    Thread is borked again, I repeat, thread is borked again.

    YAY! That worked.

    I'm trivially annoyed that I can't believe that the thread was borked, and then that your post caused its deborkation. 🤨

    Ha, definitely not, I'm a born, bred & buttered suburban Dub. It's common knowledge that it's common practice, though, despite the unofficial "Don't ask, don't tell" policy that seems to be in place around talking about it.

    Www is part of any webpage address and was given to me as the individual's email. So the resources used to call and confirm if the receiver had email were wasted, and the responsibility of a simple task like this was foisted onto me. Trainee would have known this was the incorrect format when they asked and didn't follow up.

    Family members flight lands…arrives slightly late, just 5 minutes I think…then the airbridge breaks down and the passengers are left sitting on the plane for 40 minutes before a set of stairs can be got to them… considering the size of the airline and their handling agent in Dublin…there surely has to be a spare set of steps and one staff member somewhere to be sent to get them quicker then a 40 minute wait..

    You'd be surprised at the lack of availability of staff members at times, I was on an Aer Lingus flight and we were told we'd have to wait up to an hour for a bus to take us to the terminal as 3 planes landed relatively close together at T2 and the airport is short staffed for bus drivers.

    Thankfully it was only about 30mins in the end.

    Scooters and bikes on the pavements. I'm always giving out about them. They fly past on a narrow pavement. ****! They seem to be everywhere.

    All kids now want e-scooters and bikes instead of normal ones. Obesity crisis dead ahead!

    The twat on my bus earlier who had a right go at the driver because he couldn't take a contactless card payment. It's not his fault and you're holding everybody up, move on!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,469 ✭✭✭Rocket_GD


    The heating being blasted on the bus this morning while we sat in traffic for nearly an hour with the sun blasting in the windows.

    After a horrible night of moving my bed around to avoid being hot boxed, the scheduled repair guy arrived on time.

    Took a second to fix the item and then tried to indoctrinate me on the way out! not even 10 am and all the usual red pill anti immigration rhetoric is being blasted endlessly at me, and now I have a headache and won't be able to shift all day.

    That there’s no music show like TOTP’s on anymore . That’s why I don’t know anyone in modern music . Bring back TOTP’s 😡

    Trying to figure out if we can mix and match the small Easter eggs in one of the German supermarkets, the cashier used vague language in saying it might be possible but to ask a staff member before going to the till.

    Mia when I asked who in the shop I should ask ahead of holding up a teatime q in the local branch! such a waste of energy asking at all.

    That a link to a fcuking betting site has turned up as the first link on home links page of my Opera Browser!

    Wake me up when it's all over.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,766 ✭✭✭✭Strumms


    checking one of my social media feeds and 4 of the first 10 posts that are presented to me are advertisements…


    Hotel booking site, food site, cruise line and a clothing and home wear retailer. No escaping anywhere from this BS. All over all social media, music streaming services and more besides..

    Probably won’t be long now before you buy a microwave and adds will start playing while your food gets heated…

    Stop giving "them" ideas!

    This is a new bork. Let's say the Continental Op makes a post and later on I make the next post after them.

    Then I come back to the thread after a while and see that there are extra posts after C Ops' and before mine. For some reason they were invisible to me when I was posting. This is becoming a common occurance on the site.

    Another annoyance, I see the scambags are not content with starting their own threads anymore. Now they are posting their rubbish in random threads.

    Had a delicious spider coffee this morning 🤢

    I'm wearing two pairs of warm tracksuit bottoms, I've a thick blanket over my legs, but my knees, and only them, have been feeling very cold since yesterday.

    People selling cars in Ireland and listing the mileage in miles, not kms.

    Means it's going to come up in searches where it shouldn't, and also a sneaky tactic to make the car appear more attractive.

    And it's not only private sellers doing it, lots of dealers do it too.

    DoneDeal should remove the option to list in miles.

    My laptop at home keeps shutting down a few minutes after I start it up, sometimes even less than a minute. It doesn't seem to be overheating so I don't know what the problem is.

    I can use my phone or tablet for the Internet but the laptop is usually better.

    At least I have my laptop in work. Except I don't! No Internet since yesterday morning thanks to a malicious attack on the server. That means I can't do most of my work, never mind doss from my work!!!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,385 ✭✭✭Bredabe


    The pair of brats bullying the new staff member in the local lunch spot/convenience. I feel the staff member is Ukrainian from his accent when he speaks and his colouring. He's probably 16.

    The youngsters' involved probably the same age or younger getting in his face asking why he's here and not at home fighting for his homeland, etc?

    God knows what that staff members background is but I know for sure those two loudmouths never took up a rifle or stone to defend their home!

    I want to be positive about things today and attribute this behaviour to the moon cycles, but 😡🤬🤬

    This shop has a high turnover in staff, but I feel I'll never see one of those working there.

    trying to ring a certain British high street pharmacy / healthcare shop. The one named after a type of footwear.

    It’s just not possible to contact a human there…. Having listened to the numerous options I press the appropriate option and get a voicemail…. A voicemail that’s full. It wouldn’t want to be urgent…ffs.

    Something in my eye.

    Being trapped at my desk on a glorious day like this.

    My runners shrank in the wash and they're just a shade too tight now.

    Having to meet someone after work when I just want to go home and vegetate.

    At first glance it looks like there's 10 in the pack, but there's actually just 4.

    I hate paying over the top prices for what's essentially, very expensive little bits of plastic. There's compatible ones available on Shein and the like for less than €2 for 4 delivered.
