    some young wan on tiktok… stops to film herself reviewing a takeaway coffee from a kiosk up in Dublin airport. Who in the name of jaysus wants to look at that…? but she’s delighted with herself. 🤪 all insincere waffle, toothy grins, pouts and head tilts into the phone. Thinks shes ‘massive’…

    Then she starts maintaining she has to go as she’s already late for work. She’s an employee with that Irish airline ☘️ and her green uniform and ID lanyard is clearly visible….How much of a colossal eejit must you be to go on camera and admit you are late for work but stopping to make a tiktok about a coffee ? Even if the ‘late’ part is BS for the video… the optics for her employer and their clients are not positive…

    My TA on a busy day, patients arriving very early for their appointments - I give you an appointment time for a reason - that’s when I’ve said I’ll be ready for you - please don’t clog up my small reception area as I could have service users, who don’t like a lot of chat/people around them / and like space and quiet. Don’t phone me 10 minutes before your appointment and tell me I’m not open and you are at the door - I don’t care (probably still finishing my coffee and getting ready). I will open and let you in at your appointed time, which is why I gave you a time.

    Getting Off a plane, getting put onto a bus that then drives to the end of the airport building, goes round the roundabout, back down the airport building only to stop at a door directly opposite the plane you just got off. Why!!!!!!

    A hero jogger out running the (windy, hilly, quite busy) road with no hi-viz in very poor visibility. Genuinely nearly hit her. On the same afternoon a cyclist got hit by a car only a few miles away.

    She is obviously new to the area, because she should know that it tends to get foggy very quickly when the rain descends over the hill.

    Maybe give your Olympic feats a rest given the weather no?

    I tried lifting something I shouldn't have and ended up flat on my back on the wet grass like a drunk ape. Thankfully nobody saw it ☺️

    One song on YT, it's 2 mins 36 secs long. 2 unskippable ads before, three during (I swear, I counted them - each 20 secs after the previous one!), another one at the end. I'm ready to throw the phone out of the window, and this is why I prefer a hard copy of my albums.

    Can someone recommend a good adblocker that wouldn't steal your data and that would work on Firefox, please?

    You can use an app to convert youtube video to an mp3 file and it wont record the ads. if you make an appointment for 9am ,9.30 am you,ll be the first in line to see the dentist.

    If i play a video file on my phone the sound is 3 times as loud as my radio or music player . I had to go to sound settings reduce volume by 30 per cent.

    No spare jacks roll, bad when the other roll is near the end. Whatever about your own gaff it is even worse if visiting someone else.

    No excuse not to have a spare roll ready!

    Guff about stuff, and stuff about guff.

    The fact that Matt Cooper and TodayFM think that a bit of busking is going to end homelessness.

    If only the government had thought of that years ago, they would have avoided a pile of flak.

    Don't talk! There was seven or eight of those users on here this morning spamming the heck out of the site.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,389 ✭✭✭Bredabe


    Did an online course and was thrilled today that they're putting more on an app at 9.99pm, I had some questions about how to pay that sum and if I could pay a few months in advance, etc.

    Given I had a bad night and the petrol smell from next door meant I had a real muzzy head this am, I so wasn't in the mood to fill in the three pages of questions Ive already answered to get to this info. So I sent off a message to ask if there was a way to access this info without filling in those questions again.

    I got a lovely step-by-step walk-through of how to fill in the form so I could get to the part I needed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ta, if I had asked for this kind of support, it would be ignored, now that I only need one section's info, I get the full story but no new info on my questions.

    AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

    Covers entire front page this morning….. Isn't Vanilla remarkable! /s

    Not sure about it stealing data or not, they claim to "regularly obfuscate all personally identifiable information in our logs" either way, this extension does work well in stopping all those nasty, targeted ads that I used to be bombarded with, suggesting i somehow might be a good candidate for a penis enlargement . . . How did they know?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,189 ✭✭✭Deregos.


    There're some really interesting characters who post on Boards, who you'd love to know more about and what their story is, but it's not polite to ask.

    I wonder if there was a rule in place that a new poster must have the first few threads that they start given the once over by the admin before they are posted on the site, would that put the spammers off 🤔

    I tried Adblock, but youtube refuses to play any vid until I allow ads… which really destroys the mood when you're trying to relax to an asmr meditation vid and an abrasive, obnoxious voice screams out what you should be buying, jarring the nerves!



  • Moderators, Arts Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 78,090 Mod ✭✭✭✭New Home


    Great. This thread is borked, too, now...



  • Moderators, Arts Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 78,090 Mod ✭✭✭✭New Home


    YAY! Un-borked. 😁

    I might have a torn ACL, I’ll need an MRI to confirm it. I can only walk very slowly at the moment with the help of anti inflammatory medication and pain killers.

    I am not poking fun at you Sgt but your post reminded me of this clip

    Get well soon.

    Disposable salt grinders that don't even grind the salt. Its you I'm calling out Lidl!

    Note: Mill>Not Recyclable

    Wake me up when it's all over.



  • Moderators, Arts Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 78,090 Mod ✭✭✭✭New Home


    Actually, it can be reused, you just need to place the mill part in very hot water so you can pop it away from the glass part.

    I'll see if I can find the clip that explains how to.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,660 ✭✭✭✭Dial Hard


    The Lidl ones used to just unscrew, so were easily refilled. I agree with TCOP, though, the grinding mechanism on them is shìte.

    I just use my salt straight from the pig. Well, fish, in my case. If I need it smaller I just grind it between my fingers, and if I need fine salt, I have a separate drum of that.

    Picked up a potato gratin in Tesco and turned it upside to read the cooking instructions. It was punctured and leaked all over my jeans. I normally wash my jeans Saturday night but decided to get ahead of myself and do it last night instead. It was a clean pair that got destroyed.
