    knocked over one of my new pint glasses… smashing it. I suppose a slight TH was I hadn’t filled it yet. That would have made the cleanup much more 🤦🏻‍♂️

    TA it's warm enough to sleeping the window open but the tractors are still bating up and down the road, the noise of them.

    (Yes I know farmers are working hard making the most of the good weather)

    I’ve a really sore spot on the roof of my mouth, right behind one of my front teeth. Also yesterday eve I picked up a bottle of Lomza Raspberry and Honey beer thinking it would be really nice but it tasted like washing up liquid. I dumped the last third of the bottle and went to the fridge to grab a bottle of Lomza Apple and Bisongrass beer which is really nice stuff, but when I took out the bottle it was actually another bottle of raspberry and honey beer. I pick up two of them by mistake instead of one raspberry bottle and one apple bottle 😓

    I got home from work at 4.30 yesterday so I sat out in the garden for a few minutes…until some engine or something starts up in a garden 6 doors up. It was still rumbling away 30 minutes later when I left to go to the shop, and I saw that a neighbour was power-washing the paving stones in his garden.

    When I got home it was still going, and didn't stop until 7.30pm. 3 hours of power-washing at a time when there are hose-pipe bans in place (although not in my county…yet)!

    I wouldn't mind but his garden is relatively small…

    power washers are a great example for the saying 'to a man with a hammer…'

    I have a neighbour like this. Powerwashing garden, cars etc for hours on end. Also has a human soup maker (inflatable hot tub) and leaf blower. Nice guy but loves his gadgets. Sometimes I think I need to sell up and move to the countryside, but it could be a LOT worse!

    I get the farmers agri / contractors roaring past too with silage equipment and sh*t spreaders. They occasionally park up nearby in convoys of 4 or 5 with engines idling and go to the local shop for breakfast rolls. It's something to do with hydraulics and pressure in the equipment that they leave the engines on so I understand why they have to do it but it's very annoying.

    In the country you can be stunk out of it when the farmers are spreading. 🙊

    Its nearly always the people that treat their (nippy) dogs like children.

    My TA: wife 'surprising' me with a night away in a hotel (that I was to pay for). Even though I told her my only plan for the weekend was to lounge on the couch watching sport, and she already knows that despite me hating spending money, that I already have to pay for her spa treatment away with her sister next week and a hotel stay and all the extras at a wedding the week after that.

    Literally thinks I'm made of money.

    Just say no. She's your wife, not your Officer in Charge.

    My TA is the dog not understanding that we have to wait til it cools down a bit before we can go on his long walk. He has me driven demented.

    I must one of the few in Ireland that doesn't use WhatsApp.

    Getting slight grief via text that I didn't reply/acknowledge something.

    Can you tell if the person you're messaging actually uses it?

    Yeah I think so, there should be a status beside your name "hi there I'm using Whatsapp" unless you change it to something else.

    Someone more tech savvy might give you more info

    I hate, hate, HATE WhatApp. It has the monopoly of messaging and video calls, to the point that people look at you weirdly if you say you don't use it. I don't use it, either. F%k it, if you can open an instant message in WA you can also open a text message. And most people would have free texts as part of their packages, anyway.

    Most first-world TA ever, but the awkwardness of being at home while the cleaner is in.

    We had a new one starting today so I had to be there to show her where everything was, answer questions etc, but it's so cringe. Feels like you're monitoring them or something.

    I have inexplicably been dropping arse gas baskets all day at home (all I ate was own brand sugar puffs) and they smell like an open grave.

    Due to their being absolutely no wind or air movement they're setting themselves up like museum exhibits all around the house :(

    I just walked into one in the kitchen that hatched about two hours ago and it was like being punched in the face by a gorilla.

    Ah ye'd miss the rain (and windflow)

    Six million freedom dollars she's getting tonight. Mighty impressive in any sport. Had no idea female boxing was so lucrative.

    Oh no. I grew up on a farm and I hate sitting around while someone else is doing manual labour. When we get large deliveries to the lab, I usually help the lads out as I just feel awkward just siting there.

    I got the tube home yesterday and some lad came barrelling down the steps and knocked a few people out of the way to get to a train. Some girls were almost knocked down.

    Have you ever signed up in the past?

    It sounds like people are messaging you because if you weren't on it they couldn't.

    The person sending the messages may not understand the send status symbols (one tick means it's been successfully sent to WhasApp, a second tick means it was successfully sent to the recipient's phone, and the two ticks turn blue when the recipient has read it)
