They're the things that stop your 5 gazillion euro teeeeeny-tiny speakers from falling into a drain and disappearing forever.

Brilliant about your hands ! Coconut is super for dry cracking skin . Delighted it worked for you .

It's great as a hair mask, too. Just use sparingly or it will take FOREVER to wash out, and leave it to work (overnight, if you can). And to make your life easier, use paper towels to absorb most of it before you wash your hair.

My major TA is people who patronize you - did you know that if you wanted to turn a light off you'd have to press the button to the off position?

That was REALLY what somebody said to me yesterday... well, you DO learn something new every day....:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::mad::mad::mad:

Its a conspiracy I tell you!!

When you buy some headphones they come with different sized rubber yokes for different sized ears

A pharmacist once explained to me that a liquid medicine had to be taken by spoon and mimed the process of pouring medicine onto a spoon. Also someone told me what a common cooking utensil was and that it comes from abroad. I'm quite sure we've had spatulas in Ireland for a while now. Also I've taken cookery courses and cooked for others since I was 16.

The last few weeks my neighbour has been leaving out her bin at about 2 in the morning. She works late but Jesus, do it before you go to work not silly hours of the morning. She’s not discreet about it either, I woke last night thinking the house was falling in on top of me until I realised

Years ago I had a housemate who was the same... he had a bit of a hearing problem so some excuse but he’d firstly open the side door forgetting the alarm was still on, all fûcking hell breaking loose at 6.30am then take the bin, bounce it off the wall repeatedly in trying to get it past the car on the way to the front of the gaff.... didn’t need an alarm.

Beards.

*not a TA, was distracted and meant to answer a question not on boards at all! Apologies for how that looked, beard owners.

You'd be amazed at the difference spending a few quid on headphones can make.
Even €20 would probably be a big step up from the free ones (although some models come with fairly decent phones, now). As said, most come with different size rubber yolks.

Yeah, but... even those sometimes don't work. (I'm truly unique...

What about WhatsApp lurkers? In a group of 11 or 12, there's one lad who never posts anything, yet is nearly always one of the first to read a new message.

You should try something like this, they don't even go in your ear and have hooks of different size to keep them locked in place.

They are still in my bag! The cable frayed after years of wear and tear and the cable being about 5cm too short and them being yanked out of my ears.

MuffinTop86 · 19-11-2019 1:36pm

Can find nowhere online about whether the bus I’ve booked can be used on a different day (bBus Eireann).
I know if I ask they’ll say no, but I’m wondering if these mac numbers will put up an error when the driver types them in cos they never actually look at my ticket, they just ask for the number.
If anyone knows, my pm’s are wide open! :-D

Antares35 · 19-11-2019 3:12pm

All these click bait "news" items about snow and "temperatures plummeting" etc. It's winter! It's normal for it to be cold and no it is not snowing and no the temperatures have not plummeted so FO.

Kitty6277 · 19-11-2019 4:12pm

All the talk of earphones here lately reminds me of a TA of mine. Wired earphones/headphones. The wire keeps getting stuck on things and yanking them out of my ears. Have a Bluetooth pair of headphones now that are so much easier, and not so small that can be misplaced like AirPods or the like

Loafing Oaf · 19-11-2019 4:37pm

Supermarket staff blocking aisles with those big wire cart things. Shouldn't you be doing that at night, or at least during a quiet time...

Lady in Dr surgery at 4.07pm: I have an appointment at 10 to 4 with the doctor.
Me to myself: don't you mean you're 17 minutes LATE to an appointment with the doctor?

TA: my appointment was at 4. So this bitch is making me late and I'll probably miss my bus now.

Mollyb60 · 19-11-2019 5:59pm

Now waiting an hour to be seen for my appointment. Fs. And she's just called in the woman that arrived 17 minutes late. Who is CHATTING with a mate and not actually going in. I'm gonna actually lose the rag here.

TA'd earlier by someone calling Hitler a masochist when they were describing sadistic, not masochistic tendencies. I wouldnt mind but theyre knowledgeable about Hitler so it was incongruous.

TA is if my memory was better I could put up 5 posts a day on this thread . So my real TA is I'm a cantankerous old fart. **** !

The fact that I just walked from Baggot St to Orwell in Templeogue without a single one of my bus coming along.

If I’m the secretary I’m advising on the person checking in that they will have to wait for a window in the schedule that day... unsat for them to just throw everyone else’s schedule and plans into chaos and delay.

If that is needing to happen the company can pay to rebook flights, hotels and take care of any other costs incurred..no way would I be carrying the can for that..

Lately I’ve seen a lot of people spelling ‘his’ as ‘he’s’. For example: ‘Off he goes to he’s home’. I don’t care if it’s dodgy autocorrect, my eye twitches every time.

Seamai · 20-11-2019 8:14am

People who start a sentence with "So", just watch any news programme, it's particularly common when someone is answering a question.

People who say “damn autocorrect!” when they make a spelling mistake. Just turn it off!

In my books that would be more than trivial, I spent many years like that. If you feel it's affecting the quality of your life, (in my case it was having a serious impact) you should really speak to your GP.

Gwynplaine · 20-11-2019 10:40am

The fact that some soccer team in London have sacked their manager, that it is headline news. So sad.

Mollyb60 · 20-11-2019 11:06am

Cat projectile vomited all over the rug this morning just as I was about to walk out the door to work. Not a great start to the day. Actually this entire week can go suck a fcuk.

Yep, 100%.. I’m saying this as a guy who was the biggest insomniac on the planet, I’m ‘fixed’ now but only after not dealing with it properly and it having fairly debilitating effect on my health and wellbeing for years. Your GP will advise you on what the best route to take but just for reference there is a whole department in the Mater who deal with sleep disorders...

Reminds me of another one - people deliberately saying "then" when they mean "than". That car is more expensive then that one. Argh! :mad:

Antares35 · 20-11-2019 11:43am

Radio stations that announce when cráp songs are coming up, "and don't go away. Coming up after the break we have Rod Stewart and James Blunt!" - Well thanks for the public health warning (switches stations). Or this morning, "coming up on celebrity gossip, why such and such is no longer on twitter!" - f*ck off. :mad:

New Home · 20-11-2019 11:47am

"Who's" instead of "Whose" on official presentations, from people who really should know better.

Widdershins · 20-11-2019 11:59am

People telling me about boils and spots and ingrown hairs. Please just don't. You'll be using words like armpit next and I won't be held responsible for my actions. (What's wrong with "axilla" ?)

Insomnia is a royal b1tch. There are cures though ..or helpful treatments

Really? I have been like this for years. Sometimes Most days of the week I will wake at 2-3am and that's it for me for the rest of the night- no more sleep. A good night I'll get to 4.30-5am. I just have to put the radio to listen to current affairs and try to doze.

RhubarbCrumble · 20-11-2019 12:42pm

I ordered a pair of shoes yesterday. Received an email this morning to say that they're on the way. With bloody Fastway! I'll be lucky if I ever see them. If I had known that the shop used Fastway, I honestly wouldn't have ordered them. I've had nightmares with them in the past.

People filling the electric kettle through the spout resulting in any foreign bodies that are in the water being stopped by the filter. Then, when the water is poured out to make tea, coffee etc, the foreign bodies are the first into the cup!:mad:

The use of 'at' as in "where are you at?" instead of just "where are you?". Some might argue that it is correct but not me!!:mad:
