    People wearing obnoxiously large backpacks on the bus. There was one woman on my bus this morning going around like the air hostess borrowing the guitar in Airplane. Take it off if you can't turn around without bashing people in the head, ffs.

    As an aside , I’m after emailing UTV news about their pronunciation of Deidre . I’m not called Deidre but it’s annoying when they mispronounce it as dear-dree . I think it’s a lack of respect .

    Mixing up keratin and ketamine when asking for a specific product in a shop.

    asked in a shop about a particular aftershave. The person working there hadn’t heard of it, ok.

    But then instead of them walking the about 7 seconds from the shelf to the computer…

    “ have ya got a phone der wit de picture? “

    I’m bemused but I pull out my phone and provide a photo of the bottle …

    “ no, we don’t, but I think we did, “ Errr…Thanks, that’s brilliant. i was going to enquire if they’d be restocking it but i thought better of it… could have complicated things entirely….

    You mean Deirdre? I'd pronounce it dear-dra

    Hate that you cannot rely on website opening hours for restaurants.

    Bring it to their attention and let them know they missed out on business.

    Facebook and Instagram pages might be more reliable but not always.

    Or leave a one star Google review - that will get their attention. If you get an apology or satisfactory explanation, you can always delete the review afterwards.

    That’s a bit extreme giving a bad review. I only give reviews based on what I ate and the service etc.

    If you've gone to trouble of travelling specially, it's very inconvenient. Depending on your interpretation, it can be categorised as poor service. They certainly should be informed.

    Learnt my lesson and now we always phone to make sure.


    Another annoying thing is we were going to book La Maison restaurant in Dublin and they wanted our credit card details, not a hope I’d do that.

    In fairness I can understand why they do that given the number of no shows restaurants get.

    They're pretty strict too. Full Menu price per person is charged. That's not cheap. Having said that, no shows are a pain - I can't stand dealing with flakes.

    Obviously if cancelling, it's better to do it by email as you have a record in case of a dispute.

    "La Maison Reservation & Cancellation Terms and Conditions Policy

    Please note, we require a valid debit or credit card number to secure all reservations made through our online system and for all parties of 5 or more when booked directly.  All credit card details will be stored securely on Stripe.

    In the case of a no show or a late cancellation (48 hours minimum), the full menu price will be charged per person.

    Any decrease in party size without sufficient notice (24 hours minimum), the full menu price will be charged per person.

    Groups of 12 or more require a cancellation of 5 days’ notice or the full menu will be charged per person. Drop in numbers must be made 48 hours in advance.

    If you are unable to honour your reservation, you must cancel it 48 hours in advance of the booking date by emailing us at info@lamaisondublin.com or calling 01-6727258."

    Now that I have changed my schedule and overcome, for now, the terror of the dentist, the pain and sensativity has stopped.

    Men and their grá for navy suits. It's like a uniform in my place - navy trousers, powder blue shirt, tan/brown shoes.

    Not so TA is listening to the radio in car and believing my Sat Nav . Rather than the straight way home it took me on the ‘senic’ route over the mountain . Two places I never want to be again . Clabby and Fivemiletown

    Also driving in Dante’s 9th realm of Hell , aka Enniskillen . Everytime I go there I swear it will be the last time .

    Is the soccer forum down? Find it a good way to pass a few mins when winding down after work, but seems to be a ghost town since the weekend.

    Are you looking in the right place? I think there has been a few changes.

    There's been a lot of posts since the weekend, especially on the thread for the new Ireland manager.

    Back in the day I would have never worn brown shoes with a navy suit, would have to have been black shoes

    I'm on the oldest, slowest, hottest bus in the history of public transport.

    Also, the girl beside me has a whistley nostril.

    a fashion / workwear retailer based in the UK, when I try buy a jacket it won’t accept either the eircode or address I enter here.

    I search the website, they haven’t any email address, they haven’t any contact phone number…. The only way to contact them is via one of those contact forms…. Which with those about 50% of the time you never hear back….and if you do, it’s not too efficient a response…

    tickets for the Greece game in the Aviva €55 - €80….

    And Greece play us off the park. 96 minutes played and Ireland have just 1 shot on goal…AT HOME…. and lose.

    However… in the FEW DAYS leading up…almost non stop photo ops and big fat smiley head social media carry on during the week from the Irish squad…. Perhaps just keep the heads down, cameras away, train….And then play a match. Like it used be….
