    The assault of advertising when you try to watch a sporting event.

    Yes but its still cheaper to buy the dam things because refills are a ridiculous price when you can find them and of course Lidl/Aldi don't sell the refills anymore.

    They don't even make decent copies of the traditional plastic saxa table salt containers. The little red spout/pourer always pulls out making it useless.

    Wake me up when it's all over.

    You can get the refills in ethnic shops. In any case, if you want to recycle the two parts without breaking them, you can still use that method to pull them apart.

    My hands are in shreds from having to wash them 3 million times a day. I use gentle soap, I make sure to dry them very carefully, I put on lots of hand cream every night and use gloves to do the washing up, but my knuckles still look like I've repeatedly punched a pebbledashed wall and the tips of my fingers are full of cuts.

    Now my local Centra has great Frank N Honest Coffee. Went in for some provisions today. Complete Bank Holiday Saturday mode

    a Clusterf*ck inside and mile long queue at the tills.

    Left without buying anything

    We had to filter our water in the past because drinking the water from the tap would lead to cracked and dry skin. Seems to be less of a problem now, but FFS, I wonder what was in the water supply.

    A company giving discounts on woman’s clothing because ‘international women’s day’..25% off.

    I google to see if this clothing retailer ( was originally set up as an exclusively men’s label ) was offering anything to us lads on the men’s range back in November for ‘International Men’s day’ 🤪. Ahhh of course not.

    Website has all the usual hokey… ‘inclusive’, ‘sustainable’, ‘ethical’, and this doozy…”confronting the social, economic, and environmental impacts of the fashion industry at large..”, 👀 erm, look, I just need about 8 - 10 new T-shirts for the summer, maybe spare me the BS and drop a discount our way, too or do I have to wait for the Xmas sales ?

    Total lack of thought by Vanilla for site design!

    Reporting Spam there are at least 5 posts on the home page

    So I report 2 and then get

    Why do I waste my fcuking time.

    Wake me up when it's all over.

    I know I'm on weak footing here as a smoker, I stand down wind, away from doors and never smoke where people congregate - I cannot abide stinky vapes. Please have a smidgen of awareness for your surroundings/involuntary victims of that weird candyfloss cloud.

    A fecking squeak has started to develop in my new runners, which I have meticulously taken care of since I got them. (not wearing them in rain and muck etc)



  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Regional West Moderators Posts: 61,523 Mod ✭✭✭✭Gremlinertia


    Feck did I really complain about it that recently?.



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


    I really don't know, Gremmy, I just know that the d.v. was unsettling.

    I bought a book last week on the English Peasant's Revolt of 1381 and started reading it. I was about a third of the way through but I get getting this nagging feeling that some passages seemed familiar. I had a root around in my book collection and sure enough I found the same book. I had read it about 7/8 years ago and completely forgotten. Oh well, there's 12 euro gone down the drain.

    Are you more settled now?

    TA lazy arses expecting others to shoulder the load

    That must be Nigel with the brie...


    That is a birthday or Christmas present for somebody 😉



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 335 ✭✭Charlo30


    Unfortunately not. It's already a bit dog eared. One for the charity shop I think.

    I don't know, Gremmy, I think I may have developed Traumatic Post Stress Disorder.



  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Regional West Moderators Posts: 61,523 Mod ✭✭✭✭Gremlinertia


    Dagnabbit try as I might I can't say those words in that order! Some sort of mental conditioning 😱

    I saw some dried mud on the inside of the car door where my foot hits against it so I tried rubbing it off with my fingers. It was not mud and it was not dry 🤮🤮🤮

    When you are sitting trying to enjoy the rare warm sunshine and are wondering if you should use skin protection, 1/3 of the way though March in Ireland 🙄.

    AI voiced videos with AI generated thumbnails. Certainly trivial and certainly on my list of things that should be banned.

    I got a sambo earlier in a deli (fried egg and white pudding) and while I'm not a stickler for a diagonal or horizontal cut, she cut it horizontal from the top down.

    If ever there's a sign of a serial killer it has to be that.

    More than TA that someone is trying to take ten mile when I've given them an inch , figuratively speaking, as it's well more than an inch I agreed to. Plus they think I'm stupid and that my opinion doesn't count . Sorry for the rant.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 159 ✭✭New Scottman


    Untied used condom on top of a litter bin near my house. WTF is wrong with people.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 31,711 ✭✭✭✭freshpopcorn


    I hate when you get a roll at a deli counter and bit of raw onion tuns up your roll without ordering it.

    My house is funny like that, when the neighbours are outside talking next door it sounds like they are right outside the window, sometimes even like they are in the room!

    I am starting to think that the Temu spammers are all just one person. From looking at their join up and banned times it seems like when one user gets banned another joins up a few minutes later and posts more spam. Rinse and repeat. 🤔
