    On the topic, I was listening to some meditation material to help with my booming stress levels, (who ever said 2nd hand pot is free relaxation hasn't met me!)

    Was nice an relaxed and towards the end of the recording the voice told me I could choose to be happy or choose to be sad it was a choice!

    Now while I agree to some degree, its not always a choice(see hormones, unreleased stress etc) I really like that recording but victim blaming like that is more than a ta.

    I emailed a healthcare professional on behalf of a family member, there was confusion about the dates of a catch up test for an ongoing issue, the phone lines in their home are submerged and this makes calls over a minute sound like they are from outer space.

    Yesterday I got a response, repeating the info they had given before but not clarified the date for the retest, the freaking point of the email!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Another 2 day delay till they find time to email again, more than ta'ed that ppl dont read or are so literial that they dont see what is literally written in front of them!!!!!

    I took a chance that the bin men wouldn’t look in the bin as the bag had ripped . They did and didn’t take it . I have a day ahead of me to rebag it

    they apparently closed for the afternoon for a team meeting after 1pm… they errr couldn’t leave one receptionist / admin person on the desk ? Given it’s a fûckin primary healthcare facility !?

    was..nothing on their socials, nothing on their website, there was nothing on their voicemail…not even a sign on the surgery door…about a meeting pre-scheduled weeks or months in advance… lazy thoughtless, unprofessional shower, going downhill… they really don’t look professional or caring.

    pedestrian crossing that always just turns to red when I approach. Always a 3 minute wait.

    missed call from a 0044 number at 7.15 am this morning. Any UK number of family etc are saved in my phone under their name. So it was either a wrong number or a scam. Googling the number brings up zero results either way…

    Walking into a cobweb and it getting stuck in your hair. And then you spend ages afterwards feeling like it's still stuck in your hair.

    UPS need to work on their expected delivery window… item only picked up from Kerry at 10am and the window was 10am - 1pm. Still hasn't corrected!

    Fastway doing one of their hit-and-run specials yesterday. No knock,no ring, but I was expecting it and I know what time they'd come. Email saying 'left in a safe place [door]'. It is actually pretty safe, but you could at least ring the bell!

    The dropped slice of toast that always falls jammy side down.

    Prevent accidents like these from happening by leaving a slice of plain toast on the floor.

    I don’t know if they are in the South , but the constant ads for ‘ crash ‘ insurance with over the top Northern accents

    One of the items in the package Fastway delivered yesterday, from AliExpress, was a new screen for an iPhone I was given. Had a free bag of tools. Great. Not great tools, but hey. TA, only includes one of the two different special-tip screwdrivers need for an iPhone. Hmmph.

    Peanut bag sizes.

    There doesnt seem to be any multipacks. Its either a branded 50g pack or an own brand 200g pack, both priced about €1.50

    On that note , the difference between KP and own brands is huge .

    I’m not sure if I posted this before , but people who don’t have basic details on their Facebook page . That bloody people you may know keeps posting people with names I know . But trying to find out if they’re actually the person I know from years ago is impossible . Just put basic facts like places lived in / college .

    Lidl https://world.openfoodfacts.org/product/4056489823957/roasted-salted-peanuts-simply €0.52 TAed they were only 49 cents two weeks ago ;-(

    Not the best peanuts in the world, peanuts are a bit small but for the money they go great with a few pints.

    Wake me up when it's all over.

    I came across this rather horrific example of parking this morning while on the way to the bus stop. Diagonally parked up on the footpath, blocking it completely.

    Definitely one for the bad parking thread...

    Prosperous, Co. Kildare

    I have never been there. I have no idea why, but the name irrationally pisses me off

    It has become a "Prosperous" suburb of Dublin thanks to all the recent housing developments. An Chorchoill is the Irish meaning the Smooth forest. Curryhills is a townland of Prosperous and doesn't explain its English name.

    Another fact is the road from Clane through Prosperous to Allenwood is almost completely straight.

    Any of those type of place names bug me e.g. Hope.

    The generic advert on the radio that Kevin Hart has recorded for his new tour.

    you have a faulty car you won’t drive it, you’ll get it fixed by a qualified mechanic.

    you have a faulty oven you won’t cook in it, you’ll get it fixed by a qualified household appliance professional.

    why is my scum sucking fück pig moron neighbour, years later… still setting an alarm that they know is faulty ? That activates erroneously usually several times a week at different times of the morning, afternoon or night ? There are dozens of listed Dublin based alarm system specialists, easy to attain one, make contact, get quotes and set a time to get it repaired or replaced…ALL morning here on and off since about 5.30 am 🔈🚨🙄



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,912 ✭✭✭✭bodhrandude


    Perhaps they are pretending they're someone else who doesn't have an alarm problem.

    If it makes you feel any better, locally it isn't pronounced in a manner that suggests prosperity.

    "Praaaawwwwspriss!!" 😀

    The toast was already doomed once the jam was put on it. 😈



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 36,296 ✭✭✭✭odyssey06


    I think that pronunciation would trigger a different TA :)

    Tesco car park (sligo) is always full. A convoy of cars continously circles around waiting for somebody to pull out and hoping their timing is right to nip in.

    Ahead of me cars were stopping, half turning in, then pulling off again, once the whole queue reversed back to give them room. More like a military operation…

    When I got level with the space I saw what the problem was. A 4x4 was parked across 4 spaces. Literally a wheel in each space.

    Didn't have my rifle with me.

    Don’t ever venture to Donegal in case you land up in Muff . Although I believe they have a great diving club.

    This one is really specific - when you go into a Ladies bathroom in a bar or restaurant (or even work) and someone has clearly brushed their hair while standing at the sink, but not bothered their hole washing/wiping away all the hairs that fell into the sink. It's gross. Don't be gross, ladies.
