Got my new passport yesterday in the post and put my signature in the personal details bit (photo page) and realised that it was changed to the following paper page. I'm hoping I haven't voided my passport now, is it just a matter of putting a single line through incorrect signature.

Legal document and all that, I'd say call the passport office and ask...

(that is of course if you hadn't already thought of that in the meantime

)

The amount of zips I burst, until I happened upon button fly's, so handy because I could button them back up once the... 'swelling' had gone down... :pac:

You could also get a crow guard installed while he is up there, keep the cost down and all that;)

May as well consider if the guttering is being done, can anything else be added to the deal.

I hate those rubbish snips on facebook, "blah blah blah" followed by "you won't believe what happens next" or "what happens next will make you cry" - f*ck off like, I will decide what makes me cry or whether or not I believe what happens next.

At lunchtime yesterday I had to endure the sight of some gom in full lycra gear in the middle of Eyre Square in Galway spread along a bench doing press-ups.
How sad must it to be so insecure that you have to have the general public witness you doing a basic exercise that you'd normally do at home.
Gom.

Is there some kind of epidemic of this in Galway? Around 7 o'clock on Monday evening I witnessed something similar at the entrance to Dunnes in Terryland. Young lad, prostrate on the path, going ninety-to-the-dozen with the press-ups, presumably trying to impress some young wan.

So I pop into the thread and the first post I read, ends up being the last post in the world that I'd want to read.:(

When the fly in jeans/chinos is buttons rather than a zip - in no universe is this ever preferable...the absolute lunatic who thought this up is surely boiling in hell

Cannot abide the button fly. Also, whatever happened to hook and eye closures on trousers? So much more comfortable than waist buttons.

The neighbours in the apartment above us screaming and shouting and banging, they aren't as loud as yesterday but it is every few days at this stage :mad:

I was hungry and lazy Wednesday evening, so I picked up a Thai Red curry to reheat in Tesco. Shovelled it in and burned the gob off meself, I'm still in bits today with a raw patch on the inside of my cheek. To make it worse, it was a puny portion, only about 5 little prawns in it. I would have eaten 3 of them

This morning an acquaintance on FB posts*"__ is a lovely name for my baby. F**k off anyone who has a problem with it"

Twelve hours earlier (after 100th pic of said baby): just look at the latest picture of my baby, a prospective of which no-one else ever in the history of social media has ever taken.

Two hours after the earlier complaining post: "anyone know where someone can buy cute baby Christmas clothes?"

An hour later: Same person posts a pic of the baby in a different pose.

One thinks that the constant posting of her baba is a contributing factor to whatever criticism she is receiving.

TA'd that I have a lovely bottle of white wine in the fridge, a tube of Sour Cream and Onion Pringles in the cupboard and I can't touch any of it til tomorrow night.

My weekly weigh-in is in the morning and Saturday night is treat night.
The night before always drags in!
Having a cup of orange and lotus flower green tea and it's just not hitting the spot

Haggled over a purchase I made today... Del Boy skills in full throttle. Got €40 off.... Nice.
Back to the car... Parking ticket expired by 14 minutes... Warden in the process of ticketing me.
"It's already in the system mate, sorry"
**** off, cùnt!

You just come in from work. Obviously the smart phone needs charging, so you open up the laptop and it also needs to be charged.

Aghhhh.

All laptops are shít. All of them, inclulding the ones that cost around €2,000. Silly little toys with their silly little single-spindle mass-storage, and people depending on a roller-bearing the size of a pinhead or a mainboard slapped together in a rice-paddy to hold all their, sometimes valuable, data. At least use a backup, in the name a' Cheeses! "But... but... you're a computer person! Fix it!! Please!!?!??!"

If you know someone who doesn't understand that a single copy of any data is vulnerable, then get them of of those "Chromebooks". Everything gets saved to the Google "cloud" straight away, so no need to think about backups at all.

If I have €10, and you have €100, it's correct to say "you have ten times as much cash as I do".
It is not correct to say "I have ten times less cash than you do". This annoys me.

Since these are statements about numbers, you can express them mathematically:
1) Me = €10. You = 10 x Me = 10 x €10 = €100. So far so good.
2) You = €100. Me = 10 x ... less cash than you? Since I have €90 less than you, do I have 10 x €90 = €900? Since it's less, should I use a minus sign, meaning I have €-900? Does Not Compute. :mad:

I wish! I'm driving from the utopian paradise city of Cork but I have a German OH who has questionable taste in music. I have to listen to a lot of Scandinavian folk metal

I'm so TA'ed that I always have to do my own gutters. (Honestly, no double entendre

) Yer man is afraid of heights, and also has a broken leg, and we can't afford to pay someone. It's a horrible job! (Really, not a euphemism for anything else but cleaning gutters is no fun.)

Frequently use it even when the seller posts to Ireland as the parcel motel cost is usually less (frequently significantly less) than the additional cost the seller charges to post to an Irish rather than UK address. This, plus the convenience of being able to pick up the parcel at a time when it suits me rather than having someone available to accept delivery makes it an attractive option for me.

While An Post get to grips with their version of the U.K address, they'll be delivering it to your address, they have something else closer to being finalised, YOU buy a postbox off them, I think he said 60 or 70 euro, your packets are dropped in even if they need a signature, (except registered) the packet is scanned and the box has a barcode which is scanned then you get an email to say it's been delivered, he says the box is capable of taking up to a good medium size packet, but not available for apartments..:mad:
