Stupid car colors. Saw a brand new car earlier, lovely car but the colour could only be described as Nuclear Snot.

On the car subject, how cars makes are much less distinctive in their models. Ford v Toyota were much more distinctive say.

I know it has been done for safety and performance reasons, but still.

Sometimes such as vehicle IDs after a crime\incident, it may have less trivial consequences.

I hate the fact that loads of cars these days look like they've been designed by a 12-year-old to "look cool", all sharp edges and weird angles, like robots made of shards and of LEDs.

They're the same crowd who give out about a few cherry blossom petals blowing around for a couple of weeks of the year. Miseryguts, one and all.

I'm on the bus on my way into Lansdowne for the match. The traffic is chronic, we've gotten pretty much red light the entire way and the driver is stopping at every single stop, whether anyone is getting on/off or not. I may actually kill someone.

The fair weather Grand National gamblers who hold up the queue in the bookies with the most inane questions. Actually overheard one woman ask 'what does it mean to back win on a horse?'.

Move outta the way lady, and let me lose my money with a least a bit of knowledge of how it works.

A Garda drove past in the opposite direction earlier.

His head buried in his phone.

I was on my bike so got a perfect view.

If the enforcers are even at it, what hope is there?

You could be Max Verstappen but once you're in a Skoda on the secondary roads in this country (any road really) and put a phone/tablet/bowl of cereal in front of you all bets are off. Absolutely no excuse, at all.

Dem Skodas are lethal Joe.

ps totally agree with your general point, just thought the emphasis on Skoda a bit odd and have responded in AH style!

I’m binging a series called Captivated that I taped off tv.

My brain must be wired funny cos all I can hear in my head now is the gorgeous voice of Cerys Matthews as she sings the word in the opening of Catatonia’s Mulder and Scully!!!

When shops do this... you get the hang of where things are:

Speaking of supermarkets, Tesco home delivery service. You would think that filling the carts would be better done in the store room area where most things would be and probably easier to get to. But no, they have to have multiple large and small carts in every aisle blocking the way of shoppers moving down the aisles and getting near items. It's getting worse each week and on top of that they decide to restock the shelves at the same time.

Try looking at it from your phone, my notifications don't appear as read unless I've looked at them through the mobile version. I normally just tap over the bell icon, the list appears and that clears the notification number.

I guess I must be 10 times more TAed than you as I have 10 of them. I was away in the UK for a week and when I came back I had a couple of hundred unread posts. When I cleared them all down I was left with 10 phantom ones :-(

Make that 11 times more TAed :-( as of this morning another phantom unread post got added to the total.

People at car boot sales who buy something from you only to put it on their own table and flip it again with a mark up.

intercounty football referees at the minute. Pathetic shower of incompetents.
Watching Dublin vs Meath. Meath getting awarded soft free after soft free… Dublin player through on goal… 1 vs 1 with their keeper, practically gets rugby tacked to the ground from behind and no penalty, the absolute thick clown in black just waves play on.

Then a Dublin player gets blown up and booked for a genuine attempt to dispossess a player. Borderline free but nowhere near yellow…. Where are they getting this current bunch of idiots 🥶

Put a fire on so it would be nice and toasty in the sitting room this evening, went back to study & forgot all about it. Fire out. No more kindling sticks

If it's still warm you might rescue it by putting remaining embers on top of fuel and giving it some air. However quite labour intensive so I hear that TA

Do you know when people are discussing Breaking News memories and people are saying they were in all these exciting places when they heard the news break.

Then there's me. I was at home in the living room.

Good point, although the trivial annoyances of over-chlorinated tap water versus having to return bottled water rears its head!

1.27 am, I get a WhatsApp from an acquaintance, I reply about 3 minutes later, yet nothing back.

Why people message at the time of the AM with no intention of actually engaging. Surely it can wait

That Petrol Emotion's Every Beginning Has A Future (a 7 CD box set) was my favourite reissue of 2022.

Was playing at the weekend and dropped CD3 onto the wooden floor. Now scratched and a number of tracks skip.

Discs are not sold individually and a new set will be £68.

There used to be things on sale claiming to repair scratched CDs, are they still around? One type was a box that would shave the plastic down to remove the imperfections.

Would that be a possible solution?

Richard Wilson was 53 when One Foot in the Grave first came out. It's scary (and trivially annoying) to think that I'll be that age in two years.

Might work, will investigate thanks.

Normally a disc hitting the floor will be ok. However this one hit the edge of a steel record case on the way down so that did the damage. I have emailed the label asking would they sell me a replacement disc rather than forking out for the whole thing again. Unfortunately none of the albums got separate / standalone reissues in 2022.

Will it copy? I've had discs that won't play on a CD player but would on a computer so I copied them to the HD and then burnt a new CD.
