The lotto syndicate moocher

A gang of 5 of us used to work together but these days were are in different companies and indeed some of us emigrated.

We don't enter the Euromillions every week, only when it goes over 100 million so that is 4-5 times per year

My TA is the moocher. 4 out of 5 take turns and buy tickets and WhatsApp a photo record. 1 just sits back and might make an odd joke or comment but never ever buys ticket.

Even when you push them and call them out they promise and "forget". If we won they wouldn't be shy about coming forward!!

Actually I am TA´d with myself as I am the fool who puts up with this. More fool me

When people give you no notice.. and just assume things will suit you! I’ll go out of my way to make sure it doesn’t.

I forgot to button up the quilt cover before putting it in for a wash, so everything piled in. I had to practically climb in to retrieve the pillow cases.

Newsfeeds about 'The Chase'

Always popping up in newsfeeds almost daily. Show appears to be a hotbed of news/gossip/controversy. Damn cookie monitored newsfeeds. Just lately it appears that Jenny Ryan's name isn't really Jenny Ryan; the same Jenny Ryan must've said summit 'controversial' recently , as apparently the latest addition to the show Darragh Ennis 'went to bat' for her, so to speak; and what I didn't think was news - Labbett and his missus appear to have split up. I thought they already had.

And thanks to fuppin cookies I can find out no more, beyond the headlines.

Normally, this is the kind of cr*p I could live to be a hundred without knowing. And, why does my phone think I've got a Chase related obsession

Inconsistent face mask rules in restaurants.
Met friends for lunch yesterday, got to the restaurant, girl at the door brought me to my table, no mention of face masks, not signage up (I wasn't wearing my face mask because most restaurants don't expect you to wear one). Had food, got up to go to the toilet, another member of staff stopped me, scolding me like a child about not wearing a face covering when I'm not at the table. Fine, I go back to the table to put it on. Why did I not need to wear one when I entered the place and went to my table but have to wear one when I walk to the toilet??? Make up your effing mind

On a different note, we split the bill and when I went to pay mine it was under 20 euro. Staff told me they don't accept card payments under 20. Really??? In this day and age when you're advised to not use cash? My friend paid for me thankfully as I do not really have cash on me anymore unless I need it for parking.

Still annoyed thinking about it.

Will they ever sort out the gremlins?

I read online the owner saying that Boards.ie has been infiltrated by the Chinese Communist Party and is now completely under their control.
That might explain the gremlins. :rolleyes:

Had some of the boys over yesterday, having overstayed their welcome they decided to order food online. It was sooo painful listening to them trying to decide on a delivery service(alt I had a discount code of one) and then the hours of discussion on what they would order , ta

I finally got fedup and went online, it took so long for them to order and changed their minds so often that I forgot what I wanted and ordered something I had eaten yesterday and didnt really want then either. ta

Annual motorcycle insurance rant time.

There's always companies entering and exiting the motorcycle insurance market in Ireland, but from what I could see, at the moment there's only three companies offering insurance, with a handful of others acting as brokers. Of these handful of companies, guess how many offer the facility of getting a quote online? One! One company allows you to get a quote online, the rest want you to phone them like a caveman. Instead of typing in your own details, they want to pay on employee to take at least twice as long to do it for you. Once you actually get through that is - most of them are working from home at the moment and those 'high volume of calls' messages seem to be constant.

To hell with that. I renewed with my old insurer again. The only company offering online renewals and online quotes. The renewal quote was €30 lower than a new quote, and I've so much no claims bonus at this stage I'd be lucky to save a tenner by spending half a day ringing around.

I'm amazed that the insurance companies don't offer more services online - it's 2020 ffs. One of the companies involved is a major one, and I can do everything online with car insurance, but not with motorcycle insurance. It's probably not without issues, but if you've already got a quote engine for car insurance, how hard can it be to make one for motorcycle insurance?

I'm guessing there's two reasons they don't have them. The first is that they want their sales people to 'sell' you a policy. I'm aware that the different companies offer different levels of cover for european driving, leathers, legal cover, etc., but most of that isn't really important to me, and I'm not going to be jedi-mind tricked into a policy over the phone. I once had an agent try to sell me a policy by stressing how much legal cover they offer. If I have a major accident I'll probably be dead, not worrying about a day in court...

I'm guessing the major reason is they can't be arsed! That they make so much money from car insurance that they can't be bothered to get involved in the relatively small (though growing) motorcycle insurance market. They're making money hand over fist already and don't need the extra hassle to make their bonuses.
