    To be honest, you can't expect them to fix a pothole if they don't know it's there. But it's also very difficult to find out if a complaint has already been made. If you've made a previous complaint yourself then you should be aware it's there and be more caution than to drive in to it too, so you're kind of stuck. If you can see a bad repair then you'll be able to claim against them.

    That's true. The pothole's only emerged in the last week. I think I may have posted in this thread a few days ago about driving into it- unscathed apart from having the poo frightened out of me - ...only to forget this morning due to not having had my coffee, thereby encountering a far deeper hollow than what was there last week.

    The moral of the story for me? Report it when you hit it....damage or no damage!

    People who stand in shops and read newspapers and/or magazines and then put them back on the shelves deserve a special place in hell.
    Hell must be well overcrowded with this lot alone .

    Havent posted one in a while but passing through phibsborough today...

    Would they ever get a bit of brasso and polish up the porterhouse sign, half the letters are lovely and shiny the other half look like dirty pennies.

    Glad I got that off my chest

    Try putting a teeny tiny bit of blue tack on one end of the wire of a paperclip to get behind the keys of your keyboard. For the card, try to salvage it with nail varnish, but that won't fix the chip in it... Other than that, I'm afraid you're on your own...

    ETA: Phew! Got them both out. Shook the keyboard until I got the paperclip free and then the bit of plastic fell out too. IMG_5028_zps2dydzjsb.jpg My DIY / office improvements are done for the day. The card, however, has to be replaced as I damaged the sensor. Wouldn't mind so much but the only ID I have where I don't look like an escaped boggle-eyed axe-murderer.

    Oh I know, when I was living in London I had to ring a month beforehand! Crazy! I'm just in pain and annoyed today so I'm giving out about everything. That walk in one sounds good! We don't have that here.

    I am just terrible to sleep next to, I snore and I cough. I don't annoy myself usually though because I am a heavy sleeper, but my poor OH is tormented tongue.png

    Hes not so bad, he got me chocolate to make up for it :) just wish he'd go back to poking me to get me to stop snoring, its been really bad lately maybe its the weather:confused:

    I feel your pain. My OH pounds the mattress beside me with his fist when I snore, and I shoot out of my skin :(. I'd say I drive him mental though, when he tells me I'm snoring, my reply is how can I be when I'm not asleep :)

    Hmm I must try that next time

    "I have to be good, no more junk food!"

    Later the same day....

    "Ooh this ice cream is on special offer. Oh wow, it looks delicious... Ok, I'm going to get it. But this is the LAST time."

    Days later...

    "I'll most likely gain weight at Christmas. I really should eat better now so I don't gain any before then. No more eating crap!"

    Later the same day:

    "Ooh a new chocolate bar! I HAVE to try it!"

    No, I do not want to leave a message. :mad:

    A Christmas tree situated in the middle of a city centre, which spontaneously bursts into loud song, freaking out everyone nearby.

    Would you believe Kat that in the 15yrs Ive been going to my Doc Ive only once seen someone else paying and that man gave a cheque,no wonder I have to pay cash as he has no card machine.

    Its the same faces down there the odd time I actually go and its like a social get together with the witch/secretary as they all know each other so well.

    I want a medical card.my USC money back,cheaper health insurance,no LPT or water bills and no fcuking potholes..surely thats not asking too much.:pac:
