Meh, first time for the youngest elf to watch it and they were cracking up.

We also started to build our Lego winter village (santas post office) and Lego tree decorations (40746)

I'll take funny movie and Lego over election coverage any day of the week.

Being behind very slow people in a narrow passageway when you are impatient and in a hurry. I want to throttle them.

It goes: radio coverage from morning to afternoon, then sports from afternoon to evening, then tv election coverage from evening to night.

I used to see a list of posters names when hovering mouse pointer over the thanks button, now I can't, not even on my own posts. Booo!

That they ( whoever they are ‘ increased the number of TDs from 160 to 174 . There should be less , not more . Although is trivial as I’m technically a ex-Pat now

TA2, as a result, a TH I was considering posting about noticing a certain poster often thanking a post before I did,wondering if we had much in common otherwise. Poster X, I wonder if you know who you are!? Answers on a postcard…

It's got nothing to do with the European Union

This is my family(even the ones in Asia) every local and general election. It might seem odd from the outside but it's fascinating exercise in our house in prediction, mathematics and spite!

The ta of this is that it can be very drawn out and some of the transfers are scary.

I've a friend who does this. It's like she doesn't realise there's a Return key in WhatsApp and presses Send every time instead.

If I get a few WhatsApps in quick succession, I know it's her before I even read them.

We did a clear out during the week.

I decided to go to one of those BigBins at a petrol station to get rid of the rubbish.

On the first two occasions the bin didn't open.

I then had to email them to get new codes.

One the third occasion it did open and I got loads off stuff in.

When I got home I was at rhe car and couldn't remember disposing of a bag of papers/documents.

So, I went back at midnight.

I couldn't find the bag.

I'm fairly sure I did put it in the bin.

However I'm thinking will I get a littering fine or will some local Facebook hero try and out me.

Supervalu seem to have redone their website and thought a search function wasn't needed anymore

People with horrible yellow toenails having them on display in public.

Cover up your crubeens, nobody needs to see that.

Seasoned and Fresher GE candidates who have secured a seat are celebrated like post leaving cert students who have got a place on their chosen course in Trinity, UCD etc.

For the newbies I sure hope your honeymoon in the Dáil is short.

None of the major supermarkets seem to stock Bitter Lemon mixer anymore, not even name brand ones

Same with dry yeast. Two supermarkets used to do their cheap own brand version but they both vanished around the same time. The only one available is a brand name that almost doubled in price.

local family ran pharmacy. On their website you can order everything they stock, online for delivery, a modern website .

But they don’t have any info regarding ‘in store’ stock say like Boots do, where they tell you what’s available physically on the shelves and what’s only online. I’ve gone in before only to be told they hadn’t got my interdental brushes, when I questioned why the website said…’In Stock’….” Yeah to order online “. Well why can’t their website say that and differentiate as to what’s in store, and what’s online only or if you can acquire them both ways… im not a clairvoyant…i can’t look into tomorrow and see what’s on the shelf. !

Not in public I hope 😁

My bf is gone off overnight with his laptop bag…with my mouse in it. TA is me sitting here constantly putting my hand out for the phantom mouse

Another TA is that I have been online so long that I read BF as boyfriend, best friend or breast feeding long before I recognise it as Black Friday but lots of people using it in that context this past weekend.

I work and live in Belfast with people from both sides of the community. I'm starting to get the feeling that people from the Unionist community in my team are deliberately mis-pronouncing Irish words to annoy me.

It's Féile. Pronounced FAY-LA - not fail-yeah. Maybe it's a dialect thing - I realise Ulster Irish is pronounced different to Munster Irish - but it drives me mental. I've corrected them plenty of times.

Can you not just nip out and buy another one . . they're only around a tenner.

It's ok I borrowed one from his desk. Nipping out to the nearest place to buy one would take an hour out of my work day.

Done since the days of CJ Haughy

Over 35 years ago a certain UTV News presenter would say the Toaiseachs name as Charles Haugcy

'Charles Hockey' was the usual UK pronunciation of his name. Funnily enough, this morning on one of the English news reports, they reported on Fianna FAY-LA getting the most seats in the election. 😄
