    Does anyone in your family use the word "No"?

    I find it to be a great sentence.

    My TA for today is not getting any money from "New Scottman". He/she/they had my hopes up!

    I'm wondering if you had to wait until 2010 to join, just to cover that whole height aspect. 😊

    imdb! When I don't recognise the actors the one piece of information I want to know is what language a film is in. imdb "hide" that at the bottom of the page.

    Wake me up when it's all over.

    My green bin was stolen for the bonfire at Halloween. Post man puts in the black bin now which is not very pleasant but better than the brown.

    But he does leave a note in the door.

    Little knick knacks robbing me bin

    I know it may not help, but male model Fabio being hit in the face with a goose while on a roller coaster was something that made me laugh for ages.

    Sadly the goose did not survive 😕

    What was supposed to be two quick pints in the local turned more into hunt down the bartender - probably a message to me to go home but I was far from the only one waiting

    People who go to hand me their phone. I don't want to handle your manky phone, who knows where its been. Testing has established that phones are some of the dirtiest objects around with very high bacteria and viral counts. So just show me whatever, but don't give me your phone.

    Bought a double bed frame awhile back and had a double mattress. What they don't tell you is there is a European double and a bog standard double mattress, the European slightly wider. I have a gap around the top of the bed showing the frame and my little **** of a cat had just copped it and squeezed in. The little diva he is, has him having a meltdown because I won't hold up the mattress for him to get out even though he has plenty of space to get out the same way he got in.

    Gardai wearing baseball caps. Who came with this stupid dress code? It looks so chavy and unprofessional.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,221 ✭✭✭RiderOnTheStorm

    I have a black cat like your's, and she is just as mad and manic. Next one will be a nice peaceful tabby.

    I'm off work tomorrow so I thought I might have my Friday fry on this morning…except the fridge in the canteen failed overnight and they had to dump all of the meat…so bye-bye to my fry. (I would have risked it, though!)

    Bobby Fingers did a thing about Fabio.

    I was looking around for a side gig, got a nibble and was offered multiple 6 hour per day shifts! when I looked at the timing often there was only 30 mins between shifts which were highly physical(I like physical work but am injured) so not ideal currently.

    Ta sib who chooses what they do all day, takes numerous naps , is calling me lazy and refers constantly about how he used to work on his feet 8/5/359 for years, bc I dont think I should take on all that on.

    Went to my doctor a few days ago who gave me a sick cert. I'm still not feeling better and I rang her to see if she can extend the cert for another few days and she said no problem. I just got a call from the receptionist to say that the cost of the cert extension is €40. Un-f*cking-believable. Literally just changing the date on a cert that already exists and emailing it. Scumbags.

    Or when you show them something on your phone and they touch it/take it from you. Just use your eyes for God's sake, no need to put your dirty hands on it!

    Duvet covers that only open half way at the bottom.

    My Dr only charges a tenner for work certs. €40 is terrible. It dosen't matter about the changed dates.

    Booked the "3:30" expressway from Sligo to Dublin.

    Noticeboard in Sligo sez it will now depart at 16:01

    Probably because of the cold weather I got a prompt in the car to add air to the tyres.

    I have a compressor that shuts off at the set pressure.

    2.2 bar at the back, 2.4 bar front - 3 are correct now but one is not (2.3 instead of 2.4) and it's annoying me

    Paying for petrol. Its getting as bad as waiting for someone to move their car from the pump while they do their weekly shop!

    Filled car up today and there were a few in the queue to pay for petrol plus of course people paying from stuff from the shop and deli. I noticed that the quick self service tills also allowed you pay for petrol. Tapped pay for petrol on the screen and tap pump number. Screen says €50.01 pump 5 (my pump I can see my car next to it outside) and €70.01 pump 6. This makes no sense as I put in €70.01 at pump 5. Anyway tap pump 6 and pay €70 in notes. No chance of a free 1 cent worth of petrol so put in 2 cent coin. Its rejected. Put in another 2 cent coin, nothing happens. The machine still wants 1 cent but has had 2. Eventually get the option to cancel the transaction get my money back including the 2 cents and queue up. Guy at till says did you try and pay over there (self service) I said yes and he went over to do something to get it so he could take the money at the till. I explain it wouldn't accept the odd cents - get told it never does, it doesn't work with the odd cents. WHY ffs!

    About a week ago, I accidentally dropped a tub of tomato soup when taking it out of the microwave, and it went EVERYWHERE. Today, in my jenga carrying style coming back from the shop, a ketchup bottle fell to floor, burst and went EVERYWHERE. Dr. Marie Cassidy wouldn't have encountered splatter like it.

    Additional TA: on way home from shop, I stopped in the local tyre repair garage to get a look at a softening tyre. Was busy enough, and like everything else there is a queue system. Into the car-park drives a woman in her Landrover with a horsebox attached, and I just knew she would be dangerous (a lot of horsey types are a-holes). Basically demanded to skip the queue because 'she was in a terrible hurry'. Thankfully the office manager didn't fall for her shite and she didn't stay, but serious sense of entitlement from her.

    Another SUV TA, this time parked in the disabled spot at Aldi, because its a bigger space, of course. No blue badge, but loads of other, empty, parking spaces. They could have had an entire aisle to themselves.
