    Drove into Dublin last night continually passing a cyclist who broke every red light, did not look for traffic that might kill him because he'd broken the red lights, didn't wear a helmet and worst of all, was wearing a scarf in July. I think it might have been Oscar Wilde reincarnated. 🤣🤣🤣

    On the bike yep.

    Looked like a trush or something similar.

    Hit my hand that was on the throttle.

    Had a head on collision with a crow one time.

    Straight into the head, nearly knocked me off.

    Another time I pulled up my visor coming into a town as it was covered in flies and a stone flew from the wheel of a car passing the other way.

    Straight into the eye I got it. Felt like getting a bullet through the eye.

    That was around 27 years ago.

    I was recently getting my eyes checked and was asked what hit me in the eye as there is a hole in my pupil.😮

    News to me.

    Hang in, is a pupil not a hole as is?.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,167 ✭✭✭✭blade1


    I think so. I think it's on the edge of the pupil but I wasn't shown.

    I was in a collision with a crow a few years but I was on a regular bike, not a motorbike. I was cycling home from work one blustery, almost rainy evening when I noticed a strange bit of darkness in the sky to my left. A crow was apparently unable to deal with the wind and was tumbling down right in my direction. It hit me in the chest, flappingly, and I had to raise my right arm (or wing) to get it away from me.

    Then I continued on cycling, thinking...did that actually happen?

    Anyway, my trivial annoyance is my procrastination. I'm off work until next Monday (since last Thursday) and haven't done any of the things I planned to do around the house (apart from tidying up one corner of one room). Ideally, I should have two rooms decluttered, not just one square metre of where I am currently sitting.

    Speaking of hitting wild life on my bike flying down a hill and I run into a pile of midges and spot a black and white fcuker crossing the road . I hit mr badger full on and went flying over the cross bars to wake up a half hour later on the road with a buckled wheel. It explains alot 😷😷

    Fruit flies are everywhere. This time of the year if you leave the brown kitchen bin for a few days without emptying it you end up releasing a cloud of flies every time it's opened. Little bastards are hard to swat or splat.

    That I thought I posted a TA earlier , but I forgot to press send !

    I bought peaches , which were raw , and when I left them to ripen they rotted 😡

    I want to buy a coat for Autumn/Winter.

    I want it to be warm however I don't want it to be too warm.

    Also, I feel there isn't enough out in the shops just yet.

    I went to Tenerife one Christmas and it was as hot in monaghan when I got home. True story

    In my bare feet and my phone falls on my toe. Didn't realise how heavy a phone is. The pain was unreal. It's throbbing away now. It could be broken.

    Yes, this is the problem buying the likes of plum,peaches,nectarines. Its like you have a small window to eat between raw and rotting.

    Irish seller on Ebay.

    Has about 25 items I want. Default postage is a fiver for each. Send him message asking can he do combined postage (based on weight & size, would be around 30 euro).

    “No sorry”

    I’ll just go elsewhere.

    Replaying something dumb that I did yesterday eve over and over and over again in my head, making myself miserable as a result.

    Since Thursday the right side of my foot is swollen and while I can still walk on it, it doesn't feel right 😓.

    That rumination is killer on the mental health.. All I can offer is rephrase the situation, perhaps think how you'd feel if you were another person in the situation, we are our own harshest critic.. Can't tell you how much therapy I needed for that 🙄



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,219 ✭✭✭✭SuperBowserWorld


    Us rich westerners who can decide from about 5 different kinds of milk to put in our 4 euro coffees. And wax lyrically about the advantages, disadvantages of each. And make up a sad story about being lactose intolerant. And get paid to write articles about it in the Irish Times et Al.

    While people are starving on the planet or being blown up ...

    I honestly think we have gone mad. You realise this when life gives you a kick in the arse and wakes you up for a moment.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,683 ✭✭✭Princess Calla


    Ah that's my speciality.

    The reality of the situation is other people are usually too caught up in their own life/problems to even notice someone else's mistake.

    Try to let it go, you can't change it.

    If the situation arises again you won't make the same mistake 😊



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,944 ✭✭✭Sgt Hartman


    I just kept imagining an image of my brother in my head absolutely chewing me out of it and calling me a "stupid f**King eejit" for making the mistake, because that's what he would have done when I was much younger. I guess I just never fully got over it. As a result, anytime I have a negative run in with somebody I end up usually blaming myself and totally overthinking it.

    I was reversing into a parking spot earlier on and some of you may know this feeling, when you're looking at the car that was parked next to you and it reverses out at the same time so it makes it look like you're going back a bit too quick. Can be disorientating, My heart has a temporary scare everytime. haha
