    Everything you hear in the attic sounds a size larger.

    A spider sounds like a mouse

    A mouse sounds like a rat

    A rat sounds like a small dog

    A squirrel would sound like a large dog in your attic.

    People unwilling to control their spawn kicking and hitting the plane seat in front of them.

    People who pull and drag the seat in front of them to get up. And no they looked fit enough to me not to do that.

    People who look like they've never been on a flight before and have nothing prepared for security, passport control etc. Fcuking about, rooting in bags etc.

    People that think they can hear a spider in the attic ;-)

    Wake me up when it's all over.

    I used a spray bottle this morning. I put it down to pick something else up and now it's nowhere to be found. Drives me nuts.

    TA that I can't find the 'Ryanair, Ryanair, Ryanair' megathread, what forum is this normally in. Speaking of which, I know its taboo atm to mention anything with Xmas but the earlier I book a flight to Scotland for Xmas the better. My problem is using the Ryanair website, most of the booking online works grand, its just when I get to the credit card/debit card info. When adding country of residence to the debit card info I try to scroll to Ireland but as soon as I hit the scroll bar the box disappears, I can't manually type in or add country. Its probably down to me using a touchpad rather than a mouse as I presume you can use scroll wheel to get to the country of residence, but alas I don't have a mouse. I was wondering if anyone else has that same problem. I usually use Chrome to book the flight in, was wondering if I should use Firefox or Microsoft Edge to do the booking in.

    Story of my life. Always putting something down and forgetting where. It drives my wife mad. This morning couldn't find my wooly hat (for my wooly head) when I was taking the dog for a walk.

    Wake me up when it's all over.

    Yet another youtube TA.

    The amount of videos where the shot is reversed so for example a right handed person is now left handed and anything written in the original video can't be read. Suspect they do it so its more difficult for the content owners to track then down.

    Wake me up when it's all over.

    TA I have had a twitch in my left eye lid for several days, not constant but really very annoying.

    The one thing that annoys me about YouTube although to be fair it's not their fault

    Say I google a minor computer problem like looking for a setting etc. Instead of writing 3 or 4 lines of text and be done, someone has to go off and make a 10 minute video on YouTube explaining it 😁

    (and naturally they're at the top of the search)

    There,s spiders in every house they do not make noise rats and bats will make noise .

    Snl is now on sky comedy sunday night, is it just me, SNL used to be funny in the lonely island days, when adam sandler was on it, now it all seems to be woke politically correct sketches that are not even slightly funny .its like its now be written by ai. I have no idea who most of the cast is apart from maya rudolph kenan thompson the actor who plays Joe biden.maya rudolph can be funny when she plays beyonce and kamala.

    any random sketch on youtube from snl from the 80,s or 90s is 10 times better than a sketch from the 2024 cast.

    is it just all cool gen z comedy or is this program now totally mediocre

    SNL was never really funny . Even in the 90’s . Though it’s a mainstay of American tv comedy so everyone blows smoke up their ass to use an Americanism

    My eye has been tearing up for a while. I went to wipe it with a tissue earlier and poked myself in the eye.

    My suspension trainer has disappeared….went to set stuff up for a home workout tomorrow evening but despite looking in every drawer, press, bag, under my bed….It’s nowhere….i haven’t used it in weeks but when I look to get it 🤷🏻. It’s a 9 ft strap, with brightly coloured accessories and attachments so not something that just can disappear into the ether very easily.
    I’ll loan / give anything to virtually anyone but people whom acquire my stuff without asking, no.

    My neighbours always put their bins out, directly in front of my house. Not really a TA because I assumed it was due to the fact they have a car parked on the road outside their house, so they put it outside mine so it won't be missed. Fine.

    Until today, when I have a car parked on the road outside my house and they have their 2 bins right beside that car, in front of my house. Gonna be TA every Tuesday for ever more….

    Put out your bin first and plonk it outside their house.

    Amazon changing your search!

    I'm looking for a WiFi storage device, or a WiFi device that has a USB connection for sharing. So typed wireless file sharing and wondered why I wall looking at loads of DIY tools turns out Amazon decided I really wanted to look for cordless file sharing.

    Wake me up when it's all over.

    I did a bit of tidying up on Sunday evening, which at one point led to me blindly putting my hand into a corner to pick up two screwdrivers. Something dodgy caught onto my middle finger, but when I looked there was nothing there, except the screwdrivers…and blood threatening to gush on my finger.

    It turns out that there was also an old-style razor there (but not the cut-throat type), which my finger had displaced and flicked out of view. I stuck my finger in my gob, found a plaster and covered it. Grand!

    Yesterday I did a bit of shopping and when I got home, the plaster was gone and And I was bleeding again. It must have happened towards the end because there wasn't blood on anything else, but I got to see the cut for the first time, which was a nasty U-shaped thing. At least it was only my left hand.

    Conclusion: Nothing good comes from tidying up. 😄

    one of my favourite clothing labels, online. I’m looking at winter coats / jackets, they have only 9 different styles, it’s usually about treble that and what they do have, about 80% of the sizes are out of stock. One coat I fancy has only XS and XXL available…

    It’s October, we are a heartbeat from winter, competitors have everything, lots of styles sizes etc…. But not this crowd, what gives ? 😵‍💫

    Its amazing how often I could have a parcel small enough to fit through the letter box and the recepient will always be home, yet I could have a larger box for same person (like the three I had today in prep for Christmas) and they'd never be home.

    They alone took up about a third of the space in the van hauling them around for 3/4s of the day, and having to go through the rigmarole of returning to the depot and processing them since the customer didn't leave a contact number is a big TA.

    People who are so **** busy running around in circles getting nowhere but generate loads of work for others to cleanup.

    The bloke that does the skoda radio ads seems to have been to told to knock it up a notch and now sounds like an annoying parody of himself.

    If im gonna spend 40 or 50 grand on a sccchhhhkodaww unyigwigyak im not going to be pressured into placing an order nine months in advance because apparently they're running out fast.

    Shove your high pressure sales tactics up your enyak you annoying gimp.

    Have a plaster on my right index finger because the nail is in bits, trying to give it a few days.

    TA I'm going through loads of plasters, cos I have to keep taking it off for fingerprint recognition for phone & apps!

    a certain website I’m trying to read on my tablet, but the pages after loading start bouncing / scrolling themselves and then for a couple of seconds are stuck. Very TA’ing….
