A doctor once told me (10 or 15 years ago) that the internet was a blessing and a curse. Patients more likely to come in having diagnosed themselves online, but by the same token doctors were able to quickly educate themselves on stuff they'd have struggled to learn otherwise.

I mentioned this here before but I went to my doctor several times over several years thinking I'd got really bad hay fever. it got so bad I couldn't breathe through my nose at all over summer months, and it never really went away. I'd go to the doctor, he'd take a look, and I'd get a prescription for a spray that alleviated it but never fixed the problem.

Eventually I read a story online about someone sneezing out a nasal polyp(!) and looked them up.... then looked up my nose... then went back to the doctor. The conversation was basically me going "You see that thing up there - that's not supposed to be there is it? Could it be nasal polyps?" and him going "Hmmm let me take a look. Oh yes - nasal polyps. Did you diagnose that yourself?"

We’ve been the highest bidder on a house for over 2 weeks now and it’s at 12k over the listed asking price.
We called the estate agent today to get things moving and he said the seller wants us to give an additional 18k as that’s what he thinks it is worth.
The absolute cheek!!
There’s no one else bidding, no more viewings lined up and no one else is even interested in it any more.
€18,000!!!! When no one else even wants the place.
Fuck that shit.

Conversley I once went into a doctor with my niche condition, and he googled it and read the wiki in front of me - i just appreciated that he didn't go pretending and did it all openly.

I've seen doctors reading wiki pages in A&E. I dunno how to feel about that tbh

I’ll wait until hell freezes over. That dick isn’t getting that off me. The place needs about €30,000 of work to it.

Like i'm sure you are hearing more noises than me - but every noise i've heard so far seems like: A a very very tight budget in october for ireland and B: less people having less jobs and therefore less money. Also cocainey looking propertly columnists are talking about house prices not being affected by tariffs, and those guys were all proven to be fucking idiots last time.

 

[Reets]

Lots of kite flying about the budget but it’ll be a tight one alright, not much choice otherwise as it’s too hard to be sure about corporation tax in 2026.

I can’t see a massive downturn in property prices, there just isn’t the numbers built right now for that to happen.

I’m starting work in what has the potential to be a really interesting area and as a closet doomsday prepper, it’s either the best or worst job for me. Pay is better than before but I’m still not giving that greedy fucker more money.

I the house numbers stay the same, but the number of people in a position to buy either leave the country or go below the affordability threshold, then in all reality more houses have technically been built

Is it a good or bad time for Irish bands?
I keep seeing Irish bands that I've never heard doing big gigs and selling out, loads of them. Good I suppose.
Whenever I check them out they are awful. Bad.

 

[GARYXKNIFEDX]

Arguably never been more bands playing gigs. Never been harder to find the good ones.


( Also applies to international bands )

Well I'll start with the lowest hanging fruit. Kneecap, awful music.

I just tried them for a song.
There were three, i repeat three acoustic guitars on stage.
Everyone in the audience was clearly a schoolteacher. Gormless balladry, not for me.

They've got H.O.O.D and Cearta which are singles you can dine on for years - i'm wondering now that they have reached the eye of the storm, if they can come up with 2-3 more like that they are set for life.
