Did you ever see Cape Fear? Where Max Cady hides under the family’s car?

That’s what he’s like under your sofa.

Have you checked everywhere you store food?

We had a mouse that we weren't able to catch for a few weeks, he wouldn't touch cheese, bread, cakes, chocolate, etc. Turned out that he had discovered the biscuit basket where we store unopened biscuits and the cute fecker ripped a hole in the packet at the back and at the bottom of the pile. No wonder he wasn't hungry.

But once we knew where he was getting food, we could remove it and a day later we caught him in one of the traps.

Speaking of, they have made an ad with Bruce Willis as John McClane for car batteries

They have lots of people from the first film in it so it could have been great. Could have...it is absolute tripe

Willis doesn't have to act the world weary, grumpy attitude anymore, he's like that all the time now.

There is 2 tears in the bottom of the sofa so it is possible. Why oh why won't he just go in the trap and be released in the park. Housemates are suggesting the kill traps now and that will cause a bit of drama.

When you view a celeb as a Legend and they produce sh*te work in thier field of expertise.

Example- flicking through Netflix - clicked on most popular.
Watched 15:17 Paris.

Directed by Clint Eastwood it was crap. Crap dialogue and loads of filler.
Now every time I watch an Eastwood old Western or Dirty Harry. All I will think is Clint made 15:17 Paris. What a knob.

Ah, it's bound to happen after so many attempts at the directing game that Eastwood would pull out a turkey. He should be let off this once, he has enough good work under his belt to make up for it

Imagine the confusion when I was late for a family party because I was stuck in a packed tescos buying wine.

Quicly messaged my mother (pre smartphone and predictive text) what I thought was 'going to be late. Fcucking queue' but autocorrect sent 'going to be late. Fcucking Steve'.

Even worse was my mother replied 'who is Steve'?

American recipes. A half cup of this. A quarter cup of that. Pain in the hole googling the equivalent in grams. And I am not going out to the shop to look for these cup measurement things. Waste of time and money. Ufff......

According to an American friend the original intent was to simplify recipes as early cookbooks were inclined to say things like, "to a goodly amount of flour add a generous quantity of sugar". So long as you stick to the proportions all should be well.

Or is it just that bum-brains are naturally drawn to that particular brand of automoblie?

Doing anything to avoid the reading I need to do for uni, I started to clear out a deep under-counter cupboard.

I come across a half dozen plastic Chinese food type containers with their lids. They are absolutely filthy(even by the standards of the ppl involved) some of them have their lid taped to them.

What kind of mind put away dirty(not just stained) food containers but ahead of this, tapes their dirty lids to them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.

Well they had a very aggressive civil war going on. The Irish Defence forces suffered casualties while trying to carry out "peacekeeping " duties.

Advertisements "subtly" ramping up the "Stay at home" propaganda..

I mentioned a while back on thread about the annoyance of hearing doorbells on ads - how realistic they sounded, I almost used to think my own doorbell was ringing :pac:

Back then I think it was two companies or so using that particular prop - Argos, and Amazon, I think - now plenty of them are at it :mad:

#fuqstayingathome

And while I'm on about Ads, and propaganda I'll throw out a "controversial one" - the over representation of 'diverse' couples

the purple tin · 31-10-2020 11:42pm

The way the British TV channels have been telling us to do nothing except watch the telly through the lockdowns. Not go for a walk or maybe take a break and do some reading or a new hobby, no: do not move from your sofa all day (you or your kids) is the message they have been putting across every chance they get :mad:

I've noticed this as well. The problem is if they don't, the professionally offended will be out with the usual faux outrage.

Rarely see advertisements any more as most of the things I watch is either recorded, on Netflix or YouTube. But I love watching Pawn Stars on History. But the ads are nuts, mostly about cheap cremations.

But from the dawn of time commercial breaks means my parents telling me to make them tea.

Haha that was the same in our house. It was a challenge to get it made and back before the programme started again but now you could nearly make dinner the ads are so long

I hate the pattern and can never understand what the attraction is to it ,I feel it's people just wanting designer stuff but each to their own.

TA I'm wide awake since 6.30 am, have loads to do but still in bed, very annoyed with myself.

Don't normally listen to the radio, but having seen the thread on Leo in CA IMHO yesterday, I thought I'd tune in and tune on to RTE Radio 1 to see what the man who has the 'pulse of the nation' tubs had to say about it.

Was pretty decent fare with some trad music, and some amateur dramatic old type Irish storytelling going on, but nowt about Leo, or no sign of Ryan.

Figured I must have tuned into the wrong station so I slid the dial to the right - this must've been around close to 10 0'clock; and shortly after it dawned on me it was Sunday, not Monday :pac:

Turns out I was on RTE1 to begin with, and tuned into 2fm - the Louise McSharry show - and what were the topics: Some bloke who's a transsexual,
telling us how great she is cos she stood up for John Legend's bird on Twitter, and something about Kim bloody Kardashian.

EDIT non-binary, not transsexual

donegal_man · 01-11-2020 12:16pm

The ad telling us how to recognise the symptoms of Covid19. Not the ad per se, but the horribly patronising tone of the voice over as well as the creepy background music

Used to TA me when I was a child when parents would tell all of us to stop acting up even when it was only one of us. Eg. " Would yez all cop on and quieten down" when it was just my noisy sister being loud.

Now find myself doing it to my kids

Yes and she didn't even come up with it herself either. She bought that design off another artist.

TAd that I didn't get to sleep until daft o'clock last night because of all the banging.

and the fireworks were quite annoying too. Boom Boom!

Bredabe · 01-11-2020 1:31pm

A friend who has a job she can coast through and there so long cant be sacked, parents paid for most of her/their house, giving out about ppl I don't know who don't do what she tells them, ie not watching the same netflicks series she is.

I get when ppl have their lives settled these things are annoying, but STFU or FO, some of us have to scramble to get through each day!

Have you used the "You haven't just let me down....." line.

TA the TV is not in standby mode & I have to get off couch to turn it on.

The wind and full moon last night drove the dog mad and woke me up a handful of times last night, I needed to be up early this am to catch up on the work I couldn't get done yes over the great paint fiasco. So now I'm 2 hours behind where I should be and well on my way to an allergy attack.

Have to sit in a cold room to let the paint smell out to lessen the impact of the allergenic stimulus, But the thing that most TA is that I need to buy black jog bottoms and the online prices are prohibitive and the usual sources cant sell them to me!

I just saw someone on Facebook refer to themselves as a "fully qualified juice therapist". What the fcuk and qualified by whom, exactly???

the purple tin · 01-11-2020 1:44pm

When you get home and realise the shop assistant has diddled you but it is a quite small amount of money so if you go back to tell them about it now you will come across like a stingey loon.

Always check your change at the till they always say but be honest, who does that in real life? You bung it straight in your pocket.
If I started checking my change at the till would it hurt the shop assistant's feelings I wonder? They check my banknotes with the magic pen so maybe turnabout is fair-play.

I always pack my groceries, walk to one side and check my receipt. I find that's a bigger problem that incorrect change (I mostly pay by card anyway) i.e. multi-buy discounts not passed on etc. Nothing worse than not discovering this until you get home as the incentive to go back is severely diminished.
