.html

The price of Heino might go up 25c.  It would drive you to drink (I'll get me coat  ::fight )

That'll be the end of midweek and Sunday pints for a lot of people!

No doubt we're being robbed.... and one of my favourite new firms, Screwfix is at the front of the queue to rob us now that the honeymoon period is over.

Example: My brother bought this mighty little drill a couple of years ago for €75 in Screwfix, Glasnevin. Now it's €114.95 on screwfix.ie yet a few miles up the road in Newry the same firm sells it for £74.99 (€85.60).

https://www.screwfix.ie/p/erbauer-ebcd18li-2-18v-2-x-2-0ah-li-ion-ext-cordless-combi-drill/785hf

https://www.screwfix.com/p/erbauer-ebcd18li-2-18v-2-x-2-0ah-li-ion-ext-cordless-combi-drill/785hf

Still a great site for finding stuff with genuine reviews, Q&A, etc... but necessary to google competitors' prices before buying... and/or checking if it's worth a trip to Newry for the more expensive bits and pieces.

If it doesn't have a roof sign and door stickers it's not a taxi.

once a week a let off a meguiar's whole car deodiser in the car. puts a brand new car smell in the car. deadly.
they were €13 before the shamdemic. they're €22 now.
i have a tooth that's gone bandy and i was lookin at gettin it pulled and gettin an implant.
just after the shamdemic ended i was told it would be over two large.
went the other day to have another chat and was told it would be close to three large now.
