What the heck is going on with my spelling?
I used to be quite a good speller but this last few years I'm always noticing mistakes.
Is it something to do with typing rather than writing Young ones seem to be getting worse too and they wouldn't do too much writing nowadays.

I had the occasion to type recently where autocorrect wasn't enabled for some reason. I was shocked at how many mistakes there were. Not so much spelling though, more hitting the wrong letters thinking they were the right ones, and not being corrected.

Rat droppings on a box that was up high in my shed

New Home · 21-09-2020 5:01pm

They could be Bat droppings, instead of Rat droppings. I'd expect to see gnawing marks on the box, with rats.

Not when you're waiting for a really important contract to come in before the end of the quarter :mad:

Nope, don't think it is bats by that photo, too large to be them.

I'd surely spot bats or would I?
Only time something could get in is sometimes the door might be open while I'm doing something around the place.

Its just a steel shed with nothing that should entice anything in :rolleyes:

Up there is where the droppings were.

1st bike in 20 yrs and I'm TA'd I didn't take the longer, quieter route to work. Instead I took the city centre route in busy traffic like a dope.

For one brief moment I just went into a state of panic and fell off my bike trying to get onto a paved area. I've only had it for 5 hours. Not used to the brakes yet.

No injuries - just a graze, but the sheer embarrassment will never leave me. Two passers-by asked if I was okay and I couldn't even own up to the fact I was just being clumsy. Instead I put the blame on a non-existent driver who veered into the cycle lane, to avoid further mortification.

Ring road from now on. It adds an extra 6 or 7 minutes to my journey but it's a split cycle/pedestrian pavement the whole way. No need to use the road or annoy cars.

I used to love cycling in city centre traffic when I was in college. Legging down Georges Street, timing it just right that you had a green light to turn right onto Dame Street, then race up to College Green and swing around into Westmoreland Street and the 4 lanes of traffic it used to be back then before blasting over O'Connell Bridge. Or pegging it down the steep hill of Winetavern Street - under the archway of Christchurch Cathedral - getting lucky with a green light and straight across Wood Quay onto O'Donovan Rossa Bridge without touching the brakes. Invigorating!

TA'd that the last time I cycled was in my adopted home of a small midwestern town, and even though the traffic is nothing like Dublin, I found I'd lost all my courage.

Cousin of mine who never contacts me from one end of the year to the other on to me again to do his tax return!!!

My mother is dying and my daughter is going through extreme mental health issues and he knows this but still has the ****ing cheek to put me on the spot again.

In a previous life the Glorious Leaders of the multinational I was working for at the time gave us all a medal (a cheapo, crappy thing) that said "We passed the audit!". There were thousands of us working there. I kid you not.

One of my friends worked in a call centre and at Easter a tool dressed as a bunny went around dripping chocolate eggs on people's desks while they dealt with irate
customers.

I was at a work do last year where awards were given out and there was a bit of speechifying and polite applause but there was really nice finger food and loads of free wine which I lashed into and was wobbly going for my train.

Team recognition is nice but don't make it into something childish.

Can't remember where I tucked away something for safekeeping. Where is my memory, when I need it?!

I've just seen a tweet from the NRA (american gun association) referring to bullets as 'freedom seeds' and i think i may have cracked my forehead frowning at it.. :mad:

Direct inverse correlation to how many seeds of diplomacy you are able to sow.

Rows of empty seats on the top deck of the 101 bus yet some slack jawed muck savage still decides to sit directly behind my seat and then start coughing and sniffling. No wonder Covid cases are on the rise again.

Gamer Bhoy 89 · 22-09-2020 9:14am

I woke up this morning in a lot of pain. My wrist is sore, my arse feels like it's been kicked and I have a fresh bruise on my elbow from when I fell off of my bike.

I dunno how my wrist hurts but my arse is probably sore due to the seat - not sure how I can remedy that problem.

Permission to steal “slack jawed muck savage” and use it widely ???

Get yourself one of these, or something similar. They're very comfortable

I was working last night trying to get some sleep this morning. First of all the integrated alarm system went off. Then the postman was banging the door down. I rushed out of bed only to see my neighbour standing in the hall right next to the front door not even attempting to open it. Who in their right fcking mind finds this acceptable.

Joined a work call as the host was finishing her cereal, and I'd be surprised if there is any paint left on the fcuking bowl given the scraping.

I can put up with lots of noises on these calls, background conversations, dishwashers being loaded, even getting used to listening to people slurping their coffee. But this almost made me yell at her, and I feel it would have been justified
