    my ‘delivery’ arrived early. Got a notification saying I signed for it this morning apparently, I’d not opened the front door & no doorbell rang. it’s on the ground by the postbox in full view of everyone in the rain.

    A postal service, offering a two for the price of one in some areas… ‘drop and go in all weathers’ and electronic signature forgery apparently….’signed for by…’ ( my correct name )

    One saving grace, I’m grateful the jacket ordered is double bagged by the retailer, smart.

    TA by the amount of random stuff that I suddenly get doing when I have one specific task that must be done to a deadline

    When I was doing my degree, my house was never cleaner than when I had an assignment due.

    The Dude...usually "mature "who finally gets to the security luggage belt at the Airport and then realises he has to take off his belt and put mobile phone watch etc in the tray despite being bombarded by announcements posters etc while in the queue ....grrr.

    And they’ve usually been in the Q for a number of minutes, head constantly 45° to the side waffling the ears off whoever is accompanying them and then all of a sudden it’s like just like a rabbit in the headlights…. Trouser pockets full of coins 🤪, belt with metal, metal watch, phone, miraculous medal, all manner of combination of coats, jackets, still being worn… the number of times Im tired and yet behind one of these gimps and I’m just wanting to relax a while and have a sit down and a burger and drink before the flight, but… it’s 🤪..

    Its funny hearing all the different ways people pronounce storm Éowyn, even on the news. I spent half today digging out the root of a fence post that it snapped, so I just pronounce it storm Utter Bastad!

    The driver of the bus I'm on won't open the front doors at every stop until everyone has gotten off at the middle ones. Defeats the entire purpose, surely???

    TA, brand new 80inch flat screen TV that is only about an inch thick has its cable connections about 2 foot in from the edge. HTF are you supposed to plug in a USB device like a key with a film on it when you have to reach 2 foot into a blind gap about 2 inches wide. I assume the idea of a narrow screen like that is that you mount it nearly flush to the wall?

    btw not my TV just one I helped install recently and I have got a USB extension lead to drop around to the neighbor who owns it.

    Wake me up when it's all over.

    People who you vaguely know who don't respond to a message for months, then out of the blue send a message saying, oh sorry I never answered, I was just about to reply but got distracted by a gorilla on roller blades / my phone was eaten by a zombie / the reckoning happened etc etc, then immediately go on to say, but anyway, was hoping to ask a favour....

    Go fcuk yourself with a really scaly crocodile you gimp.

    I’ll share that TA,,, because I can’t be doing with unreliable communicators. And they always phrase it like it’s the most natural excuse…’one of the kids got sick’, ’car broke down’… ‘the cat went to mass and never came back’……

    Mutton head, I sent you a WhatsApp, all you had to do was send a three line reply which between formulation in your brain and typing and hitting send would take all of 90 seconds….….

    People in the lidl express queue with a trolley of about 40 things, and proceed to take 10 mins scanning and bagging, needing the assistant to come over and unlock the register multiple times. Meanwhile the express line is now far longer than just using one of the regular ones. These gimps need to marched to the nearest coastline and tipped into the sea.

    Sometimes the brits like to claim someone is british just because they work in the uk and are successful

    I see the state is splashing the cash again, this time spending €7000 per metre for a wall outside a government office.

    Of course no-one will be asked to explain spending nearly 500k on a wall. Great times.

    10pm I look out my window, it’s dry, it’s quiet, so coat, headphones, phone and ready to get a quick kilometre and a half of a walk around the roads, but as soon as I open the front door, I’m slapped in the face by a wall of freezing Irish damp cold and wind and I’m all of a sudden despite being bedecked in my winter best… nahhh, not tonight Strumms.

    I'll share pathetic excuses. We'd spent nearly a year trying to get paid from a Wexford builder for payment from a job we'd done, and had lost count of the calls, texts and emails sent. Gave up trying and had written it off.

    Out of nowhere he phones me all apologies, with probably one of the worst excuses I've ever heard. He said he'd lost his phone, that it must've slipped out of his pocket and under his car seat, he'd only just found it while cleaning his car and he even had to pay a mechanic to unbolt the seat to retrieve it. He said he'd honestly been looking to pay us all along, but that any subcontractors contact numbers and details were all on that lost phone. I was cringing just listening to his bullshiť.

    He then went on to ask about another project he had coming up that I might be interested in. "When would you be available to come down for a look"?

    "Sure Mick, no bother, as soon as the payment for that last job goes through, I'll be straight down".

    Stupid Wexican Cowboy!

    Maybe if they had more staff at the actual tills, things like this wouldn't happen. And I'm not just talking about Lidl.

    Maybe that humongous printer they had to demolish a wall for to make it fit into the building is actually capable of printing money.

    People with a full trolley in lidls who bag the items by category at the checkout. Store assistant sits there, probably unable or unwilling to point out shelf behind designed for such activities.

    Me with just pup treats and bathroom cleaner.

    No express lames in our 2 yo lidl store.

    Feeling shame heading to the deposit return scheme with a few bags of cans to get €20 back for 10 mins work. I've got to the stage where I put a 'cover load' of cans on top that are diet and the fanciest minerals to detract attention from the shame that the bulk of the load is mainly beer cans 😂.

    Those bl00dy little USB dongles for keyboards and mice. In a hurry earlier and grabbed laptop and noticed dongle for mouse was missing - couldn't find it :-(

    Wake me up when it's all over.
