    A really, really weird TA - for about an hour today I felt like I'd shrunk and was about a foot shorter. I'm already a short arse but it was very strange.

    Also, sometimes when driving I feel like my car is lower to the road and I don't have a big car.

    That I have no idea what all the "Gary Barlow's son" jokes on Twitter are about.

    Also, how the actual FOOOOOOOK is it only Tuesday???



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,673 ✭✭✭✭Dial Hard


    Have just realised I already complained that it's only Tuesday.

    I'm very tired.

    Even though it's only Tuesday...

    When you get to Manage hit the right arrow. Should see Disk Space, Downloading and Deleted will be at the bottom. When your on that one you can go across and undelete the show you accidentally deleted earlier.

    Did I put the alarm on, or just think about putting it on…

    Can I turn it on using mind control? Nope, I'm not a Jedi.

    Now I have to go back downstairs.

    Was it Himalayan salt? It must have felt right at home, in the cold. :pac:

    TA is bread . I take a small loaf from the back of the shelf , but 3 days later there’s spots of mould on it . I’m going to have to start freezing a loaf and thawing a few slices at a time

    This could be true if you are a woman/female of a certain age. Once they/you start losing particular hormones the tendons shrink, causing a loss of inches in height.

    As this is a ta thread I'll mention those inches seem to compensate themselves as fat in the tummy area!

    Adjacent TA, most of the half-pans are nearly same price as full… I can get a full pan of own brand for less than a half pan of branded. And not every shop even has an own brand half pan option.

    Are you storing the bread somewhere humid \ warm? 3 days seems mega quick.

    F*cking opticians.

    I've been with one of the chains since 2012/2013. Grand but they fleece me each time. I expect it and the glasses are usually fine so it doesn't really upset me.

    Anyway, I get an eye test done in September and commit to paying over 600 pounds for 2 pairs of glasses. One pair arrives but they don't bother to tell me about the second pair. I'd a day off work in October for a medical thing and I ring about six times only for them to tell me before closing time that they're ready, too late for me to go and get them. As a result, I've lost a third of the 100 day guarantee.

    Anyway, I finally get them and it turns out that they're chewing into the right of my head. I get them adjusted and then one side is about 1cm closer to my left eye than the right, straining said left eye. I asked during the eye test about getting them online and they had the cheek to tell me that online retailers often get prescriptions or fits wrong.

    Anyway, after the third attempt at an adjustment I gave up and demanded a refund of both pairs. I'm just exhausted at this point and I just know that there'll be some funny business with the direct debit as well.

    Customer phoned wanting to order 5 separate items. Blurts out the list of items with no pause, I didn't even get a chance to grab a pen to write them down.

    So I repeat back the first item and then asked what's next, in an effort it to portray to them, that I needed them to slow down. Again blurted out the whole list, whilst continually nattering pointless information, such as listing off similar items that they already own.

    The whole thing took way longer, than it should have. I can't understand how some people make it through life, without such a basic skill of being clear and concise.

    I'm TAed that my wife always puts the bread in the fridge.

    I'm OK with bread in the fridge but it doesn't need to be in there and it takes up a massive amount of real-estate we just don't have spare in the fridge. Then when there are only a few slices left it gets pushed to the back where you can't find it.

    Wake me up when it's all over.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,673 ✭✭✭✭Dial Hard


    If there's already mould spores in there then all the bread you put in will just keep getting mouldy. You need to clean it with a vinegar solution and make sure it's absolutely bone dry before you use it again.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,673 ✭✭✭✭Dial Hard


    NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!! Bread should never, ever go in the fridge. A) fridge-cold bread is gross and B) the moisture in the fridge actually makes the bread go mouldy way quicker that in would otherwise.

    It never ceases to amaze me the random things people keep in the fridge unnecessarily. Crackers. Ryvita. Aromat. I've seen it all over the years. My other half keeps stuff like jam and pickles in the fridge. They're called preserves for a reason, like!

    Bread lasts way longer if kept in the fridge but we normally eat it long before it goes off so its a pointless exercise. Just because a couple of slices get spoilt occasionally my wife uses that as an excuse for putting it in the fridge.

    Wake me up when it's all over.



  • Moderators, Arts Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 78,115 Mod ✭✭✭✭New Home


    They're preserved also because they're airtight. Jam can go mouldy, too, as can pickles. Keeping them in the fridge after opening them will slow down the process.

    I also keep bread in the fridge for the same reason, but I also put it in a plastic bag (if it's not in one already) because the fridge will make it dry out very quickly otherwise.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,673 ✭✭✭✭Dial Hard


    You're all sociopaths.

    Pretty much every packaged foodstuff is airtight until it's opened and will go mouldy eventually. It doesn't mean they all need to be kept in the fridge!

    We all die eventually, too, but it doesn't mean we should go play on the motorway.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,673 ✭✭✭✭Dial Hard


    Should we all keep ourselves in the fridge too in the meantime, just in case it makes us last a little bit longer?

    But at what cost, New Home? At what cost???

    My TA about stuff kept in the fridge like Jam, Marmalade and Pickles is that once they go in the fridge they start a new life and can spend years in there with no one ever using them. Want Jam open a new jar and then shove it in the fridge and forget it. I'll try not to start on my sons BBQ and hot sauces. I found one that is dated use before 2022, its still fine but why is it still there?

    Wake me up when it's all over.

    So it turns out he's just really tall. Man, people must be bored.

    Tomatoes last longer if you put them in the fridge. But they become tasteless if stored that way. Much nicer at room temperature.
