    Scumbags graffitiing the Neolithic complex at Loughcrew in Meath. Was up there at the equinox before, an amazing site. Hopefully the OPW can sort it out.

    Roz Purcell posting an Instagram picture of her broken leg x-ray. I'm not even on Instagram.
    Roz is great. I love the bones of her...:pac:



    My trivial annoyance: I recently bought a new lawnmower, nothing too expensive. I've done the front garden twice with it so this evening decided to mow the back garden for the first time this year.

    After 10 seconds, I was veering towards a certain area thinking "Stay away from there. The stump of that old rose bush is there" yet I just go closer and closer until CLUNK!!! Now, with a quarter of my garden done, I've bent the blade on my new lawnmower. :( It's still working but part of the cutting motion is slightly downwards instead of horizontal.

    My da is currently cutting potatoes for dinner... with a bread knife. As someone who sharpens their own kitchen knifes this bothers me, especially since he only recently got me to sharpen his chefs knife, which would have no trouble cutting through the potatoes now but he chooses to use a bread knife. Out of all the knifes in the kitchen he could possibly choose for the job he chooses this one ???

    Same. My dad literally cuts/chops EVERYTHING with the breadknife. One that genuinely came from my grandparents house and they're dead 20 years. It's a good thing he rarely cooks cause he'd be short several fingertips by now otherwise.

    I got a B12 injection and it's made me edgy. My knee is sore too like an aching in it. I need to go out to buy a present for someone but I can't face driving with the edginess and mangled knee.

    Without going into too much detail my toilet needed a double flush and a bit of a cleaning with the toilet brush after I used it earlier. I must have brushed a little too hard though as a small bit of water splashed up and hit me in the mouth :(

    I've heard of Neptune's Kiss where the water splashes up and hits your bumhole but this is much worse!! :(

    Anyway, today's TA is that I put a brand new glass cover onto my phone and I forgot to clean a smudge on the back of the cover before I put it on. Now my screen has an annoying little smudge on the top left.

    WTF is it with kids having 2 extra days off alongside the BH weekend?
    TA they've barely had a chance to get adjusted after mid-term and wont be long till summer holidays. Ridiculous

    I did that twice with our new lawnmower. Bent the first blade, went and bought a replacement, bent the second blade. My husband took over then. I haven't mowed the lawn since which is fine by me.

    TA for today is that the mains water is gone off for some unknown reason. Myself and my husband are both so antisocial that we had an argument over who would go ask the neighbours if theirs was off too. In the end, neither of us went and we just scowled at each other till we heard other neighbours coming out to ask each other. We are so ridiculous. :o

    I did something similar once when I first moved in with a girlfriend. told her that the washing machine was too complicated and I couldn't understand how to use it. too many buttons and dials for me. that worked for a surprisingly long time. Especially surprising as I write software for a living.

    Massive queues outside Primark in Northern Ireland as the shop re-opens. Can see another spike coming :(

    Queues for the mr whippy machine in filling stations in fine weather when all you want to do is pay for petrol and gtf out of there.

    I get those injections every 3 months, so i know how you feel.
    Mind you just before i am due, I get really tired and lethargic.
    A right pain in the hoop!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,809 ✭✭✭✭freshpopcorn


    I figured out I was given to much change in a shop well about €3 and I’m thinking did I put everything on the counter and if I go back now I know the person who served me will make it into a big issue.(She’s the manager)

    Oh yeah, without them I'm really exhausted. I'm just being topped up now and then it will be three months with just one injection. It's unreal how the lack of it can affect you. You can get very low mood and fatigued! No fun so I'm genuinely glad to get it.

    There is no way these people are so desperate for a pair of knickers that they have to queue up at 5.30am for Primark. Gob****es. Hopefully our only saving grace will be that they're flying through the vaccinations up here. They've just started vaccinating the over 30's so another spike would hopefully be mitigated (a little) by that.

    TA'd that simply weighing yourself won't give you your weight - you have to do multiples and try to average/guesstimate it. I weighed myself before bed, and after getting up in the morning and there was a 2.5kg difference!

    Clearly all this dieting and exercise is bollocks - I just need to sleep more!

    I wouldn’t be to worried.
    People said the same last year when Penney’s and the shops reopened and there wasn’t a massive increase.
    Also the most vulnerable are fairly vaccinated so we won’t have the deaths or numbers in hospitals.

    Your weight first thing in the morning before eating is usually your true weight.

    Getting to Tesco early, thinking I was smart, only to be confronted with 2 to 3 “online orders” being filled in each aisle. The amount of weaving and having to get the weird carts, they use, moved was a real pain.

    Should be done at night, or early in the morning, when the shop is closed. Or at a time when others have to suffer and not when I’m there. Is that too much to ask?

    I'm off until Thursday. Except I'm not really because I've to monitor the Business Post on Sunday for a client piece and keep an eye on another account on Tuesday because the Account Director is off too. Once again, there's absolutely nothing in my contract about being on call, nor do I get paid any kind of on call allowance.

    Take it from your old aunt Dial Hard kids - never work in client service.

    Part two of my consumer TAs today is morons queuing for egg chairs in Lidl. Someone tweeted she was delighted she got three. What? Why does one need three egg chairs? Can egg chairs not be got elsewhere at any time of the year? Is it just FOMO? Am I missing something?

    I don't identity with these people...on any level. Sometimes I wonder if I'm Irish at all. Sometimes I wonder if I'm even human :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,868 ✭✭✭CrowdedHouse


    TA I had to google 'egg chair' and I was in Lidl today :D

    I'm not too worried but I'll still be bunking down until August. I'm not vaccinated because someone has decided that a healthy 50 year old is more at risk than a pregnant 37 year old, and I read about covid related placentitis causing stillbirths, with some concern. Small numbers but I don't want my unborn baby to become a statistic. :(

    I'm good for fluffy socks - I wonder if one can knit their own knickers :D

    Actually edit. You can buy underwear in Dunnes and places. They are around the aisles. I got socks last week.

    TA that the vape shop in my local town is open. How is that essential when children's clothes and shoe shops aren't? My lad has busted the toe in his shoe and he tells me some class mates are wearing non uniform clothes to school because shops are shut to buy the proper gear.

    I'd say after your morning sit down on the throne but before food!

    Motorcycles are so light they normally publish the 'dry weight' - without oil, coolant, brake fluid, etc. - and the 'wet weight'. I've always thought the dry weight is a bit of a useless number - it's not the dry weight you're trying to pick up when someone tips the bike over on you!

    Went back to work last Monday after 2 weeks out with head injury and now feel worse. :o

    How is it, that a person who can't leave anything where it is, unless told numerous times to leave it there, manages to walk past of basket of washing they could take to peg out one of the multiple times they've walked past it?!
