TA at Hannah Way(Ware) in the Hyundai jeep ad...no idea what the relevance of her or her spiel has to an SUV...

Menas

That match on tv tonight is a load of trivially annoying fluff.

NIMAN

Constant sniping of Irish people about Ireland as a country.

You'd almost think every other country in the world had no bad weather, no poor health service, no corrupt politicians, no robbing banks, no poor roads etc....its only Ireland thats sh1te.

I love this thread, it makes me laugh so much!!! (sorry Peregrine back on topic now).

I have a spot the size of Mount Everest on my cheek and it won't go away. It's been there for 3 days already. It's all I can see. Damn my skin!!!

Well, I've been discharged from hospital, but while I had many, many TAs while there, but I'm gonna disappoint you all, and refrain from posting them all, as need to move on from hospital stuff

Ah, I can't resist one:

TA that I could only charge my phone in the nurses office, so had to be very careful with my phone battery. Being on a psychiatric ward for a couple of weeks I could have kept you all very entertained with trivial annoyances :P

TA that I can't edit or upgrade the postage method of a Messi DVD in Amazon (The nephew's hero is Lionel Messi), I picked standard and it says delivery date is the 6th January and the wee fellahs birthday is on 13th December. All I can do is cancel and pick the priority postage, its just a pain having to do it all over again.

You're on the Dart - window seat - with the other 3 seats unoccupied.

Someone else comes along...grand....and sits DIRECTLY OPPOSITE YOU.

Not one over but directly opposite, hoovering up leg room.

I'm not sure that belongs in this thread though cos it's not trivial.

I've never heard of putting sugar in scrambled eggs!

It might have been a way to sweeten tomatoes that were a bit sour, but I don't think they'd have needed more than a tiny pinch.

I stashed a bit of money (not much, just €100) in my dressing table to pick up other half's present this week.

(Before I go on, I should say that our money is jointly used by both of us. We don't have separate accounts and separate monies; we just spend whatever we have)

Our phone bill came this morning and we were rowing about it. He says "I'll pay it will I?"
I said "Well yeah you said yourself you had €80 going spare so you may as well."
He said "Why don't you give me the money you have and I'll pay it?"
I said "What do you mean? I don't have any money."
He says "I know, I was only messing."

But now it's making me think he saw the money on the dressing table.
I've only got it shoved in a little paper box thing so if he was looking for something I suppose he could have easily found it, but Jesus Christ why am I no good at hiding things?

He said he was only messing but I know he saw the money and he's probably wondering why I'm stashing it.

There are so many weather related things that annoy me.

First, the way Irish people still use the weather as a conversational crutch. Seriously, if you've nothing better to say than "grand day" or "looks like rain" (or worse, "its raining" when we all fúcking know it's raining) then just keep quiet. At least then you'll look mildly interesting and perhaps dark and intriguing, rather than launching into some kind of panicked commentary on the weather because you so desperately want to fill the silence.

Secondly, the way Irish people complain so much about the Irish weather. It's Ireland! The weather is always cráp. You've lived here for five decades. Why does this still surprise you?

Thirdly, my own family's (and probably other's ) obsession with the forecast. Flicking around from one station to the next to see if there's a better one elsewhere. My Gran even watches a UTV one that specifically (and annoyingly) just snips the Republic of Ireland off the map. So it's completely useless to her anyway. She'll also listen to the farmer's forecast in case there's some nuanced weather detail in there that the main forecast missed.

They'll get it at 6 and then at 9 they'll flick over for it again. As if the weather will suddenly change from "generally shíte" to "brilliant" in the space of 3 hours.

Last night my Dad was in the kitchen and the weather came on in the other room. My mother shouted out, "the weather!" and he dropped everything, left the hot tap running and ran in to see it, as if it was some kind of breaking news.

Finally, I detest our weather forecasters and the language they use to describe it. Weather forecasting is a science and their terminology is so colloquial. And invariably, all they are really saying is "tomorrow will be warm but still shíte" or "the day after will be a bit colder but also kind of shíte".

Urgh weather

It has to be colloquial. Not everyone understands science terminology.

People just want to hear the degree of wind and rain they can expect.

Sunshine is just a euphemism for 'less rain'.

People don't want to see inside the black box. They just want to see what comes out of it.

If you explain the accuracy of forecasts in the context of chaos theory you'll usually see eyes glaze over

Asked my OH to collect something for me to save me going into town at weekend.
HE FORGOT!! And then said "I wouldnt mind only I had loads of time" :mad:

Clearly it doesn't matter what they are told. They don't believe it anyway, as evidenced by aforementioned obsession, flicking, re-watching etc.

This is primarily because of my slow internet connection but when a website page is loading it constantly jumps up about 4 inches as new content appears on screen. This is fine, I don't mind waiting the extra few seconds.

The TA is when it appears to be finished. I'm about to click on 'DVDs For Sale', the page loads and jumps up one final time and I end up pressing on a clickbait site entitled '27 Child Stars Who Grew Up Ugly'.

I don't know how to just quote a little chunk of someone's post, and that annoys me. ONW, I'm laughing here at your post about the weather, and your Dad running in to watch it !! I didn't want to annoy anyone by quoting the whole post . I'm a bit like that with the weather myself, looking for a better forecast. The OH always says "it will be what it will be " and I want to choke him! Feck that , I need some TV channel to blame for the weather !
