Probably the same ones who ask "can I get" when ordering food or drinks. The ones who have endless "issues" but never problems. Who start every sentence with "so", "ping" or "flick on" emails but never send them and don't contact people but "touch base" or "check in" with. Eugh numpties.

“In this difficult time...” and any variations thereof - for the love of god can we get this phrase banned from all media and advertisements.
About ready to piss blood each time I hear it now, must’ve heard it about 10,000 times in the last month and I can’t take it any more.

Smug tools in authority, with no compassion past their own noses - had the misfortune of witnessing an old wans concerns treated quite heartlessly yesterday.

Uncle Ben's wholegrain rice in easy to cook sachets - serves 2 people. Yeah, 2 midgets or children maybe! Makes me feel bad every time. I'd eat one of those 'double' sachets in 2 bites let alone share one.
Same goes for pasta - use a ten cent size serving per person....eh surely you mean per mouthful... surely ðŸ§

You Tube videos that stretch material recorded in 4:3 into widescreen

People who watch 4:3 programmes on their television and adjust the settings so that the image fills the screen.

Embrace the black bars, people! It's the equivalent of putting ice cubes in red wine or heating pork pies.

Weirdos - today over in the park I can hear singing. I’m sat on the park bench wondering what I’ll cook for dinner, I look to my left and see approaching my direction a rather tall and normal ‘looking’ guy about 45 and he’s singing, loudly as if on the stage in the 3 arena, proper belting out tunes at the top of his lungs as he walks..

I initially think maybe he has noise cancelling earphones on and doesn’t realize the volume but as he approaches there are no earphones at all. I’m thinking ‘ok, face down in my phone, ignore, ignore, weirdo incoming, weirdo incoming..’. He gets as far as the bench im sitting on, stops about 8 feet away in front of me and is just fûcking staring at me, without saying anything. My face is in the phone, pretending I’m amused by something I’m looking at, determined not to engage or give satisfaction...after about 3 minutes he walks away roaring ‘fûcking wanker’ at the top of his lungs..... he gets to a young mother who is alone and playing with her children on the grass about 20 meters further up the path.. he’s about the same distance from her as he was me just staring them out of it... I’m not comfortable and watching I have the number for the local Gardai on my phone screen, he then says something inaudible to me, she looks flustered and takes herself and the kids immediately out of the park.

I decide to get going, taking the same exit which on seeing me heading towards it he trying to partially block. He looks like he can leave me in a mangled mess but I’m in a ****ty mood, past caring and a ‘come on, just ****in move’ sees him do just that.

If this belongs to you, please ensure he doesn’t get out and about alone. People have more then enough to be concerned about currently than being stalked and harassed in this manner by some gimp, whoever is responsible for him will be aware of his potential behavior.

Bemused of Dublin 11.

Technology and not knowing a thing about it or what to do or where to go or look or anything. :mad::(:( Where is the button that just magically transfers over everything from old Laptop to new Laptop? That's all I want. One button to get the job done. Would be so so handy.

"Ehhhh could you possibly make breakfast any louder? I don't think our neighbours down the street can hear you"
.....turn and see my baffled flatmate quietly stirring porridge.

TA that my flatmate is really nice and yet lately I want to murder him.

I've plenty of data allowance left, the signal is great, there's more than enough room left on the phone, yet I just can't update a game, the download hangs after a few kilobytes and dies. What gives?

In for a scan yesterday and couldn't get parking at Merrion Square. Literally every space taken. I doubt they were all essential workers or pregnant ladies!

Stopped at a checkpoint on the way home so was at least happy to see that the restrictions are being enforced but massive TA that there is clear disregard for them also.

Also, the reverse of this. Packs or jars of whatever that must be consumed within 24 hours of opening, yet have enough content to feed an army.

There's only me and my son living at home, but I'm a vegetarian and he would eat anything that moves by land, sea or sky. He's not going to eat 6 rashers in one sitting so half of them generally get thrown away after a couple of days.

I don't mean to stick my nose in, just a thought...could you freeze the surplus?


My TA is my wound up-ness. Not sure if it really is as noisy and stressful as it feels around here, or if it's just me.

Any and all advice is more than welcome Widdershins

Unfortunately, my freezer has been full to overflowing since this stupid virus appeared. I genuinely hate waste of any sort, particularly food - it's much more than a TA!

I Facebook-messaged One4all with my query. They wrote back with the Email Address to contact them. :rolleyes::rolleyes: Could they not have passed my query up along the chain from my Facebook Message like instead of just wasting more time replying back to me to email them the exact same thing again! :mad:

The funny thing is they actually aren't taking calls at the moment due to working remotely only emails, but like if they're not taking calls they could deal with Facebook messages too like.

Always the same people, they must just follow each other around the different threads starting rows about FG and SF etc.

Possibly, Princess. There's so much tomfoolery on the site these days with re-regs and users with multiple accounts that you never know who you are talking to

Well you are talking to a real live princess here

It's very frustrating, but best to ignore.
