    I have two favourite watches I like and alternate between wearing both.

    Looked up a jeweller nearby out of pure boredom and found an incredibly sexy watch but it’s 695 euros 😅. Can I afford it ? YES, can I justify it… having two good watches ? NO, absolutely…fûcking…not…. Stupid sexy watch,

    Went to rejoin my local library after years away. It's all self service now. I miss the stamp they used to put on the books to tell you when it was due back. Now how are you meant to know?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 35,422 ✭✭✭✭odyssey06


    I missed being able to see how many times it had been borrowed, by scanning the stamps :(

    Been a while, but I think you can sign up for online reminders?

    Or, if you check out by self service, print the receipt and write the due date on it.
    The receipt might mention it, not sure.

    timing on washing machine. Our washing machine is in a shed at the back of the garden…. I come out to put clothes into dryer that I need for morning, washing machine says 10 mins left, I come back 15 mins later washing machine says 8 minutes left… every time. Wish it was just honest

    It'll tell you online, but it doesn't really matter anymore since they did away with late fines. Return it whenever you've finished it.

    My TA is that I burned my mouth on my very first bite of my lunch. Couldn't enjoy the rest of it then.

    Also, my dog being a fussy little shıt and pretending he's off his food, while also constantly on the scrounge for treats and tidbits. Tried tricking him into eating his actual food by putting it in my other dog's bowl, but nope.

    The local foxes will be well fed again this evening.

    I was In the shop and wanted a spirit to have in the house . Jack Daniel’s came to £66 . I’ll still have it in years time at that price

    People repeating themselves . . . Someone tells you about some mundane incident that happened at the checkout till in Tesco or lidl (don't know as I wasn't really listening) and they keep repeating said incident to anyone within earshot to try and prove the point that they were right and the other party involved was wrong. Then they ring their sister and spend fifteen minutes explaining the same experience . . five minutes later the sister lands at the house and they spend the next half hour dissecting every detail over and over again.

    You think it's finally finished with but no . . . they ring the mother on speaker phone.

    Yeah, although I'd forgive them if they were caught in some sort of time-loop. 🧐 🤪

    My trivial annoyance every evening this week is that I haven't felt hungry so didn't make anything to eat…until about 10-ish when it was probably too late to eat but I have each time, anyway. 🙄

    Stopped at a shop earlier and went to the counter and ordered a 99. No queue at all. Just as I finished asking for said 99 three people joined the queue behind me so the guy took payment and asked if I wouldn’t mind waiting till he served the people behind.

    It took about 2 minutes and the 3 people got served and left the shop with their purchases.

    Is it just me or was I right to be TA as it seemed to me that their time was more important than mine. Took about 60 seconds to make the 99.

    Or am I being a grump. What is the etiquette here.

    Needless to say I didn’t open my mouth to complain as I’m Irish 😂

    Nightly scroll through social media and again, some gimp about 25 so not a child, and about 60% - 70% of all what they typed in a 4 line post were acronyms. I thought at first they were just taking the piss, but a quick glance at their other marvellous inclusions to the social media landscape… FTW, BFF, IDK…..etc…

    I’m not beyond using an acronym if I am feeling lazy, but jeez….it’s 🤦🏻‍♂️🥱

    You have predictive and spell check so it’s not taking more then a few seconds longer to formulate proper sentences…

    Bus driver is blasting the Strawberry Alarm Clock. Why anyone voluntarily listens to that is utterly beyond me. It's all just far too frantic and noisy for first thing in the morning.

    The panicky feeling of 'I've missed my stop' as the bus departs Ormond Quay, despite the fact I haven't commuted to work on a bus or had to get off at Four Courts or Ormond Quay since March 2020 🙄

    Those people who stand waiting for their tray to come out from X-ray in the airport. Then proceed to stand right there while getting ready. Then leaving their empty tray right there.

    Pick your tray up, get out of the ffffing way, and dress at the little tables.

    TA I wasn't there when the owner of this walking stick decided he didn't need it to walk anymore 🙊

    I've become allergic to beer where my throat swells up. I can still enjoy a scotch with no problem but damn I miss my Guinness.

    I ‘ve done that in the cinema once . At least I must have used seats to get out but your pic must be divine intervention . Lucky so and so 😃

    My TA is waking up half an hour ago

    TA, the other half walks around the house with her vape glued to her hand, she's always dropping stuff as always attempts to do everything one handed instead of putting the stupid thing down.

    Overhearing two young women in public, one having or recently had a pregnancy scare. This one kept telling her friend that "he said that couldn't happen as he was sterile".

    HTH is it possible with all the easily available info on this topic is it that ppl don't know that or not know it's overwhelmingly a lie?

    Ta a line even someone as sheltered as I was in my teens knew not to believe is still being used and info inaccessible and youngsters are still falling for it.

    The chipper left an item out of the order. I rang it through and went to collect it. Only discovered when I got home. Not charged but annoying. I had the list of items with me when I was paying - should have showed it to the staff member so that he could make sure everything was there. But I didn't think there was any need.

    Was on the Tube yesterday and there was a lad with not one, not two, but three phones on his lap, all of which were running Pokemon Go.

    Restaurant websites that have the menu but with no prices. In this day and age? Come on now, guys.

    Business opened locally recently, it's a wine bar and so I'm not a target audience.. Yet. It has no opening days or hours and no menu for their nibbles/tapas. Every time I pass I'm annoyed by it, it's been feckin weeks

    We ate out for tea the other day.

    I ordered something off the specials board. Happy enough with it, and assumed being a Special it would be reasonable.

    It was actually dearer than most of the main dishes on the usual menu.

    What makes it a special then?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,663 ✭✭✭✭Dial Hard


    That our early-finish Fridays are done cause it's now September and so of course the weather is absolutely glorious today.
