    TA our neighbours are clearly not taking the restrictions seriously. I wouldn't mind so much if we didn't share a communal garden area and entrance gates. Constant stream of people visiting them. Today their visitors brought young children. So, we basically have to assume that neighbours have the virus since they are taking no precautions, which means sanitising every time we touch the post box, gates etc. I have a feeling they will have even more people over the weekend. I'll he hopping if they all end up sitting out in our shared space. :mad:


    We're not doing too bad on the social distancing now, I still see muppets like you mentioned but I've resigned myself to the fact that in every country there will be a small number of people like them who are...

    My friend's sister is a bit of a pontificator (is that even a word? I like it) on the ould facebook. This evening she shared a link to a news report urging people to stay at home this weekend and stay away from touristy spots when the weather is good. As if she was some sort of local politician or councillor.

    The only thing is she posted pictures of herself last week walking her dogs along a beauty spot that is an hour's drive from her home. So much for practising what you preach, or are you exempt from criticism when your dogs are essentially your children?

    True, and the "ah shure it doesn't affect me" mentality.

    Remains to be seen how people behave this weekend but I have a feeling the day trippers will be out in force again. Gardaí had to remove a crowd form Kilcoole beach at the weekend I think.

    When I make dinner with enough leftovers for 3 lunches during the week, except when I get to that third lunchbox there’s *slightly* less than a full portion left and then I know there’s a dud lunch in there. :(

    Was really enjoying The Crown , looked forward to it every evening and was my treat at the end of a long day . Then out of the blue they changed the actors in the main roles and it TA’d me . Now I can’t warm to the last series at all .

    Ta This:
    Me, I put the new eggs in the rack(I work a stock rotation system and everyone knows it), the left over egg is in the red bowl on the 3rd shelf?
    Him, so is the single egg and old or new one?
    Me, a new egg, the old ones are at the front of the rack as usual.
    Him, I was right then, its an old egg in the bowl.

    There is not a walk long enough or shower cold enough to help me purge that kind of irritation.

    3 hrs to do a shop.... Sweet suffering jaysus.

    I thought people shopping in pairs was bad enough but today we had two sets of 3 people shopping together.... Great you just take the whole aisle as its now impossible to social distance from all 3 of you.

    I don't buy the reasoning that shopping in pairs is faster as the pairs in front of me in the queue to get in are always at the register at the same time as I am and I'm shopping for 3 adults and 2 kids so not a small shop.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,172 ✭✭✭Bredabe


    I can understand his confusion.
    Please explain what confusing about the older pershiable being to the front and any left overs that don't fit, being somewhere else until space becomes available?

    Really do explain, I cant see when its a lived experience that its confusing.

    I sometimes do the purchasing for my section, on occasion this means that I'm asked to order items for individual staff members(HQ are ok with this)
    The most recent order arrived on Monday and one personal order(from amazon) hadn't arrived, I checked for it yes and it looked like it was lost in transit. colleague in question said wait or ask for refund, even it wasn't covered by the refund policy.

    Today, they got a message saying they were being refunded and they are still complaining!

    I'd tell him to only take from the rack or row of eggs and just ignore any other eggs anywhere else. Would that work?

    TA I think post from the US has been suspended. My parcel! :(

    Or am I wrong, is it only post *to* America that has been suspended?

    I did google and saw the most recent country list in the results. Post suspended, from America TO 22 listed countries, which didn't include Ireland. The search results have been a bit off since C19 started, though.

    Perhaps it was referring to one of the new eggs as a "left over" egg that I found confusing.
    Maybe, I'm just thick.

    I see where you are coming from, you just didn't get the context.
    You'll already have figured out the egg left over was newer and not left over as in leftovers.

    Think FIFO, not LIFO.
