    I think some school uniform can be a bit strict.

    However I never understand why parents send their kid to a school and know the dress code. They then complain when they are sent home because they sent them to school dressed the wrong way.

    watching the competitive football match between France vs Italy… Italy come from a goal down to win 2-1 away.

    Killian Mbappe the French forward is despite having just lost in front of his own fans…. At the end of the match going around hugging, kissing, smiling & pissing himself laughing and standing there having the friendly chats with the opposition players… like honestly not two fûcks are given after what’s supposed to be competitive, cutthroat rivalry between Europes footballing superpowers, annoying to see… shake hands & if you want to do social yapping, to the dressing rooms and have a catch-up.

    I get an invite to watch a live on tiktok, out of boredom I look in, it’s two people I follow, in a packed pub / club, you can’t hear a word they are saying with the music and what not… would the pair of yas, not leave the phones down, get on with enjoying your night and give up the obsession with being on tiktok livestreams !?

    I see on the fellas profile he’s now describing himself as an influencer… that’s a one way ticket to get me to block / unfollow anyway, so, good luck ! 😅🥱

    That Kranzle powerwasher ad . . with the bloke shiteing on in his fake German accent about what you can Kranzle. I always expect him to say . . "Your wife too could use a good Kranzleing".

    A very trivial TA , but is Sorcha ( Irish equivalent of Sarah ) pronounced sore- sha , or as I always thought sore-ka .

    It’s just I knew a girl called Sorcha ( sore-kA ) but I don’t know now which is the proper pronunciation

    Also heard it pronounced "Sor-ha" with the emphasis on the second syllable.

    Similarly with the family name "Geoghan". I've heard "Gee-gan", "Gee-han", "Go-gan" and something like "Joggin" depending on where in the country they hail from.

    When you pre pack your liquids at home in a clear zip lock bag only for security to tell you it's the wrong bag and present you with a slightly different clear zip lock bag to pack all over again.

    one of Irelands well know jewellers… im looking at watches and establish that on their website, you cannot now shop watches by gender 🤪 … just by case type, price, brand and dial colour, I’ve tried the filters from the other drop down menu and no..if I’m looking for a man’s watch, me being a man, why do I gots to go through about 15 more pages of stock that I can’t be interested in ? The most stupid piece of time wasting. I’m trying to give these people money but they are determined to make me doing so, thoughtlessly difficult.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,587 ✭✭✭✭cj maxx


    The only time I’ve heard Sor-sha is when people from Northern Ireland say it .
    Colin Murray on Countdown called November Sam-hain not Sowen and a lad from the north I knew in England used to call an Tutha de Dannen ? Tutha ( not Tua ) de dannen just out of ignorance by not learning Irish in school .

    And if your name is Orlaith you’re screwed

    I didn’t watch it but the fact Grealish and Rice scored is very annoying



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,487 ✭✭✭Vote4Squirrels


    I watched it - Rice had the decency not to celebrate a bit, Grealish went off like he'd won the European Cup.

    We were muck! TA - a team getting snotted who then try to play it out from the back like we're prime 1990s Barca.

    And our manager reminds me of Stuart Pearce, very TA!!!!

    I used to do that on purpose when my school changed their tie . Great craic pitching coins in the hallway 😃

    Short soft o sound and soft-ish ch sound, not as harsh as ka.

    My TA is a name is what somone is called - if it's 'translated' it is no longer their name as it is not what they are called.

    Them candles to repell midges . . The last two evenings we attempted to sit outback with a drink and enjoy the last few rays of sunshine we're probably gonna see this year. We had seven citronella candles on the table yesterday, not worth a toss . . they actually seemed to attract the little fcukers.

    Hastily retreated back inside to the fruit flys who at least don't bite.

    I saw this TA in the "You Say" section of the Sunday Times Culture magazine and thought it apt for here…

    Would the producers of Coronation Street please put some liquid in the takeaway drink cups they give to their actors. From the way that the actors carry and gesticulate when holding the cups it’s so obvious that there is nothing in them.

    Been on the Star Wars "Bring It Back" revival.

    At every showing some kid reads the starting "prologue" bit out loud, and their parent doesn't shush them.

    Some bollix leaving off fireworks at this time of the evening, driving my two dogs crazy.

    Also, there’s a shed door that keeps slamming loudly all bloody day. The owners obviously out all day and totally oblivious to it 🙄

    Happening around here last 10 days, one night it was after 11 pm… been a ‘mature’ area around here but as older folk are dying off a lot of young families are moving in, let’s just say, parenting isn’t as fashionable as it once was…. I was reminded with a TA of my own last two nights.

    2 more work bugbears.

    a) Emails
    People who use a work email for non-work communication and when you respond, you get an automated reply stating that Jimmy Olsen is not in the office at present or will be away until next week, so contact John/Jane Doe in case of emergencies.
    The fact that you have an email address with @warrenlawyersandlegal.ie doesn't impress me. Just use a personal email address or any of the myriad of burner email providers you can find online.🤦‍♂️

    b) Meeting clients in person/Phone calls with clients
    There are 2 staff members who seem to insist on ''hanging around'' when I'm meeting with new clients or on the telephone to clients. I'm not working for the CIA, lol, so there's no highly sensitive information at play here but if I wanted their involvement I would ask for it.

    There was another thread a while back, I think it was called 'videos you keep going back to" that I believe CJ is referring to.
