    Extra bonus points if it's a female candidate wearing a skirt....ffs what were you thinking.

    There was one yesterday and fair play to the cameraman they moved the camera to view the hall to avoid the inevitable up skirt shot...then when it went back to the candidate they had a poster in front of her legs...though you could still see the top of her tights as her skirt was so feckin short.....I'm no prude but if there's a possibility of ending up on someone's shoulders, rethink the short tight skirt!

    You sure Prince Calla would agree with you?

    Wake me up when it's all over.

    Wonder if they did that with James Reilly. "Paging ten strong lumberjacks, ten strong lumberjacks to the counting hall please".

    I still have the image of him (Dave McSavage as him) from the end scene of an episode of the the savage eye rolling up a pizza like a swiss roll and just cramming it in in one go.

    TA of the day, i was waiting about 25 minutes for my toastie at lunch time, and as soon as he took it off the toaster, he dropped it on the floor :(

    They must love the current FFG leaders at the count centre. You could almost lift the two of them with one on each arm.

    I find the whooping and hollering and raised up on shoulders by elected TD’s so annoying

    They are voted by the public to do a job and paid well for it so what is this nonsense carry on as if they were celebrities .

    I mean does a nurse or teacher or bus driver carry on like that when they get a job ?

    Have not done anything strange or unusual to it but my knee suddenly has a bunch of fluid on it and feels unsteady 🤬

    It is strange behaviour when you think about it, the only other area it takes place is in certain sports.

    I cant believe this is still happening after the Arsenal team literally dropping winning goalscorer Steve Morrow ...consequence broken arm and missed cup final.

    The almighty stench from our dog when it farts. We often have to abandon the sitting room for a good ten minutes.

    the usual acquaintance or friend I don’t know how to describe them but they initiated a conversation with me on WhatsApp about 90 minutes ago, they reply about every 12 minutes. Meanwhile I’m just picking up reading …messaging… picking up… reading…messaging as I’m available to. This delaying act, 🤦🏻‍♂️ they share a flat with a flatmate so not like they are with 2.4 children, a husband, floors full of toys, a dog and a budgie. Well you wouldn’t keep a budgie on a floor, but still….

    People in small-ish WhatsApp groups who are on permanent radio silence, apart from they might send an emoji once every few months.

    Having to de-fluff socks before you wear them. I've a load of pairs that always for little lumps of fluff on the inside after washing. If you don't turn them inside out and clean them out before wearing they become annoyingly uncomfortable.

    Wake me up when it's all over.

    That's me. I hate WhatsApp groups and generally leave them as soon as I can, but sometimes for political reasons it's easier not to, so I generally have those on perma-mute and just throw a reaction in when I'm told I should.

    Email exchanges……folks, one hi is enough……no need for hi, hi, hi, hi…….on every bloody reply.

    Simple: Hi Mark, thereafter it's just Mark……

    I don't even use hi. It's good morning, afternoon or evening for me…

    Shops screwing customers. A wood product I've been thinking of buying in a soon to be liquidated "hardware" store has been available for months for an unchanged price of €28 per item with a recent deal of 20% off. Seeing they now have a liquidation sale since the weekend I popped in today to find they are now €35 with 25% off. Some "sale" that with an actual increase of 17%.

    Could you not leave a note on the door, or a customer instruction, so they know what to do with it in the time period you're not there?

    My TA: my underlying hip issue flaring up again. Stiffens up after any prolonged stay on the couch, can't lie in the one position in bed without it throbbing and have an obvious limp as the day progresses. And can't take any period of time off due to the Christmas silly season.

    Those tiny, awfully sore cracks on fingers and on heels. My hands are like a cheese grater despite all the hand cream. My feet are something out of a horror movie. Feck it.

    Reminds me of when Argos called it a day here. I thought there would be a clearance sale and I could grab a few bargains, but there were no price reductions, instead they seemed to just ship all the stock to NI.

    I'm probably going to TA you here but do you do stretches like 90/90s and clam to help extend range? I'm only getting into this in my nearly late forties 🥴

    I never heard of those before, so I looked them up and tried them - is the "clunk" sound at every rotation meant to be normal? 😬

    Got a coffee this morning served in a square cup, which of course dribbled like a mofo.

    There's always room for innovation and new thinking in the world, but i think cups are one of the things we had right.
