    people who are constantly calling in favours out of their own indifference or laziness…It’s tiresome…

    people, including my offspring, who despite many entreaties to the contrary, keep making a plural out of you, yous…….aargh!!


    p.s. same with euros. The plural of euro is euro!!

    too late to watch a movie, so ended up watching a comedy live performance by Micky Flanagan on Netflix. 🤦🏻‍♂️ Gave it about 15 minutes before just finishing up. I’d only really seen him on UK panel shows..

    Standard relatable ‘observations’ by a cockney lad with an over-dramatised central London style and accent…15 minutes I won’t get back… being relatable, fine yeah the trip to Tesco, barber, tube etc…. But fûck, being relatable or sharing everyday observations does not equal funny.👎🏼

    In my local yesterday evening for a couple of pints during the match. Had a prime seat close to the bar, happy enough as it was wedged, full of blow-ins from the capital.

    Got up to get another pint, it was a clear as day that was my intention. As soon as I took two steps away from the seat a couple vultured in and plonked themselves down, no questions asked. Now there was a lad I know at the bar so I stood there chatting to him after it happened, but I was peeved.

    A couple of mins later, the fella in the couple went up to order a drink and I politely said 'eh that was my seat by the way'. Looked at me up and down and with a south county Dublin accent said 'roysh' and couldn't give two shites.

    Pricks like that seem to be drawn to the pub when rugby matches are on.

    Should have just got your pint and plonked yourself back in between them, especially if it's your regular bar

    TA - I've got the wrong bread to have baked beans on toast :-(

    Some things need to be done right and standards maintained. Hovis Malted Granary Bread is to thin to soft and doesn't toast well enough to do beans on toast; it absorbs the "juice" to quickly and goes soggy. Hovis Granary is good but the gold standard (in brown bread) is Hovis Thick Granary Bread.

    Note my previous post ;-)

    Apologies if I've just created a brand new TA for anyone by saying "juice" in reference to sauce the beans are in.

    Wake me up when it's all over.

    So I've just spent an hour tidying up my "study" and no luck finding that little dongle. So thought I've enough none working junk I'll chuck the mouse out. Obviously removed battery first and what did I find sitting next to the battery?

    At least I've tidied up a bit ;-)

    Wake me up when it's all over.

    People walking or jogging who play their music, podcast or radio out loud. It used to be just teens but now it is mostly middle age people and older.

    That sounds like the type of classless entitled snob who would also be in being rude to the staff and regulars during the grand national. I reply to @castletownman

    The fact that it is still hit or miss whether your quoted post will just appear as a normal post or not is very annoying.

    Too short a timeframe. Those teens would only be early to mid 20s by now. The oldies seem to be copying them.

    On the train to Dublin with a really dodgy stomach at the moment 🤮 The young one sitting to my left has an extremely irritating high pitched laugh and I can’t drown it out with my AirPods as they’re completely dead.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,534 ✭✭✭SuperBowserWorld


    I was mostly joking. It seems to becoming the norm not to use headphones. Which is strange since earbuds are very cheap, small and very convenient. It's especially annoying on public transport where you are stuck listening to the *******

    Stats would suggest that this age group is entering the hearing loss period and is unaware or in denial.

    Ta next door was mad into their smoking last pm, the house was soaked in 2nd hand smoke by 6 am, just got all the smell and pollen out of the house and they have started again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! + The house is freezing from having to have the doors and windows open.

    Ta2 bc of the windows are open all the rat running traffic is making a racket and sparking my dyspraxia irritation at predictable noises.

    My car broke down yesterday evening. About five minutes after the auto parts shop closed. Not open again until Tuesday. Why couldn't it have happened a couple of hours earlier.

    The headache I've had all day that feels like someone has the bridge of my nose in a vise. Entirely self-inflicted, sadly.

    When you're eating something and you actually think too much about it. Like I decided to have some tuna mayonnaise on brown bread....it tastes nice but I got the idea of the actual fish in my head 🤢 and also theres sweetcorn too. Sweetcorn on bread?? 🤢🤢

    Fella beside myself and my husband on a flight last week had the audacity to ask the air hostess whether she could fix a watch he had bought on their flight a few years ago. Poor hostess was like....'eh maybe take it to a jewellery repair shop?' What a loon. He also bought 2 qtr bottles of prosecco about 20 minutes out from landing. Which he of course couldn't finish. And just airports in general - people just lose all common sense when they pass through the doors of an airport.

    Had a horrible anxiety attack early this am, still feeling it in my head and tummy. Sib walks into where I am having breakfast and asks why things don't work when they are needed?. (possibly because they don't do follow-up on anything) and starts waving some gardening gaged that makes a horrible noise x2. It seems to be fixed now as they have left the room.

    Ta that in a house with rooms that don't have me in, this is the one they choose to make noise in for the few minutes I have for food!

    Glasses. I have a pair that are literally perfect in every way but they're six years old so they need replacing. I don't know if there is something wrong with my face or whatever but the sunglasses I just got are closer to one eye than the other despite looking straight on the table. I returned two sets before Christmas and now I might have to do the same since no high street optician, no matter how pricey can fix this by the look of it.

    I feel like I'm being taxed because I was born on a full moon or something. Hundreds and hundreds of pounds, thousands in the grand scheme of things and it's always a hassle.

    Have you tried putting the spectacles under the sunglasses on the table to see if their angles match those of the sunglasses?



  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 41,619 CMod ✭✭✭✭ancapailldorcha


    No. Good idea! The spectacles aren't ideal as they keep slipping. With my luck, getting them tightened will break something else.

    Maybe tightening the nose pads or changing them (if that's what they're called) might help with that. Specsavers can take a flying jump, as far as I'm concerned.



  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 41,619 CMod ✭✭✭✭ancapailldorcha


    No nose pads. I specifically bought ones without nose pads as they get manky and they get bent far too easily.

    woken up circa 6am by the sound of my neighbours bin being sent flying and if that wasn't enough the associated laughter and screeching from the dweeb perpetrators who were obviously leaving a party somewhere and couldn’t resist disturbing people in the dead of morning....nice one 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

    Thing was, public holiday or otherwise Monday is not a bin day here so the gobshîtes in the property put the thing out by mistake. So dumbness / idiocy on two levels….costing me about an hour of sleep. 🩸🗡️

    Barman should have sorted that for you if he was any good ?

    Great expression "vultured in"..must remember that one...very descriptive !

    Brought my dad's bag of random shrapnel coins to the machine in the local petrol station 12.5% surcharge but he's happy with that as he doesn't want to carry around five kilos of small coins. Pop them in the machine, all good and get the payment receipt.

    Go to the till and hand the cashier the receipt, he looks at me and says is this a joke? I raise an eyebrow and he says, is this like a code or something? Has something changed in the shop since I started work this morning?

    Hands back the receipt and it's a penny's receipt for a seven pack of deadpool design socks. I gave him the wrong slip of paper and now he thinks I'm a lunatic
