    It's a bit poo when you put some space cadets on your ignore list but they still appear on the app version. Unless someone can enlighten me how to do it on the app. Couldn't see the option myself.

    Barry Cowan and his constant use of "I had a provisional licence" and it was 4 years ago........Well Mr i know everything T.D, the new Learner permit came into being in Sept 2007 and you needed a fully licenced driver with you from June 2008, so all them trips to the Dáil from Offaly unaccompanied, were invalidating the car insurance , but was more than likely claiming mileage for it too, and if as he has said now rectified the problem, I've never seen his car with a P plate.

    Ok, I have genuinely tried my best to be patient throughout this entire sh*t show, but oh my god, what is it with Lidl and people's complete and utter inability to observe the GIANT FCUKING YELLOW SPOTS ON THE GROUND that literally show you where to stand in the checkout queue???

    Between the people who wait until the person in front is practically at home and unpacking before they move the fcuk up and the people who insist on accompanying their shopping along the conveyor until they're practically bypassing you, I have serious fcuking worries about the Irish public's comprehension skills.

    JUST FCUKING STAND WHERE YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO TIL THE NEXT BIG ROUNDY THING ON THE GROUND IS VACATED, FFS.

    Quality rant. That was a good one. :D

    Mount Rushmore. I never paid much attention to it before and I'm thousands of miles away from it but what an ugly piece of vandalism.

    Couldn't sleep until just before 3am, annoying in itself, maybe 40 minutes sleep gained when the cat gets a hairball and starts throwing up. Think I had this same problem on here a few weeks ago... Now she is sitting on me and purring, following my dash around the house searching for the offending pile(s) which are inevitably, on carpets and soft furnishings.
    Also. Why is it called a hairball; it's more of a hair sausage.

    ^^ A cat throwing up. A sight, and sound, that make me sick.

    TA I cant bold text on the phone but just had to say the bit about waiting til the person in front is at home has literally made my day, hilarious :D

    My TA is we are thinking of getting a nanny when I go back to work and every single person I've mentioned it to has said the same thing... To make sure she is old and unattractive (OH will be working from home indefinitely). Even my Dad, whose wisdom I would always go by, said "make sure you get a fat one with a hairy lip". Am I really naive to trust my OH? Dad was all "oh a man is a man, doesn't matter how much you trust him". :confused::(

    Being forced to use sanitiser dispenser going into a shop. If everyone is touching the dispenser part (which you have to in order to get the sanitiser) then it's effectively just a hot spot for actually spreading the virus. We can't assume people are dispensing enough sanitiser and using it properly for it to be really efficient so it's basically just giving you Covid-19 :p

    TA morons sneaking into unofficial mass under cover and also TA masses being allowed again was actually on the news yesterday. Who cares?? As for their quota of fifty in a congregation, they'd be lucky to have had that before the pandemic unless it was a wedding, a funeral or Christmas eve.

    You do realise that straight after you touch the pump you disinfect your hands, don't you? I'd rather people partially sanitised their hands than not at all, I don't know where they've been...

    I can't get an engineer out to install the internet in my new place until the 21st of July. Bastards. Don't they know I have porn to be looking at? :p

    My TA is how dismissive some people can be regarding something that's really important to others. For a lot of people mass is a social outing, their worlds might be quite small so it's really important to them. Then of course they have their faith and the desire to practise that.

    I think keeping out of mass so long has been ridiculous. There's plenty of big churches where distancing could have easily been practiced. I'm not religious myself but there's a lot of people where their faith and going to mass could have helped them a lot mentally during the covid crisis.

    Just ask one of your new neighbours if you could use their wifi for a few weeks. May be for a little fee? Your laptop will tell you if their signal is ok in your new home.;)

    Or, if you have a UK sim card in your phone, top it up with a data plan for a month and use it as a router for your laptop.

    If you have money to spare a 4 or 5G mobile Mifi Router with a prepaid UK data sim card will help you over the waiting time. Later on you can use it as a wifi enhancer all around your place. Of course you can connect your phone with it as well. Just an example:

    I use an old 3G one at home which is connected to the wifi of my neighbour two floors above me. My computer, the iPad and my phone are connected to it. Works a treat. :D

    Persepoly, you have been warned previously not to TA others TAs.

    Take a week off from this thread to consider this please.

    The GoMo ad on TV. There's something it that makes me think it's an advertising suit's view of young people.


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,073 ✭✭✭Rubberlegs


    I have two hanging baskets this year, I don't usually bother as I am death to plants. One basket is blooming but the other is miserable despite getting the same care and in a similar position. I don't know whether I should be annoyed by the miserable basket or pleased as it has proved me right.

    Maybe the one that's dying fell victim to the larvae of some bug or other and it's not actually your fault.

    Guilty!

    Where I grew up, only "posh people" (or those who thought they were posh) didn't pronounce the L. Same with "Scon" instead of "Scone" :mad:

    Lack of basic hygiene with some people.

    Colleague A: Mustang please review this and confirm if all ok.

    Mustang: sorry Colleague A, that is not something I can help with but is Colleague B's job.

    Colleague A: I don't understand, I don't have background in X, and don't understand Colleague B's role in all of this, therefore you confirm.

    Mustang (losing patience): as stated in earlier email, this is not part of my role. Colleague B is the only one that can answer your question.

    Whenever my mam has a painter or handyman over to do a bit of work, it always seems to coincide with my day off. It's uncanny.

    Which has me subconsciously thinking that A) this lad thinks I'm lazy and B) he also thinks I am unemployed.
