Its like an apocalyptic plague today with them.

I've noticed it really bad in both Dublin and Galway, so I'm guessing it's bad everywhere at the moment. You open the fridge and they fly out. The breadbin. The bins outside. Everywhere. Argh.

I spent half an hour trying to lure one out the window tonight but it's a particularly buzzy one high on fly drugs that won't leave.

Smidge · 08-09-2015 11:21PM

It was a bit sunny here today and the little buggers just seemed to appear from everywhere.
I have killed dozens at this stage and there seems to be a whole legion of them still left....buzzing into my ears....lighting on my hands....walking on my screen....tempting me to splatter them

:mad::D

Flying under the influence in a no fly zone, What next.

The whole lidl/aldi queuing system. It's fairly annoying when the staff open a new till when you're already half way in another line.

Pricks....

It's not going anywhere and nothing is working. I'd hate to be an unwanted fly.

Getting a cup of hot coffee in one of those cups that has a teeny tiny handle. Cant get your finger thru it and the cup is too hot too hold. Sitting here looking at it waiting for it to cool down.

Mr Sam.
Casually drops into conversation that he used my toothbrush yesterday morning cos he couldn't find his. Ok, I know he has seen me in childbirth but my toothbruh?? Yuk.

Don't tell me he went up the 'goal end' when you were in labour?? :eek:

In my local Tesco yesterday where they have 4 of those self service tills.

Theres a big queue (which I'm at the back of), and I see only 3 of the self service tills are being used, Thinking the 4th till is out of order I continue to queue up with all the other idiots!

4-5 minutes later when I'm at the top of the queue, the girl looking after the self service tills says, "anyone paying with card can use this till" (yes, you've guessed it, the one which nobody was using)

Why not put a sign up, or go down the queue and mention this, rather than let me stand there for 5 minutes waiting for idiots to spend 3 minutes finding a potato in the 'look up item' tab.

convenient? hardly.

whiskeyman · 09-09-2015 07:57AM

It's Wednesday.

Only Wednesday!!
Feels like it should be Friday, or at least Thursday...

I NEED the weekend!

I also NEED payday, but that's another TA...

Would never mind the OH using my toothbrush - figure I've already caught all her germs at this stage.

TA that everytime I drink from one of them, I get the urge to bite into the cup and chew it...

Buying something somewhere where coffee is served.
There's me with, like, a kitkat or something, and the 1 euro coin in my hand (or €1.30 as some of the robbing bastards change now).
Que person in front of me asking for a triple cocoa chocolate latte americano espresso or whatever they're called.
Que the person who I thought was the cashier turning around to a machine that looks like something out of a Terry Gilliam dystopia and turning knobs and levers and, inexplicably, banging the absolute shyte out of it, until finally some noxious fluid drips out of a spout into a bleak grey paper cup.
Now I'm no good at judging time but the whole process seems to take about 40 minutes. By the time I get to pay for me kitkat, the poor thing has melted in my sweat-raged hand.

This is even better when the person starts deciding whether to have a plain or fruit scone, with or without jam...
And instead of a triple cocoa chocolate latte americano espresso or whatever they're called, maybe a quadruple cocoa chocolate latte americano espresso with a dash of tea.

Then, and only then (after the big decisions have been made), the search for the card to pay, oh and a loyalty card, it's in here somewhere...

Followed by the decision to unload all of the shrapnel they have in their purse/pocket at that particular transaction, "oh, I know I have another 2 cent in here somewhere"

And if it's a place with a loyalty card that can be topped up, well why not do that now, as well...

Yep, he was encouraged to by the midwife. At the time I didn't give a flying fcuk. Could have been down there with a brass band as long as they kept the drugs coming!

Try to get in 3D, or may he can wear a GoPro:D. Have a night for the neighbours and you can show them....

I think if people are going to show the birth, they should also be obliged to show the conception as well;)

steddyeddy · 09-09-2015 11:01AM

Listening to the angelus on RTE radio at the moment. Would you ever feck off it's 2015 for the love of science.

Plus the first item on the news was in relation to child sex abuse by the church.

yeppydeppy · 09-09-2015 12:16PM

Those picnic table and bench things you get in beer gardens, I hate them! Thankfully my local is getting rid of theirs for some old church benches.

castletownman · 09-09-2015 12:20PM

RTE lunchtime news just carried a news report on the Junior Cert results.

Whatever about their obsession with the LC,surely reporting on the Junior equivalent is a bit much

A bloke I worked with a few years ago brought in photos of the event and sort of sprung them on people. The reactions were hilarious.

Sounds familiar!

I got stuck in queue at Tesco after someone who didn't have a card used self-service checkout which was only for customers paying by card. There was no sign to say this, so they had put their items through and then found out they couldn't pay with cash and there followed a rigmarole to cancel the transaction.

A sign would be useful alright.;)

Going into a toilet cubicle when the air is still warm of noxious gases... and then it hits you!!

BBLEUGH!
