    The signs at every Luas stop:

    Be a nice human...



    Give a pregnant woman your seat.


    Now it's not the sign per se that bugs me so much as the need for it.
    I'm not ancient, so it can't have been all that long ago that nobody would have put up signs to 'inform' or shame people into doing the right thing, it was just assumed that enough people on public transport had been instilled with sufficient manners for such signage to be unnecessary.

    You should go into a maternity hospital waiting area and see the amount of very heavily pregnant women standing while non pregnant people occupy the seats. Watched a midwife read the riot act to these seat hoggers one time. It was joyful!

    I live on an old estate and the road is very narrow. So basically there is only one side of the road to drive on, and parked cars, as very few houses have a driveway. There are two bends as well and you can't see past the parked cars to know if someone is heading towards you. I'm sick to death of meeting someone head on, and having to reverse back out of their way, or having to pull into one of the cul de sacs so someone can pass when I'm coming up from the bottom end of the estate :(

    Restless legs. All I do is complain about it. I'm so so fed up, I've tried everything.

    I just cannot sleep. I don't know if it's a pregnancy thing but I've rarely had it before. Now it's every night, and in the car sometimes.

    I'm really struggling now. It's absolutely infuriating. I feel like I'm going to go completely psychotic and stab myself in the calves repeatedly :o

    What is the point of captcha??
    When will it stop??
    Who decided they could do this??
    I really hate to play the dyslexic card, but... I HAVE DYSLEXIA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    What about old people? They're dying and they don't need this shit either.

    I wouldn't be at all surprised if captcha has killed somebody by now. I'm serious. Do the sums.

    I curse the fcuker who ever thought it would be a good idea to throw a bunch of ineligible letters and numbers about a small box and then ask us to tell it what it is that we see.. and all to supposedly see if we're human or not?? Jesus, it's my humanness which is making it difficult ffs!! If I was a bot it'd be easy, that's the problem!!

    The start of American TV shows.


    Previously on XXX, & then proceed to do a 5 minute montage of flashback clips.

    Are they catering for the memory of a goldfish audience.

    And once the montage is completed, we then go straight to the ads.

    The wall to wall sport on RTE on Saturday and Sunday afternoons wrecks my head.

    Not everyone likes sport. WTF. Alternatives are hard to come by, Newstalk is the same. Can't stand the jock stations where the presenter is more important than the Choones. And they TALK TOO MUCH.

    You can tell I am TA'd.

    So it's podcast time, but I like live radio, just GIMME A CHOICE!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,155 ✭✭✭✭Spanish Eyes


    Oh and while I'm on a rant, the amount of ads on RTE Player is so annoying. You could go and make a cup of tea, two slices of toast, butter the toast, sit down, and the ads will still be going.

    Same for C4 catchup.

    Someone must know a way of blocking them out. I haven't found it yet.

    I feel your pain, and it is a pain.

    They should just ask a you to add 1 + 1 and enter the answer.

    So much easier than looking at drunken letters that don't make any sense. I've had to refresh that so many times, I felt like a Captcha meself.

    OOOOOPS three posts in a row. I'm going to the leaba now, so ye're all safe for a while!

    When people don't make wide turns when walking around corners, especially in corridors, meaning they're walking into people who also didn't take the initiative.

    Trivially annoyed that the DVD-RW drive on my desktop has decided that it doesn't want to read game discs anymore, necessitating the purchase of an external DVD drive. I knew it had to happen eventually but FFS, the damn thing still lets me play audio CDs and even rips the music if I so choose. But to actually read a game disc, let alone let me install the damn game? COMPUTER SAYS NOOOO.
    Urgh. I normally wouldn't mind but this has come at a time when I really don't have the cash to splash. Typical. :mad:
    Also, my right foot hasn't stopped aching in a month. I'm sure I have some kind of arch damage but I've no idea if I'm covered to see a chiropodist about it. So, yar- bodily aches and computer troubles.
    What else is new? :mad:
