    People who walk into a shop or supermarket and approach the newspaper stand and open up a newspaper on the stand and start leafing through it licking their fingers in the process totally oblivious that they're in everyone's way. This totally plsses me off. I only buy a paper on a Sunday. Grrrrrrr :(

    I don’t think it’s the “manufacturer” that doesn’t allow it, P, it’s the WHO. It’s actually a terrible system. The staff, in places like Boots, aren’t even allowed to answer questions a customer may have on which formula to get.

    Even on that course you’re supposed do with a midwife, before the baby arrives, they aren’t supposed to talk about formula.

    Ours were all breastfed but that was our decision, others might not be in a “position” to do it or just may not want to. Shocking that these people are left in the dark when it comes to information on feeding their newborn.

    Oh right, I was told in dunnes it was the manufacturer but anyway I don't think it's dunnes own policy is the point I was making. :)

    I remember when I said I was bottle feeding mine, someone said to me "oh don't feel guilty".... I was so stunned by that statement and probably sleep deprived... I straight away asked "what have I to feel guilty about?, the child is fed! " they were like "oh, oh emm, right" :D

    Funny you mention it though, when I asked the midwife about formula, she said they couldn't give an opinion, she was very nice about it so I just presumed they couldn't be seen to favour one manufacturer over the other.

    I'll be honest, I never felt any pressure to breastfeed the above comment was the only "negative" one I got. I wonder what she'll decide when she has her own. :)

    I think we've had a fantastic spring and early summer. Very little rain and lots of sunshine.

    As soon as lockdown started to lift the weather changed.... Some might think nature is trying to tell us something :D

    Then they move on to the bakery section and start pawing at all the freshly-baked bread. :mad:

    A Back to the Future TA. Part 2 really: we seeBiff trying to rape Marty's mother in the first film. Then in the second film Marty's parents give him a job that has him round their house all the time :confused:
    'Guess what Honey? Remember Biff, the guy who tried to rape you during our prom? Well you'll be seeing a lot more of him from now on: I've just given him a job.'

    People who say "you're right!", but in a way that suggests authority moreso than agreement.

    An example being where there could be three or four people wondering aloud amongst themselves for 10 minutes or so until someone comes up with the answer or solution; one which usually seems obvious after.

    But "you're right!" dude thinks that his validation is required before the information can be taken on board :pac:

    I don't know why this annoys me but it does, probably to do with a word whose acceptable spelling on this forum begins with the letter k, and the individual concerned being one :pac:

    The house is not the cleanest today, but it's not filthy (clothes basket is full, dishes are not put away and I've still to go out and buy white vinegar and baking soda for a coffee stain on the carpet), but because it's Sunday I just think "awk I'll do it tomorrow, it's Sunday, I can't be fuc'ked"

    Nah, the brother-in-law wants to come down and visit tonight after the missus finishes work, and his wife is the the nosiest, two-faced woman I've ever met -- very snidey, very dry, very judgy, and I know well she's gonna see this house (especially that stain on the carpet) and take it home with her and have a nice conversation cuppa with her family on how "disgusting Dave's house is".

    I could easily put a swamp under my arse and clean the place from top to bottom, but I won't. But I am annoyed they're coming down because I don't want to be another notch on her "ew" list. TA'd that they're coming down on a day where I am rightfully at my most lazy. Go away.

    Tell them someone you were in contact the other day has tested positive for Covid.

    You need, at least, a days “notice” before someone is visiting. A mate can drop in but you wouldn’t have to do much if they do.

    The tide is turning…

    I know they’re probably trying to save their battery and all but I can’t stand when someone passes me their phone to look at something and it’s so dim I can hardly see it! :(

    With all the advances in technology, it's still so difficult to play classic late 90s games like Championship Manager 1997/1998 or the original Grand Theft Auto on a regular Windows 10 laptop - without having to download / install emulators etc that may not work.

    Tackled! I threw some fabric softener on it, let it soak and then scrubbed it with a dry towel. Can't believe it worked

    My bar thing with the bookmarks and open tabs keeps mysteriously disappearing... Occasionally it comes back to stay, but then it goes away after awhile, and I have NOOOOO idea what combination of keys does either.

    Also chromebooks need more keys - no capslock key is a pain when typing documents... I can change a few keys around, but then the switching of one function to another messes with other essential key functions. :/ ...and no bloody delete key!

    The designers really need to type on chromebooks awhile before deciding what functions go with what keys... hmmph!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    'going forward'. I remember when it first started to creep in a few years ago.
    Now it is used by half the country :(

    Ah stop. I have had to insist on reading e-mails trainees are sending to customers in advance because of poor grammar. Should of, done instead of did, US spellings of words, incorrect spellings of words

    There seems to have been an explosion of people spelling metres as meters since the lockdown.

    We are not in f*cking America.

    "Unlimited" data which is throttled to an almost unusable speed after 80 GB.

    Is it unlimited or not? This is somewhere the EU need to clamp down on.

    All those annoying covid19 related buzzwords/phrases.
    'the new normal'
    'bringing us closer by being apart'
    etc, etc

    Guff about stuff, and stuff about guff.

    Wow. I have worked in the construction industry since 2004 and have never spelled the word with an -re. Always meter. I never even knew that metre was a thing till now!



    My TA: took a day off work, but now that I work from home it's basically the same as a workday. Nothing special about it at all.

    Fighting a losing battle Rig

    The ‘done’ and ‘seen ‘ lads, the ‘so’ sentence starters,the ‘like’ merchants have us beaten.

    I have thrown in the towel anyway.
