Mrs Beer woke up with a slight temperature, so had to cancel. Was looking forward to a bit of social interaction.

My sister and her boyfriend got engaged yesterday. My folks are having them over for drinks later and I can't join them because of the stupid one household rule >:-(

Both Roger Federer and Michael Schumacher are likely to have significant records equalled today by pale imitations of their greatness.

This displeased me deeply.

When you slice your finger, and it feels like two tectonic plates grinding each other when you move it.

i go to a 2 euro shop, name starts with D, I Buy a can opener 2 euro.
i could not open a can of bean,s ,when i used it it just broke, and bent out of shape .
the same shop sells bike locks 2 euro.they are useless , anyone could break em,or open them with a small piece of wood or a cheap screwdriver.
they look like this, these locks will stop no one,if they want to steal your bike.

why are shops allowed to sell items that do not work.

if i buy a spoon or a screwdriver i assume it will not fall apart instantly and might actually perform the function as per the label .

IAMAMORON · 11-10-2020 6:11pm

In fairness you are asking for it spending 2 euro on kitchen utensils.

As John Ruskin said,

It’s unwise to pay too much, but it’s worse to pay too little. When you pay too much, you lose a little money — that is all. When you pay too little, you sometimes lose everything, because the thing you bought was incapable of doing the thing it was bought to do

New Home · 11-10-2020 6:14pm

You can always return the items to the shop... EU rules and all that.

No liquid soap with pump dispensers on sale in the shops....WTF??.is this an unannounced side-effect of COVID??
Genuine question.....Are you supposed to re-use a pump from an old one or open the top and squeeze the stuff on to your hand??i actually have no clue.....

New Home · 11-10-2020 7:10pm

If they're a refill, you can use the old pump. You can also transfer the soap into an empty pump dispenser. There are no set rules.

RTE's Mayo born news reporter, the eyebrowless Fergal O'Brien, persistently referring to HOlloween as though he was a 7th generation inbred moonshine distiller from West Virginia. :mad:

Cop yourself on, Fergal, - it's HAlloween - just like your mammy used to call it when you were a nipper.

That in Ireland we drive on the left . It seems stupid when most of the world drive on the right , especially Europe. Trivial but I just don’t get it

Black toothpaste. I don't care if it is made of the finest charcoal from Beverly hills, toothpaste should not be black.

Dear cyclists and joggers in the park. Please note that travelling two abreast makes it practically impossible to maintain a 2 metre distance from you, even when I manage to haul the baby's pram into the ditch as you approach. TA people who have zero consideration for other park users.

Buying and cooking food.I have a pain in my arse with it.

It's that time of the year again..
Laying out my clothes for the morning.. Layers and layers and a coat and scarf. It'll take me an extra 5 minutes to pull all these on in the morning

Today I was walking down a pedestrianised street and heard a bicycle bell ringing behind me and to my right and a woman shouting 'watch out', so I stepped to the left to let her past, and was nearly hit by the woman's partner, who was riding right next to her. Where exactly was I meant to go, like? Pair of them then looked at me like *I* was the idiot. They couldn't have just gone around me in single file like normal people?

I do a lot of DIY stuff in the house, so hands usually have nicks here and there and every time I use it, doing my bit for me and my fellow man, it's: "ooh, oww, argh, ****, Jesus."

Recently got a crockpot and have decided to give it a go today. I got a recipe online for a stew and one of the ingredients is a 400g tin of tomatoes. I've added it but it smells very tomatoey now.

I think I'll probably end up having the leftover veg with baby potatoes tonight.

Funnily enough I made a stew in my slow cooker on Saturday. I've had the thing for about 4 years now and any stew I've ever got a recipe for said to put in either tomatoes or tomato puree. They always come out more like a bolognese and less like a stew. Finally decided to ignore the recipes and leave out the puree and it was a success.

My TA is that I've a long sleeved tshirt on and a fluffy jumper and the heating on and I'm still cold. Gonna have to invest in thermals if I'm working from home for the whole winter or else my heating bill is going to be through the roof.

I'm so not looking forward to the boring documentation I have to do for work that I went and paid my TV licence just so I'd be doing something else.

TA'd that I'm €160 down and I still have to do the documentation.

During a teams meeting and my colleague is sharing her screen to go through the minutes. They're about 10 pages long. Every time we'd finish discussing one point, she wouldn't scroll down to the next point until my boss said - can you scroll down there please so we can see.
Her little arrow starts fumbling across the screen pulling it down to the next point.
Que discussion on said point then wrapping up.
Boss - can you scroll down as we go please??
...her arrow starts dicking around the screen again.
Christ almighty it's so irritating!! Its hardly rocket science scrolling from point to point. I felt like screaming at her "Use your goddamn head you absolutely infuriating asshole!!"

*anger may be disproportionate to actual event*

No it’s not - until you’ve gone on mute and screamed abuse it’s not a meeting!

Use less water/stock tomatoes than you think.

It wont dry out.I find putting a stock cube in does wonders and worstershire sauce.
