Im sick of snow

All the feckers who get days off while i have to work from home

There'll be no days off for this one, will have melted by Tuesday. Supposed to melt this afternoon I think.

It's still a pox. The last one was lovely and all but I've had enough snow for this year.

Love the snow. Just hope it doesn't delay the train I have to get to go pick up the phone I apparently just placed down on the bar and walked away from last night.

Suppose it would be rude not to have a pint seeing as they were nice enough to keep it safe for me.

My OH works in an office with a woman who apparently burps every couple of minutes. It's driving her up the wall. She reckons it's a cultural thing, as this woman apparently apologises every time she sneezes or coughs, but feels free to burp all she wants. Might pick her up a pair of... <checks price of those Jabra headphones>... you know, she should really learn to be more tolerant to other cultures!

There is a boards thread in Bargain Alerts dedicated to the bose QC35s (which don't satisfy your nothing mental requirements), but in that thread people tend to post alternatives too. Although I reckon the Jabras are good, check the thread you might get something class.

Hmm maybe that's not what you are after. The jabra has noise cancelling in the sense that the mic doesn't pick up background noise.

Do you perhaps just need earplugs?

That should be helpful with phone conversations.

Good quality over ear headphones that would block external noise is what's needed.

Work should be paying for these.

Work mate was having a few beers in the pub after the glorious result on Saturday.
4 young "rugger buggers" (his words not mine) pulled in beside him and asked the barman for 4 sticks.
Barman stared blankly (mate said he was wondering WTF).
4 sticks?
Yeah 4 sticks of heinomite.

So that's it now folks...a pint of Heineken is now a stick of heinomite.

I'm assuming the barman just told him to get out?

Believe it or not it wasn't in the leafy enclaves of D4 but Dunshaughlin!!
The barman would have been well within his rights to administer a large boot in the hole.

I would hope the barman would just look at the bloke and move on to the next customer.

Order like a bellend, be treated like a bellend.

Was told a story about a barman in a sister pub of the one I worked a good few years, maybe 10, back.

D4 lad walks up to the bar, which was pretty busy.
D4 lad: "Can I have 3 pints of Ken"
Barman: "What?"
D4 lab: "3 pints of Ken"
Barman: "What are you talking about?"
D4 lad: "3 pint of Ken! You know Heineken"
Barman: "For f**ks sake if 3 frogs can say Budweiser surely you can say Heineken"

What sort of ruffian orders pints of Heineken anyway.

Is having the metro follow pretty much the same route as the LUAS green line not a bit pointless?
