****ing Amazon

Ordered "Hamilton: The Revolution". Just checked to see where it was, and it's marked as returned to sender. No second attempts, no contact to clarify the address. Got onto them, and they've said they've no clue where it went, it's gone, they are out of stock, tough luck Was €25, cheapest I can get it now is round €40

I've always found their tracking service to be awful. However, would it be more the courier's fault, if there was no second attempts at delivery? I've had some truly awful experiences with couriers, including one dope who thought it acceptable to throw a box with an electronic item in it, over my tall fence. Into wet grass

Ive watched 3 episodes do far. Enjoyed the first 2, but I felt a little bored by the third. Should I stick with it?

Yea i felt the same but kept going and so glad i did. The show will mind**** the crap out of you

Agent Coulson

He had The Right Stuff.. R.I.P John Glenn who died today aged 95.

Angron

Disappointed to see Dundalk got knocked out of the Europa League.

If I was given a hit man for the day and ordered to wipe out one section of society it would be a dead heat between:

- Women that get surprised when staff at the till ask for money.

- "Don't tell the bride" people/couples.

Guessing you had an unpleasant run in with one of the mentioned groups today..

Watched DTTB last night. Might have oversold my hatred but it is entirely cringe.

Lithium93_

What's DTTB? Or am I better off not knowing?

ShagNastii

Don't Tell The Bride. Yes.

beakerjoe

I watch it with the misses, I do enjoy it for the cringe factor. Its totally contrived I think. I believe RTE either picks the biggest idiot grooms they can find for the show or Its scripted more than pro wrestling.

Like the lads on this show can't be that thick, can they?

A Brad Maddox Guy

Every episode of Don't Tell The Bride follows the exact same pattern: bride describes what her ideal dress & venue is, groom picks the exact opposite and/or a sports ground. Groom spends loads of money on drink with the lads who are all useless at helping, can't afford bridesmaid dresses. Bride tries on dress she shouldn't like, cries, loves it. Bride is mortified at the church/venue, loves it. The end. I really hated only having one channel and no internet at college....

Officially finished my Xmas shopping

Pentecost

Just started mine. Nieces and nephews sorted which are usually the most time consuming. Have a fair idea what I'm getting for the rest.

Arsenal topped their Champions Lge Group to be rewarded with a trip to Bayern Munich, the team that seems to have their number the last few years. Sucks on one hand but Munich are not as invincible under Ancelotti as they have been under Pep. Also PSG, who came 2nd got handed Barcalona.

City take on Monaco, while Leicester meet Sevilla.

Man United get a good draw in the Europa Lge with a trip to St Etienne,While Spurs take on Gent

Just a random thing, but I watched an few old Simpsons and now I cant get the "First Annual Montgomery Burns Award for Outstanding Achievement in the Field of Excellence" song out of my head.

Brilliant. Myself and my mate are constantly sending each other Simpsons references and pictures on whatsapp. I never understood how some people never watched it

Ill never understand how people aren't fans. Its so universally funny (well the earlier seasons anyway). Nearly everything can be asked or answered using a Simpsons reference.

To misquote Homer "The Simpsons, the problem and solution to all of lives problems"

Lithium93_

The Simpsons Seasons 1 through 12 - Classics.

beakerjoe

I can leave season 1, some of 2 are fine but Season 3 is where it hits its stride as the comedy juggernaut. Its utterly brilliant and always great on rewatch.
