Ta'd at stubbing my toe :'(

Mod:

Hi gang,

Please note it would not be a wise course of action for us to start commenting on others TAs as TA.

It discourages contribution and makes a very enjoyable thread adversarial.

As I have said before in a mod note on this thread, each person's TA is their own. I would hate to see posters discussing others for posting in this thread: intentionally or otherwise. It will kill the thread in the long run.

Any queries on this please PM me.

Mod warning also repeated in post #3352

A proxy TA in advance

If WFM comes a thing and when this lockdown scenario comes to a halt I'm thinking of all the poor fcukers who will be W'ingFH and their friends/neighbours will think it's okay to call around anytime

It might be ok now but this sh1t is in the post

Unless people will be happy with the interruption, but they probably in the minority

I think I've set the expectation for all friends and acquaintances that unless they are on fire and can't find a water source on the street, don't knock on my door unexpectedly. I'm always welcoming of guests, but have the manners to let me know that you're calling over

It actually sets my teeth on edge to watch people do this to my parents for example, who come from an age where this was common. It annoys them, but they're too polite to say anything. Everyone has a mobile now though, there's no excuse for this

Don't answer the door.... Sorry didn't hear doorbell /was on a conference call /zoom went on forever/you knocked? I must have been out hanging out the washing.

The propaganda from RTE continuing apace.

Plus, the amount of money it must have cost to build the set on tonight's (last night now I suppose - watching on +1) show, fake pub and all that. :cool: :rolleyes:

And they have the audacity to keep harping on about the bloody licence :mad:

Liam fkn Cunningham goin on about Sean O'Casey, community spirit and whatnot, giving out about gentrification.

"community spirit" - same bloke is probably for mass immigration; probably at odds with community spirit

That's enough RTE for me for a month :pac:

OH is working from home and I'm on maternity leave. I do appreciate we are very lucky to be in this position and he is around to see his little girl and not just come home to put her to bed etc. however I have two TAs arising.

1: He finishes work at 4. In all the time I've known him he finishes at this time. Oddly, since our girl arrived, he is "working an extra hour" past his finish time every day and he won't emerge from the office until 5. Far be it from me to be cynical but I could have sworn I've heard animé during that hour and the occasional soft whistle snore... If you need an hour to yourself just say so!

2. He keeps reminding me how tired he is because, you know, he is "still working" - the implication being that I'm not. I've resisted the temptation to tell him he's working an 8 hour day whereas I'm doing a 24 hour one! I think he thinks I'm on annual leave

A while ago I was in the kitchen and saw someone walking around the back of the house. When I looked out it was my batty neighbour. She had rang the doorbell and got no answer so decided to try the back door. FFS. Other neighbours told me after she had knocked into them to ask where I was. They tried to drop a hint saying we had a new baby and maybe we were sleeping or whatever and she apparently said 'no no I listened at the door but didn't hear a baby crying". At the time I remember I was wearing only flip flops and pants and was run ragged making formula and throwing a wash on. In hindsight if I'd opened the door to her at least it would have been the last time she'd knock

I missed Crimecall and it’s not repeated or in the RTÉ player for some reason I enjoy crimecall and it’s not on until September now!
I’m pathetic I know.

Switched RTE off. +1 Film Four, Sing Street on. Not too bad, seems fairly good.

Then on Ad break ruddy ACTIONAID advertisement shilling money for GIRLS, saying they've suffered brutalities and the like and to donate..... Not that it matters but none of them are white.

TA here is why don't they call out the Countries/Cultures etc over this barbarity so.. Too PC for that :mad:

That does my head in.My dp was the exact same.
I remember having to have 2 blood transfusions after the last baby.

Lying there in the bed,feeding the baby,and getting teh blood transfusions.And he complains hes tired.:rolleyes:

I told the nurse to give him the blood,as he obviously needed it more.At least he had the decency to look ashamed.

I will give some advice though,give him the baby for an hour a day.Go shower or have something to eat.You do need a break.

dubstarr, I love all your posts but please please please leave a space after you put a full stop/comma. Have you not noticed others doing it?

The obsession with cooking pizza at home, be it outdoors or in the oven, at the moment.
It seems everyone is, suddenly a pizza expert, now, talking about % hydration and 96 hour proves! You'd swear pizza was invented in January of this year.
It's put me off making pizza.

Hilarious 😂

Ah no in fairness I get two hours in the evening to take the dog out. Part of our "keep lavishing attention on the dog so she doesn't act out and feel resentful" thing which has thankfully worked, she's a real little nanny and quite protective of the small person now.

He also complains he finds it hard to get off to sleep. I could sleep standing up and it's a TA of mine in general when people are like this. I can still hear my nan saying "ah when you're tired enough you'll sleep". She had zero tolerance for insomnia and come to think of it, for most things. She also thought people who were depressed were "suffering from a good dose of themselves". Not the kind of person you would be pouring your heart out to!

TA for me are when there are 2 spaces after a full stop or comma. Why?

Also when people use the word advices. :mad:

Got coughed on in dunnes by an oap....

Well she coughed beside me and into her hand just to ensure maximum spread.

Plus couldn't say anything as no way you'd come out of that exchange in a positive light. Oaps being a protected species these days and they are the worst bloody offenders, in my experience anyway.

One space after a comma, two after a full stop.

My family of origin have issues with labelling, which makes communication difficult even amongst ourselves.

One of the more bizarre ones from today, 'get that garlic out of the fridge', I hate garlic and only have it in dried ground form, which is not kept in the fridge.

After much verbiage(that smelly thing in the fridge) I discovered the problem is the celeriac I bought a week ago.

Ta'd by perpetual moaniness in a work colleague. I don't actually think the woman knows how to just be content. I've become her shoulder to whinge on during the lockdown and it's actually really starting to wear me down.

Bullsheeit fake niceness on the internet. I'm a cynical bastard at the best of times but really not in the mood for it today.

Also martyrs. Would you quit listing all normal things you've done like you're some hero worthy of father/ husband of the year. Ugh

An oul rant is very satisfying.

I don't know what's wrong with me today but I feel so heavy and lethargic. It's more than tiredness, it's like someone sapped all of the energy out of me.

Gamer Bhoy 89

Was told last week that I was to come into work on the 23rd (today) to do a new tour of the place because we're changing our routines to suit COVID19 regulations. It was only going to be an hour and a half.

Got a text yesterday to say "well Dave 11am tomorrow, make sure to wear your boots and uniform"

TA that I was the only c*nt in there wearing f*cking boots, when everyone else was wearing runners, one of them wearing sketchers and casual clothing. And here's me, dopey Dave with two fresh blisters on his feet from hiking 45 minutes in steel toecaps, and 45 minutes home. Rang the boss then to find out when the new roster sheet will be in "oh could be next week or the week after"

Well sh1te!

Keep in mind I'm a contract cleaner in a tourist-heavy location, that has been closed to the general public for 3 and a half months, and won't be opening for another couple of weeks, so there was nothing going on in there. Boots me arse.

Protocol and all that - I get it, but not when there's 4 of us and no visitors.

On a more positive note, I am happy that I'll get to go somewhere other than Lidl, and earn money again. :pac:
