    Lots of talk on the radio about the changing weather and spiders trying to move inside this time of the year.

    Close your windows if you don’t want to be overrun. Good luck and may god help us all.

    I saw a clickbait headline a few days ago advising all Irish households to keep windows closed for next few weeks. My mind started to go down a completely different path and I was beginning to become concerned that it was something to do with high levels of radioactivity over the island until I clicked into the article and it was only about keeping spiders out of the houses!

    people who are overly inquisitive / nosey and lack awareness..…ffs

    Had a conversation in mixed company earlier, the theme was extolling the virtues of the retailer ‘Chemist Warehouse’..

    A person who had yet to go there started asking everyone individually .. “ what do you get, what bargains do you pick up, what’s great value… ? ”

    “Well toiletries and other stuff” is one response… but their enquiry to each person becomes more probing…

    It’s a discount chemist… the catalog is online… if you want painkillers, vitamins, toiletries whatever… go and have a look see, and as regards what others buy there it may be personal to them, being health related …..and they don’t want to share with 5 other people……

    That cheesy Swedish accent in the IKEA radio adverts.

    Is the guy even Swedish, or is it some Irish voice over guy putting on a daft accent?

    My local cinema has an irritating habit of advertising films they do not intend to show:

    Outside, they have an ad for The Bikeriders, a film which came out months ago and which they have not shown even once.

    Some Fabreeze or similar ad on YouTube where some idiot is spraying some can of air freshener crap around his bathroom instead of opening a window, and then he's in the living room spraying all over the place while is family is there. Ridiculously stupid advertising.

    During my downtime at work, I've removed as many contacts as possible from my LinkedIn. It has responded by "suggesting" various peddlers of insipid drivel to make up the shortfall on my feed.

    I do not care for LinkedIn.

    A Nephew of my neighbour has moved in while she is in a nursing home, he has just gotten comfy enough to smoke the pot he was "prescribed" as part of his healing for his joint operation(horrible heavy smelling stuff) so I was smothered with it all last night(as it drifts into my bedroom as well)

    Eating breakfast, the smell of chips and chops frying drifted through the house, putting me off my breakfast. So now I'm still hungry, congested and tired.

    Ta'ed that the world either wants to stave or choke me via other ppl!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Needing all these apps to get special offers in shops.

    It's not the data thing that annoys me.

    More so you hoping you don't forget to scan the app or trying to finding ot on your phone.

    Not to forget those who spend ages looking for ot at the counter.

    healthcare / fitness appointment later in the week. The practitioner in question is talented and diligent as to the hands on work they engage in. No complaints…Personality wise however they are all over the fućkin kip.

    I don’t mind so much if they were just a rude muppet, I’d know that going in, and adjust my expectations, however… February… in great form, enthusiastically sharing holiday tips, we go to some of the same places..they do their work and I pay, thank them, till the next time and I’m gone. May… moody, quiet, expressing dissatisfaction with an element of my health in a not too diplomatic fashion…instead of just remaining polite and professional and highlighting and fixing their concern.

    and it goes like that from appointment to appointment, has done for 4 years, you can never predict.

    All the Oasis fanboys practically jizzing themselves over the reunion announcement. I can't adequately convey how boring I find that band. It's going to be a long year.
