And it is still there, try finding a message 1 month old in the Lounge.
Also you would not go looking for a profiler or any tool in the Lounge!

We probably should feel honored that you think there are no tools in the lounge.

On the second call from my recruiter at Nigel Frank, UK, he asked how much notice would I need to move to Dublin, and he told me to do some serious research on the affordable availability of a single bedroom place in the city, being on a package of €65,000 p.a. It could even be a bedsitter to start with.
Any advice would be welcome, and if it happens, meeting a familiar name or two around the isles would be great. But no beers.

It sadly does, even more so for whiskeys, but I'm a recovering alcoholic. I'm also a Thelemite[^], and their order, the O.T.O.[^] is much, much stronger in Ireland, or the UK in general, than in SA.

In that case you're forgiven.
Hang in there in not drinking.

Dublin is expensive (especially the part I live in  ) but not compared to London. Also the personal tax rates are higher so you won't be trousering as much of that €65k as you would do in the UK. A 1-bed should be €800 - €1000 pcm[^]
Areas to avoid*: Darndale, Coolock, City Centre / Sherriff Street
Areas to look at: Dalkey, Dun Loaghaire, Blackrock, Ballsbridge, Fairview, Drumcondra, Howth (ish)
* This is, obviously, my opinion and is mostly because of poor their transport links. Dublin is small and easily cycle-able but the busses basically don't work so you need to be near a LUAS (tram) or DART (rail) unless you are close to work.

Are in contact with Paul Watson, previously of this parish? He has just done the reverse, going back to SA from Dublin, but he may well know of people to ask.

No, indeed not. Matter of fact, I knew Paul from CP while h was still in SA. I'll be sure to ask him.

Bigger than the village of Treblinka?
It must be smaller than Quinta do Anjo.

I wouldn't move there on that package TBH. Tax is high, public transport is a joke. A decent apartment will probably cost you 1500 EUR per month. Try www.daft.ie for rental listings. Depending on where you will be working and your personal preferences, the city centre could actually be fine to live in, but most people choose to live by the sea, Sandymount or such. Proximity to the ocean is one of the best things about Dublin. That, and the craic...

Why should they vote? They already have full powers! At least, the women in my family...

Those women sound just like... Men 
Could it be that we are all just people? 
What I never understood though is that even women fight against rights for women 
I mean, when was the last time you heard a man say that men should not have certain rights?
I guess that makes us the marginally smarter sex after all

Well, dunno where you are coming from, but here you could hear a lot of men complaining about suspension of mandatory military service. That's just one example.

I'm so glad I live in a country where military service is a thing of the past 
I wouldn't survive a day
