    Those Aviva radio ads.

    It was bad enough with the confusion of the word Aviva with Geneva but now they're flogging it with "how does daddy know a superhero called Caoimhe". Feck off. No. Get that child to the doctor for an ear wax treatment.

    The word "purposeful" and anyone that knows where I get that TA has my sympathy :-)

    Wake me up when it's all over.

    Happening more often now the tops of milk cartons in tesco are not screwed on tight so when you get home the bag / boot is swimming with milk.

    Scrub area with cleaner for babies bottles, nothing worse than stale milk stink in a car.

    6.25pm and not a single newspaper left in the shop…on leaving I noticed two staff around the side lobbing arm fulls of papers into a container. It’s open until 9pm..😬. so the actual fúck is up there..? if they want a head start on disposing of the extra ok, but just keep a handful of each paper there for customers many of us are regulars. That place has turned into a total circus. Pay top dollar for everything but complete asshołe mutton heads calling the shots.

    It was warmer at 7.30 this morning than it is now. The sun was out granted,but even so.

    Those poxy scam callers from Belgium etc. After ages without getting one I've had five in the last two days. I ignore them but it's still annoying.

    When you're looking at something that's awkward to lift off display and into your trolley. Someone can't wait the seconds it takes you to do that before they start pulling at the other products in display.

    There are approximately 10 people in the supermarket, there's about 30 products there.... waiting 1 minute isn't going to result in you missing out 🙄 🙄 🙄 cool the jets there Sheila!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,255 ✭✭✭Pauliedragon


    Same here. I was only saying to a friend the other day about how it's great it is I haven't seen the Belgium calls in a while and bang I'm getting 2 or 3 a day now.

    Placed a click and collect order at 12:40 with a company that has a 4 hour service level agreement.

    I had checked everything was in stock before placing the order. I got the confirmation email, that says not to come to the store until you get a second email with the barcode for collection.

    The shop closes at 9 .....8 hours since placing the order

    TAed that we seem to have a batch of Square toilet rolls - storage issue- to much bog roll not enough space.

    Wake me up when it's all over.

    TA - If you don't want wide - really wide - trousers this year, tough. There must be a fabric lake somewhere because all the pants in the shops have oceans of excess material in them. Either that or you have to paint them on.

    Neither of these styles go to suit me. I don't have the figure for the painted on ones, and the wide ones can be a trip hazard on stairs - seriously. Guess how I know.

    Try charity shops or TK Maxx, looksee. Hope "your friend" (that's how you know, right?) is ok and didn't do herself any damage.

    The fact that I am going to have to get back out of bed to brush my teeth



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,319 ✭✭✭✭bodhrandude


    A bit of a rant here but was on my way to play a gig, got taxi to bus stop nicely in time for bus, bus doesn't show this being the 3.42 PM bus, so had to wait for next one. Meanwhile secondary schools empty for the day and now my next bus is packed out, thank you Bus Eireann and ten minutes late for my sound check at 5.10.

    What's going on where are the trivial annoyances?

    TA that's getting less T and I may have to do something about it. There is a fly. A house fly that really wants to sit on my mug of tea and it is not taking the hint of me taking swipes at it. Next thing will be the tea going flying. I am thinking evil thoughts at it but it doesn't seem bothered.

    The one I have is far too elderly and pre-occupied with mortality to be bothered with flies 🙄



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 31,680 ✭✭✭✭looksee


    I need a long leg length and M&S and Next are the only ones that reliably fit me - but they are both gone mad on these vast sails of trousers (like I used wear very happily in the 80's (?) some while ago anyway).

    My gym has changed the treadmills around again. Thought the last change was bad. Now I’m looking at me sweaty mess in a flippin mirror. A sight for sore eyes.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,224 ✭✭✭✭The Continental Op


    Amazon, not their fault but always a massive TA when I hit the "Buy it Again" button and the item is out of stock or worse still "Currently unavailable.
    We don't know when or if this item will be back in stock."

    Wake me up when it's all over.

    Went into two local convenience stores to get a roll. Left empty handed (seems no one baking today!) My TA is that 2 different local charities were collecting outside each store so I was nabbed for a fiver from each as I knew the collectors and they were good causes. No roll though

    Picky Search Features! Trying to pirate a copy of The Sheep Detectives and couldn't find it because I searched for The Sheep Detective. You'd think the first search with out the S would have given the same results as the second search with the S?

    Wake me up when it's all over.

    Going with a family member on house viewings am annoyed and surprised by the amount of houses with artificial grass.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,174 ✭✭✭✭Strumms


    watching rugby matches where Holly Davidson is the referee. Far too often missing obvious foul play or infringements. Then on occasion bottling decisions and attempting to justify herself verbally by claiming “on the shoulder” in the case of clearly high tackles x2 here … inconsistent and very frustrating to watch her.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 174 ✭✭A Pop Fans Dream


    is that on Amazon? Their search function is awful at moment

    No on limetorrents ;-) But Amazon also have their moments when you get almost nothing when you know they have loads of listings for what you are looking for.
