It's not the first time and the area they search is easily covered by gardai on foot. Trust me, it's a waste of money and resources and the kids aren't in danger. It's a small enough town in an urban area, no risky terrain. The last young 'wan was sat under a tree in the search area. That time there was the same nonsense, Search and Rescue helicopter, Gardai, Ambulance and an aqua unit from another part of Clare. She'd have been found in a fraction of the time by a K9 unit.:rolleyes:

As I said, I don't have any details, but who is to say that the kid didn't tell her parents she was going to jump off a cliff, or he was throw himself in a river.....time was most likely of the essence, and I would prefer to see the resources used to bring a person home alive than pull a body from a river Three days later. I appreciate it may be some kid who had a row with his or her boyfriend or girlfriend, but that's what the resources are for.

Sure what about when surfers are advised not to go out due to severe weather, they still go and then a helicopter has to go out and rescue them....also at great expense

There's so much mud in the Estuary that they wouldn't be able to walk out far enough to drown and we don't have any cliffs.:P Seriously though, after 24 hours of being missing time really wasn't of the essence. Generations of us have hung around there and not a single person drowned or even came close to it. I know it sounds as if I'm being heartless, but given that the area is safe and the extant of the emergency services involved, it was total overkill.

Or the mother who let her 6 year old climb up a 5 metre rock, then he couldn't climb down so the Coast Guard had to come out and get him down.:rolleyes:

So many things annoying me today I fear I will just implode. Or go and drink a bottle of vodka on the top of a mountain, because well...that always sorts everything doesn't it.


One of our cats is missing. TA that when I call the (very helpful) vets in the area, I can feel them judging me (probably rightly) too:


"Is she chipped?"
"No"
...pause....
"Is she collared?"
"No"
...pause....
...more pause....
"Ok"





Also TA that I ring the OH every fúcking day 2-3 times before I get an answer. Well, not calling any more. Let's see how long it will take for her to notice. She probably wont...


TA that we had a really big lunch with ONE glass of wine. Heating is on, I'm about to enter a carb coma....and I've had ONE glass of wine


Spent what seemed like an eternity travelling to work alone and lonely and with a stupid old fashioned phone with no games/internet/music. I would have loved to have some company during that time. Recently acquired a smartphone and so excited about listening to music and being online for the journey to and from work. However the arrival of the new phone coincided with a few co-workers realising we are on the same route so now... Three things TA me about this. The first is when you are travelling alone you can make a dive for a free seat anywhere. When you are in a group, this is considered to be rude. So, I end up having to stand the whole way which is fúcking maddening. Two is that its nice to leave behind the day when you finish, but when the conversation turns to work (as it invariably does), its like a lingering smell from the day following you home. And thirdly, I can't listen to my music! Sounds a bit anti-social I know but sometimes this is all the time I get to just sit and chill...and now it's been replaced by standing making office small talk.


And I still can't find my cat


And I hate my OH.

Needless, confusing change...

When you find yourself still on the phone to someone ten minutes after you've said, "so I've no news really"

On a day off, and listening to a chain saw all morning. Now that I've had a look, I figure it will be going for the day. It's in the estate next to ours, and the tree is huge!
Why do people plant trees like that in small gardens?! Oh well, at least I didn't stay in bed all morning <clutches at silver lining> :rolleyes:

And the chainsaw is still droning on...

My next door neighbours are very sociable and both come from families that bred like rabbits. They're dropping in in groups today and spending the afternoon in the back yard, it's like a redneck picnic and it will continue that way every day as long as there are sunny afternoons/evenings. Not so bad today, but when it happens on weeks where my husband is on nightshift it's a pain in the hole since he gets woken up.

A very old mate of mine was found in the cold mud of the Shannon Estuary a few years ago. Poor devil.

My notifications are back TA that I'm definitely going to have to stay wearing my glasses until I figure out where everything is , instead of squinting at the screen

So go forth and be social and have fun

Needing to do a couple of clicks every time I want to access forums that I could access in just one click in the past.

Argh. Not even about not knowing where to find stuff, but the several times more clicks is very ARGH. Silly.

Search bar still there thankfully, but that takes even longer... having to type the name of a forum every time... rather than the previous one click system... Just glad I have 'my threads' still for the ones I use regularly... think I might be just sticking to those from now on unless it improves... too much hassle otherwise tbh

That I hadn't kissed a boy for many months, and now I can feel a cold sore coming up on my lip. Probably not just a coincidence.
