Just noticed I bought a bag of coffee beans instead of ground (and no I don't have a grinder) Grrr

I presume you mean broadband Internet connection ? Wi-Fi is just a wireless connection to the router in your home.

cj maxx · 03-02-2025 05:30PM

Yes Broadband . Its been off since the storm

Been there done that - managed to get them ground in a liquidiser. Didn't work perfectly, had to shake them about a but run the cutters then rinse repeat a few times.

That Spotify doesn't have a Shazam-style song recogniser built into it so you can collect songs and add them to your playlist while you're oot and aboot.

Or you can use a pillowcase and a hammer, if you need to get rid of some stress. 😁

"Sugar addiction is very common and cravings can be relieved by eating more x food groups or y groups".

Show me you don't 1. understand addiction 2. didn't read properly the word addiction! all the time not knowing that an addiction isn't about satisfying a craving(while part of, it's not the sum of it)

Ta'ed still, newly trained dietitians uninformed about the rest of the addiction behaviour,

My son first tried using a Pestle and Mortar, coffee beans everywhere - a TA perhaps :-)

Gremlinertia · 03-02-2025 09:47PM

Cannot remember if I was on about this already but - the **** is mushroom or magic dust coffee and why is it everywhere on my various online haunts despite my filtering and cleaning of histories etc?

cj maxx · 03-02-2025 10:18PM

TA is it's only after 9pm and I 'm could sleep .

I don't fancy waking at 5 am

Got up there for a little while. Decided to have a Wham bar and my filling came out.

The sheer amount of maintenance it takes just to keep this stupid body alive and in relative working order. Teeth brushing, flossing, interdental brushes, mouthwash, showering, grooming, physio, exercise, GP appointments etc etc. It's **** exhausting.

When you find something you want on Amazon and they won't sell it to you!

Wanted a USB C Flash Drive. Spotted a great deal add to basket and Amazon puts 2 in basket. Try to go to checkout and as I try to buy it I get a msg that my basket is empty. Should have given up then and there but after trying with different browsers and computer reboot later I still get the same error and can't buy it. At least I know better not to bother telling Amazon about it.

Americans, and not a few Irish, usually Millennial and Zoomer urbanites referring to cows in the masculine or ignorant of the difference between bulls and cows.

Yeah, that's so obvious. Although, all dogs are male and all cats are female, and mice are baby rats, right? 😉

My trivial annoyance is that I volunteered to go to our 'other' building to save somebody else from having to do it, but I reckon it'll be pouring rain on my return journey. ☔️

Stormont . . Isn’t that a terrible name for the Northern Ireland parliament building. It conjures up imagery of continuous bitterness and infighting. Pity it couldn't be changed to something more pleasant like Sunnymont, but then they never agree on anything, so they'd never agree to that.

We had a Sunningdale agreement in the North before, and it didn't work too well either.

NIMAN · 04-02-2025 03:09PM

Yip,...."we don't ship to Northern Ireland ".

How Google reviews are just pointless….gave a business an indifferent review last year only on the basis their hours on google were constantly incorrect & also don’t reflect correctly their public holiday opening..

Passing yesterday decided to purchase a couple of incidentals and at about 5.20pm the place is closed. Went onto their google listing & shows them still opening until 10pm…it would take a mangaler all of 60 seconds to log in and change it using the ‘special hours’ function. Supermarket does it without any drama, you can only think they don’t care. I never saw a mangaler in there that I can recall so not as if they are busy mucking in and giving staff a hand stocking shelves, on the tills or mopping floors.

Having to spend at least 25 euro to buy something on TEMU….

You don't need mouthwash with all that + it kills good bacteria in your mouth.

Strumms · 04-02-2025 07:50PM

neighbours back from their travels. Didn’t see them arrive. As usual with this lot they are ‘heard’ before they are seen, literally screaming at their pets as they walk in “ OHHH MILO, HALLOOOOOO HOW IVE MISSED YOU EEEEEEEE “ goes on for 5 minutes like that… yer wan must have been born at a football match as she cannot communicate with human or animal unless she’s in mega foghorn mode…40 minutes later as I’m typing this the cünt is sat outside in situ again, smoking under my air vent. Didn’t take long for normal service to be restored. 🙄🤦🏻‍♂️ as in within the hour they are up to everything poxy selfish, inconsiderate and annoying that they have been known for and some….
