        I don't need to tell you how eager those people are to "return to the office"
        .
        Their lives have been completely transformed by not spending up to five hours commuting. every work day.

          This is a helpful comment.

          This advert was a perfect balance of what Regina offers. All the bells & whistles of what a bigger city offers but played in a flat key.
          They missed out the Roughriders though. Ya gotta have the Roughies if you're talking up Regina.

            Five hours. Fucking hell. I've a friend spends three hours each day travelling back and forth by bus from a Tipperary hellhole to a Dublin warehouse hellhole, but 5 hours, fuck sake.

            One poor lad in our office moved back to Donegal during the pandemic, only the recent spike in cases here has saved him (for now) from having to pay a grand a month for a Dublin shoebox room so he can pointlessly show his face twice a week. I wouldn't like to see any fucker even attempt a Donegal to Dublin commute.

              On a bus? The luxury! The poor bastards we're talking about are generally driving for 2 and a half hours each way in miserable thick bumper-to-bumper traffic without even a chance to read a book.

                Most of the people I know who live in the Poconos or Lehigh Valley do take a bus, but often have to drive several miles in the dark to catch it.

                There was a New York Times piece a few years ago about people who commuted by train from the Central Valley to San Francisco, which takes something like three hours each way because of speed restrictions and required changes.

                  That's wonderful. I think my favourite bit is "patrotic".

                  I bet all their kids end up moving out of state and cutting them off.

                    I kind of admire them in a way. We're probably going to risk dinner in a very "variable" restaurant with outdoor seating on Halloween just to avoid the fucking wee shites begging for sweeties who are just this side of me getting a live wire out of the electricity box they sit on just by our living room window making tonnes of annoying as fuck chatter/inept bouncing of fitba/staring in at us with blank eyed witlessness. The fucking wee bastards, you're eleven, start drinking on the beach like the cool girls in your class or something. It's Balbriggan ffs.

                      I would go back home to get TP so my kids could TP their house for that.

                            Might just be me, but I don't think that dog shows any remorse.

                                  ha ha ha, that is just brilliant! The quiz host's face when the contestant first said "I know he likes donuts", and the penny dropped, was just priceless.

                                          Of course the proper answer is tinned rice pudding.

                                              Whenever people complain about modern TV, the absence of channels meant that Irish people were reduced to Mr Bean, and Tom Bosley's Fr Brown rip-off (the producers couldn't get the rights to Chesterton's stories, so invented their own priestly sleuth).

                                                There's a reason why everyone went to the pub, or watched the BBC/ ITV
