    Ah bless, as you say every set of ads from a person can tell a story. And undoubtedly it's a very sad story of what or who might have been in this scenario. Sad.

    It goes to show there's far more to life than TAs, & being slightly irked by them, not that posters don't realise this already, despite posting on here, but sometimes a post like yours reminds us of the more important things in life. Thoughts with the ad poster, I hope she's now doing well regardless....

    I was behind a car today with both brake lights not working. One of them was held on by tape.

    Only for they had one of those small lights in the back window people would be straight into the back of them.

    Yay.

    Down with the over-the-top Halloween decorations that are invariably obstructive when we postmen are trying to deliver letters, and the themed Ring doorbell replies to boot.

    All environmentally friendly and locally sourced of course.

    €3.40 for a can of Kilkenny in my local Dunnes. Absolutely disgusting price for what is essentially Smithwicks with Nitrogen bubbles instead of CO2 bubbles.

    Leaving Dunnes, I’m at a zebra crossing where one car doesn’t bother stopping for me and just drives straight through, much to my annoyance. The next car stops but as I’m walking across the scaldy f**ker driving the car revs his engine loudly in an attempt to try intimidate me as I’m crossing. I just looked at him and gave him the finger. Luckily for me, him and his equally scummy mates didn’t hop out of the car to give me a kicking 🥲

    heading to the shop, wonder if the same gimp behind the till will start to forensically examine the euro notes like he did last time… I handed the cûnt two fivers to pay for about 8 euros worth of stuff. And left standing two minutes waiting for my change as he couldn’t get the ultraviolet thing to work. I’ll get ultra violent if he starts that again….



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,818 ✭✭✭✭kneemos


    Who forges fivers. Only ever got it with fifties.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,052 ✭✭✭The Continental Op


    Kids. I've seen some really poor forged fivers. Done on the school colour photocopier or printer.

    Imagine how much scrutiny a till operator gives a fiver when there is a noisy jostling 30 deep queue of kids buying their lunch?

    Wake me up when it's all over.

    that’s what I found extremely odd. I haven’t summoned the energy to move off the couch yet but will report back if and when I do 💀🤑

    The bot accounts on here. What is the point of them anyway?

    They never give any good advice or contribute anything they just constantly state the bleeding obvious.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,052 ✭✭✭The Continental Op


    And often state the bleeding obvious 5 or more years too late.

    Edit> might be a training thing for the bot itself to see how good it is?

    Wake me up when it's all over.

    The mucky wet leaves on the pavement. I remember in my area a few years ago DCC had men out clearing them and doing a great job. Not any more.

    Babymoons!

    Just call it what it is… a weekend away / weekend break

    I'm so glad I'm past all this s***

    This makes me sound like Hyacinth Bucket but I hate people working in shops/restaurants/hospitals/doing PR for brands/etc wearing scruffy white runners.

    Runners are fine but at least make sure there clean.

    The whole James McClean poppy controversy that comes up this time every year….Katie McCabe is now getting in on the act.

    Ugh I have had it with this wet November weather. Every surface outside is permanently wet, you can't put anything down anywhere.

    If there is a spelling mistake in a thread title that is never rectified. Everytime you see it annoys you anew.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,818 ✭✭✭✭kneemos


    Spotted a Christmas tree up and lights flashing on the 3rd of November.

    Probably been mentioned before but bad manners by staff in shops. Browsing in one of the well known sports retailers yesterday I was standing checking a shelf for a particular size of item. The place was fairly quiet and although there was loads of space behind me a staff member crossed in front of me. I was going to say something but the way it is nowadays I reckoned all I would get would be a blank stare and be written off as a crank.

    Are they allowed on the site or should you report them?

    Report, we try to keep on top of things but invariably one or two leak through

    That is a bit much. I don't think I've even seen a commercial tree up yet.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 5,384 ✭✭✭blackbox


    Guinness were very quick off the mark with their Christmas ad on TV the day after Halloween.

    I've seen others since.

    Could they not at least wait until December.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 55 ✭✭I Cant Believe Its Not Butter


    I was surprised to see the Guinness one so soon...Its pause the tv time of the year,and get past those adverts



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23 Ahcrod


    Television channels where the advertisements take up as much time as the programs.

    Today, the lad I work with said that his mother (in her early 70s) had just sent him two photos. They were of her two newly 'installed' Christmas trees, one main tree and a smaller one for a corner of the kitchen. 🙄

    I haven't put up a tree since 2003.
