    TRIGGER happy,
    you are probably on same channel as your neighbours wifi,
    switch to another wifi channel.
    AND all your neighbours get upc installed,at the same time,
    everyones on wifi channel 7 ,whatever is the default wifi channel,
    switch to channel 4,10 etc

    People from the country that assume you are interested in gaa,hurling etc is slightly annoying
    i have zero interest in gaa, sport .
    Even though i was brought up in a rural area .

    And i have zero interest in premiership soccer too.

    Cheers, just checked it there and it was on 'auto- channel 11'. So manually set it to 8. Will see how that pans out.

    TA that it is cold outside again....Brrrr.

    The fact that RTE are actually showing d'arby O'Gill and the little people on Paddy's day.:rolleyes: Seriously, there have been lots of good Irish movies made over the years but that's what they choose to show.:mad:

    Aw you can't hate the 'Darby' :)

    my annoyance is calling it Paddys day.
    it's st. Patrick's day.

    Patty's is a new one on me !

    Americans tend to call it Pattys Day.

    St Patrick's day annoys me too, it could actually be a really nice day if done right, but all the drunk people in the city really put me off and I think it's really tacky as well.

    When did a size 8 become 'petite'? In Debenhams yesterday couldn't find any jeans smaller than a 10. Wearing them now I have about 3 inches width surplus. They're supposed to be skinny jeans, dammit!

    Also, TA'ing when clothes in a shop are on the wrong hanger so I get the wrong size. I know I should check the label, but I never think of that. Now I have two things to bring back.:mad:

    Different shops have different sizes in coats, jackets,jumpers,
    in some shops i can fit xl, in other shops xxl just about fits me.
    And alot of shops there might be 10 coats for sale ,
    90 per cent are xl or smaller.
    SO my choice of clothes to buy is limited .
    I wonder is there an agreed size in europe for what is large,xl, xxl in clothes?

    A bit of that is no harm, think of it like changing oil in the car.

    Shirts with white collars, ah la Gordon Gekko.

    You can normally see them on young lads at student race days with those aviator sunglasses.

    Shirts with white collars are ok if the rest of the shirt is white too. ie , a fully white shirt.
    But anything else is a no no. Reeks of trying too hard.

    I know the feeling. I can never sleep on a Sunday, even if work isn't entirely on my mind. At least most of us have Tuesday off, so it's something to look forward to :)

    One thing that annoys me beyond all reasonable patience is people who don't realise that the Dyson Airblade hand dryer is supposed to work like a sort of air squeegee. You are meant to move your hands is a straight up-and-down movement past the "wall" of drying air, so the water is sort of "brushed" or scraped off as it were.

    but all the time I see people standing there vacantly waving their hands as if it was a traditional dryer, just a round stream of warm air: or even just holding their hands still in it.
    I get cross because the things work so well and so fast, when used correctly!

    In fairness, there is only a tiny icon showing how to use it, just a tiny couple of arrows; it is not really very clear instructions at all.
