    This explains a lot about Leitrim people. Always thought there was something suspicious about that county.

    watching the Irish girls soccer team getting played off the park in the US by the home team..second 4-0 loss out there , Irish team haven’t played at all well but they are fatigued. Saying as much afterwards…

    3pm local kickoff, 32°C at kickoff against the best side in the world. Two internationals in three days. Ireland literally from about 60th minute…cant play two passes together, from about the 75th minute can hardly run, just trying not to concede. Wonder has much changed as regards leadership in the FAI….! Request evening kickoffs and breaks between games or don’t bother going ffs.

    When humanity is eventually obliterated by AI the planet will be taken over by these starey AI clones.

    My TA today is that I’ve just entered the staff tea room for coffee and some peace and quiet after a busy morning , only to be met by the noise of incessant drilling outside.

    Time to put childish things aside.


    Tiz a mythical place, that appears for one day every seven years, when it becomes visible but still cannot be reached, like Hy-Brasil, only with extra fog.

    I knew it. I was told I was in Leitrim but I think I was still in Sligo.

    Crows that perch just in front of the LNB on my satellite TV dish totally blocking the satellite signal. They could perch on the dish or the pole but right in front of the LNB. I'd post this in the situational awareness thread but I don't think it applies to crows.

    Where there's a petrol station with two road accesses, people who enter and travel through the station in an anti-clockwise direction. Just enter clockwise even if it means moving to the next access otherwise it causes a mess at the pumps.

    When stuck in traffic and the car in front washes your windscreen for you. Annoying to have to use the wipers when the overshoot from washers from the car in front ends up on your windscreen.

    Although reminds me of when I used to drive a mobile gang of landscapers to site. The little bastards would get up to all sorts and one prank was to adjust all the washer nozzles so they pointed at the pavement then if there were people on the pavement one would lean over and put the washer/wipers on.

    Wake me up when it's all over.

    When you ring a local store and you get redirected to some central customer support centre who haven't a clue how to answer if it isn't part of their pre-written script. I rang a place with a specific question, and the person said they didn't know and I'd have to ask in-store. The whole f*cking point of me ringing is so I don't have to make a trip to the store.

    I absolutely despise waste. I've a few nice shirts I wear to work a lot but they've horrible yellow stains on the back that just won't come out. I've tried sunlight, Vanish spray, vinegar and repeat washes to no avail. They've quite old but it's a shame to just throw them away.

    They have stripes. No way my hands are that precise.

    I suppose if you chose a colour similar to the stripes but not identical (e.g. a lighter shade) the stripes would still show through. And BTW, there's a type of dye (Dylon, if I'm not mistaken) that you can just stick in the washing machine, it works really, really well.

    Businesses who live stream their customers on social media.

    I don't want the World to see me having my haircut or ordering food in a takeaway.

    Supermarkets (Dunnes) that can't keep their shelves stocked come evening. I mean it's chapter one of how to run a supermarket.

    I got my new van in January and today was the first time I beeped the horn (a friendly the light has changed beep).

    TA that it sounds like the road runner on helium.

    Also TA for the that the layout on boards on mobile has changed and now all the text in a thread is squished up against the left hand side of the screen.

    price of football jerseys… €100 now for new Adidas club shirts. Arsenal, Real Madrid, Man Utd etc…all €100.. You can buy a good Adidas gym tshirt for €18-€20 euros…. What’s the difference ? A crest & sponsors logos on it and slightly more detailed designs ? And €80 - €82 in the difference ! 🤌🏻

    TA still no sign of fixing the breadcrumb for threads so it doesn’t disappear when you scroll down

    Yep. You're paying to get advertising sold to you (you know, like the one you try to skip on YT but can't) and then you walk around wearing it like a human billboard.

    Mind you, I don't follow football so maybe that's probably why I don't get it.

    I ordered double the amount of dog food that I usually get because I wasn’t paying attention when I made the order. I don’t have the freezer space for it all so I’ll have to try cook all the veggies in the freezer this week to create space.

    The guy beside me on the bus is face-timing someone, presumably his girlfriend, but they're not actually talking, just staring at eachother. What the actual fcuk, like???



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,672 ✭✭✭Blitzkrieger


    Reminds me of a couple I saw in the pub on Sunday that just sat there for hours hardly saying a word to each other except for when they needed more drink. I get that you can be comfortable in each other's company in silence, but don't you have anything to say to each other?

    I honestly don't understand couples that do that - might as well stay home...

    I always look ten years older in the Barbers mirror for some reason.
