I was almost hit by a cyclist in a the shopping centre!!!

He wheeled his bike up the travelator and then got on it and rode past a dozen shops!!

Where does this pure entitlement come from ????

Squirrels are another possible as are Pine Martins if you are in the country. Squirrels make a lot of noise and a right mess chewing on everything.

I’m in a village now , but I think birds are probably more likely . It happens at dusk then stops . I’ll bring our very protective collie out to see how she acts

The main scare was the scratching on the ceiling but it could be something else . I know from heating the place there’s no insulation up there so sound can travel .

Magherafelt vs Newbridge in club football…. Live..On RTÈ…. 25 minutes played, 2 scores… close to perfect conditions, pitch and weather. Marty Morrissey on commentary sounds like he’s almost going asleep.

Winning streak repeats would be better value for the licence fee.

Two scores after 25 minutes doesn’t sound very exciting, it sounds like a fuckin snooze fest.

Are you aware that commentators aren’t there to make matches more exciting??? They’re there just to describe the game???

I’m very aware, my point about the commentators was in relation how dull it was and it was impacting them too, they’d nothing to talk about they were struggling… keep up.

Wrong time of year for hatchlings. Could very well be birds on the roof rather than in it - we get magpies on ours every morning and they genuinely sound like they're inside the attic.

Mind you, it is also the time of year for mice to be coming inside. They wouldn't bother me in the least - I actually think they're cute as fcuk - but they can do a serious amount of damage , particularly to wiring.

These changes to Gaelic football can't some soon enough.

As a spectacle, it died years ago.

I know but yesterday it was scratching on the ceiling but now it could be anything . I’m hoping it’s a bird who’s found a place to winter . I’m going to close my doors just in case 😳

Wtf has happened to bars at matches/concerts in Ireland since Covid ?

Today in Croke Park the lines were extremely slow moving. It's the same in the Aviva

you have to fix that soffit otherwise you,ll get birds nesting which can cause a mess or allow water in in heavy rain.

That was the first thing I got fixed as I think I had visitors . Hopefully it’s birds that will feed off my feeder outside .

Trolls . . coming onto forums thinking they're so much cleverer than everyone else, but the only thing they can do well is irritate and annoy people.

Ignore them and they can fuçk right off.

Mod - Some posts deleted.

Keep the bickering and point scoring to PM please. Apart from being boring, it's definitely not in the spirit of the thread.

I have a mouse/rat alarm that plugs in so far no sightings of either rodent, people say that the rodents get used to the sound but so far I've seen no evidence of that. They plug into a regular plug and don't cost much for power. I have had mine for years and years successfully now.

They're staffed by a bunch of kids with no training and even less interest. There was a time when the likes of Madigan's hired actual bar staff, but college students are much cheaper, so 🤷

Stranger Things

In my housing estate groupchat whenever a person gives something away it is only one person who asks can I have it.

Nothing wrong with it, but for some reason it annoys me. They reply the same second before anyone else. I’d love to see what he owns in his house!

I know a lad who takes that stuff and sells it on donedeal and adverts

This is a bit of a gross TA so apologies in advance. 

I was in Lidl earlier buying some of their lovely bakery products and my original TA of the day was that the conveyor belt was absolutely manky and sticky and I really didn't want to put my fresh pastries on it, even in the paper bag.

Incidentally, i spent hours yesterday cleaning every bit of the inside of my car, sparkling it was.

When I got out of Lidl, i was starving and decided to demolish one of the apple puffs I'd bought before i set off.

While happily munching away in the driving seat, i got hit by one of those no warning utterly unexpected sneezes that come totally out of the blue and that has the power of a tropical storm. With a mouthful of apple puff :(

There were bits of it absolutely everywhere. On the windscreen, the steering wheel, the instument panel, the gearbox. Even that bit far down the dashboard at the windscreen where the heat comes from.

All i could do was sit there and say aw FFS.

It wasnt me123

Bought two wholenut bars of chocolate but I like my chocolate cold from the fridge so sitting here looking at the fridge and then the clock to see if its cold enough yet!!

I.listen to a podcast about UK pop and new wave music it's well done and entertaining by two men unfortunately every 10 minutes one man has to curse using the fword and cword

Maybe in the future there ll be an ai app that ,ll go thru mp3 files to remove all curse words

They spend billions on ai let them make an app that useful for ordinary people who are not programers

Im not a student I can't use ai to do all my essays and college work

The cursing is an annoying thing. My kids would watch those wretched youtube shorts, and 99% of them i have no issue with (other than the fact they are probably losing brain cells watching them), and every now and again one of the presenters just uses the F word for no reason whatsoever.
