    What are the odds… I got the same agent as the last time! How much do you want to bet that they only have a couple of people working there?

    Now, with a generic, non-technical question about T&Cs, what the hell do you need my PUK for?

    fabulous day out at the cricket in Malahide, however on the way back around 5ish some lad crashed his car into an ambulance who was on a call. We must have got to the crash minutes after it happened because the gridlock we experienced was only in and around the incident and no Gardai or other emergency vehicles had got there yet. Driver of the car looked not too good… but looked like his fault as he came from a side country road and out into the side of the ambulance travelling on the main road. 🙈

    that is my experience whenever I buy books or music items online. You'd get something from Asia / Australia quicker than from some Irish sellers.

    Just a follow up, the seller got back eventually claiming they didn't get paid. Seems like one of those people you couldn't tell anything to. As far as I can gather (from Google etc.) eBay changed their seller rules in the last year so you may not get paid until a tracked parcel is shown delivered. Their feedback has nothing sold in the last 12 months.

    But Go Tobann a few mins ago I got notice of an unasked for refund. I don't know if the seller cancelled or eBay did as no evidence of dispatch within the required time.

    I'm TA because I wanted the item but at least my €120 is coming back…it's above my loose change threshold 😀

    TA lack of tomatoes, or barely cooked ones! (I'm with whisky galore). I mean, fair enough if you don't like them, but if you order them they should be cooked decently, not just warmed up!

    Informing a healthcare professional about my environmental situation, they kept asking location question(they have my file!) and then kept saying that the community should be dealing with this and it shouldn't be left to a woman my age!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I completely agree but what does my age have to do or help in this sit! saying this repeatedly doesn't make me any younger or magic up a neighbour who has the guts to call the confidential no to get the ball rolling.

    Forgot this one, we changed ISP about 8-12 weeks ago, 2 weeks ago some sites I visit often started blocking me if I look for more info on their offering.

    Ta that if it was going to kick up about the new address, why wait this long and not tell me this was the issue. Ta2 guess who is going to have to input the new address on all the devices!!

    When I was a teenager we had very basic camera phones.

    We were all text and trying to chat one another up.

    This girl asked me to send a picture to her of me in my Birthday suit.

    I was like "l didn’t get any clothes for my Birthday".

    The shame.

    the whole purpose of updating an app is to make it better… more efficient, more secure, more sleekly designed, more I dunno….just better…

    Updated one of my favourite apps last night that’s just turned into a totally user unfriendly, crappy, crashing mess of a thing now. Working perfectly on my tablet but on the phone it’s 🤦🏻‍♂️

    Noticed at the ploughing yesterday how almost every young lad these days looks the same (Mullet or Fade Hairstyle, GAA Half zip top or Gilet, skinny jeans or tracksuit bottom with no socks) - it was like an army of them were there!!

    The same goes for the young ones - skin tight black gym pants with fleece or North Face puffy jacket……

    Sheep following sheep…..must be a Gen Z thing 😏

    Usually find them rock hard, raw pretty much. Not even warm in a lot of cases.

    "Cooked breakfast" the clue is in the name.

    Older generations have been copying each other endlessly, god forbid you wear something that's not the current "uniform", chronically afraid of standing out.

    Eg north face/gym+coffee/jeans, t shirt and hoodie combo.
