Done Deal

When I buy you a gift, it’s forever,

I expect you to keep it for life;

when I ask you to join me in marriage,

I assume you will stay my wife;

when I make you my friend and companion,

I presume you will be here to stay;

why does it feel like sometimes,

I’m the only one feeling this way?

Akoustos Animalia

This creature lives in a secluded forrest named after its witchy past, the Black Hills. This creature is named the Aloustos Animalia or the Doneder, but best known as the Doppelgänger of the Forrest. It’s large body can be morphed and shaped into woodland animals. Varieties from mice to even bears.

Here’s its story.

It originated from an folktale but from the childrens perspective it was real. One day, a kid found bones of most to all woodland animals. Birds, wolves, foxes, deer, etc. He put them together the best he could, tying them together with straw to make a doll. Soon the boy got older, leaving the old toy along with his parents disowning him for it. years later- a witch stumbles upon the doll, thinking and treating it as some god. Soon it had grown nerves, muscles, and fur. The witch saw it crawl out of its shed, it’s bones cracking in everywhich way, forming a squirrel, bird, or wolf. The witch watched it slowly turn its head around, bright yellow eyes staring in his direction. His god had came to life.

now that is only part of the entire origin. It’s abilities can be calling of different animals but not below its stance of a yell or scream from a human.

it could duplicate to another animal bylike getting its blood into the victims system which could cause that animal to start appearing abnormally.

The witch died to the monstrosity, the creature soaking up its blood. using the new ability, the creature made the screams or cries of a child, drawing in new prey.

The Rise of the Online Marketplace in Ireland: A Digital Revolution

Exploring the Growth, Benefits, and Challenges of E-Commerce Platforms in the Emerald Isle

The digital revolution has firmly taken root in Ireland, transforming the way businesses and consumers engage in commerce. Online marketplaces have surged in popularity, becoming a cornerstone of the Irish economy. This article delves into the growth, benefits, and challenges of online marketplaces in Ireland, highlighting the key players and the future prospects of this dynamic sector.

The Growth of Online Marketplaces in Ireland

In recent years, Ireland has witnessed a significant uptick in the adoption of online marketplaces. The convenience of shopping from home, coupled with the increased availability of high-speed internet, has propelled this trend. Major global players like Amazon and eBay have established strong presences in the Irish market, offering a wide array of products to consumers. Additionally, local platforms such as Adverts.ie and DoneDeal have carved out their niches, providing tailored services that cater specifically to Irish shoppers.

The COVID-19 pandemic acted as a catalyst, accelerating the shift towards online shopping. Lockdown measures and social distancing requirements forced consumers to seek alternatives to brick-and-mortar stores. Businesses that previously operated solely offline had to pivot quickly, embracing e-commerce to stay afloat. This shift not only preserved many businesses but also introduced a new demographic to the convenience of online shopping.

Benefits of Online Marketplaces

The benefits of online marketplaces are manifold. For consumers, they offer unparalleled convenience, with the ability to shop 24/7 from the comfort of their homes. Price comparison tools and customer reviews empower buyers to make informed decisions, often leading to better deals and higher satisfaction levels.

For businesses, online marketplaces provide access to a broader customer base without the geographical limitations of a physical storefront. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) can leverage these platforms to compete on a level playing field with larger corporations. Additionally, the data analytics provided by these platforms offer valuable insights into consumer behavior, enabling businesses to tailor their offerings and marketing strategies effectively.

Challenges and Considerations

Despite their many advantages, online marketplaces are not without challenges. The competition is fierce, and standing out in a crowded digital landscape requires significant effort in terms of marketing and customer service. Logistics and supply chain management also present hurdles, particularly for smaller businesses that may lack the infrastructure to handle large volumes of orders efficiently.

Cybersecurity is another critical concern. The increase in online transactions has inevitably led to a rise in cyber threats. Businesses must invest in robust security measures to protect their customers' data and maintain trust.

Moreover, regulatory compliance can be complex. Online marketplaces must navigate a maze of regulations concerning consumer rights, data protection, and taxation, which can vary significantly between regions.

Key Players in the Irish Online Marketplace

Several key players dominate the Irish online marketplace scene. Global giants like Amazon and eBay offer extensive product ranges and fast delivery options, making them go-to platforms for many Irish consumers. Local platforms like Adverts.ie, DoneDeal, and Buy4Now provide more localized services, often focusing on second-hand goods, classified ads, and specific product categories.

Additionally, niche marketplaces such as Etsy have gained popularity among Irish consumers looking for unique, handmade items. These platforms support small, independent sellers, fostering a diverse and vibrant online retail ecosystem.

The Future of Online Marketplaces in Ireland

The future of online marketplaces in Ireland looks promising. As technology continues to advance, we can expect further innovations in areas such as artificial intelligence, augmented reality, and blockchain, which will enhance the online shopping experience. For instance, AI-driven recommendations and personalized shopping experiences could become more sophisticated, while AR technology could allow consumers to "try before they buy" in a virtual environment.

Sustainability is also likely to become a more significant focus. As consumers grow increasingly conscious of their environmental impact, online marketplaces may see a rise in demand for eco-friendly products and sustainable business practices.

In conclusion, the rise of online marketplaces in Ireland represents a significant shift in the retail landscape. While challenges remain, the benefits and opportunities offered by these platforms are substantial. As businesses and consumers alike continue to embrace digital commerce, the online marketplace is set to play an increasingly vital role in Ireland's economic future.

Motorcycle Mischief

The road out of the town, is verdant and lush, narrow and twisty so its a good test of your alertness before eight in the morning. There’s always a car coming against you, normally on a bend, but you crest the hill and the valley opens up giving a view of the main road, and a bowl of moody grey roiling clouds, bisceted neatly by a set of power lines. I roll down to the crossroads gently, avoiding a few patches of gravel; more dangerous than juggling chainsaws drunk before coming to rest at the intersection, a quick shoulder check, throttle up, clutch out, releasing the footbreak and we’re away on open road with nothing but the soundtrack of RPM’s, wind and a feeling of pure freedom.

So I went looking and stumbled accross Royal Enfields, and in particular the interceptor, and I just fell in love with the style, and look of them. I’ll be honest, I did very little hard research on the brand, on the reliability, on maintainability or where they’re manufactured [this is called foreshadowing kids]. No I went straight to adverts.ie and donedeal desperately looking for one of these bad boys on sale.

Now prior to this, I had picked up The Official Driver Theory Test Questions and Answers, now this was partly because I needed a goal outside of job hunting to keep myself from going insane while unemployed. I also booked a theory test for the motorbike, because if I don’t have a deadline, I will never do the thing. After a few weeks of going over the book, I discovered there is an app that you can practice with, so obviously I bought that too.

I took the theory test down in Tullamore on a grey squib of a Saturday, and I was bricking it. However, having passed on before (a loooong time ago) I figure’d I’d be ok. They take security really serious in the test center. Firstly you sign in, and you have to lock everything you have with you in a locker, not even a spare hair tie was allowed in, or my smart watch. Once signed in you go to an airlock like room, where a second staff member has you face a camera and they pat you down and take your licence. Then you’re permitted into the test room. Now other people are already in there testing, so you quietly sit and the touch screen boots up, taking you through a tutorial and then the test itself. I have to say the app is a perfect replica of the screens and questions and layout, I really would recommend it. In and out in about 20 minutes, I felt a little guilty as I started after several folks and finished before them too. But I figured I had it easy as I had done one before. We should talk about costs, but I will cover them later. The screen tells you your score and you know if you’ve passed or failed, they also inform you that your results will be emailed to you.

However, you’d be sadly mistaken. Which is how your narrator was sitting in a carpark in Tullamore furiously trying to gain access to test results which should have been fully automated. I ended up sending about four complaint emails. Eventually on Monday someone got back to me, they had adjusted my login details manually so I could retrieve my results. I then applied for the learner permit as the next step in the process. It was never clear to me if you needed a new driver number, if you could use your old one, or if you needed to replace your full car licence. It turns out that you get a new card, with the same driver number that is a learner permit but just for the motorbike stuff and is missing your car licences. Simple.

Next step, the IBT -Initial Basic Training this is a mandatory course you must take and pass for the class of bike you want to ride, quick aside, there’s four classes in ireland AM, A1, A2 and A the definitions are a mess. Simply, A is all motorbikes, A2 is anything up to a certain CC, weight, power to weight ratio and overall power, also slightly age limited. I was eligible to go straight to an A class licence.

I was informed it was the largest IBT space available in Dublin. At first it seemed like load of space, but as I soon learned it was really not that large at all. The course is intense, and takes you from being a complete rookie up to being out on the road on a motorbike in real life traffic without a safety net. The instructors were super thorough and focused on getting you comfortable, and drilling the skills needed to keep you alive on a bike. Martin and Tony were great craic and really good teachers, also willing to stay late, and let you go at your own pace, to ensure you can do everything with confidence. Sadly I was only qualified on an A2 bike, instead of the A that I wanted, but to be honest, while bike shopping I couldn’t find an A class bike that I liked that I could afford.

Back to Chromie, did the usual, contacted on adverts, brought my knowledgable biker friend to have a look, seller was a super nice dude, very friendly and chatty, knew a lot about bikes in general. I took her out for a short spin, now for context, I learned on a 450cc bike basically the weekend before, and now I was getting on a much heavier 650cc bike, in a housing estate. I was quite nervous, but I took her out around a few corners, tested the breaks and handling, she felt great. The suspension was as soft as a particularly old sofa your grandparents might have had. I thought it was a feature of these type of bikes (I was wrong). My mate had a similar go and we agreed she felt solid, an no obvious flaw in her.

The sellar didn’t put any pressure on me to buy, he liked the bike so much he didn’t really want to let it go but he was selling it on behalf of the owner. I decided to pull the trigger, I paid a deposit, and we agreed I’d sort insurance and he would bring it to my office and I’d pay him on delivery.

Getting insurance was difficult, time consuming and incredibly expensive, we don’t need to spend time on that.

Then a week later I brought her over to my dad to show off, he was suitably impressed and in love with it. Now unfortunately, while rolling down the drive way, i tipped over and dropped the bike and spilled myself on the road like the absolute rookie I am. This is where the problems start….possibly.

I buzz on home, no problems, the route is through a load of small towns and back roads untill I eventually get onto an N road headed out home. I am blasting along at around 100 kph when, the bike dies, I loose all mechanical power, the dash is lit up and I am freaking out. I pull into a ditch, dismount and turn on the hazards.

I can’t get her to restart.

Fuck

I have a protein bar

calm down

I call the insurance and get a tow truck to come out and get her. And I spend a lovely bank holiday Sunday evening in a ditch waiting for a tow truck. A super nice dude eventually arrives about an hour later and we load her up onto his truck. He very kindly gives me a lift home, and his contact information to let them know what garage to bring it to. As if I have a garage lined up.

As side note, the next day I blew out a tire on the car, but thats a tale for another time. Chromie goes on a little trip over to the recommended mechanic on Tuesday after the bank holiday. The guys work on her all day Wednesday and a chunk of Thursday and eventually they call me to collect her. She cut out twice on them while they were trying to chase down the problem but they never managed to isolate it, and they only charge me for a basic service as a result. They also inform me that my super soft suspension, means the suspension is fucked and needs to be replaced.

Delighted

As I am about to pull away the mechanic runs over and offers me a glimmer of hope. “Try flipping the shocks upside down, you literally cannot make them any worse than they are now”.

When a mechanic makes something sound easy, remember dear reader, they’re a professional and not a moron, like your author here. I convince myself on the way home, sure I can flip the suspension over tonight no big deal. I’ve no car at the minute at home and only this sketchy motorbike to get to work. Surely I wouldn’t risk breaking my only mode of transport without backup. Keeping in mind one of the reasons for getting the bike was to have a back up to the car.

After about 5 hours of effing and blinding, I got the shocks flipped. As usual the bulk of the job was in getting the first one sorted, and about 30 minutes for the second one. Oh I also dropped the bike again, and nearly had a hernia picking it back up.

But were back in the saddle and the ride is so much better with the flipped shocks. Turns out Hagon shocks have the stickers on upside down, that and the previous owner might have been a fuckin dope.

In betwixt all this I had joined a local group on reddit (shoutout to yis animals if ye ever read this, love you all) and arranged to go for a spin, so that Sunday I mounted up and headed off to Kilcock. We had a fuckin steller time riding around for about an hour, when Chromie up and fucking died again on me. At least this time I knew to let her rest a few minutes and then restart her. I somehow managed to catch up to the group and had another 5 successful hours riding around and talking shite about bikes over lunch.

Fast forward a few days, I’m on the way home from work, going around a bend and I loose all power again, except this time, add a little spice. I’m banked over, and the back of the bike starts to fishtail. I’m convinced this is how I fucking die.

I make it upright, pull over on the side of the road, finish having a coronary and decide, I am fucking benching the bike until I can get it fixed. I limp her home, very slowly, very carefully and hang up my riding boots….

Not.

I jump online and do a deep dive, stumbling accross www.royalenfieldowners.com specifically on a thread going back to 2022 about Interceptor 650’s having this problem, and a whole host of people complaining about how fucking dangerous it is. However the consensus was that, it was an over application of waterproofing grease in the relays which was causing poor conductivity between the relay and its holder. Also potentially its the relay themselves, or it could be the kill switch wiring, or it could maybe be the safety cut out on the kick stand vibrating too much at high speeds. You get the idea.

I made a list of most likely to least likely problems and decided to talk to a professional.

la fotografía se ha trivializado tanto en tiempos de tiktoks e intagram, los colores son tan saturados y cualquier foto en B&N ya es artistica y todos los vidoes son cine de arte o disrupcion, pero como uno es clasico y vintage , recurre a la escritura, retomando que cada parrafo es poesía , aunqeu ni sentido.

Sali en mi bicla y es bien recurrente que me recuerden a personas los lugares donde transito, bien dificil no her un recuerdo, de la calle donde caminamos , el deportivo donde no meanime a besarte, el juego de metal dodne te vi por primera vez, la casa donde nosnrefugiamos de la lluvia, la avenida donde nos llovio y nos mojamos muchisismo una tarde de verano . los pastos donde nos recostamos a platicar sin prisa, sin mas que hacer mas que mrarnos darnos beoss, esa calle donde esta el cafe de nuestra primera cita , nuestro primer beso, despues muchos besos en cada lugar donede nos sentbamos, y hoya paso por ahi en la bici, recordandote , auqneu ya no te vea, no se de ti , pero cada que paso por ahi recuerdo tus ojos mirandome, doblar la calle en ese bar donde salimos medio pedos...

es bonito de pronto acordarme de eso , a veces pienso que es enfermizo, al final me gusta haber expermientado tod eso
