Choppers that don't put enough salt and vinegar on chips. A teeny sprinkle of both just on the top few chips is not seasoned enough :mad:

Vinegar is vile. Chippers that automatically assume you want vinegar, or heavy handed with the salt. Unless you asked for it, give some sachets and away you go.

Bah humbug I love salt and vinegar. Only one takeaway in 'Scorthy that puts enough on without needing to sit and watch them put it on.

haircut place used to always be 8 or 10 euro and I'd give a 2 euro tip, today it was 15 euro and I still gave a euro tip because it happened so fast. I'm shaking with the adrenaline wearing off, my whole life flashed before my eyes as I handed over a second tenner.

the boom is back baby

Goddamn stinking head cold again . The neighbours dog woke me barking it's head off at 6.30 and I couldn't get back to sleep. If I had a euro for everytime I have blown my nose since then I'd be rolling in it. The little one slept till 9.15 which she never does, the injustice of it all:(
I can't taste and hate eating so. I'm drinking a hot Port and I may as well be drinking hot water. FML:(

I imagined you rolling in your own snot instead of euros but maybe you are!

I had just finished a run earlier and went for the footballers one-fingered nose blow. It worked a little too well as it caused a nose bleed and sent a lovely spray of blood over the front of my white top.

Up half the night crying and wriggling in almighty pain.

Hope it is nothing serious.

Sound of a vacuum cleaner. Very ugly sound. Esp if someone is banging it against the bottom of your bedroom door.

You're right, the boom is back.

Having a social night out in a well known tavern in Dublin last week, I should have taken a mortgage out first, the price kept increasing at the end of the night it was
E6.80 for a pint of Hop House brew
and
E6.20 for a pint of Bulmers
But a good night was had by all...:D

My mum used to switch it on to get us to sleep as kids, I love it.
And then as a teen to hammer against the bottom of the bedroom door, not so soothing.

From 1960: the old man fitted speakers in our bedrooms, 11 foot ceilings, wire back to the new HMV radio as the alarm clock for Sundays, every day in Lent and "trips" to Dublin.
’O’Donnell Abú was the startup tune

after the "pips"

As soon as I knew enough, I fed mains into them for an instant!
The nail in the main fuse board held up long enough:D

TA: After a very long saga with my phone being stolen three weeks ago, I finally got it back fixed today and have realised it's far too big for me.

They'd want to be sprinkling cocaine on them for me to justify paying that much.

Arguments over nothing. Nobody wins and everyone's upset. Just deep breaths people, that's all you need.

Stoopid Tinder Match has just vanished into thin air after I messaged him. Ugh! :rolleyes::rolleyes:

people who use the word 'tick' when they mean 'thick'. See it quite a bit here.

Ya ticks.

A sick toddler. 4.5 hours tonight for me to get the poor thing to sleep. She cried, and cried and just wanted to lie outside the cot with me. When she did she wanted something else, and something else, and it went on and on. That's the past five days of this with no end in sight and the crèche not willing to accept her. Enjoy your holidays, indeed! In a heartbeat I'd rather be in work (and it's impossible to get important work done at home either).

All across Dublin (and a few expensive areas of other cities) both parents are in our "modern" society expected to work fulltime jobs and deal with this sort of stuff on a quotidian basis. My mother was able to stay at home and raise us all in Dublin but then again they paid £4500 for a house in 1965 that would be worth c. €650,000 today. There's the problem, right there.

It's a bullshít society "advance" when entirely because of property prices two parents must now work outside the home to maintain a decent standard of living in Dublin when 30 or 40 years ago one parent working outside the home could do it. Heaven forfend that the shower of incompetents and mé féiners in power would cut the horseshíte, roll up their sleeves and address the housing supply crisis in Dublin. The entire travesty screams a lack of will by the Fine Gael government of this state and its supporters in Fianna Fáil. Two sides to the one right-wing coin. Parasitic arseholes.

/end rant.

There was a UFC fight on at 5am this morning and some ******* **** in you laugh you lose posted a pic which gave away the result.

Not everyone can stay up/get up to watch the fight ffs

Some guy who lives on the ground floor of my apartment block uses the most disgusting deodorant, and the smell wafts throughout the whole hallway. It chokes me when I'm walking though. It's that really cheap, heavy cloying smell too, not a nice fresh, sporty one. It also smells like it has been sprayed on over stale sweat too in the grand scale of 2016, it's not that serious, but still. Ugh.

While I agree it's annoying, you can't expect to come online and not see something. Be more careful in future if ya can. It's happened me too and it's a buzz kill!

Cheers - I thought I was being careful staying off FB and other sites but I wasn't expecting it there..

Sitting in traffic yesterday and the sublime "Don't You Want Me" by The Human League came on the radio. I was having a fantastic time singing along until the radio station just cut into the song right before the second chorus :mad: and what made it worse, it wasn't cut short for news or even ads- they played the station jingle and then went on to play some Ed Sheehan muck :mad:

The absolute worst is when they cut across a tune (and Don't You Want Me is definitely a tune btw) to tell you that they're "The Most Music Station- Less Talk,More Music". The hypocritical b*stards.
