    Threads in the wrong place.

    "my thread about movies is in AH cos it'll get more views" isn't a ****ing excuse. The whole point of separate forums is to keep order.
    Or when people start a new thread in AH just to tell a joke or post a silly video. There are existing threads just for those things :rolleyes:

    Quick visit to supermarket for essentials and people TA'd me

    Maybe it's just me but I don't think this is the time to be browsing the wares at the supermarket, know what you want, load up, pay and get out. They're probably one of the more dangerous places at the moment.

    Feck this virus!
    More than just TA

    Yup. I do a mental browse of the shop before we leave, and write a list. As soon as we get in, it's like an Olympic sport/ military exercise and we just get in and get out :D

    My TA today is that OH doesn't seem to realise that bills etc. cost money. I spent over €200 paying a utility bill and another €80 on coal etc. Despite me casually mentioning it several times, he hasn't offered to chip in. He isn't normally mean, I think he just genuinely hasn't thought about it, but I'm frantically clearing down debt before baby arrives (TH should be completely debt free in 6 weeks!) and there isn't that much left until next payday.

    TA I will look like a money grabber if I say it to him, and would also find it quite demeaning...but why can't he just take a hint?!

    Brings dog out for 3 walks to an open green area, five minutes from the house.
    Dog gets restless in the evenings, man complains that the walks the dog is on are boring.
    Rince and repeat.

    Not that Im extra irritable today, not at all at all.
    Tutor sends back assessments with a note on the way its written and he would like changed.
    Note is so generalised that I don't know where it applies in the doc and when I ask, the response is a polite version of FO.

    Which is about a useful to me as a chocolate teapot in the tropics.

    Chocolate teapots and fireguards are extremely useful; you can eat them :)

    I have a pain in my hole with this virus.Being stuck in,i cant even fling the kids out to play.Poor feckers havent been out at all since they where in school.

    They are allowed out. Jaysus if they were stuck in 24/7 they would go nuts. We go for a cycle or a scoot every afternoon after the schoolwork is done and they also do sprints up and down the road. Once they know to stay away from people it is fine.
    We're lucky to have a back garden too so they go out there for a while (whether they want to or not :pac: )

    There is local gossip going around that a couple of the resident junkies in town were attempting to shoplift earlier, and when the shopkeeper confronted them at the door, he was spat at by one of the vermin. Now its fairly common behaviour from them as they have basically run amok in various premises around the town without much censure (typical Irish "justice") but to be deliberately spitting on someone in this current climate is grounds for a public lynching. My blood is boiling.

    The way Sharon Ni Bheolain on RTE news says Fianna Fail, she says it like Fianna Foil, really annoying because it sounds wrong although she is probably pronouncing it properly. It grates.

    People who do this now should be shot. It's vile behaviour at the best of times, but it's really despicable now. It's happening to guards and paramedics too. :mad:

    Filthy scum.

    Discarded gloves becoming more common. I go for a walk every morning before starting work and am starting to see more and more. Why can't people use a bin?

    I've been finding wetwipes in my garden.
    The wind blows loose wrappers from peoples bins in, but the wetwipes are a new one.

    Because a certain percentage of the population do not care about anyone but themselves.

    TA that I forgot to set my alarm this morning. Should be working already so will need to make up the time later.

    Also weird dreams where I was bursting to wee but didn't wake up to actually wee.

    A friend that I meet about 4 times a year. Never gives anything away. Terribly mean with his conversation, advice, knowledge, etc. Type of person that would have a thousand protective masks in his cupboard but would never tell you or if he was going away on holiday to Sri Lanka tomorrow wouldn't mention it.

    Sent him a text asking him how he and his family are keeping.
    Response. All good. You?

    Yet people I hardly know are opening up and offering all sorts of conversation.


  • Registered Users Posts: 10,633 ✭✭✭✭Widdershins


    I think I know him haha.

    Fraudulent charges, finances being a house of cards, a common ta at the moment I'm sure :(

    I am not much of a socialist, but I always believed in this one from Karl Marx.

    Ah now, you can't be saying mean things like that about them. Sure haven't society failed them, they didn't have a football field growing up and the laws don't apply to them etc. :P

    I'd be livid too. And the gas part is they probably won't catch anything, nothing would survive in them.

    TA I have an ongoing craving for rice pudding. The freezer and presses are well stocked with healthy, sensible food so I really cannot justify taking a risk in a shop just for rice pudding, but it is all I have thought about for three days :o

    Not to sound annoying, but can't you make it? I know it's not quite the same thing, but...

    People who call every slightly raised car a Jeep.

    People who refer to anything other than a Jeep, as a Jeep.
    As in “I bought a new Toyota Jeep”...no you didn’t, you bought a Toyota 4WD!
    A Land Rover is a Land Rover...and a Jeep is a Jeep!

    And don’t start me on Hoovers😊
