    an email from a retailer at lunchtime apologising telling me my delivery will be delayed and won’t be here till Monday.

    Then at 7pm I get an SMS from their courier, saying they’ll arrive tomorrow on schedule….

    So, I dunno….. trivial but, annoying.

    I haven’t tried that one but I definitely will. I was trying Piriton but it didn’t have any effect. I’ve ordered a month’s supply of Apoquel from the vet for collection today.

    I still think of my phone as quite new but when I went to get a new cover for it the woman in the shop said sorry we don't stock covers for those old models anymore 😢

    Note to self, when I see a bit of a bargain in Lidl I should buy it and not go back 3 or 4 days later and expect it to be there 😀

    All I can really tell you is that it works well on me ;-) Another one easy to get over the counter if necessary is loratadine which I also take (6 months cetirizine 6 months loratadine). If one works then once you know the dose probably much cheaper to get the generics over the counter.

    Wake me up when it's all over.

    TA at all the tech and software in my car that's supposed to make my drive nicer and easier but only works half the time.

    Pennies from Dunnes self service machines.

    Every time.

    Pennies.

    After several years of being TAed with Dunnes self service machines - they will give you 9 pennies change for an item costing xx.01cent and don't round - I was pleasantly surprised to find that Tesco's self service machines do round and save you looking for the odd cent.

    Wake me up when it's all over.

    Wife watching the Today Show and I happened to see the cooking segment (sometimes follow the recipes). That Maura one is absolutely incredible at interrupting mid sentence.

    Asks the chef a question and would butt in with her own observation when they are two/three words into their answer. Every. Single. Time.

    Just let the professional explain the damn recipe!

    Hate interupting in any context, but that takes the biscuit.

    Bet she probably can't boil an egg herself.

    Marketing versus reality annoys me. I know it shouldn't as we're all well aware of it but still, that's the TA of it all.

    One of these chicken mayo burgers from Mcdonalds is what's advertised, the other is what's actually served. Goodness, you really can't tell them apart ..

    It's what looks like a smurfs arse print that really makes it for me.

    And the small hands holding the food in the advert to make the product look bigger. Amazon at the same carry on. What you get is far smaller than portrayed in the doctored pictures.

    Being greedy on Ebay and it backfired.

    Saw item I wanted. Buy it now €200. Was happy to pay €200.

    But starting bid was €20 so I bid that in the hope I'd get it cheaper.

    It ended up going for over €300 and I missed out.

    The wifes 08 civic is fecked. NCT says it requires welding along with an engineers report to say its roadworthy. Not gonna bother, I'll take out a loan and buy something else. It's a pity, its got a great engine and is still a lovely smooth car to drive . . apart from all the rusty bits.

    I don't know if it is the same here but I saw a video from the US showing the size of a Big Mac now. It was tiny! The man was saying 'I didn't order a Little Mac' 😂

    a friend of mine used to work in a photo studio/photo processing place and dealt with people who were the go-to in ireland on food photography; IIRC he said that often they'd paint raw food (e.g. steaks) to look cooked because it looked juicier and would last far longer in studio conditions.

    Without being too pedantic, the top one is a McChicken Sandwich from the regular menu, the bottom one is their eurosaver Mayo chicken burger that's 1/4 of the price.

    Either way it looks shite.

    Ye for all adverts they do this, don't use real ice, often plastic or glass, spray glasses with water to make them look cold. Use syringes to put on the sauces on burgers, all just tricks of the trade to make everything look as appealing as it can be.

    I dropped my stainless steel water bottle getting into the car yesterday. It rolled under the car and I was in a hurry so thought I'll just leave it in the driveway and collect it when I get back. TA that it rolled further than I thought and I drove over it 🙈

    It's definitely still water, now. If it was sparkling, it's now positively flat.

    Sorry for your loss, Miamee. 😋

    Wondering if I backed up my authenticator apps. The MS one allows you to back up to their cloud.

    Also wondering if I need the authenticator app to login to MSs cloud.

    Chicken and egg. 🙄

    Time to do a "what would happen if I lost my phone" dummy run to make sure I can access the stuff that matters or at least know what to do if I lose it/break it.

    🙄
