    i was in dunnes last night. i saw a twin pack of Tuc on the specials rack for 2 euro. happy days i thought. i walked around to the next aisle and they had packets of Tuc with 100% free. so the same size as a twin pack. 1.49 euro. so then i was in the biscuit aisle and they had a sign up with Tuc w/100% extra free only 1.49. Except they had the twin packs for 2 euro not the 100% extra free packs on the shelves. this has annoyed me probably more than it should.

    My new windows 10 pc won't let me type a euro symbol. Pressing Alt-Gr+4 does nothing.

    Press the Windows key and space....it'll give you the options available ENG (Ireland) is what you'd be looking for.


    Meeting cancelled....7 minutes after it was supposed to start.

    I was reading about Forumla 1 on the internet

    I used to be a big fan but haven’t seen a race for several years, probably over 10 years

    There are two drivers with surnames Magnusson and Verstappen

    I remember when their fathers used to race

    Officially old :(

    TA: Receipts that fade.

    I've noticed this a lot recently now that I think of it. Just went though a box of receipts, most I don't think I'll need again. But that's the thing with receipts, you never know if your going to need them.

    But most of them as I went through them have faded. I don't know what it is but the paper used for receipts seems 'glossier' than they used to be. I suspect cheaper ink and paper is being used.

    Actually, it's not that trivial if one needs it for a refund or whatever.

    It wasn't set to Irish. I hadn't even thought to check that. I thought the UK keyboard layout also had a euro symbol. Cheers.

    People that bump into you and then look at you as if you're at fault, queue-skippers, when chips stick to the side of the bag, people whispering conversations within earshot

    I was leaving my local Lidl a year or two ago and I spot the proverbial middle-aged, middle-class woman standing at the door, clearly oblivious to the fact that the reason it wasn't opening for her is because it's the exit. It opens for me and she barges past me, glaring at me like I'm the one in her way.

    I'm untying the dog when she walks out 30 seconds later and back in through the right door. Gave her a big cheeky grin. Bint.

    Haven't been near a PC in days, and only use my phone for the internet in emergencies (I'm too old for that kind of carry-on).

    I love this thread but there's no way I'm going back over 20+ pages of everyone's TAs. But now I feel as though I'm missing out :(

    Kitchen being refitted at ATM so not doing great on the breakfast front having to stop at a local petrol station on the way to work for food. I sometimes get a coffee to go and the lady behind the counter is very nice and friendly.

    BUT...please stop smothering your fingers all over the mouth piece while putting the lid on while talking to me.

    I get that you are making absolutely sure it is on tight but Jaysus I am cringing up inside watching your palm and fingers rubbing the lid for 5-10 seconds...I have to put my mouth on that in a few minutes.

    People not knowing the difference between coincidence and irony. No, it’s not ironic that Dermot Morgan and Frank Kelly died on the same date, it’s coincidental.

    The paper they use is heat sensitive and this is how it is printed. It fades fairly quickly. I have old rolls of this paper and if you heat it, say with the iron, it turns black but fades over time. Guess you could take a photo or scan it.

    Sales people.

    I've sent one company three different emails asking for a run down on costs and I keep getting messages from their sales person asking for a face to face meeting. I don't need a face to face meeting - I need a breakdown of costs to put into my excel sheet to compare with other offerings. Does she think she's going to jedi mind trick me or something?

    At this point I give up - that company is not getting my business.

    Dunnes 1ltr milk cartons. Always leak. Grand standing up but the minute you put them on their side, catastrophe!!

    Yesterday the bloody things leaked all over the checkout. Poor lady on checkout seemed painfully used to it, wiping feverishly while scanning.

    Had to reorganize my fridge and all to stand them up rather than pack them flat.

    This is a national emergency people. Lidl and Tesco have normal cartons. Dunnes I’m really trying to stick with you and your lovely loyalty vouchers, but this spilt milk....

    A friend posting on Facebook that she’s been with her boyfriend 9 months. Why? Who actually cares apart from you? I’m really losing patience with social media :p

    All of my shoes are ripping inside, starting to fall apart at the soles or just unwearable because they are uncomfortable. Do I replace them? No. Why? Because I'm a gobsh1te!
