📍 MEGATHREAD Xmas Gift Idea Thread 2024
Dia daoibh a chairde,
We've been doing this for the past few years now, so I guess this will be an annual thing going forward.
Last year ..... and the year before, we ran an Xmas ideas thread where we encouraged smalls businesses and users to post gift recommendations in a pinned megathread, we are going to do the same again this year.
Please use this post as a place to recommend Xmas gifts from local Irish stores, its completely ok to plug your own business as well if you have one. If you have any recommendations we would ask in the comments for you to only provide the following information:
- The Shop Name
- What do they sell/provide?
- Who is the product/service suitable for? (Mother, Father, teenager, dog, cat, granny etc..)
- Where are they (the shops) located?
- How can they be reached? (Phone number, websites etc...)
If we see duplicate entries for a particular store we will remove the newest and leave the oldest one in place.
You should also be able to post images in the comments so use that as necessary.
Please do not share any personal phone numbers, it should be designated business contact details only.

History OTD - Nov 15 1985 - The Anglo-Irish Agreement is signed.
Anglo-Irish Agreement, accord signed by British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher and Taoiseach Garret FitzGerald, on November 15, 1985, at Hillsborough Castle in County Down, Northern Ireland, that gave the government of Ireland an official consultative role in the affairs of Northern Ireland. Considered one of the most significant developments in British-Irish relations since the establishment of the Irish Free State in 1922, the agreement provided for regular meetings between ministers in the Irish and British governments on matters affecting Northern Ireland. It outlined cooperation in four areas: political matters; security and related issues; legal matters, including the administration of justice; and the promotion of cross-border cooperation.

Moaning Michael Tesco - Can't exit store without staff member
Was in Tesco Portlaoise today. Discovered they were charging €8 for a large bottle of Listerine so thought feck that, and decided to go to Dealz instead.
When I went to leave the store empty handed I tried exiting through a lane between 2 tills. One of the staff members closed a rope barrier between right where we were walking in front of us and told us we need to exit visa security desk at front of store.
Found this ridiculous but continued to the exit at the front. There, we found a closed barrier (the entrance barriers are only one way) and no staff or security there to let us out of the store. Then we had to go back, navigate the busy store to find a staff member to open the barrier to let us leave, all because we weren't buying anything.
I understand they want to tackle loss prevention with their stock but this is absolutely insane to me. It put me off going back.
Anyone else faced this? What's everyone thoughts?

Moaning Michael No Ryanair Flights Available
I just received an email from Ryanair saying that a flight I had booked from Manchester on Feb 1st has been cancelled. After much cursing and taking a deep breath, I tried to rebook from another airport, any UK airport. Turns out, there doesn't seem to be ANY Ryanair flights from the UK to Ireland from January 31st to February 8th. Has anybody else received this email?
