My neighbour says constantly "Thanks be to f**k" - he must be 80. Great to hear.

I don't mind that one. It's the ones like 'I absolutely understand...' used to be completely or totally. It absolutely sounds wrong.

I think this is where it started to be used in that way more widely.

People leaving their cars unlocked.

There's been a recent spate of thefts from unlocked cars in Cork City. Similarly to how car insurance doesn't pay out if your car is stolen after leaving the keys in the ignition, IMO this shouldn't even be a crime. If you're dumb enough to leave your car unlocked, you've essentially left your stuff just lying around - why shouldn't someone help themselves? Taking up Garda resources because you can't be arsed to press a button and lock your car? If you can't do the smallest thing to look after your possessions why should the Gardai care?

And the dingbats who leave the engine running and the door open while they pop into a shop or someones house. Why?

I hated midges until I found out that you can't grow cocoa without them, so no midges = no chocolate. They are alright by me now.

You are bursting for the toilet, when you get there someone has recently been punishing the porcelain and the place stinks to high heaven :eek::(

The woman in Tesco today.
First, when I walked in she was blocking the newspaper stand reading a newspaper.
Then she seemed to be everywhere I went.
I went for a bag of lettuce,there she was picking up several bags and picking out the best one.
Then in the shampoo section she was picking up bottles, opening them and sniffing each one before picking the one she liked.

People like that are the reason nuclear foul smelling farts were invented.

I was in Tesco Today and this person followed me everywhere. Firstly they nearly sat on top of me when I was choosing a paper. Then got in my way near the lettuce and when I was picking out my shampoo they were almost on top of me.
I just couldn't shake them off. They also kept on throwing me dirty looks.

Well I posted in the trivial things that make me happy section that I fixed my 'T' key a few weeks back.

Turns out I didn't. Got superglue to try and put rubber cap back on key. After watching a few you tube videos. Turns out rubber piece in key is fecked.
For some reason like a complete thick I decided to try a glue a piece of rubber from a pencil on the contact point. Made a right shíte of it. Took it off I after glued it on. Left with pink bits on contact point that won't come off. Oh and I also could not get the switch part back on.

I figure I need a new keyboard now. R not going to well either now.
So I looked up a new keyboard price 35€ from china.

But Christ it looks like a difficult thing to do fiddley screws and all sorts.

Laptop about 4 years old - but I like it don't want to get rid of it.
So this is what I have resorted to:

I looked up the most common words in the English language.

https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Most_common_words_in_English

I got a notepad and made a list of the following:

'
TTTTTTTTT
ttttttttt
can't Can't
don't Don't
it It
not Not
out Out
the The
to To
that That
they They
there There
thier Their
think Think
that That
those Those
this This
with With'

You guess it for copying and pasting!

I dunno which annoying me more my awkwardness at fixing stuff, how easy fellas on you tube make it seem, or my own fecking stubborness!

Best not to “deploy” any of those in Austria, A. The cops over there take a dim view on the matter and will fine you, accordingly.

Use unicode. :cool:

Annoying, but cheaper than a new keyboard (and less annoying than the on-screen keyboard).
