I just told a colleague that I was out with last night that I am hanging today and just want to go home, have some tea, watch Netlix and chill.

Apparently he took it as some kind of invitation... :eek:

I had to drive across the city this morn and the amount of ass*ole drivers around had to be seen to be believed. Sure just open your door out full just as Im passing and be sure to pull out with no fcuking indicators and just run across the road in front of me dodging the rain because its better to get knocked down that get wet.
Im going to buy a banger and ram into anyone that pulls out without checking their mirror,open out your door and Im going to blow it off and if you run out in front of me you better be a fast fcukin runner. As for the cyclists...I wont even go there:mad:

When I win the lotto Im building a road network just for boardsies:pac:

I suspect that a lot of boardsies are bad drivers, honking their horn all the time, giving other drivers the finger and ignoring the rules of the road.

Best keep it a more select road network user group!

So I buy a roll of black bin liners earlier, remove the packaging and then rip a bin bag from the roll. I then spent the next fives minutes trying to grip & physically separate the plastic tips of the bin bag. It's the 21st and surely manufacturers are capable of producing bin bags, that don't require MacGyver skills to open them.:(

...only to find that I've been trying to open the wrong end of the bin bag!

Seeing there is a new post on one of my other favourite threads, get all excited only to find it's not a new story but a jokey/ smart ass reply to a post before it. I need to get out more !

Was it by any chance the "Creepy / Unnerving Things" thread?

"Sorry, this seller does not deliver to Ireland"

Well f*ck.You. You didn't have a problem coming over during the 12th Century!

I heard a rumour that An Post are pondering the setting up a UK address for Irish shoppers, then they'll deliver them to your address as normal,
true or not I don't know, but would be handy.

Do parcel motel not do something similar already, that they give you a virtual address or some such that they take delivery in the UK, and then it's delivered down to the nearest parcel motel depot.

I think that's the way it works, off the top of my head and just from talking to other people, I've never had to use it myself.


Actually, I know it's been mentioned here before, and I wasn't sure what AIB advert everyone was talking about because as far as I was concerned - they're all annoying!

But, oh wow have AIB even outdone themselves this time with their "Do you always give the ball back?". I don't know who they think they're appealing to, or trying to sell mortgage packages to, because it sure as hell isn't children buying them! :rolleyes:

Colser

Why is he asking about always getting the ball back when he seems to be living miles away? I dont get it..

TAing when Im watching something I recorded and forget to fast forward through the ads and then trying to FF through them when Im watching stuff thats not recorded.

lol, there is oddballs every where you know, I am always approached by randomers (I don't know maybe I give off a vibe) and chuggers but I don't invite the interaction -though maybe I'm too polite to them when they talk to me- and they do exist in Limerick too, as I was once approached by a schizophrenic at a bus stop, nice lady but quite random

I agree and that select group should be the regulars of the TA thread.

No doubt our driving is of such an extremely high standard, the slightest driving error is likely to bring down our wrath. So it's probably best to keep mere mortals off our road network.

That said, I predict that this proposal could turn out to be very TA. Since we'd probably end up with no driving related rants anymore.:(

Its been 5 days since I read or posted on boards because I've just been too busy and tired. I was having withdrawal symptoms.

My cats won't stop playing. I just want them to snuggle and be cute.

My phone charger is about to give way and not work anymore. So annoying when they don't last for longer than a couple of months!

Itches that just won't go away!!!

I missed this thread. I've had millions of TA's over the past few days but right now I can't remember them. I've the memory of a goldfish.

They have a depot in Newtonabbey, Co. Antrim and you're assigned a slot there based on your customer ID. This gives you a UK address, kosher postcode and all. Nightline couriers do the shunting from there to various pickup points down here. Great facility.

Frequently use it even when the seller posts to Ireland as the parcel motel cost is usually less (frequently significantly less) than the additional cost the seller charges to post to an Irish rather than UK address. This, plus the convenience of being able to pick up the parcel at a time when it suits me rather than having someone available to accept delivery makes it an attractive option for me.

If people drive faster in the rain then they shouldn't be on the road.

The word 'detox', what a load of marketing bull****! Your body can detox itself without use of your shite product or diet. It doesn't need to be 'cleansed' or 'rinsed'. Sad the amount of books and products sold on the basis of using this word! :mad:

Absolutely. PM charge €3.95 per delivery, and with Amazon UK and eBay and the like UK delivery is often free, so even when sellers do post to Ireland at some outrageous charge PM is way better. You pick up your stuff from automated depots with loads of little compartments that open automatically using your phone number and a PIN they send you per-delivery. They used to be in cahoots with Topaz and had these systems in their forecourts, but I think that came apart. My local one is in a shopping-centre car-park these days.

I came into work early this morning and raided the house for something to snack on at my desk before leaving. I was looking for some sort of granola bar but found a f*cking doughnut so grabbed that bad boy.

Got into the office all excited about the pastry delight, sat down at my desk with a cup of coffee and unwrapped the doughnut. It felt a small bit sticky.

Wolfed the f*cker down. It was covered in sugar and some sort of icing and i'm guessing glue. I'm normally proud of when I eat something that's so bad that I need to wash myself after, but this one is taking the p*ss. I had to wash my face, hands, arms and beard afterwards.
I probably need to get a new keyboard and mouse from IT as it feels yucky. I'm waiting for the cleaner to appear in the office to ask for her idustrial strenght clearner to sort out my desk. The empty coffee mug is still on my desk and I'm afraid to touch it in case my hand sticks to it.

It was a delicious doughnut, but I not satisfied with the level of cleanup required afterwards.

Deals (from a certain company) that purport to be discounted based on the buying power of groups, and the f*cking repetition of them. Page after page of "offers" of dental scale and treatment, Escape to (from?) Roscommon, Steak on a stone, pedicures and designer bags and watches that instantly lose value when 80% is knocked of their retail price. I'm also not interested in DVD rental, a cut, blowdry and condition or having my gutters serviced :eek:

All laptops are shít. All of them, inclulding the ones that cost around €2,000. Silly little toys with their silly little single-spindle mass-storage, and people depending on a roller-bearing the size of a pinhead or a mainboard slapped together in a rice-paddy to hold all their, sometimes valuable, data. At least use a backup, in the name a' Cheeses! "But... but... you're a computer person! Fix it!! Please!!?!??!"

I was trying to be all organised today and have it that I didn't have to set foot in a shop tomorrow. I got all the stuff I needed for tomorrow's dinner, and realised I'd forgotten the tin of tomatoes when I got home.
Putting petrol into the car, and going over the amount I wanted by one poxy cent. Having to pay that cent, because I'm paying by card

Got my new passport yesterday in the post and put my signature in the personal details bit (photo page) and realised that it was changed to the following paper page. I'm hoping I haven't voided my passport now, is it just a matter of putting a single line through incorrect signature.

You could also get a crow guard installed while he is up there, keep the cost down and all that;)

May as well consider if the guttering is being done, can anything else be added to the deal.

How sad must it to be so insecure that you have to have the general public witness you doing a basic exercise that you'd normally do at home.
Gom.

Is there some kind of epidemic of this in Galway? Around 7 o'clock on Monday evening I witnessed something similar at the entrance to Dunnes in Terryland. Young lad, prostrate on the path, going ninety-to-the-dozen with the press-ups, presumably trying to impress some young wan.

Cannot abide the button fly. Also, whatever happened to hook and eye closures on trousers? So much more comfortable than waist buttons.

I was hungry and lazy Wednesday evening, so I picked up a Thai Red curry to reheat in Tesco. Shovelled it in and burned the gob off meself, I'm still in bits today with a raw patch on the inside of my cheek. To make it worse, it was a puny portion, only about 5 little prawns in it. I would have eaten 3 of them

This morning an acquaintance on FB posts*"__ is a lovely name for my baby. F**k off anyone who has a problem with it"

Twelve hours earlier (after 100th pic of said baby): just look at the latest picture of my baby, a prospective of which no-one else ever in the history of social media has ever taken.

Two hours after the earlier complaining post: "anyone know where someone can buy cute baby Christmas clothes?"

An hour later: Same person posts a pic of the baby in a different pose.

One thinks that the constant posting of her baba is a contributing factor to whatever criticism she is receiving.
