that boards is on a mega go slow. A while back I spent about 5 minutes trying to make a post, in the end got the ‘bad gateway’ message and the page crashed although I had the foresight to save my post beforehand..

In the end it was 'pushed' to exactly it's normal time because someone who they thought was running late turned up on time. I work from home, everyone else was in office for the meeting. Eating a big box of donuts in front of me, the greedy fecks 🤣

It was a colleague's last day in work today and it was an emotionally charged morning. People who worked with him for far longer than I did holding back tears stepping in for photos etc.

I'm not good at goodbyes and tried to keep my composure during a little get together to mark the retirement, presentation, cake, speeches. Couldn't be seen as a baby in a male-dominated environment. So I sat in a spot away from prying eyes, breathing techniques to fight back the tears. Eventually cracked.

But just as we were all on our merry way to actually begin work, one of the louder colleagues asked me was I crying , right in front of everyone, and of course, when something like that is pointed out, its hard not to well up again.

The ridiculously high emotional standards men are held to in charged situations, ta that Castletown man has a soulless pos for a collegue.

Is Boards on a mega go slow Strumms? 🤭

The annoying sh*teblock on a motorbike tailgating me all the way for about 25km with his light on full beam, who decides that it's a great idea to continously move from the left to the right to the left to the right, so I was blinded from both sides randomly through my wing mirrors.

Sorry if I delayed your impatient journey home, but the eight cars in front of me driving slowly kind of prevented me going any quicker in order to suit you.

If it makes you feel any better Mr biker, it also took me two hours to get home in crappy Dublin traffic but I didn't decide to blind other drivers for no reason.

This has cheered me up every time I've thought about it today. I really hope Guy A had, like, egg salad or tuna sandwiches or something in his bag too.

That is so sweet, your colleague must have been a hell of a person to cause everyone to react like that. I'm sure it made them feel great

Got a new invisalign retainer thingy yesterday. All going great. Went to clean it this morning and didn't read the instructions right. I've only gone and melted the damn thing. I am so angry with myself right now.

This sounds petty but

You see an article about a teenager who makes furniture, metal work, clothes, cakes, etc.

You've loads of people commenting how there great and how others should be like them.

The article fails to mention mammy/daddy is a chef/carpenter and gives them access to industrial tools/kitchen.

I'm in a pretty comfortable dead-end job. I've my appraisal coming up and I just hate these things. My boss loves corporate crap but I've been here going on 8 years and it's a very routine gig. We've to come up with goals, challenges and this sort of guff and all I want to do is complete my tasks and go home. Is that too much to ask? Apparently so.

So this morning, same fella zoomed in on one of the photos taken, to show that I was 'emotional'. Had an hilarious hour laughing about it and making jokes. Seemed to really make his morning .

It was like water off a duck's back to me, but the longer it went on, I was interally like this:

One or two co-workers even thought it was tantamount to bullying, and the manager asked me was it getting to me at one stage too. It wasn't, really, it just got obnoxious towards the end.

Can't wait for a time he is caught off-guard to jeer him.

Italians seem to massively over value Italian food, and can't seem to fathom that it's just not that great. 'Oh, but you must try REAL Italian food!'

And then it's sodding pasta.

If you're lucky you might get some weird dry bread with a smear of chocolate on it for dessert.

I can't tell you how many places I've been, and the cuisines and meals I would rank ahead of anything Italian. They need to get over themselves....

Amazon search results!

If I search for Internet Radio thats what I want I DO NOT WANT 90% of the results to be Analogue radios or Dab radios because that wasn't what I searched for.

Small ta here, the end credits of ‘The Wonder Years’ used to have ‘Winnie’s Theme’ playing over them.

I think this was due to a music rights issue. This seems to have been resolved so now there’s an instrumental of ‘A Little Help From My Friends’ playing.

I miss ‘Winnie’s Theme’.
