They use the low fat one as the base to make the Garlic and Herb version.

Standard Philadelphia: Full fat soft CHEESE, salt, stabiliser (guar gum), acid (citric acid)

Low Fat and Garlic and Herb both use: Medium fat soft CHEESE, garlic (1 %), salt, herbs, stabilisers (guar gum, carrageenan), acid (citric acid)

It's either lots of healthy living, AI or lies.

When leaving the bin out is the highlight of the day. 🤣

pricks who wear their glasses on top their head, and who tie their jumpers around their shoulders. Michael O’Leary pricks!!!

Just finished work, cleaned up kitchen, off to Lidl to get some food now. Highlight of my day! 🤣

emailed a business and get a reply now, telling me their inbox is full and that my message hasn’t been delivered. Another bunch of fücking twats who no doubt want you talking to them on X and Facebook…as opposed to simple, proven, reliable and effective….Email… we are weeks after Christmas so no excuse for having a full inbox for your customers to contact you…

You have just sprayed your windscreen when a moment later a lorry flies by and splatters it with dirty water.

freshpopcorn · 22-01-2026 02:36AM

The constant talk about the dangers of social media and the internet in the media.

Ya, we get it.

Strumms · 22-01-2026 03:06AM

like to be able to lay and chill talking to a friend on WhatsApp but their ADHD is apparently flaring up so about every 30 minutes for the last 3 hours me receiving photos of their tidying and cleaning escapades… the fûck I’m meant to do with that ? About the third time I ran out of small talk and witty platitudes, now I’m just.. “ ohh nice tablecloth, ok yeah that chair, you moved it, sitting and stuff , great."

Found my credit card an hour after cancelling it

Dan Steely · 22-01-2026 04:35AM

Lost my driving licence somewhere in the hospital. Replacement process is a hassle.

Tonight, a second sleeping tablet is not working. Leave for a family funeral at 8am.

Dan Steely · 22-01-2026 04:37AM

Did you and put a hold on it?

Driver overtaking another vehicle at an absolute crawl going well under limit, taking forever to pull back in to the left afterwards and using the entire length of the climbing lane. The rest of us wanted to pass too you twat. I swear it was done just to piss off the drivers behind them.

Another motoring gripe, doing somebody a favour on the road and they won't even acknowledge you. Supertwats!

It's the go to for all of life's ill's.

The shingles vaccine is free for over 70’s in UK and many countries

Oh of course not in Ireland . I read it and apparently it was recommended to the Government but they deemed it not cost effective .
Its two doses at €250 a dose . So basically only those with money can be spared a very debilitating illness

This is the same Government who waste millions on feckin bike sheds etc

I keep hearing that we are one of the richest countries in the world. Not that the average citizen would ever know it. 🙄

wildwillow · 22-01-2026 12:59PM

Yes, I'm about to get the shingles vaccine. I'm lucky I can afford it. I also was just told I should have an over 70 Doctor's visit for free card. I could manage well without it and would prefer to see the shingles vaccine made free for those on limited means than giving all and sundry the over 70s card.

Maybe I'll change my mind if I have more than my current one annual visit.

I've had shingles twice, once in my late teens when there was no real treatment, so I know the seriousness of the condition and wouldn't wish it on anyone. The vaccine is also reputed to protect against dementia, so another plus. Surely these preventative measures would be saving more money than the cost of the vaccine?

I think the woman living next door turns into a dinosaur when she gets home, she thumps around her house like the ones in Jurassic park, last night they had some friends in and they were the same thum thump thump for hours. Then we have the endless slamming of jeep doors for what felt like 10 instead of 2 hours!

Ta ppl who used to different environment dont change their behaviour to suit the it, esp as this is a community in mourning, and has several residents with age related illness trying to sleep and grandkids visiting!

That reminds me - the splash of freezing, muddy water that hits your feet and ankles when you step on a wobbly flagstone that looked perfectly stable.

Used to live next to a pub and the pub car park. You could have easily convinced me that just after chucking out time all Irish cars had at least 14 doors. By the time everyone had got in and got out to say goodbye to everyone, then said goodbye to someone that missed earlier then for some reason checked what was on that back seat and in the boot every car made at least 14 door closing bangs.

Helped an old man stopped with a flat tyre earlier.

Thought it would be a 10 minute job.

He told me he bought a spare wheel for the car as it didn't come with one.

Grand, I'll have it on in no time I told him.

Took off the flat and went to put on the spare but the holes wouldn't match up.

Wrong wheel for the wrong car 🙈

Told him he needs a new tyre so I put him and his flat in my car and headed to a tyre shop.

On the way we were chatting and I told him, I've my car 9 years and never had a puncture ( get them in work van regularly).

Got to tyre shop and they didn't have the right size tyre.

Headed to second tyre shop and they didn't either.

As I was leaving I started hearing a metallic clicking sound from my rear wheel.

Thought that sounds like something stuck in my tyre.

Anyway, went to a 3rd tyre shop and got a tyre there.

Went back to his car and fitted the wheel and we parted ways.

Got home and checked my tyre and yes a screw stuck in it.

Thankfully this one was a 10 minute job though 🙊

No good deed goes unpunished FFS

I think you need new tyres, too, from here they look like they have a comb-over.

Good for another 1000 miles.

looksee · 22-01-2026 05:48PM

I've a 10 year old car, no problems, going fine, would go better if I washed it. Put the best quality tyres on as soon as they are needed, its all I spend on the car apart from petrol (its a hybrid) and an annual service, but the tyres are my only contact with the road, I don't skimp on them. Anyway, fair play for your efforts for the old man, pity about the screw!

Hold My Hand · 22-01-2026 06:07PM

Fair play to you for coming to that man’s rescue 👏
