@BadgedPatriot Your job is to pay for what you eat. Their job is to pay their staff properly. If they can't do that, close the door and stop harassing people. Tips are for excellent service not as a wages top up.

This drives me nuts to see a threatening message like this on a business. I totally agree tipping is in good taste but the problem I have is "20% is expected". If a server gives poor service I'm not committing myself to tip 20%. I may leave 10%...or none percent🫤 Earn my tip!

@NicAirtFiles Simple answer to them #FRO

Absolutely fed up to the back teeth of non-Irish complaining about how difficult it is to live in Ireland. There is absolutely no one stopping them from returning to the countries their parents came from. Maybe living in a 3rd world shithole will stop them whinging for a while!

@Rugby_Scoop Looks like a big girl's blouse!

#RugbyScoop | Pollock’s repeated involvement in off-the-ball incidents since signing with a boxing promoter risks bringing rugby into disrepute. Referees and citing commissioners need to stamp this out before it escalates further.

@FMC_Rugby Love it 😄😄 "wet fart" brilliant!

Yeah see the McGregor type gimmick only works when you’re on the front foot. Most importantly when you’re winning. Unless you’re delivering a 10/10 individual performance, it’s a total wet fart when you’re losing

@ClynchPaula Glad I live elsewhere, would probably be in jail for my reaction to this BS! Ireland sent so much money to various countries in need and now they are invading the country!

My daughter went online to do some exam revision. Are there no Irish people left in Ireland? The constant over representation of Africans/Indians in Irish advertising is off the scale.

@NicAirtFiles Should be jailed not given a slap on the wrist. After jail sent back to Sudan with a large kick up the arse!

The WHO has requested that the Irish government DO NOT recruit healthcare workers from Sudan, because there is a shortage there, but not only is our government ignoring the WHO, they are recruiting healthcare workers from developing countries without any oversight.

@EoinLenihan Correct! Good to see some common sense on here!

Sinn Fein are not nationalists. They are 32-county socialist republicans. They only care about the northern border - every other border should be open. If Sinn Fein were in charge of a 32-county Irish republic, Ireland as a nation would cease to exist within a generation.

@TouchmineX FIFA are idiots, If they want, China can easily intercept and re-broadcast the games to all of China and if they really want to play hard, the World, for free! I won't be watching but if available free to air could be enticed.

🚨🇨🇳 CCTV (China Central Television) President Shen Haixiong on FIFA’s outrageous $300 million demand for broadcasting rights in China: “FIFA have become corrupt under Infantino. All they care about now is money — the fans are no longer their concern. Just look at the ticket prices for World Cup matches. How can an average working-class person afford them?” “Football used to belong to everyone, but they have slowly taken that away from the middle class.” “They could lose a combined audience of 3 billion people from India and China alone if they do not reduce their greed.” 😳

@Michaeach3 This is at the least a complete abdication of policy, if not illegal.

Look closely at this image. You are watching a takeover in real time. This is Cork City Hall, Ireland. Islamists are draping a massive foreign flag over the official seat of government, while the actual Irish flag is reduced to a tiny decoration taped to the woodwork. When you prioritize performative ideology over national sovereignty, you do not just lose your culture. You actively fund its replacement. Appeasement is cultural suicide. Share and follow to expose this!

@ProofreadJulia 🍻😂😂

You'd think the poor dogs had already suffered enough, wouldn't you. (Yup, the importance of writing correct English!)

@BrixtonHatter @ccshoreditch Put masking tape on the cameras! 😂😂

I’m fully invested in the Shoreditch autonomous taxi debacle. Waymo cabs have been driving down this street at 4am, getting stuck, then having to reverse & making loads of noise & waking up residents. Now they’ve blocked it in lmao HT @ccshoreditch

@NileGardiner Or Scotland has rules that allow every visitor to stand?

The British Government should step in and deport this migrant. This is an insult to the British people.

@NileGardiner How can it even stand for election to parliament? Makes no sense unless fake papers were involved.

@MiddleEastEye British police are losing the plot! Uphold the law and stop worrying about idiots "feeling" uncomfortable FFS!

A British woman was stopped by police at a train station and told she was under investigation after a passenger on a train reported feeling uncomfortable and alleged she had made comments referencing the Holocaust. Police said they had received a text message alleging she had denied the Holocaust, and subsequently tracked her down and told her she was being investigated for a "racially aggravated public order" offence. The woman, Fiona Rose Diamond, an activist with anti-Zionist views, said she was expressing political views about the political ideology Zionism. She said she had just returned from an oncology appointment in London when she was met by British Transport Police at the station. She also said she believed the timing and circumstances were not a coincidence. The activist argued that anti-Zionism is increasingly being deliberately conflated with antisemitism in order to silence criticism of Israel and suppress dissenting political views in Britain. "I am more than entitled to hold beliefs about a political ideology," she said in the video, adding that her grandfather was Jewish. The incident has sparked renewed debate over free speech in the UK.

@PlanetRugby Pollock the pillock!

😇 Thoughts on Henry Pollock's 'comical' cameo? #LEIvNOR

@PsyGuy007 Go back to the desert! Serrano is literally a religion in Spain and other countries in the region. If you don't like it, tough, don't eat it but don't whine.

🐷 🇪🇸 CHOQUANT : En Espagne, près de 700 kg de jambon serrano exposés. Certaines personnes s’indignent et crient à l’islamophobie. Que leur conseilleriez-vous de faire ?

@binghach @AndyatAuto @DailyMail Hmm, not sure of model, colleague's 2026 MG here in Portugal as per info from him when my 12v battery died, his car does not have one. All power comes from the motive battery. (Apparently) Either way, I certainly would have appreciated a heads up that that the 12V batt was dying

@Mart_multitask @AndyatAuto @DailyMail Might want to show some working here Mart. The following still have a separate LV battery - MG4, MG S5, MG ZS, MG S6 has moved it to the boot for some reason, MG4 Urban. Mechanical door handles are also still a thing on a lot of MGs.

The @DailyMail strikes again with EV sensationalism. Let me tackle the obvious points. The door latch, the dashboard are powered by a 12v battery (yes an EV has two batteries) that performs the same duties if EV or ICE. It’s unlikely that the cause of Mr Biggins issues were specific to the EV powertrain or the traction battery. Where electronic latches are provisioned, there is normally an override in case of airbag deployment and a mechanical override. In the case of the Fiat500 the inside emergency release is low down in the door trim/pocket area. Pull it and the door will open (there’s also an override from the outside) Finally, when a 12v battery is not charging, warnings will have been flashing on the dashboard in both EV or ICE configurations. Always take these seriously as they are not randomly triggered (it’s triggered by a voltage monitor). Automotive Engineers take these scenarios very seriously- we plan countermeasures to all sorts of unlikely occurrences in FTAs and FMEAs. The mechanical override is one of the resultant solutions. The cars operating manual is a wealth of useful information and everyone should read theirs (we spend a lot of man hours writing them!)

@declanganley There is an actual offence for this, never mind the fact that it is a complete disgrace and display of absolute ignorance! Having said that, Corkonians were never considered the brightest sparks.. probably from Montenotte..

City Hall in Cork, pre-eminence given to the flag of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan and the Ivory Coast. (They pinned the Irish flag upside down and so made it the flag of the Ivory Coast). I’m more than curious as to how this came about and what is going to be done about it because formal sanctions should be carried out.

@varrock Umbrella in the spokes.. 😜

@AndyatAuto @DailyMail Also incorrect regarding 12v battery issue warnings. As the owner of a Leaf I received no warning that my 12V battery was almost dead. Found out online when the car would not let me charge the motive battery and blocked the charging socket!
