If there were any staff he had a particular relationship with or any that you saw going the extra mile a short letter of appreciation in a card addressed specifically to them would mean the world. Care work, by its nature, is often unwitnessed and under appreciated. Its lovely when people notice the extra effort you put in. 10 years after I finished working in a hospital as a HCA I was stopped and thanked and hugged most sincerely by a woman who's father I had cared for when he was dying. It meant so much to me. Not only that she appreciated me but it reassured me that the way I cared for that man helped make his last days a bit more durable, and not just him but others too, who wouldn't have been able to communicate.

Yeah he was not great with his dementia at times but there was one lad and they used to wind each other up about soccer - in a lovely banter way! I’ll send him a card for sure!

BBC have a promo for their Christmas schedule. It looks fecking awful: Mrs Brown, Michael MacIntyre, Romesh Ranganathan.
You couldn't pay me to watch that crowd.
TA that terrestrial xmas tv has just dropped off a cliff quality-wise this last few years.

RR has compromising photos of someone high up in TV, it’s the only possible explanation - he has all the comedic ability of my slipper.

Since March I've only shopped in dunnes for groceries.

The lidl near me is absolutely tiny, can hardly fit a trolley in the aisles, so not a hope of social distance. Anyway I had to go somewhere yesterday where I knew there was a big lidl and I say to himself ,"is there anything you want from lidl", no is his reply.

So today he goes, I think we (as in me) should make a chocolate biscuit cake for Christmas......ffs you know I always use lidl biscuits and chocolate for that, could you not have had the lightbulb moment 24 hrs earlier?

(Sending him to do the shop won't work either as he can't drive and not a hope he's walk it, ffs )

Changed queue in Super Valu earlier - always backfires. Got stuck behind a woman who spent a few minutes searching app for voucher points (without success) and then couldn't remember PIN on two cards before paying with cash. The cashier beside me got through five people during the same time I was waiting.

Nothing more annoying.....well actually,as annoying as the people who load up their stuff on to the LiDL trolley belt,are still loading when the cashier starts putting their stuff through the register,and don’t have the niceness (or whatever the word is) to let me(with my three small items) to go ahead of them :mad:

He seems incapable of pronouncing anything with a “T” towards the end of the word. The other night he was making some sort of noodle dish which he tried to describe as a broth, but said it with a very soft T, most annoying. Nevin, you’re on Telly, put your phone voice on ffs.

Is there some event on Friday that make post offices busier than normal? Will try again in the morning but 3 attempt to buy a stamp tells me all I need to know as to why An Post will not be surviving in the long term

In a pub with lax enough rules regarding the need to have food with your pint. Ordered a pizza anyway as I was hungry. GF said she was fine and didn't want anything.

Yet she ate 6/10s of the damn thing. Raging.

Yeah, that’s fine for the “parents only” ones but I’m in a pre-school one where the teachers send photos and important information.

I’ll never understand the need for some to reply to a questions of ‘who’s is this?’ with ‘that’s not little Johnny’s’. There’s no need to reply if the item doesn’t belong to your kid.

Then you get the thumbs up, hearts, smiley face emojis along with inane statements of “hilarity”.

I'm TA'd that more organisations don't use WhatsApp Broadcast rather than Groups. Broadcast prevents getting all the random responses that are generated in Groups.

One of the other kids had a setup like that, they’d open it up for “responses” when they were required.

Managed to avoid the school groups up until this week. Had to “give in” due to one of the parents arranging a present for the teacher. Would have felt a bit bad dodging that.

The Crazy Cat Lady · 11-12-2020 10:16pm

a service for people with ASD/autism/Asperger's (not naming them), that frequently changes their client's appointment days/times a lot and with short notice. As many people know people on the spectrum hate change and can get upset about it!

I have a friend on Facebook (who's also a client of them), who has had her day changed 3 times, she's doesn't know if she's coming or going so I told her to contact her keyworker on Monday.

The way Irish women pronounce data as "dada" in American accents in multiple radio and TV commercials airing at the moment.

Also, an unintentionally funny moment in the recent Famine doc on RTE where a teenage Irish girl speaks Irish in an American accent had me raising my eyebrows.

Antares35 · 12-12-2020 12:14am

When Sunshine FM are playing their sport section there's a recorded introduction from some wan and she says "spaut" - like a stupid fake English accent and the R has just vanished. Why?

Also, the phrase "played a blinder" in particular in an office or other sedentary setting that doesn't involve sports!

People who, when they are shocked by something, instead of being shocked or saying something like "gosh that's shocking" say, "I... Just... can't", or when something is really cute they "cant cope with" the cuteness.

Then the old reliable misuse of the word "literally" - "I literally died laughing" - when it is, literally the only word we have to actually tell us that you are being literal, and that what you are recounting actually took place.

American accent has been seeping in here for a good two decades I think. It's rife among the young, especially the ones from more affluent backgrounds.

I find myself removing batteries from any of my kid's toys that have recorded tunes, voices etc because without a doubt they will be some hybrid Chinese/ American accent.

The lowest point was when her keyboard belted out "maybe you, could be-ee a purple monkey in a bubblegum tree-ee" - just don't want her listening to that shíte.

Funnily enough, if that's the same thing I'm thinking of, it's used in a lot of radio stations abroad, too, but not for the sport section, it's used to indicate the start of the ads (spot). Who knows what it was originally supposed to be user for...

JeffreyEpspeen · 12-12-2020 2:26am

People who fawn over Larry David. Curb Your Enthusiasm has been ****e since the 8th season and probably peaked in quality during the 4th season.

I think Ricky Gervais is insufferable but he knew when to end The Office before it had a chance to jump the shark; that show is perfection from start to finish.

This thing with the Irish were they have to claim anyone with an ounce of Irish as their own. Biden, Obama, CNN's King etc. I see no other country doing it. The oxford vaccine the same, they have to say 2 Irish scientists are part of the team, no mention of any of the others that are working just as hard.
Just seems kinda pathetic thing to do.

Don't forget the British are also serial-claimers of any successful Irish people. Samuel L Jackson called them out on it once.

He was called 'british tennis player Andy Murray' when winning. ie more english, scottish when he lost ie, nothing to do with us, mate.
When we do it I think it is mostly tongue-in-cheek, a bit of craic.
The English take it much more seriously: not just music: I've seen Thin Lizzy, Rory Gallagher and U2 described as British bands in magazines etc, but going back hundreds of years, scientists like Boyle were claimed by the English and anything the invented or discovered they would still call it a british discovery today.
Blame it on the Royal Society, they were always in a pissing contest to prove that Britain was the world leader in science and astronomy (it wasn't) that they had to pinch our guys to try to get ahead of France and Germany etc.
I suppose by their logic Boyle was a british citizen at that time of his discoveries, so the discoveries are still British.

Look back at old footage of Gay Byrne he used to do yank accents now and again, so did an aul fella I worked with. With them though it was like a wild west cowboy accent, and they were doing it for a laugh. The young ones today do it non-stop and I don't think they even realise it.
They are reared on nothing but American shows and films tbf. We had a lot more Irish, English and loads of Ozzie shows growing up.
