    A pop singer is in the news at the moment .the singers appearance is gaunt and dressed in strange way for weeks . The papers don't want to get sued so they won.t even suggest this person might be using illegal substances.

    I do an aggressively cheerful "Oh do you need a bag? I have loads" whenever I see someone not pick up after their dog. Shames them into doing it easily 90% of the time.

    since about 1 pm the neighbours cat has been meowing and whimpering at intervals of about every 10 - 20 seconds… for a while you don’t mind but it’s starting to grate to the point i just had to put my headphones on. It’s impossible that the owners of said cat can’t hear it as when passing.. their blinds are up, lights are all on and they are visibly in situ in their living room…. I don’t get why you’d acquire a pet, just to leave it outside pretty much 100% of the time making a racket and just go feed it when it gets hungry…..they seem to have no interest in the animal.

    I think they're in the 10%!

    Great strategy though, I've used it successfully in other scenarios, wouldn't work here tho, alas

    If they even looked up to acknowledge my saying that at all, it'd be to give me a blank bemused look.

    I've given up even nodding to, never mind saying hello to, the people I meet here, when out with the dog, or even going to the car.

    TA that the local kids have added graffiti and blowing things up to their repertoire of late. Nice to add to flying drones, fireworks, littering to beat the band and general loud nonsense right outside until the wee hours

    That's allright until you come across a psycho who snaps and pulls out a knife.

    Poor pet… your neighbours are utter bastards. They left him out during the storm, too, didn't they? Stuff like this makes my blood boil.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,773 ✭✭✭✭Strumms


    yep, they always sort of got laughed at and what not as they are kinda very eccentric and hippieish but I think there is a certain hmm sort of deeper unpleasant weirdness when you look past that……

    That it takes several attempts to connect to boards.ie on mobile data but I still get FB and Instagram messages that I don't want

    Ai images being used to advertise the new fantastic four film Disney is a billion dollar company they can't afford to employ an artist to make real photos ?

    Ai photos always seem to have defects eg people with 3 fingers

    Ai art on Tumblr theres loads of good real artists out there I have no wish to look at ai art images

    That must be Nigel with the brie...


    This will become the norm because it costs a whole lot less, execs won't care that it could wipe out entire professions overnight. Those AI Coke ads at Christmas were the start of it. One thing about AI created content though is that it cannot be copyrighted, so that might cause problems for these companies down the line.

    Driving on a dark road with a seemingly never-ending stream of cars coming towards you, and you can hardly see anything with all the headlights constantly hitting you.

    I ordered a take away and they said they'd be 40 minutes.

    I then got a take away for somebody else.

    I timed them correctly.

    I collected the second take away.

    The first one is 30 minutes late.

    I've now to bring home cold food.

    Yeah, because that happens all the time.

    TA for certain people who pack all of their shopping away while still at the till, thus holding everyone else up in the queue.

    From watching the Superbowl

    the player who does the kicking has nothing else to do for the rest of the game other than that

    I guess it's not as easy as it looks but it's a 'nice living'

    Ta. For people who spend ten minutes talking about their kids I don't give a damn about your kids I listen to this podcast to hear the latest news on the Xbox games released in the last month .



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,773 ✭✭✭✭Strumms


    In addition you see now the wans arriving at the till, phone up to ear, the rapid insincere smile to the staff member and they proceed to do everything at snails pace being one armed whilst everyone else has to wait….. and if the staff member has to ask them something the reply is usually along the lines of..”sarry hold on der Tricia, whaaaaaa luv ? sarrrry der? “.. as if they themselves are victims of inconvenience and not the staff member and a Q of about 8 people waiting. 🤦🏻‍♂️🤪



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,583 ✭✭✭apache


    Didn't say it happens all the time. A bit tongue in cheek but likely to happen more nowadays.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 40,209 ✭✭✭✭PTH2009


    When we getting the 'Joe ie news of Stevie from Westmeath who got into the superbowl with a ladder and had the craic'

    Seeing 2 vans, at different times, going around a roundabout the wrong way To be fair, one knew what he was doing, was a quicker way of getting into a shopping centre.

    The other fella was on his phone and didn’t think he’d done anything wrong until he went past an exit and was met with cars coming towards him from both sides.

    I can't get the heat into me today. Thought it was just me, but one of my colleagues just commented on how cold the office is.

    Also, how short the weekends are.

    Also, having to go to rehearsals this evening when all I want to do is go home and be at one with the couch.
