Sorry to say that would have no affect on me. I hoard anyway (but not to TV levels) and have worked a lot with sceptic tanks and foul drains, so the thought of SH1T doesn't bother me.

The supposedly environmentally aware younger generations just left a pile of takeaway rubbish behind them in a church ground that they often frequent.

I still wear stuff that I had in secondary school (last century). It fits, it's still fine, especially to wear at home. Like hell am I throwing that out, there's people that go out and buy vintage clothes - I still have the originals, including some dresses my mother wore in the 60s and 70s.

Small garden job - nettle stings, small sneaky little fcuker I didn't notice at first glance.

(There's a small clump embedded forever in a corner of the garden. Can't spray because of flowers, cut down but come back. Would one of those weed burner yokes kill them off?)

If that's not grounds for divorce, I don't know what is.

You'd be better off going at it with a pitch fork with large tines and try and dig up the whole clump.

Good pair of gloves or a plastic bag or something and pull the feckers.

I still wear stuff that I've had for over a decade too, and I absolutely hate clothes shopping so it's not like I'm chucking stuff that's been worn once or twice. But I just absolutely loathe clutter and the constant accumulation of "stuff", so I try and operate a "nothing comes in unless something has already gone out" policy to buying material goods in general.

Books are my kryptonite, though - I would have the whole house a library if I was let 🙈 Although I still don't keep anything I know I won't read again. If you were shìte, off to the charity shop/book swap with you.

I'd be like The Continental Op, I'm not squeamish in the least.

I don't think the point is whether you're actually afraid of a bit of scutter, in fairness gang 🤣 Every parent and pet owner in the world would be immune if that was the case.

again, people who use kitchens for socialising. A kitchen is a functional area of a home…. For food storage, food preparation, and eating in…. Nothing else. From about 6.15pm here it’s been occupied. Now 8.09pm. Might people be aware that you know I’d like to make my dinner and eat my dinner this side of midnight !? Started my lunch at 1.30 pm so that’s a long time ago since I’ve eaten. 🤌🏻

Just Stop Oil always wear those hi viz vests like it is a uniform. They sell them online too. The are polyester which is made from... I will give you three guesses. 🤭

I have my current car a year and I only noticed this morning that the middle rear seat belt is stowed in the roof, observant wha' 😁

(In my defence I don’t believe I carried anyone in the back,let alone 3)

This morning, trying to get things organised at my desk while one the cleaners is pottering around my legs with a noisy floor buffer machine.

Later on I take a lift from the first floor to get to the third floor but the lift decides to take me into the bowels of the building as far as -2 first before going to the third floor. Serves me right for being too lazy to take the stairs.

And finally, I spent twenty minutes struggling to put a French Press coffee maker back together, slicing my finger open in the process.

Do you know what's annoying, in a trivial way? When you reverse an item of clothing because it's inside out, you put it on, and voilà, it's inside out! How the hell does that happen?

If it has a table and chairs in it, it's most definitely a place to socialise.

The last rented shared house I was in we'd always have drinks at the table in the kitchen, never liked sitting on the couch drinking with drinks.

Nahhhhh A doctors waiting room has tables and chairs in it too, doesn’t mean it’s a place to go socialise.

You just needed better furniture in your living room ;)

Completely disagree, had a really nice recliner couch and armchairs but they were too comfortable to be sitting on to drink. It's why in pubs they have bar stools and and wooden chairs, not cozy armchairs and couches.

Everyone I know drinks in their kitchen, most new builds now have open planned kitchen/living room as it's the most social and used space in the house.

Sure just go and cook your food, do you need it to be empty to cook?

Yesterday had a t shirt on with three buttons. Went to the Dentist with them buttoned wrong - skipped a button. Sore gob and bandy buttoning. But with clean teeth.

What’s with this relatively recent fad of so many people having to be permanently sucking from water bottles . Is it a regression to childhood by those who were weaned too early from bottle or breast . One could be forgiven for thinking some of them were preparing for a solo crossing of the Sahara Desert .On a recent train trip I observed amongst others a lady slugging from a two litre bottle and later that morning while in a hospital waiting room a group of about ten trainee nurses passed by with a cacophony of bangs, clatters and rattles from the aluminium water bottles swinging from their belts.
Between drinking and peeing I don’t know how some people get any work done.
The only people I don’t observe engaging in this weird activity are builders, road workers and farmers. Perhaps they get enough moisture from the rain 😉

Rihanna's girlfriend (again)

Seen a photo of this fool wearing a pair of red Mary Jane pumps, FFS.

Just because they are Christian Louboutin doesn't automatically make them cool either.

Imagine your other half going to work to do a photo shoot and that is what supporting your family looks like 🫤.

Americans on social media celebrating the death of Hulk Hogan. What sick and sad individuals.

Oh that's really funny - I'd never thought of that.

Just Stop Oil really annoy me - a bunch of overprivileged upper middle class twits virtue signalling because they can afford to. Every time one of them is named in the media, they invariably seem to come from a wealthy family and have been privately educated.

A poster here had a theory that they were set up and are covertly funded by big oil interests. The more footage I see of them and how they go out of their way to severely piss off as many normal members of the public as possible and to turn people against their movement, it looks more and more likely.

Not so long ago my TV remote was not working correctly some buttons were no longer working tried cleaning it etc. So got a new TV remote. I was delighted - it was only 7 Euro plus 4 Euro shipping online.

Fast forward about 5/6 months I managed to break "new" remote. Thought I would clean it and see would it fix it. Certain buttons jammed. Rubber seemed to get stuck. Opened it tried to "fix" it. Brought electronic cleaning alcohol and cloth (20 euro) opened it up. Noticed that if I put it back together in a certain way, it would "work". But it was hit and miss. When pressing the "home" button the channels would change.

The thought of having to buy that new remote so soon really annoyed me - 7 euros plus 4 Euros shipping….

Wanted to watch the Men's AI final last Sunday - fortunately when I pressed the "home" button it landed on the AI football final. I quickly removed the battery, before it moved again.

Today the remote does not seem to work at all now. Conceded defeat and ordered a new one….

But wanted to avoid that 8 euro fee on items (under 25 euro) so purchased a 40 euro hardcover book on the History of Dublin football, with the remote.

Remote due to arrive 30th of August….which is a bit of problem. Ladies football final Dublin v Meath on 3rd of August.

A voice in my mind immediately said "Might as well go to the final? So as 'not to let the remote win' - ticket for final 30 euro……you f**king eejit".
