    … One to mention to a councillor next time they are knocking on doors, or take a picture and email to them?

    I thought there was some council provision for getting onto homeowners to cut back stuff hanging over paths.

    I was talking to a customer service rep in a car hire company and I asked if my chosen car category had cruise control. He didn't know what cruise control is and said he never heard of the term. How the f*ck can a person working for CAR HIRE company have never heard of cruise control before. It's just baffling.

    Ha ha these peeps barely know what day of the week it is....I think they practice the rictus grin and the vacant stare to get themselves outa trouble.

    Even worse when thick hedges, bushes etc are hanging out so far that they obstruct your view up the road so it's a risk to try to make a right turn on to a main road.

    Councils couldn't care less

    in hindsight I think I had Covid but didn’t test.

    It's the property owners responsibility in fairness. Not to say the council maintain public property perfectly either.

    The ones I'm talking about are public footpaths with no houses near.

    To be fair, it's mostly in Derry I see this, so it's Derry City Council I'm getting at.

    Constant "this clip contains strong language" or "this clip contains disturbing scenes", when they contains neither.

    Latest one is Trump cursing on the Indo site. Except you don't hear a curse, it's bleeped out.

    And the disturbing scenes cones now are basically anything. Years ago you might have seen a dead body in the clip, now you watch it and think, "where was the disturbing scene?".

    Last Christmas my mother wanted me to get something nice for my father (A Galwayman) since he was near 80. She told me to look for tickets for a Saw Doctors show.

    I then decided to get ones for summer concert in Fairview Park, as a fall back. Only problem is I didn't check GAA dates it clashes with the All Ireland Football QF on Saturday. Dublin v Tyrone.

    I am a long time Dublin fan. Will miss the match now. The worst part is that I won't be able to steer clear of the result and watch it later. As Fairview Park is near Croke Park. I am bound to hear the result or even see the body language of fans.

    The fecker of an auld fella is already winding me up telling me. “Sure you will hear the roar in Croke Park”

    @gormdubhgorm last year I went to the quarterfinals in Croker & then walked down to Fairview for the Saw Doctors. Once it doesn't go to extra time you will fine.

    Cllr walk by the house on their canvasses and on their group walks to school, I assume they all know the landlord and dont want to get involved.

    Still smothered, and I have the rest of the week off work. Typical. Going to build myself a blanket fort on the couch and not come out for the day.

    When someone inquires about something, so you phone them back, they don't answer so you leave a voicemail mail carefully explaining all the info they need.

    Two seconds later your phone rings, "Hi I got a missed call from this number…" The person clearly hasn't listened to the voicemail and has no clue why you rang them. Then you have to re-explain everything again, right after having to waste your time, sitting through listening to the old "the Vodafone customer you are calling, is not available..."

    For the love of god, please listen to the damn voicemail, before ringing me back, you're wasting both of our time!

    Over zealous zip closing!

    My OH has this fixation that all zips have to pulled ultra aggressively.

    She would never have survived a "Wenger" jacket, or rather, it wouldn't have survived her.

    Bad and all as it is with clothing, I am now looking at three torn zips on those bags that go into the washing machine. Can't wash the young lads jerseys now because I have to do them inside out and inside these bags to protect them.

    TTTAM!!

    My Dad still leaves a voicemail any time you miss a call from him. We all stopped listening to them years ago, I'd say I have 17 million "DH, it's Dad, you might give a call back when you get this" messages in my mailbox. I would have done it anyway as soon as I saw the missed call!

    I’ve had 2 teabags burst on me today, so mildly irritating.

    Mostly pointless and waved by attention seeking ninnies. I was watching it on the TV one year and some dope kept blocking the camera with an "I like sausages" flag. Get the bus. 😠

    3 junkies sitting outside near my bedroom window the past hour wrecking my head. Looks like they're camped there for the night.

    Singing and shouting and being complete scumbags. I really fancied an early night tonight. If I went out to them and asked them to keep the noise down I'd get a rock through my window.

    See through/translucent dog poo bags.

    Yuck.

    Supposed to be biodegradable too.

    Yeah, in about 10,000 years.

    this is both trivially annoying and hugely hilarious(i thought)…in work yesterday,my turn in the control room watching the cctv,girl walking a big dog across the pavement outside,looked away for a couple of minutes,next i see is the dog assuming the position,by the time i got outside both she and dog were gone from sight but left behind a pile,now have to say was impressed with the size of the pile!!anyway had to get it cleaned,our landscapers were working so went looking for them and their power washer,on the way back with one of the lads and the gear we spot a "phone zombie" on direct collision course with the pile,we shouted but no luck…he finally noticed when he was up to his ankle!!we kindly offered to power wash him as well…he did ask what kind of dog could leave something that size,told him was a chihuahua…

    yo! donnie redacted,vlad putin,benji netanyahu..you sirs are the skidmarks on the jocks of humanity!!!

    Does he do this with the zip on his pants too? He could be at risk of a nasty accident 😱

    There are some great hayfever meds going cheap in Mr.Price at the mo. I picked up a few of them and was worried they'd be gimmick fluff but it is good stuff.
