    The chilli powder I bought at the supermarket was not the normal wussy Mild Chilli Powder that I usually get. So I completely ruined dinner with it last night. It was completely inedible. I tried to eat as much as I could and I'm paying for it now with an upset tummy. I'm fine with a bit of spice but clearly not that much!

    Wake me up when it's all over.

    Having to clear up masses of paper cups of tea and coffee after people, many of them not finished. Same with plastic bottles of water and soft drinks, take them with you and finish them ffs.

    These stupid clear plastic cups with domed tops, who are they for? Why so much bloody single use plastic?

    People snapping coffee stirrers into tiny fcuking pieces and throwing them on the floor, what's wrong with you?

    Ah, yes. The good old technique of playing dumb and evading the question...

    Old friend / drinking buddy I’d lost touch with. Found out by accident this morning that he’d died suddenly at home last week.

    Looked up his rip dot ie entry and was very surprised to see him in the photo looking all of a sudden quite a bit older and quite gaunt looking at some formal event…

    Probably TA’d that I hadn’t made more of an effort the last year or two to meet up but that maybe could be said for the both of us….. fûck it….😏

    TA that people I worked with for years wont engage when I send text or email. Folks who sit at a desk programming 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, cant reply to a mail. I thought these were good friends and we shared a lot …. but I guess work friends are not true friends . What do they say about being able to count the good ones on one hand?

    Sorry for your loss Strumms …. it is amazing how people stay 'frozen' in your mind when you dont see them for ages, then seem old when you do (and maybe they think the same thing). Not a bad way to remember people….

    Tossers up above me throwing water over their balconys down onto my terrace. It really annoys me. Caught one of them in the act there and had it out with him.

    Inconsiderate of those living on ground floor.

    Women are much better at that "keeping in touch" type of thing than fellas are. I wouldn't be too hard on yourself.

    Guff about stuff, and stuff about guff.

    Reading a book I was not particularly enjoying, but got more than half way (sunk cost fallacy) I had to finish it. And I finished the book and it annoyed me even more.

    Guff about stuff, and stuff about guff.

    I had a missed call from housing . I sat up till latish , wordle and read a bit with no tv or burner on , went to bed and listened to podcasts with earphones in . If neighbours are giving out I don’t know . Maybe the light I had on annoyed them .

    Someone worked on a prince documentary for years it has been stopped due to legal action by his estate as it contains references to things to negative aspects of princes life .this is censorship. It's week known that most pop stars are not saints are always perfect . If you make a documentary you'll need permission to use some video footage of the music concerts etc

    I used to do that, once I started a book I would have to plough on and finish it no matter how bad it was. Now I realise life is too short to be reading rubbish and I have no problem ditching a boring book. My book annoyance is that the one I am reading currently has the sections at the bottom of the page in the smallest print I have ever seen. It is literally unreadable with the naked eye, you need a magnifying glass!

    Got home from work late today, so decided to get a take away, fancied some Burger King. Only after I ordered it I realised it's coming from town, I live in South Dublin and there's a Burger King around 10mins from my house. The one near me must close earlier so the order must defaut to one in town that's open, I wouldn't have ordered if that was the case, no way in hell that it's going to be hot by the time it gets out my way :(

    That I forgot to do euromillions tonight . As a Liverpool supporter my luck was in 😁

    You can put a hidden Killswitch in the car it disconnects the ignition from the car battery /power to stop car being robbed .

    I saw a missed call from a friend of mine yesterday evening. I tried ringing him back after dinner but he didn’t answer his phone. Afterwards I sent him a WhatsApp text apologising for missing his call and asking was all good with him. He read the text a while later and never bothered to respond 🙄

    Also, a few weeks ago I noticed some stiffness in my right knee any time I tried to lift my right leg. It’s now fully blown into agonising knee pain for the past week. I have to go and see my GP this evening to try get a referral letter for an X ray for it because it’s not getting any better.

    People on public transport who insist upon listening to loud music without headphones.

    This meme sums up my life, especially after the €626 gas bill I got today 😩

    TA, adults using "Lol" on discussion forums, even more so when nothing they've said is in anyway amusing or funny.

    TA that the young dog next door is going bananas because they've all gone out without him. He's barking and jumping up on one of the doors which is rattling. It's driving me mad while I am wfh.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,659 ✭✭✭✭Dial Hard


    I'm convinced some people don't actually know what it means and just think it's some sort of online punctuation. There's a certain cohort who'd report their terminal cancer diagnosis with an "lol" at the end.

    It shouldn't be possible to set an alarm for before 7am. Like, it should be illegal to make an alarm clock that will go off before 7am. If I have to do something that necessitates getting up before 7am, it should be perfectly reasonable to say 'That's too early for me dude' and get it moved. Meetings, flights, whatever. We've suffered under the tyranny of morning people for far too long!

    And I think I'm being very reasonable with 7am - really it should be 10am! There's probably a load of morning people who think I'm being unreasonable who all go to bed freakishly early.

    ....if they're not in bed already....



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,659 ✭✭✭✭Dial Hard


    I'm assuredly not a morning person, but sadly I have no choice in the matter of getting up before 7am. It's a bit easier now that the mornings are bright again, but fcuk me, the winter was tough.

    I accidentally left a hot tap in the bathroom on a dribble, now my plenty of hot water is just about lukewarm grrr…

    Tardiness. I don't like it in people, or businesses.

    I don't think I have ever, in my lifetime, been seen by my dentist at the time my appointment was for.

    Also, had NCT today. They took my car for inspection 30min after it's appointment time. And I was there 15min early.

    I can run on time, why can't you?

    I now have to download a third party app to track my clothing orders…company where I order my stuff were great but now don’t update you via email, used get a dispatch email & link to the courier page…but now I’ve another app to download and another password… as regards my order, exactly one week ago is when I made it & all I’m getting on this fûckin app since Monday…’items ready for dispatch’…

    If ‘ready’, they'd have just put them in a box and given them to the courier. So, they aren’t ready.

    Business obviously is now is using some shîte warehousing/fulfilment third party. It’s showing. 👎🏼
