Clampdown on TV 'Dodgy Boxes'
I appreciate these boxes are illegal. But will Gardaí resources be taken away from other more serious crime and public safety activities to pursue these box users ? Anyone think this is resources well spent, or it it wasting valuable resources ? RTE news : Clampdown on TV 'dodgy boxes' as legal warnings issued…

Using bro/dude
Anyone else hate being called "bro" or "dude"? I don't expect to be called "sir" and it has nothing to do with being misgendered, It just seems unprofessional.

Comparison between Ukraine's stubbornness to compromise and the Anglo Irish treat
Ukraine doesn't seem to be willing to make any compromise apart from the complete unconditional surrender of Russia which in a perfect world would be great but that's just not how the world works. I find it similar to the compromise we made in 1921, sure in a perfect world we shouldn't have had to become a free state and…

Interesting Maps
I have had a huge interest in maps and geography since I was a very small child - I am generally fascinated with the way places and routes are related to each other in spatial terms, and I could pore over a good map for ages. So here’s a little thread on maps that I find interesting and fascinating - some represent data,…

Boards is better than Reddit
There I've said it. I used give out about certain things in this place but having had a proper lurk and a bit of casual posting there now with maybe a couple months the place is disturbingly toxic for the most part. It's filled with toxic, disturbed little people of all persuasions. People with politics of all angles…

Sport on TV around the World - EPL, Boxing, Rugby, UFC etc
Hi all, Obviously we can’t get into the ways of illegally viewing channels outside of their counties but a recent vote has suggested that sport fans here enjoy knowing what channels they are on. I’ll set the ball in motion for tonight’s CL game. Please throw your info into the mix as you see fit.

What’s your most controversial opinion? **Read OP** **Mod Warning in Post #8023**
Here’s mine: The expansion of the EU should’ve stopped in 1995 with Austria, Sweden and Finland. The 2004 expansion with 10 new countries, (Czechia, Cyprus, Lithuania, Latvia, Slovenia, Slovakia, Hungary, Estonia, Malta, Poland) the 2007 addition of Romania and Bulgaria and 2013 addition of Croatia should never have…

How common is sleepwalking?
I ask because a (dependable) neighbour of ours yesterday told us she'd seen another neighbour in our front garden a few nights ago, acting very oddly. I'm not going to say what they were doing, but it was not malicious (that we know); but quite strange, and one theory i was considering is they may have been sleepwalking.…

Irish-held world records
i'm curious as to what interesting records there are out there, held by Irish people - and not the novelty ones like 'the world's largest tea towel' type. to start - the Everesting world record for cycling is held by Ronan McLaughlin, set at the Mamore Gap in Inishowen. everesting involves climbing and descending a hill…

Loyalist or Unionist pubs in Belfast playing trad music.
Sticking this on after hours to spark a bit of discussion. I'm wondering if any Loyalist or Unionist pubs in Belfast have ever played traditional Irish music, or perhaps started incorporating trad music. I'd be genuinely interested to hear if it happens, how it's received locally, and where it can be found. If anyone has…

Do you use AI?
I do, I find it an incredibly useful tool that allows me to do my work better and deliver more comprehensive write-ups etc. I am a self employed business consultant, I use my paid subscription as my personal PA.

World Cup 2026 After Hours Thread
Seems a bit weird but the 23rd World Cup tournament kicks off next week when Mexico take on South Africa in Mexico City Thursday night, I'm largely apathetic because of all the bullsh1t surrounding it, that and the 48 teams making it very bloated and drawn out (5 f*cking weeks) nearly goes on as long as the Rugby WC.

What's the etiquette here??
I had to open my business today for a few hours, and asked one of the lads to come in and give me a hand.

Who is someone you inexplicably can't stand?
Is there anyone out there that you just don't like and you just can't explain it? Someone who you just can't stand but they've never really done anything to make you feel that way. For example, I have an irrational dislike of Emma Watson. I've never really seen any of her films or interviews but if I look something up and…
