No, I'd rather they stocked the shelves out of hours and did not put their staff and customers at risk. I'd rather we gave their staff the space to work safely. That's what I'd rather. Your post is so dumb and self-contradictory I won't even bother with it.

Hey Supervalu! You know the way you have those stickers helping people to stay 2m apart at the tills? Well here's an idea: How about you stock the shelves out of hours so that the aisles aren't blocked with trolleys and your staff making it impossible to avoid brushing past people at 15cm? I was in ...

Careful. If you aren't posting about the horrors of war you may be accused of whingeing

Off you go. Make sure to post an update here when you have the done the work on implementing your idea and the first club meeting is scheduled.

Yeah, you're the victim.

My take, and I have zero affiliation with any organisation so no agenda other than the quality of life for me and my family, there is a long history of FCC shafting the community with sham consultations. This includes hand-picked advisory groups, unpublicised and difficult to access releases of info...

It's not ok. More importantly it's not for you to decide if it's ok. That's why we have laws: so the selfish and thoughtless don't get to dictate how the rest of us live. Why is this hard for you to understand?

I'd say there's a strong correlation between driving a 4x4 and parking in disabled spaces.

I dont see the problem with parking in one of the many spaces for disabled at the train station as long as you stay in your car and you are not denying a space to someone who needs it. Maybe have a think about it. Despite what you may think, you are not that special. At the very least, those others...

Very good. Also, waiting in a disabled parking space at the train station for your fit and able child with the engine of your massive 4x4 running is also fine as long as you are prepared to point out to people who don't agree that "there are plenty of disabled spaces". If other people are ...

There is a history of councillors and TDs who have been very supportive of developers' interests in Fingal. Providing facilities for sports groups is a very cost-effective fig leaf for this, while also serving as a useful way of dividing the community. This is why all the sports clubs are first to b...

Nice. Someone posts here looking to socialise in the community and ends up being threatened. I'm done here

Hi I am interested in some more metro style blokes socialising meaning I don't want to go running or playing basketball or drink to excess. I just want to chill and chat. Any other Dudes mid 20's - 30's open for a modern day Buddy without the toxic masculinity ? :lol: Nice idea skip. Have you looke...

There is a post about someone being overcharged by 12 euro on a full shop - no mention of pastries and a fair chunk of cash so this can't be it. Since you still haven't linked to the famous 60c pastries post you made such big deal out of, so I'll go out on a limb here and suggest you invented it. In...

Two posts in a row where you've been rabbiting on about posters whinging.

Just provide the link to the post about the pastries being overcharged by 60c.

That post about 60c on pastries sounds nuts. Only problem is I was not able to find any posts referencing pastries. Can you post a link to the actual post on pastries you are referencing in your post? Search found 1 match: pastries Searched query: pastries Here is a link to a manageable explainer fo...

To save some time for the virtuous eye-rollers who would otherwise certainly be doing important and worthwhile work elsewhere, can we just take it as read that the vast majority of the posts on this "community board for residents of Donabate and Portrane" are small, mostly "first-worl...

Are you serious?

Just a comment that using doing your own checkout work so the supermarket doesn't have to is facilitating the cutting of hours for people working on the checkouts in the interest of profits. It used to be a choice of convenience for people in a hurry to get out fast with one or two items. Lately the...

The new eirbus service seems to have taken a substantial proportion of the usual customers from the 33d - maybe more than half. Would be interested to know what anyone who uses it more regularly thinks.

It's not a mystery - poor planning from FCC: allowing prolific development with inadequate infrastructure. They did it to Balbriggan 30 years ago, nothing new.

The idea of changing at Malahide is interesting, especially now with the increased overcrowding and frequent terminations of service at Connolly. Anyone doing this regularly?

In principle this service is good news but it appears to be operating on almost the same route and within 20 minutes of the 33D. Hard to see the benefit and possibly a threat to the existing service which was hard fought to retain. An hour or 90 minutes between them would have made more sense - unle...

That's interesting about people preferring to drive despite the dreadful traffic - I have been doing the same for a couple of years when I can't deal with the train. The recent halting of travel past Connolly after peak hours is also a major deterrent. There is 3 billion euros in votes for fast broa...

Sorry to say I have to agree with bye-laws on controlling dogs. Quite a few run ins with dog owners letting their dogs fall behind them and playing dumb to the inevitable in NB House. Also I have two family members who are scared of dogs because of past attacks and it ruins their peace of mind to ha...
