    The prevalence of the word "content". I feel like it's way of stripping humanity, creativity of soul from music, art, stories, etc for commercial purposes.

    The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself, for you were foreigners in Egypt. I am the LORD your God.

    Thought that replacing "cover(s)" with "knicker(s)" in song titles might be fun, but its not.

    'Knicker Girl'—Big Time Rush

    'Come Knicker Me'—Nightwish

    'Run For Knicker'—The Killers

    TA-ed.

    a very ^ good point, and ai can't process human intelligence to save it's circuits!

    I blame the "influencers" who couldn't influence their way out of their parents basement into a solid days work, with their "branded merch", and "reset" (in a world they have never experienced except on their game console), and "I normalize you!" virtue signalling nonsense…#67

    Look out, the Gods of society have spoken! Now get off my lawn before I influence you and your prissy jeans right into the bins!

    Signed, the bitter old curmudgeon that I am…. emm…. could someone direct me to the oulwans forum, I seem to have lost my way.

    A roofing company was here today to clean my roof. A proper registered insured company with quotes, invoices and very high prices.

    I did quite a few hours trimming my garden hedge then picking up cuttings and dragging over 10 bags to the communal skip for garden cuttings.

    What does my roofer who sees me sweeping, raking, cleaning and taking my money do? Flicking cigarettes butts off the roof down onto the ground. Then when he left and emailed me an invoice I looked out my small dormer window and see a cigarette butt on the roof That will roll between my clay tiles and be found one day in the distant future. Or roll into my gutter and what did I just pay for

    I'm told not to trust anyone who knocks on the door but when you engage a proper roofer they treat you like dirt anway 😡

    Earlier in the year there was an article from The Hollywood Reporter about the state of the James Bond franchise. There was an anecdote about a meeting with Amazon executives and Bond producer Barbara Broccoli. An Amazon exec referred to the Bond movies as "content" which apparently really annoyed Barbara, which isn't surprising as those movies are her father's legacy.

    Wake me up when it's all over.

    Possibly, though I find the "Pew-show" one particularly annoying . But it's also the correct way. Ask any French person.

    Have a chat with your local library, lots of branches have 3D printing facilities, hardware and software. You might not be given free rein with it, but it's worth asking.

    Why does any shower I have ever come across go from warm to scalding in a few degrees of rotation? They have 360 degrees to turn through, but you barely have to move the control to get extreme differences?

    Politicians writing condolences on rip.ie who add a line stating they can't come to the funeral. Big fecking deal!

    Not being able to choose what day an online delivery can come to your house.

    That the UK media have now added 'the P word' to 'the N word', as something which is not able to be spoken, ever.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,806 ✭✭✭It wasnt me123


    What is the P word?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,259 ✭✭✭Trigger Happy


    Sky TV.

    You can add on sports, movies and all sorts with the click of a button.

    But lord forbid you try to cancel…the hassle of cancelling is such an absolute pain and takes an age. They try to wear you down so you give up.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,110 ✭✭✭✭spookwoman


    They are not allowed to do that, Virgin got caught out a while back with comreg for making it difficult to cancel. If they keep saying is there anything we can do to keep you from cancelling tell them they can't badger you like that and mention comreg and virgin. They back off very quickly.

    Annoying me right now…

    Seeing a nurse being sent to the emergency department, to wait with everyone else, because she fainted at work (in the fecking hospital!!!)

    I don't care to be fecking honest.

    They get no company healthcare, no bonuses, no stock options and, to be honest, a very watered down pension (when you consider that the PS pension deducts the value of the state pension)

    The least they can get is expedited care when they fall ill at work, looking after ill people.

    i can't say!

    But to help, it was a UK politician whose family may have come from Pakistan.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 37,445 ✭✭✭✭odyssey06


    Give us a clue… perjorative term for people from Pakistan perhaps? Or Poland? Protestants?

    Not being able to recall the TA I had earlier that I thought 'I must put that on the TA thread'.

    Every single fcuking packet.

    On 2 counts. Most packets don't reseal.

    But my main bug bear is that the end you open at, is the end furthest away from the top slice. So you have to open all the way at the very beginning.

    Used to live in Bradford and you should here what the young Indian and Pakistani kids call each other. The P work would be used all the time often combined with the B word suggesting unmarried parentage.

    Wake me up when it's all over.

    After very close analysis I suspect you mean peal and seal my ass because the heat sealing of the package is off line and seals the peely bit down?

    Wake me up when it's all over.
