I can’t seem to regulate my body temperature . Put the heat on and I’m too warm , switch it off and a couple of minutes later I’m freezing .
Add in a headache now

That it’s September and I still can’t get my head around the new GAA schedule . The all-Ireland should have been this or last week

cooked some fresh ‘filled’ supermarket brand Mezzelune pasta…. Same one I always buy… something is different, lacks texture, lacks flavour… I eat two pieces, I open the third, there is ZERO filling inside, no remnants of meat or cheese, or sauce, most other pieces are the same…..

Doesn’t fill a person with any confidence regards overall quality control when all ingredients of what is supposed to go in the dish ain’t there…. I used to get comments from an ex when I got my fresh pasta dishes in Fallon and Byrne but despite being dearer than D****s Stores, at least the ingredients were there, as advertised. 👀

Yeah it's just not the same anymore, at least i can take comfort Waterford we're in the 'last September All Ireland Hurling Final' (also the December one) but don't talk about the results

It's actually pretty much October. That's a TA in its own right.

I'm in a bit of a Pauline Fowler. No particular reason. Just re-read this thread and have tears running down my cheeks. So, so funny.

There's a woman on my bus eating a full corn on the cob. I really didn't need to see or smell that at this hour of the morning.

Big toenails . . there's yet to be a pair of nail scissors invented that can successfully tackle cutting one of my big toenails, that doesn't first fire random bits of toenail projectile around the kitchen, only to end up bending or breaking.

Soak your feet for half an hour, it'll soften the nails and make it easier to cut them.

Edited to remove a full stop to alleviate CrookedJack's TA.

Found Queenie on the player, binge-watched to epos 3 or 4 and at the end there is a gott ya shot. This shows queenies's friend and some guy, I know from the set that I should know and be shocked by who this guy is but I can't remember who he is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! each show is 30 minutes long so it's not like it's been weeks since I saw that character last.

Ta1 that I cant remember who the character is supposed to be and ta2 I cant remember the friend's name to google it!

Got a pair on amazon a few years back and they will clip thick nails. Have a damaged nail and these cut through it like butter.

This is a perennial TA of mine: people who don't remove the tacking stitch from the tails of a coat or jacket.

People who don't know how to use an ellipses…. or don't know that it only has three dots….or think it means they can just fire off a bunch of non-sequiturs…. I just know they're the kind of people to start arguments using "facts" they heard on twitter….

Writers who cannot write properly so they make use words that are not correct for the context

some websites are now using ai to write articles but they usually have someone to check the article to make sure it has no obvious errors

”While John’s career would continue to reach new highs with over 40 multiplatinum records and one diamond record, “Rocket Man” still remains as one of his greatest music outputs

Wtf outputs was this article written by chatgpt ai?

replace greatest music outputs with greatest pop songs

or greatest chart hits of the 70,s

imagine going to a record store and saying i need to buy taylor swifts latest output .

People who speak on popcasts who drop t,s eg important is pronounced as imporaant .

if you are older than 25 don,t try and use gen z slang like rizz or mid .

Also, it's an ellipsis.

Ellipses would be more than one.

I’m after picking up my new reading glasses and they’re still **** .

People who do the same thing over and over, when the consequences of that thing could be very expensive or catastrophic even. And you ask them not to do it. And they still go and ******* do it. Like talking to the ******* wall.

Me : “ we have to leave by 4.30 or we’ll be late ”

Them : “ will you stop panicking, we’ll be grand “

Me ( as we are stuck on Shanowen Rd at 4.48 in an almighty backlog) : “well 😒 ?”

Them : “ sure how was I to know we’d hit this level of traffic “

Me : “ because it’s around rush hour & I advised you I know the area and common sense….! Forget it !“

Grrrrrrrrr

When you try to record a video with audio and someone always has to start talking.

SuperBowserWorld

People who get their kids iPhones. Ridiculous price for something that they'll lose or break, when you can get a Samsung or Google Pixel Android phone for a lot less with several years OS and security updates now (not including dodgy android makes here). The same people then say they have no money. Yeah, blow it out your ****.

This thread is very cathartic. I like it. 😁

the lack of quality online journalism…. “Ryanair cuts 14 routes from Dublin airport” is a headline on one media / news website… i click on the article, it fails to name any of the cancelled routes..So what in the heck is the point in writing / publishing the article..? The whole idea of ‘news’ is to inform people as accurately and as comprehensively….

It will take about 15 seconds of typing to name the cities / airports so what the hell… ? lazy useless journalism….

There's just been an automated announcement that my bus will be diverted due to an "incident" on our route, but no word from the driver as to where or what the diversion actually is. That's helpful.

Magical Mystery Tour!! 🚌

My trivial annoyance is my colleague who has given up wearing his headphones when we are on the call with multiple people. He is in the same room as me so if I say anything, I can hear my voice in the delay, which interferes with the rest of what I am trying to say. I've said it to him repeatedly, but he doesn't care. The other person in the room isn't impressed either, but she obviously doesn't matter either.

There are usually about 10 people on the call, half of them in India, and at least one of them also doesn't have headphones on either, so the very loud hustle and bustle of their office is annoying too.

Might be related to road closures around the Dail for the budget… but yeah, that's well annoying from the driver.

Posters with superiority complexes who feel the need to correct someone else's grammar on thread. It is so smug and petty.

The sign of a truly insufferable asshole.
