Can't find me fecking glasses. Dunno where I left them somewhere in house have resorted to a real old pair. Have me nose to the screen. Jayus.

JohnnyFlash · 15-09-2020 11:18pm

My local shop has stopped stocking Manhattan Cheese and Onion crisps. As everyone knows, they are the best crisps in the world, so it’s disappointing and annoying that more places don’t stock them.

I'm really sorry for your loss and for the additional heartbreak of not being able to be there to say goodbye, 4Ad.

Thanks...

I used to be a member of Westwood gym in Fairview Dublin many years ago. Well over 10 years ago anyway

People would slit throats to get a space by the door. There was other parking and there was overflow parking too at the train station next door but still car drivers would take the motorcycle bay or other spaces they shouldn't to get by the door

You are going to the gym ?!?

Haha always used to make me laugh as well - was real dog eat dog. Problem was it was too much of a hassle for them to go to other carpark - sitting in queue instead/trapped in queue as would have to double back. Terrible layout in fairness.

Ah yes, I was trying it on any highlighted text. I see it now, and it shall be used!

I really think Friends missed a chance, there. Ross should've bought a table.

It’s mad that they aren’t more popular. They really are super nice. Can you get those in supermarkets here ? I remember keeping an eye out before but I’ve only ever seen those in pubs. My local had them ages ago but went back to King.

Online I can only find them on the Manhattan site... various bag offers..

Like any normal person,, I went outside for a bit of fresh air at 2.25am. Weirdly, my garden was full of slugs and I was in my bare feet. What's the deal with someone not being able to go into their garden without squelshy slugs wrecking their head?

Potential-Monke · 16-09-2020 3:24am

Wear shoes when you're outside, ya damn hippy!

But yeah, I see evidence of them every morning.

Badly Drunk Boy · 16-09-2020 5:29am

Stepping a few metres into my garden without footwear is hardly subversively hippyish!

Now my trivial annoyance is my tablet not recognising my existence. The printer in work doesn't either....

dubstarr · 16-09-2020 7:45am

You really have to tweak recipes.I find the tomato sauce ones especially always taste of tomato sauce.Nothing special.Until you add a bit more garlic,sugaar,salt.You just have to do it to your taste.Trial and error.

And i always find one of the Knorr stock cubes gives a nice finish.

purple hands · 16-09-2020 8:09am

I flinch a little every time I hear "wet pub"

I meant to add stock instead of water , and a bay leaf. You can’t go wrong with a bay leaf!

Obviously loving the damp, dull summer we had. There were millions in the garden when I moved into my house, beer traps sorted them. At least they will die happy!

bubbles o hara · 16-09-2020 7:02pm

Had an exhausting day at work and now we're sitting here unable to hear our own tv over the neighbours...again. Honestly, they've made our lives misery with their noise since moving in 9 months ago. Loud music and blaring tv including all day last Christmas day. :mad:

Archeron · 16-09-2020 7:44pm

Rte one and their never ending bucket of doom. Just sat and watched two hours of TV with my elderly dad who would worry about stuff he sees on telly. An hour of the news, covid covid covid, followed by nationwide, a look at the effects of covid on tourism, followed by ecoeye and a reminder that climate change is here and anyone who survives covid will either drown or die in a forest fire.

I know these are important issues but would it hurt to try and make people smile every now and again?

Antares35 · 16-09-2020 8:00pm

Constant picking as I prepare dinner means I'm not actually hungry when it's ready.

RMAOK · 16-09-2020 10:51pm

TA for people who can't get the hint "please leave me alone".

It might be good to try to distract him. Some channels show old favourites, repeats of old series, for example, that might help.
All the doom and gloom would drag anyone down especially if he is a worrier anyway.

amadangomor · 16-09-2020 10:55pm

People who drive with the palm on the steering wheel action.

You're not driving a forklift with one of those little turning knobs you numpty.

How does it work in hot weather with sweaty plams? Accident waiting to happen I tells you :pac:

Antares35 · 16-09-2020 11:55pm

OH told me it's him or the dog. I told him the dog wins, which he wasn't expecting. TA a grown man sulking all evening. Sigh...

Phoenix32 · 17-09-2020 10:42am

This is more than a TA. Reading about the suffering in Yemen and how small babies and toddlers are dying of hunger, that situation has gone on for far too long. I made a small donation to Unicef but really no one should be starving to death in this day and age.

Space Dog · 17-09-2020 11:13am

TA it's supposed to be 22 degrees here today yet right now it's overcast and quite chilly out.

freshpopcorn · 17-09-2020 1:18pm

This sounds mean.
However do you know when you encounter an individual and your nice to them and you’ve a chat with them and you might meet somewhere casually in a group and they think they are automatically your best friends.

Antares35 · 17-09-2020 1:37pm

My friend is texting me asking if I can go out next weekend for my birthday. It's so sweet of her to arrange something but I just don't feel comfortable going out at the moment. I don't know how to tell her, it feels so mean

I wouldn't sweat over it, just explain your position and tell her how much you appreciate it. I have found among my group of friends that we have had different levels of comfort in what we could/ should do at different times over the last six months

Antares35 · 17-09-2020 3:47pm

My mother just excitedly announced, "I see we are going into lockdown tomorrow". No mother, we are not going into lockdown tomorrow. She also gets all of her news from Facebook, sitting there mindlessly scrolling and every so often shouting out a prophecy of doom. She doesn't realise her own liking and sharing is propagating an entire world that validates and reaffirms her own thoughts process. I swear she fúckin enjoys the whole thing.

the purple tin · 17-09-2020 5:10pm

America. The good ole US of A is really TAing me.
I demand a total media blackout of the US.

The place is a fecking joke and they are now exporting their unique brand of BS to other countries and screwing them up too.

tldr - Sh.te off America.:mad:

Your mother certainly seems to Annoy you.

My mother is on Twitter. Last week I got a panicked phone call after she clicked the heart button by mistake and she wanted to undo it.

Lovely evening, wine chilling in fridge and just set to start bbq in a few mins and
Mr Wankpit from a couple of doors down starts mowing his lawn...at 7.45pm!
And he is well aware that the woman next door to him has just had a baby.

No, that’s the mad part....there was no way he was going to finished before dark. He could just as easily left it until tomorrow...he’s a dick.

Black remote controls, such a dumb colour to make a device that hides every time you turn your back on it.

Few shovels of broken glass over the wall is your man.

The Premium offering is a bag of nuts an bolts hoyed over after dark.

Dont organise a Barbie though, the freakin nuts and bolts play havoc with the mower and destroy any ambience you might have built up.

Make a terrible racket when they hit the blades.

Has he a ride-on........:o......:D...... better again.

Farkin midgets and flies! Would ye ever just fuk off and die! I work nights, so obviously the little cnuts are attracted to the light, but still like, when I'm swinging at you with either a teatowel or fly swatter, why would you stick around?!

Roll on winter!

Gamer Bhoy 89 · 18-09-2020 12:55am

TA1: Ingrown fingernail. Just for no reason one of the nails on my fingers decides to go off on an adventure and plant itself into my skin. No sign of it, just out of nowhere f'cking agony. Watch this: I'll get up in the morning and it's gonna look no different to a pistachio nut.

TA2: Lately I can't eat anything without getting acid reflux. Píssing me off to no end that I have to make sure not to forget my Gaviscon before I head out.

TA3: Opening a box of tablets from the *correct* side and the slip of paper is in the way of the foil. Go away, you should be on the other end.

TA4: When the milk goes sour before its expiry date

Bredabe · 18-09-2020 12:09pm

My newly wed colleague just got back from her dr's appointment, doc thinks she is too skinny as she dieted to get into a size 6 dress from her normal size 7.5/8 dress size.
She is upset as doc asked her if she is eating and to her mind implied she has an eating disorder. I've met her family, they are all tall and skinny by nature, even her grandmother is still below her most healthy weight.
She is sitting in the canteen eating biscuits and crying to her 'friends' about how upsetting it is when ppl dont understand metabolism and its consequences.

TA this one has form with using the word fat and sneering when ppl say they have diagnosed metabolism/issue, known for her battle cry of get off the soft and exercise, BUT as its HER metabolism its all ok!

Ted_YNWA · 18-09-2020 12:22pm

I had to spray a bit of WD40 on my desk chair last night & it the smell of it is still here.

js35 · 18-09-2020 12:26pm

Something really p!sing me off lately is seeing selfish feckers in aldi/Lidl with full trolleys who seem to be oblivious to older people queuing behind them with only a handful of shopping are they really in that much of a hurry they can’t let the oaps skip ahead

the purple tin · 18-09-2020 12:38pm

In my little dropper bottle the nozzle ends two-thirds of the way down the bottle thus rendering the remaining third of the liquid virtually inaccessable :mad:
If I ever run into the person who designed that bottle it will be handbags at dawn, I can tell you!

I wish they would put more basket-only quick checkouts(some shops have them but never staff them :mad:) and self service checkouts.
I hate popping in for a couple of quick things and getting stuck behind people with their whole weeks shopping at the till for ages.

I agree it’s very annoying when picking up a couple of bits I just can’t understand how people can ignore little old white haired ladies struggling to hold a basket and not let them skip ahead

Im more than annoyed at this stage.Sons communion has been cancelled again.
Just leave it till next year.

The milk thing pisses me off no end too!

For the heartburn, have you tried nexium? You take one a day for 7 days and it cures heartburn.

Very minor TA but was just in a cafe ordering a sandwich. I asked the guy if they had English mustard. He went to the fridge and found a bottle of mustard and started reading the label. He was like emmmmm.....it's definitely mustard but....emmmm...is it English? Let me see....his hand was covering the label so I couldn't see it. This honestly went on for about two solid minutes.
I said just leave it it's fine and he said no, no I'm just checking. I sighed and said can you let me see the label? But he just kept standing there studying the bottle.
I could already tell it was cheap ****ty American mustard and I didn't want it. I felt like climbing over the counter and slapping him.

Antares35 · 18-09-2020 5:16pm

When people use the term "buddy" - usually on Boards! I just cringe for them. It's so passive aggressive and silly. Even if I agree with what they are saying once they say, "I don't think so buddy" I just lose all respect for them.

the purple tin · 18-09-2020 5:43pm

When a thread you grows and grows like crazy. You're looking at it when it starts, then by the next day it is already like 40 or 50 pages.
You just say, nah I cannot be arsed reading through all of that.
