Witnessed some incredible parenting the other day at a wedding. One of the bridesmaids has two kids (one baby and a 3-year old) that she just had to bring to the ceremony with her. Now I don't mind the 3-year old being involved as he was the page-boy and the bride's godson. But the bridesmaid's husband was tasked with minding the two kids, and let's just say he is a traditional old-school farmer type who wouldn't be overly used to minding them.

He let the three-year old run around with abandon, clambering around the altar, grabbing one of the microphones etc. The groom had to eventually intervene and escort him back to his seat. That could be explained away by him nursing the baby, but when the baby started crying at the top of her lungs for ages, he had no wherewithal to bring her outside for a while. I mean the whole ceremony was been recorded and now its essentially ruined by a crying baby, while even the priest was getting a bit flustered by the noise. I actually felt sorry for the wife, who was mouthing at him from her seat at the front to bring the baby outside.

TL;DR. There's a time and place for young children-weddings aren't one of them.

Maddening. My call to the bar (and that of the other folk called at the same time of me) was ruined by some self-entitled git from our class who insisted on his wife bringing both their young screaming children to the court for the call. Will never forget it. Four years of hard work and the call was ruined by a f*cking screaming baby who had no clue what was going on. I mean, the kids were young enough that the parents could have told them later in life that they were there - they wouldn't remember anyway. :pac:

Booked flights with Ryanair. They have now changed the flight time by six and a half hours. No use to me. I have gone in to their refund page and inputted all the details of my flight. I have ticked the box where it says that "flight times changed by more that 3.5 hours".
I am now getting a "cannot process" message because my flights have NOT been changed by more than 3.5 hours.........but they have......

Hours spent on this already......

I've got a post up on Facebook showing the process of a project of mine. A lot of people are commenting F meaning Follow, to get notifications so they don't miss the "reveal" when it's completed. You can just opt in to receive notifications but ok, we all had to discover that at some point...but people keep pointing it out and supplying photos of a step by step guide on how to turn notifications on. It's not registering.

Now I've posted the finished project but people are still putting F and "cant wait"

I'm honoured they want to see the results of course it's just a hell of a lot of notifications for all of us whenever they comment F.

Trying to reboot my life after the sh*tshow of the past 18 months,
step one was to get my head straight and bring down the anxiety attack frequency.

I cant access the relaxation/sleep meditations the girls have put on the mp3, so I pick up a medication cd that was around.
All going well, got past the intro and dozed off listening to the meditation, at the very end of this it leads into to a happy clappy voice trying to flog me their merch.

FFS at the very end of the evening/sleep meditation they are all upbeat and selly!!!!!!

Off with it to a charity shop!

Signed up for a 10k run in a month. Need to get running, I desperately want to finish this in under an hour. I'm not a fast runner at all but I think if I push myself and eat right I can do it.

Now I have to stop eating all the ice cream.

I've tiny little cuts at the corners of my mouth from eating salt and vinegar crisps and they are so sore.

I got an urgent email, saying that my card had been declined when the seller went to get the money for the goods(two weeks after the order)
as its a debit card I ran to the bank to top it up, taking money out of their atm so I could put it in their pay in machine.

When I get to that machine, it keeps spitting out the 5e note, twice I straightened it up and put it back in the slot, third time it spat it out again, under pressure I get the rest of the sum topped up and went to the counter to have them top up the difference, ten minutes at the counter and noone has appeared from the back to help me lodge the 5e that came from their own machine.

TA, that on the rare occasion that machines have 5e these days, the same bank will not accept it in a different machine,

People on boards would argue about any ould sh!te. Back and forth getting angrier and angrier about something that is so unimportant.

Weirdly specific and unfunny rants.

Using the last drop of milk to make porridge or tea. Date is ok, smells ok but as soon as it’s heated it turns

The new micro font size on Boards as a result of the iOS update. When I choose a bigger font the whole page doesn’t fit on screen

"super milk" is awful for that type of shenanigans!

RickBlaine · 09-10-2019 8:08pm

I don't know if I'm explaining this clearly, but there are times when you make connections in your head between two otherwise separate things. For example, last year I spent loads of Sunday evenings ordering a Dominos and binge watching Star Trek: The Next Generation. Now whenever I order a Dominos, the smell of it reminds me of Star Trek. The problem is that other people may not realize this and wonder why you suddenly started talking about Star Trek when we were ordering a pizza.

This happened again recently. I was in Boston last year and for some reason I noticed loads of Asian-American people there (a quick Google tells me Boston is about 10% of Asian decent). So, I had this conversation with a colleague today:

Her: I'm thinking of booking a holiday to Japan next year.
Me: Oh yeah, I've been to Boston.
Her: ???

If it’s the “low fat” one you have a few days “grace” past the “best before” date. Sure it’s mostly water anyway.

The collective circle-jerk over Line of Duty.

Locked myself out of the house doing the dog's bedtime walk just now. My sister is dead to the world and answering neither phone nor door. Can't exactly call into the neighbours at this hour. Wtf do I do??? Genuinely wondering if turning the wheelie bin on its side and crawling in for the night is an option...

Holiday.

Looking at PlayStation 5 news and it's release date is Holiday 2020.

Not Christmas, not December, but Holiday.

I get that people say happy holidays (small h), as a PC, inoffensive phrase, but I've never seen Holiday as a drop in replacement to Christmas.

Christmas is a thing. It's a specific time period same as New Year's or Easter that exists regardless of your beliefs or whatever.

Why have they changed the name???

Making a toasted sandwich and pressing it down to stop the contents falling out. Now my hands are soggy and have crumbs on them.

You HAVE to see Line of Duty, then after that you HAVE to see Game of Thrones, then you HAVE to see The Handmaid's Tale, then you HAVE to see Peaky Blinders, then you HAVE to see etc.. blah blah blah....

It's like there were never good TV shows before 2010. Leave me alone and let me watch what I want to watch!!
