Whilst browsing around Tesco, a lovely lady caught my eye a few times.
The lovely lady approached me to talk to me. It must have been a good hair day or something.
She leaned in, pulled down her mask and began to.......see me walk away in disgust and wanting to kick her in the chest.

What happened? Did she get sick or something?

Must be beating them off with a stick :pac:

Doesn't make sense that you described her as a lovely lady; perhaps "lovely" lady could have been used to lessen confusion..

TA restrictions, fines etc.. I want to know is it the law or not. Seems like this whole "giving advice" crap is just an exercise in solicitation to get them convictions and the coin :mad: Still in the dark about this 5k limit

and whether or not it's "unlawful"..... #BananaRepublic

Deja Boo · 21-10-2020 8:28pm

Searched the entire house for a missing phone... again.

Until it decides to magically appear, I will be out searching for a flippin' phone booth from 1979. :mad:

Bloody sinus headaches, migraines and vertigo everyday so far this week

My poor noggin feels like it's going to explode.

Every supermarket has a website where you can look up what brands they have and the price and info, all except Dunnes. They only show clothes and not groceries.
Get with the times will ye :mad:

The checkpoint/not checkpoint on the M4 out of Dublin. I have to go to work, all yer roadblock does is stop me getting home in time to see my son before he goes down.

Being pooped on by a magpie while refilling their feeder. Ungrateful f*ckers.

I have an array of birds I feed. The first to arrive is a murder of crows, then a flock of starlings, by then the feeder is empty so I refill it while 3 magpies are near waiting. Just today one decided to poo on me while I was refilling it.

I think it's more to do with the fact that she removed her mask and didn't keep 2mts away while indoors. The muppet! (and I'm being kind).

You know those ads on YouTube, with the five second countdown before you can actually click "skip ads"? I'm convinced that it's more than five seconds! I really think every "second" is 1.2 seconds and so they are sneaking in an extra second advertising revenue each time. Honestly, I think they are the slowest seconds ever.

Like to throw on some music on Youtube when in the shower.

When one of those 4/5 min ads pops up :mad:

No I am not frigging interested in your revolutionary dental product and especially now as you've ruined half my shower time with that rubbish ad.

But if there is a hyphen between the N and P then you don't need a vowel before the N because you would just be saying 'N" as in the letter and then the word "phet"

The N'PHET has already been mastered by Mícheal and that's another TA actually because he sounds like Smithers when he says it..... Nyifit. Eugh. Perhaps we need the Portuguese Ñ

I know. I agreed with that bit in my original post. (I like a nicely-used hyphen. (And overused brackets.)

)

I think I have loads of stuff to do here in work but I've only vague ideas of what I should be doing. I know how to do the 'tasks' but can't think of which I actually have to do.

I probably didn't explain that very well...

YT is crap since Google took over.
It used to do what it said on the tin and the suggestions were helpful and based on what you were looking at.
Now it is all ads and random crap in the sidebar that someone has paid google to push on you.
Also, go to the YT home page and have a look at some of the most watched videos. It is depressing the sort of rubbish young ones call entertainment nowadays

What freaks me out about it is how the algorithms work. So when I'm in the shower and fancy some late 70s/early 80s New Wave and get a play list set up "they" know I'm a women of a certain age. In between 'Walking on the Moon" and ' Psycho Killer' some plummy mouthed, smug sounding tart asks me if I've got bladder leak problems or Dr. Patronise tells me if I take a particular brand of herbal remedy I'll never be embarrassed by another distressing hot flush again.
Fuk off! When I'm lathering up my hair I want to escape the reality of my impending decreptitude with some excellent music. And for your information, my bladder function is as solid as my musical taste. And when I crank the volume up, that is not a cue to play the eternal hearing aid ad .

Never had this problem with vinyl, but then, you couldn't bring your record player into the bathroom.

When you buy diesel and they won't let you pay at the hatch so you have to go back to the car for the mask and go into the shop.

Whatever happened to pay at the pump?

Oh sorry. TA I can't keep up with my own TA

TA more fúckery from the woman who gave birth to me. There's something that's been bothering me for ages (like three decades) with my mother and eventually today she did it again and I politely asked her not to bring that subject up again and she started shouting and roaring, saying she has to "take her words out and look at them" before she speaks, then stormed off and banged the door behind her. TA I'm the fúcking adult in the relationship (such as it is)

I really need to estrange for my own sanity and that of my child.

No kidding!
I read a book once that said how bad it was for a baby to have a stressed mother, even in utero. It has negative effects that can last their whole life.

The aggressive fcuker who roared at me from a car earlier for not picking up my dog's poo when she was only doing a wee. He blasted the horn too and frightened the living daylights out of her.

Dial Hard · 22-10-2020 8:06pm

Also, the fact that the only TV that shows up when I try to cast anything other than YouTube is my housemate's bedroom one. The sitting room TV is 6 feet away, ffs!

Google's gone to crap.
It's simplicity and user friendliness were what made it so popular.
The colourful logo, the searchbox: simple as that.
Then they started to add in annoying facts and animations, look at it now stuffed with stupid clickbait articles :mad:

If someone comes along now with a simple, basic search engine I reckon they could steal Google's crown.

Aglomerado · 22-10-2020 8:43pm

The yummy mummy next door and her several elongated 'buyyyyyyeeeeeeee's when she is waving someone off. If she shortened it she would have time to tidy up the rusting kids bikes in her back garden and maintain her side of the fcuking fence. Sweet kids though.

Fortunately they were abroad for my pregnancy and I was pretty calm throughout. I've the happiest and most chilled baby ever. However, I want her to stay that way, no way am I going to let anything dim that sparkle if I can help it!

Sardonicat · 22-10-2020 8:51pm

Annoying twat cousin who chanced her arm to come in and visit my Dad today. I didn't let her in, obviously. The household visit ban has been in place two weeks now, we are now on level 5, she works in an office and the fact that she tried to get in here tells me she's been ignoring the rule and visiting my aunt who doesn't abide by the guidelines and who lives with her daughter who works in a school. Dad is 89 and has heart disease. I'm having to keep the door locked to keep this b1tch out. She's calling again tomorrow, apparently. No doubt with more sage advice on how to be a carer based on her zero experience of same. How kind.

I watched a documentary called Home Alone that has some excellent ideas for how to deal with unwelcome visitors.

Neighbours bloody talking again....12.30am on a weeknight and they're having a full on loud conversation on the other side of the wall. Every time it stops and I think I can finally get to sleep, the man starts up again. He seems to love the sound of his own voice. I just can't get over how inconsiderate these people are. I'd be whispering at this time of night.

I really empathise when reading these posts. If the slightest sound wakes me I’m up for the night, til around 7am when I start falling asleep again and then wrecked at the alarm.

That’s actually linked to this TA, we ordered a pizza feast for dinner which made me sleep. I fell asleep for honestly no more than 5 minutes at 7.30 and I’m wide awake now cos of it.

Rarely see them anymore.
The first petrol station I pulled up at yesterday said cash only! No atm on the forecourt.
Now I normally carry a bit of cash but not enough to fill a tank.

Get it sorted FFS.
