Minutes ago I just posted yet another post in the Feedback forum on this very topic. I love this site for de-stressing and for a bit of fun, but these tech issues are making it a serious pain in the ass. Spare a thought to for the unpaid Mods, only God knows how they can do their jobs properly having to deal with the bullshít.

I lost count of how many times I tired to log back in yesterday evening without success. On most occasions the Boards.ie page wouldn't even load. And using different devices & browsers didn't make a damn difference. But when I did briefly manage to log in late last night, guess what? I couldn't see the post button, the quote button or the thanks button, hey but at least I could see the 'log out' button and that's the only function that was available to me.:(:mad:

We couldnt even post about how TAd we were with last night:D
My laptop was very near getting flung out the window but everything seems better now ..fingers crossed.

When someone does things in a game that I know are "wrong" and a bad way to play, yet they beat me anyway.

Tell me about it , last night I briefly contemplated launching my desktop through the window Garryowen style. But then I didn't fancy a trip to Orthopaedics.

I've been having a big clear out this week, and dropped several bags of clothes and toys, old buggies etc. down to charity. Some of these are toys that have been hanging around at least 15yrs. Having another run at it today, and have come across cot sheets, blankets and a half dozen cute little baby sleeping bags. All ruthlessly bundled into a black sack, and now I'm not so sure:( Logically, I won't need them again, and I doubt/hope I won't be a nanny any time soon! I could put them up with all the other crap in the attic. Why is it so damn hard to decide whether or not to give away some stuff, even when it's clearly no longer needed and taking up space ? I can almost feel the menopause coming on with it all

Everytime I do a big clear out I get the same feeling about certain items, the annoying thing is they go back into storage for years again. Now my husband just takes the bags as I pack them and takes them straight to the Charity Shop. I get a sick feeling about giving some of the baby things away but when they are gone the feeling only lasts a while. So I understand how you feel.

I did a mud run earlier and it's very trivial but people complaining about getting dirty. Fffs that's why I went to it, to enjoy the dirt.

It was handing over the baby bath that really got to me! Even though it hadn't been used in well over 2 yrs, it was still in the bathroom gathering dust .

Well I gave away a lot of baby stuff to a family member and had to get it back about 12mths later.;) Read your post again and see where youve jinked yourself:D
When I do a clear I usually have the hallway full of black bags but then I go through them again and start taking stuff out or I get rid of them and want something thats been dumped within a few days..its a very traumatic experience trying to do a clear out tbh:(:pac:

I am a complete tyrant when it comes to clearing crap out. But the Mrs and son are hoarders so battles happen. And if I secretly get rid of something it always gets noticed. Mabe not today, maybe no tomorrow, but someday.

Oh Jesus, I see it now

I'm TA that I don't seem to have the option of all the cool emoticons . I can only get a happy /sad face by using brackets etc

My mum had a cold which I have managed to catch. I wouldn't mind but yesterday I was saying how I was the only teacher in my school who hasn't been sick this year. Typical! I jinxed myself.

Being the responsible parent all the time.

A house alarm has been going off for about 2 days now. It isn't too loud to cause a problem with sleeping but it's loud enough for me to think I have tinnitus and give me a headache.

Turning on the Sunday morning radio to listen to the news of the week to have them all talking about rugby! One programme is even shortened because of the rugby, yet spent the first 15 minutes talking about it!!

My four year old is like that today. I was hoping he would grow out of it in a year or so? I dont want to be getting cheek and back chat for the next decade!

I hate to be the one to break it to you but it gets worse as they get older..thankless pups:D

When you are approaching a T junction and the car at the front is going right but has positioned their car in such a way that any other car that wants to go left can't. You can then have several cars that all want to turn left but can't because of the car at the front.

People who put up selfies on Instagram and then reply to EVERY ensuing compliment with "Thanks chicken, coming from you though xx" or something to that effect. At least try to make it sound genuine!

The term 'happy out'.

My 24 year old still gives her mother and me cheek so best make that 2 decades.

Not even the sight of Colin Firth in leather trousers is making me feel better today. Stupid cold.

Yes. Rugby is stupid, and dangerous too. Why would everyone automatically be interested in it? And how many of those people have ever even kicked a rugby ball or ever cared about it at all? There are like 12 nations in the world that seriously play rugby, so it's hardly much of a stretch for Ireland to reach the quarter finals now and then.

They're trying to copy the soccer world cup or something, which is completely different because it's not a minority sport, it's watched the world over, and it has some newsworthy significance at times over the fact of the sport itself. Even then this would be over the top coverage. I couldn't give the slightest crap about rugby, I hope Ireland lose 60-0 and I'm tired of people thinking I would.

Rugby it stupid. It's not a game we grew up playing or watching like soccer is, it's a minority, niche sport that has always appealed to only a fraction of people. The only reason people are cheering is because it's Ireland.

My husband calls my kindle my story book. I don't know why, but it irritates the shiit out of me.

The buggy problems with Boards.ie are really testing me now, four times offline today.

I usually love this time of year when all the leaves fall off the trees. But what I hate is people not picking up their dogs **** and then it gets mixed in with the leaves giving you a nasty surprise on your shoe.

This, but with Connor Mc Gregor and MMA.

No one gave a **** until his last match or two but he is Irish and winning so here comes the mob of supporters who have never watched MMA in their lives before!

The fact that he got exposed in his last fight and will probably lose his next as a result of this is lost on them, as is the fact that he is an utter dickhead that most MMA fans hate.

There have been many guys like him before. One dimensional fighters at the right time in a weak division.

But hey, he's Irish so let's pile on with the blind support and positivity.

My phone keeps randomly disconnecting itself from the WiFi at home, so that I am using my data without realising half the time. That, and my screen rotation is driving me nuts. I find it handy so keep it turned on, but most of the time it's so slow to respond on turning the phone

Really? Well thanks for that nightmarish image and I've suddenly just lost my appetite.:(
