    When people can't decide if they are TAed with new accounts or if they want to thank them ;-)

    Wake me up when it's all over.

    Racking my brains about a gift for sibling, impossible to buy for and says he doesn't want anything.

    New Tesco locally (atm hes unwell and as clingy as a toddler) so I figured I would pop in there while I was alone and get a voucher.

    No vouchers 😡

    Street light outside didn't come on last night. All the other street lights were on.
    So I reported it.

    I was out for much of the day, back now - street light is working.

    TA I don't know if the street light was actually fixed or not or if it was just an intermittent thing.
    The ticket I logged hasn't been updated.

    Online Voucher for restaurant he likes or failing that Ryanair vouchers are always a good idea if you are stuck!

    Ditto. I only fly with them under duress and if there really isn't any other option. Close second to Ryanair is Lufthansa.

    There's a German TV programme (action/police investigation stuff) called Alarm für Cobra 11 – Die Autobahnpolizei. I don't know how much their budget is for cars and explosives, but it probably surpasses the GDP of a small country. Every time I come across it they are showing a massive pile-up on the motorway, followed by explosions that wouldn't be out of place in a fire services training video. It seems there's at least one major accident in every episode, cars flying, etc. I swear the whole thing must've been thought up by a 12-y.o.kid.

    Wore a santa suit to work today as it was festive gift funny jumper day, tralala and stuff.

    Suit weighed about 100 grams max including beard, lovely and light to go over my human clothes.

    I've no idea what it was made of but bloody hell, you could walk to the Antarctic wearing only that and be perfectly fine. My body temperature must have reached 500 degrees at one point. Melty santa says hohobleurgh.

    Also, haven't been on linked in in ages, logged in today and it seems to have become Rip.ie, every second post announcing a death. Sympathy all round of course but is it normal to post a notice there that your granny has passed away?

    Sweaty santa doom scrolling death notices kinda day.

    If they did take the Russian assets it would do major financial damage to the EU. That would be cutting off their nose to spite their face.

    This time of year brings out the cranks.

    Some idiot in Centra complaining about "short dates" on a breakfast roll he just bought. Held up the queue for ages.

    Giving out that it says "use by today".

    Since when has hot food from the deli counter had a long date? Never.

    One of mine who got a temp job for the season, coming off their JA, now being asked to submit a form that has to be filled in by the employer by……..31/12/25!

    Hq offices closed yesterday and likely to be back at work mid Jan, what can they be expected to do with that!!!!!!!!!!

    Ta beside the obvious, it will be harder to listen to people who are giving out about u/e ppl not getting temp jobs at least.

    Latest clothing delivery that’s gone from sitting in the retailers warehouse for 3 days post order, to sitting in the courier’s warehouse for 3 days post handover to them….not time critical but obviously myself and this retailer have different ideas as to what ‘dispatched’ actually means… considering that’s the terminology they use in their latest email update yet…when you put the delivery reference into said courier website.. ‘ at delivery centre ‘…

    I picked THICK CUT rashers accidentally today and I hate thick cut 😩

    (was in Lidl & they don't sell the brand I normally buy)

    I don't even like normal cut, I only like wafer thin ones.

    Women who wear leather pants but fitted baggy, like slacks. They look like something someone would wear milking cows.

    That my Dad picks essentially Christmas week to want to try get rid of his old spare leather office chair, doesn't want to see it skipped but wants to donate it. One person who has shown interest and is about 15 kilometres away has no transport to collect it, my Dad is saying he'll get it to them…but presents to be bought, and in general shîtloads going on at the moment yet adding something else altruistic to the ‘to do’ list…delivering a piece of old furniture across the city ffs. Happily this afternoon he discovered it’s too big for his car, only just mind, but it’s staying put, as is he…

    The amount of Betting ads on TV is unreal and disgusting, especially for this time of the year. More4 tonight has loads of AI generated ones on at the moment.

    Got one ...

    Publishing a page of information when the entire page is redacted. What a waste of ink and paper when printed. And what a waste of everyone's time.

    Why not just say "Entire page redacted." ?

    Also on YouTube, every second ad is for some betting set up, they really annoy me with their sheer persistence. That Tonybet crowd do the most pathetic, tedious ads.

    I've been collecting glass jars with their lids to use again when making preserves. I needed a few more, smaller ones, so I asked around. I was given about a dozen of them, but the person who had them used one of these

    to open them, so all the lids are dented and are useless to me, because they won't seal properly. I can't find other lids that would fit, either.
