clocks that are high up and when the battery runs out you have to get a chair or ladder to change the battery ... oh the effort! - in 2thousand and bloody sixteen you would think that all clocks come with 10 year battery life or something - its like living in the 14th century! ....

TA - in a short while we will all have to turn our clocks back 1 hour - in the year 2 thousand and bloody sixteen you would think that all clocks will turn themselves backwards and forwards themselves or we could just leave the bloody time alone! - its like living in the 14th century! ....

properly pee's me off (more than trivially) that my wife's motor is a hyundai getz - it only has an engine size of 1086cc - not 1100cc, not 1999cc ... so why we being charged Tax for a 1300cc motor car at €299 annually , €100 dearer than a 1ltr car - and to be honest in all fairness even €199 car tax is a bit of a steep price to pay for 1ltr car also , and realistically how many 1ltr cars can you even get now in Ireland, theres not like much of a choice you can get, especially newer small cars these days even they come with over 1ltr engine. No, i think they should change them tax bands to even €150 a year for 1ltr-1100cc cars and if they wanna scrape back the lost revenue put the deficit on people that have 1.6ltr cars and higher - I think it needs total overhaul.

When I was a child, we had a clock which had to be wound manually and my father used to have to stand up on a chair and wind it before he went to bed every night.

TA'd at how clocks still tick so loudly, you'd think in 2016 they would have silent clocks. If I ever decide to have a snooze on my couch in the living room, I have to take the clock from the mantlepiece and put it out in the hall.

i used to have one of these next to me bed as i were growing up, like water torture it was waiting for the next number to flip

It's a TA that some people are not aware of radio controlled clocks, they've been available at reasonable prices for the last 10/15 years
Always exact time and adjust automatically

Had shampoo run into my eye during my shower, tried to wipe it out with my hand and made it worse, stumbled out looking for a towel and stood on the plug for a hairdryer and then managed to burn my toast. That's just in the last half an hour.

Have you noticed the changes at the top of the screen? It's not that they made a mess of it on it, it's just I get TA'd at change.

TA - one rule for one, one rule for others - I mean like if I took me car in for NCT and it had a hole in the exhaust and was making a blowing/roaring sound it would fail .... but every day on a daily basis boy racers can drive around the roads with modded exhausts that were made on purpose to sound loud and get away with it :mad:

But as long as they switch it for the stock one for the NCT, they are grand.

TA at loopholes, well only ones that don't benefit me :rolleyes:

Buttering some toast, then putting that buttery crummy knife into a jar of jam etc. So you end up with a buttery crumb filled jar of jam.

Special place in hell for those people.
