Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

Scratch Xmas off that list for me.
Man, I hate mass.
It's funny at weddings, funerals, christenings though, loads of people who don't normally go, all looking at the old women out of the corner of their eyes, looking for the cues as to stand, sit or kneel at the appropriate time. 0 -

which dunnes, and why?
The one up in Donna.
At about 9.40 they made the first announcement that all booze had to be paid for before 10. Cue ridiculous lines forming, and people having to scramble through their trolley's to get the booze out. Not one staff member organized any of these q's, and then bang on 10, they said no more booze would be taken for, even though they let people Q for 20+ mins.
My main gripe was that A) Tesco's last year used a bit of fcukin cop, and rang things through until about 10.15, giving everyone who had Q'd a chance. And
That no one was policing or organizing the Q's. They knew full well that they would stop at 10 at the button, but let people, they knew wouldn't get served, Q for a good 20 mins.
The fact that they have the Offo right at the front of the shop, knowing that people will chuck the booze in the trolley first, and let everything go on top of it, is another cnut's trick, if they knew they we're going to be so rigid with the rules.
Originally, I had said to the auld lad that we should go to Tesco's Clarehall, as it's generally a bit quiter there, and the layout of the store is very good for nipping around quickly. He insisted that we go to Dunnes, because in this climate, he wanted to support an Irish company. After the whole debacle, he mentioned this story to one of the Dunnes managers, and said that they had made it very hard for him to support an Irish company, and that he would have to think twice about doing it again. Not that that means much to them probably, but with retail the way it is, stores really need to start treating their customers a bit better. Gone are the days when they can wallet rape you, and expect you to be grateful for it.
I know it's all only over a bit of booze, but the sheer inefficiency of Dunnes, and their drone like attitude about it all, really riled myself, and many others, that we're there last night.
I realise that half the blame lies with that bunch of corrupt/incompetent/useless lot in the Dail, who enacted such shortsighted legislation, which 'Forbids' me to purchase something I am legally allowed to consume.
Cnuts, the lot of them.0 -

I'm sorry, but
YOU know the alcohol laws.
Why do you expect Dunnes to break the law, just because Tesco do?
Why do you expect announcements as to what time they are stopping the sale of alcohol, when you already know the answer? Do you, or your dad, not own a watch, or some other timepiece?
No, this is your own fault entirely.
No sympathy.
Are you suggesting to me that you had no other free night in the last, say, month in which to go and do a shop?
There have been evenings that you've spent on this very thread all evening.
It's Dunne's fault that you have a family tradition of leaving things until the last minute, is it?

And our family have decided it's midnight mass tonight so no getting stonked for me this evening after work. :mad:
Hahah, I remember when my mom took me to mass in my early years, and then gave me the option of choosing my own religious belief system. Since then mass has taken a back seat in my life, and only recently I was reminded that so many people actually have to get up early every sunday of the year. It's dreadfully inconvenient really.Scratch Xmas off that list for me.
Man, I hate mass.

That's me. I'm an atheist, but I go to funerals, weddings and christenings to pay respect and show my support for people I know and can see with my eyes.0 -

You're not Ben Dunne's secret lovechild or something are you?
I am sure Dunnes have 'bent' the law many a time when it has suited them. Bottom line it's not like they would ever be hauled off to the courts for selling Booze a few mins past 10 on one of the shopping night of the year. A bit of common sense and decency was all that was being asked for.
The licensing laws only changed recently, and this is the first year people have had to adapt to them when doing the Christmas shop. Yes, we both own timepieces, but would it really of hurt Dunnes to make it clear that Booze stopped at 10. FFS, we are all used to getting a few pints after 'official last orders'. It would have saved both them and alot of customers alot of hassle.
Like I said, they we're freely allowing people to chuck booze straight into the trolley as they came in, without paying for it there and then. Surely, someone in management could have foreseen that that would cause a hassle if they we're going to enforce the laws to the button.
Yes, I am suggesting to you we had no other free night to do it. Without getting into it, because of an illness in our family, my dad's free time in the evenings is very limited. The 23rd is always the day we set aside for it.0 -

Yeah but, it's kinda difficult to stand up for the "Our Father" whilst sporting a boner.
And I don't want to even mention the last time I got a boner in a church.

Restaurant boners are common however, all those hot little waitresses with their suggestive food serving technique. Dirty bitches...
