    I just let the leaves rot and replenish the soil. I am obviously a radical greenie. I also only cut the grass once this year. And nobody died. I know, some people will be fuming at the thought of this and want to invade a country or something.

    Small gardens not worth the effort large gardens and I used to look after 4 acres full time they are an excellent tool.

    The little ones are next to useless but the large industrial ones will shift massive amounts of grass, leaves, hedge clipping and even snow far more efficiently than a brush or rake. Particularly handy on gravel paths where with a bit of skill and experience you can blow off the rubbish without removing the gravel.

    In a big garden I never bother collecting up the leaves except around the house and just blow the leaves into the flower beds.

    Wake me up when it's all over.

    People referring to Russians as Orcs, it sounds silly/childish.

    First they came for the socialists...

    Boxsets where the audio and video keep going out of synch.

    My TA is not knowing what getting borked or unborked is all about. I get it must be some malfunction but what happens exactly?

    oh and despite being on a particular site a zillion times you still have to check on “ accept all cookies”🙁

    When the thread moves onto a new page it gets stuck when there's only a few posts on it and cant be viewed - you still see the previous page. A couple more posts unborks it.

    The way Irish media drag up the same crap year after year as if it was relevant. Who honestly gives a damn about this anymore?

    The golf on Sky is the same. Audio behind video. Commentator urging the call into the hole but it's already gone passed.

    Waiting on an important medical report for months now. There has been roadblocks everywhere. Just been told it will take another 4-6 weeks. Very frustrating.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,273 ✭✭✭✭castletownman


    A cafe in town announced that its closing its doors at the end of the month. Has been open for a year or so and is one of many in town. Was there once and it was basic, and its USP seems to be that it was dog-friendly (although entirely indoors)

    I don't know about anyone else but hospitalities that allow dogs is a no-no for me. Certain people think that everyone simply loves their little moggie and must abide them during their own lunch break or whatever.

    Not surprised its closing.

    This is one for me. The technology exists for the cookie to remember that you have clicked "I accept cookies", but no sites implement it. It is so fudging annoying. I have a few extensions that block the "accept cookies" message, but if you are on a different machine, practically every website you go to is asking about cookies.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,845 ✭✭✭✭LambshankRedemption


    FYI, a moggie is a term reserved for a cat.

    I used to frequent a few places that were dog friendly on the continent, but unfortunately, I dont trust the average Irish persons dog to be well behaved, so I would not frequent a place here that was openly dog friendly.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,645 ✭✭✭✭suvigirl


    I love anywhere that allows doggies, most dogs I see anywhere are way better behaved then kids. I'd be much happier in a cafe that allows dogs,rather then kids

    Some parts of the health system in Ireland actually make people sicker rather than better. Hard to comprehend really.

    This ad that pops up on every news site, especially the intense starey head on yer man.

    When you point out problems in work and nobody actually cares or responds, even the people who are paid to care and respond. Even after weeks of the message sitting there.

    When Google maps sends you down a grass-lined road barely wide enough for one car never mind two.

    Or over a mountain on a twisty, potholed road/lane. Or into a dead end private farmyard 😠

    My trivial annoyance is people asking me to set up items and then to order them, but not giving me enough information. I ask them to clarify, explaining why I needed the information and giving tips to the sort of thing I need from them, only to be given more vagueness. And the third time? Still no better.

    I wouldn't mind if it was just one person doing it, but it's coming from multiple directions. And everything is extremely urgent!

    I recently wanted an alternative route to a place in my town (or at least to see how long it would be) by bike from my workplace, but it sent me through (or maybe over) a 3 metre wall. 🙄😄

    You should have de-selected the parkour option. 😂

    That Newstalk, a supposedly reputable radio station, gave over air time today to a 'paranormal investigator', who talked the biggest load of nonsense.
