A TA of mine, your googling info and what you read you press the link, you start reading on the page and a stupid box blocks what your reading, either a message like 'this site uses cookies' or 'do you agree or not agree' or 'add your email for daily updates'. FECK OFF! I just want to read the article.

Along the same line - TA for today, mid Atlantic twang :mad:

TA'd when you can't open the kitchen drawer properly due to some jammed utensil, resulting in a complete load of faff and footering.

When I was coming home from Limerick this evening, there’s a part of the road where two lanes merge into one. I was in the left lane as it’s the right lane that merges into the left. Anyway, as it was rush hour, traffic was fairly heavy and there was a long stream of traffic in front of me, and we weren’t going any more than 40km/h. Fairly close to where the two lanes merge into one, this Range Rover overtakes about 5 cars, my own and the one in front of me included, but then ran out of road and tried to swerve in front of me nearly driving me off the road :mad: some assholes on the roads

Apparently the council decided to house a fresh out of prison junkie lady a few houses down and everyone on the road is sweating it now...

Yellow snacks have shrunk. Only 4 biscuits now, being promoted as 4 bigger biscuits but total biscuit amount is no way the same!

I have forgotten shopping bags the last 3 times I have been to the supermarket. In protest I refused to buy more bags when asked did I need any yesterday. Instead I put everything back in the trolley and then on the back seat /floor of the car. When I got home I had to pack it in bags to carry it in

Bought car insurance, realised when I got the policy documents that I was a doofus and put my name where my husbands name needed to be. Rang to change but thats apparently not possible. Had to cancel the policy and will now have to redo everything, with the added indignation of a £20 non-refundable arrangement fee. Ugh.

TA that one of the people in my estate has self appointed himself as the moral guardian. The eejit was drunk as a lord at Noon today lol

I'm after spending half an hour looking for a CD that I wouldn't swear I actually have. The aul mancave is in a bad way for decluttering.

Have spent the last 15 or so hours going around in circles with Airbnb because someone on their end f***ed up. The two minutes it would have taken to reverse it is not possible apparently, so its just one big merry go round

I'm despairing that this is now what we have to put up with for customer service across the board. All we have left is incompetence with no accountability. Call a number and get stuck talking to some poor unfortunate soul who has a script to follow that they can't deviate from. And always ends with the customer getting screwed. Little Britain nailed it with their 'Computer Says No' sketches. And a special shout out for Aer Lingus who are the absolute masters at it

Some of mine take at least 30 minutes to retrieve. Buried behind shelves

TA'd that, even as a fairly confident cook, I still cannot poach an egg properly.

Like, effort. Splat!

Secret is to use a very fresh egg. I always made delicious poached egg when I kept hens and used that days eggs.

Half cup of cold water, smallish bowl, water into bowl,crack egg into bowl, bowl into microwave, no prodding, pinning, or fuhhrke all, 80 secs.

Take bowl out, slotted spoon, remove egg, check if to taste, onto toast,

Bingo.

Giving the ad sexy overtones, but we can't have a half naked person because of 'tink of de childer'.

We have what is called a 'Gardening Bucket' which is basically a bit squishy rubber container, which lives in the boot(its that squishy) that we put the shopping in when it gets to the car, just one thing to carry in once we arrive back.

* also, Aldi had trolley bags on sale last week, they fit in the trolley and close at the top so you can just pick them up out of the trolley and place in the car(its a pack of three graduating sized bags)

BAM! uhavechlamydia · 08-02-2019 11:48AM

Had a phonecall from my bank... asking my name... dob and why I paid €120 to someone...they had been asked by Citybank to find out...it's actually for Pat in the gentlemans thread for nice smells...

Got another call back and she said this time Citybank wanted to know how long I'd been in the country and what nationality I was?!?!
Seems my new username BAM was setting off alarms.....I've been profiled as an ISIS bomber ffs!
