Constantly getting emails from valid businesses saying 'You have been chosen!!' for various deals... knowing it's the same bloody email everyone else in the list has been sent...





I'm so so honoured.

I have loads of work I should be doing and deadlines that are still far away but I know it'll come down to a week before and I'll be going grey with the pressure but I still can't force myself to start now

what is the story with my inability to get stuff done slowly in small chunks rather than forcing though it and just barely meeting the deadlines

Osarusan, I'm annoyed at one of your posts:

When somebody complains 'Hey, I'm getting loads of ads for Russian Brides/Asian singles/etc, so can you get those ads off your website' and it has to be explained to them that actually, the ads are personalised based on their own user habits.

Always makes me smile.

Because I read that, I'm now getting lots of ads about 'Russian brides', something I never got before. I'm definitely not part of their target audience, so, thanks a lot for that! :mad:



:pac:

A few years ago I had a falling out with someone for running his mouth, and neither of us has spoken to each other since. Except he still talks to my oh. And on the rare occasion we've met since we both ignore each other there's not even the "passing yourself" hello between us. But he's outside here the past 40 mins I'd say fixing something for himself, he's not home from gym yet, and it's Baltic.
I'm TAd because I'm so stubborn my heart has an arguemebt with my head every time it wants to beat and I'm still angry with him but it still cold, very cold, and making him a cup of tea wouldn't kill me but I hate giving in

I never suffered from this before, but over the last few days my right eye has become very watery.

There's no apparent infection or issue with it.

I'm constantly blinking having to dry my eye

That may actually be a sign of a dry eye, your eye is overcompensating by making more tears. Some over the counter eye drops might do the trick. It is so annoying though, my eyes stream in any bit of cold or a breeze, I wipe my eyes the whole way down to the school and back in the mornings:(

Fock that carry on, that's worse than using a beer mat to do the same thing!

I once saw a barman scoop a cockroach out of the frothy head on a pint of Guinness. Luckily the customer was an American tourist who took the pint and said "I always wondered why you guys did that".

Amy Huberman.

This times ten, like Beyoncé, she's probably a nice person but her (anfd Beyoncé too) marketing /pr team just over do it with her and is clearly a wooden actress (who would be suited as a supporting role not as a lead)..so the Irish independent and RTE, stop it with the pushing of Amy as someone we all love and want more of

James Corden and his crappy car karaoke,,,, and everything else that involves that gimp

Videos of Irish Mammies reaction to jimmy/mary returning....ya its old and grating

Irish Mammies memes or the most Irish x ever memes are lame too

Just don't get the love for her at all. And she seems fake.

This TA's me every time I'm home - having to wait an hour for a bus to the city centre from my mum's house if you want to go out at the wrong time on a Sunday is some truly backwards crap.

On Sunday I got from East to West in London in an hour. TA that it would take 3 times as long in Dublin

Sales people. I made an enquiry re: a product - made it clear it was an enquiry. The sales person for the past 3 weeks has called me at least 3/4 times a week and today just called my business landline. I did not give that number to her. How is this behaviour supposed to encourage a person to buy what you're offering when you're actually bordering on stalking

I bought some stuff of one of those travelling frozen food salesmen . He started calling to my door every month. Called once waited an hour and washed his car while waiting. Next time he called he waited FOR 3 HOURS. He called back later that night around 8.30. Had to threaten him with the guards. Haven't seen him around since.

My TA is getting jeep ready for test and spotting more and more things that need fixing. Going to fix front window winder give it a wash and let it off.
Oh and if i hit any keys on lower row of phone keypad i hit space instead and must go back to correct it.

I arrived home the other day and there was some sort of sales guy/chugger just after leaving my door and on to my neighbours. I was holding loads of sh*t in my hands and was trying to open the door and yer man is just standing there smiling at me.
Get inside, close the door, DING DONG.

I put down the stuff I was carrying and opened the door. My son ran in with his mate and started roaring at me about food.

'Hi sir, I know you are just home....'
'Stop right there, you see I have just landed in with a d*ckload of sh*t in my hands, I have 2 young lads hounding me for sh*t, you havn't given me a f*cking second to even take off my jacket, apologies for cursing, but there is no f*cking chance that I'm going to consider talking to you now.'
'Can I come back later.'
'Probably not a good idea'
'Who supplies your gas'
'Your company will not be. Peace Out Homeboy'

Ordered a hape of stuff online yesterday.

I was delighted to find this local dublin outdoor shop with a pretty crap, but functional website. I'd prefer to buy from smaller businesses where possible.

Got a call this morning to say "yeh three of them are old stock, we won't be getting them back in". Not even a sorry. Asked if I wanted the rest of the items I said yes. Then copped that not sending the three items would bring me below the free delivery threshold so I called back to see if they were going to charge my delivery on the two (cheapest) items and they said yes so I told them to just refund the lot.

Up to 5 working days to get the money back too. Shower of absolute bastards. Why let me buy stuff on your site if you've no intention of fulfilling the order?

I've been watching a lot of 'Homes Under the Hammer' recently for no particular reason. Good Lord, Lucy Alexander always sounds like she's having an asthma attack when she's talking - hand that woman an inhaler!!
