Im probably all wrong on this but isnt there a way to get some channels on the sky box without the signal...as in if you get disconnected you can still access some channels? Might be worth a try...I can honestly say that my OH wouldnt last an hour without tv and Im the same with the laptop.

Our sky was disconnected Xmas week and I had to ring up and say that he had left me in order to get them to discuss the a/c with me and then paid 100e ish to turn it back on:mad: we would have paid a 1000 tbh..:rolleyes:

Ahh you're thinking of the way you can get the non-subscription channels Colser, the same channels you'd get without a card, but without a signal you'll get none.

Worst comes to the worst Pumpkin you can hook the laptop up to the tv and download the slingplayer app, and I'll walk you through getting it set up to log into my slingbox I have hooked up to the young lad's sky box (we have multiroom so you won't be interfering with my wife's soap watch :roll eyes:) -

Bloody humidity. I went against my gut instinct and wore shoes without socks today and of course me being me, I walked too far in them. Now I have 6 blisters on my feet. 4 in a row on my right instep and one on each heel, I miss alcohol:(

Noooooo, only the neighbour is allowed to make noise. I lived beside one of these. When she had no kids, twas loud music til all hours, you name it.
When she had kids, other kids on the street were told off for playing on the green, anywhere near her house.
There is some name for it, I believe, whereby these people believe that they are the exception to every rule, but expect others to live by rules...
Glad to move away from the biatch.

I think I moved into your old house .that sounds like the Bitch next door.

People who jump up out of their seats while the plane is still coming to a stop. The kn*bs have to then stand for ten minutes with their heads twisted at weird angles because they can't get into the aisle. Hah.

I never understand why people do this. I am going to laugh from now on though when I see it happen. Is it about looking soooooooooooo important and busy. 'Look at me I'm in such a rush, (now I'm standing here like a plonker), oh and I've switched on my phone cos loike no-one else on the plane has one of those gadgets.'
Don't get me started on people who can't board in the order that they're asked, and can't understand that standing in the aisle as long as possible arsing around with luggage, and arranging their jacket just right, in the overhead locker, kinda blocks other people trying to get past.

Totally agree!

Last year when we were in Dublin Airport, we were sitting at the departure gate and the flight was due to board at 6pm but it was running late and the ground staff told people we would be boarding at 6.20pm instead.
Do you think people listened?
No.

As soon as the woman had finished speaking, about seven people stood up and started queuing at the stand and they looked ridiculous because the ground staff weren't even paying attention to them.

I was sitting there reading my magazine wondering why these people are in such a rush? We all have allocated seats and the plane isn't going to leave without you.

Then you board the plane and there's always some idiot blocking everyone's way in the aisle as they try to fit their bulky bag in the overhead cabin.

They know full well they're causing a hold-up but they don't care.
They eventually sit down and you make your way to your seat and of course you're secretly hoping there'll be an empty seat beside you 'cos nobody wants to sit next to someone else.

You reach your seat and viola, your seat is slap bang in the middle.

Anyway, I'm ranting now.......Just wish people would cop the fk on and behave properly. We are not animals!!

Yesterday evening (OH was heading out, place to myself) went out to the garden with a nice cold glass of pinot and book, just getting comfy and the fcukin lawnmower next door starts up, he finishes and the one on the other side starts....when he is done on the lawn, he starts up some sort of mega strimmer, but not constant strimming, oh no, the start/stop type.....

Brrrrmmmmm.................pause.................Brrrrrrmmmmm.............pause:mad:

There should be a law for mowing, only Mon-Fri 11am to 5pm.

Or maybe I should piss off and live on an island;)

Exactly. It's announced, for example, rows 15 to 30 to board. You just know people don't listen...when you get on the plane, invariably people have boarded that are not in those rows, and are standing blocking others.
Do they not see it is common sense? Evidently not.
I was on a flight some years ago, when the staff announced anyone needing assistance come up first, they actually sent someone back to wait.

Must be so frustrating too for staff.
It's back to the thing of people thinking announcements/rules only apply to others.

Putting on duvet covers. Why can't I do it without being left in a frustrated, sweaty heap?! :mad:

Remmy · 21-06-2014 02:21PM

I set my pot of coffee up the night before so all I have to do when I wake up is slap it on the stove. Wake up groggy and put in on the stove, wait for 5 mins, "coffee" brews . I go to pour it into the cup and it's just boiling water. I forgot to add the ground coffee so I have to wait another 5 mins for it to brew.:mad:

Bought some shower cleaner today. Get home, read instructions.

As follows..: ''Clean surface thoroughly before using this product'

em, excuse f***ing me??? What is the point of your product , if I have to clean it first????
You think I have the time or inclination to clean my shower twice?? :mad::rolleyes:

Ahh come on now, are you just looking for trivial things to be annoyed about? I think she'd look healthier with a few extra pounds on her, it's just a personal opinion. I'd like to be thinner but not as thin as that. All said and done most women aren't entirely happy with their bodies. Those of us who are overweight want to be thinner and a lot of women who are very thin would like to be more curvacious. It was an observation not a criticism:)

Wacker The Attacker · 21-06-2014 05:16PM

I have difficulty deciding if listening to my extremely cute neighbour having sex almost every night is annoying or extremely brilliant.(she makes so much noise I can hear her next door)

I'm jealous because I want to bang her but at the same time listening to her scream her brains out is oddly enjoyable.

I love going on flights to germany cos the germans all listen to the instructions!

EDit · 21-06-2014 05:30PM

Sometimes the folks in the US take it too far though. We were on an internal US flight to Orlando in April and virtually the entire flight was made up of English/Irish families many with young children and they did the usual "we invite our gold members to board"...cue 3-4 mins of waiting while no-one boards, "we invite our silver and bronze members to board"...cue another 3-4 mins of no-one getting on, "we invite US army servicemen/women in uniform to board"...cue 3-4 mins of no-one getting on. It was probably a minimum of 10 mins before anyone actually got on the plane. I understand they have to follow rules, but it annoyed the ****e out of me anyways

I'm watching the Capital Summertime Ball on CapitalTV and the cameras are in the crowd. The amount of people reacting to seeing their faces on screen is ridiculous. Have you never seen yourself on a screen before?!
Just dance and watch whatever act is on stage!

I want a Crunchie. Alas, my nearest shop doesn't stock them. Surprisingly hard to find in Swords for some reason.

Also: Moths, flies and other flying bugs. Get out of my room! :mad:

Dunnes Stores sell them in three packs!!! :pac: also Double deckers, flakes, of which I have just partaken in a vanilla ice cream cone, crushed the flake all over it, kind of made up for the missing Walnut.

Gnats.
Bloody annoying feckers are around all day but as soon as the lights go on and the blinds are closed, they fly over to me and my drinks.
Jesus I wish they'd all disappear off the face of the Earth....what are they for?!
