Its annoying enough now that certain words can't be spoken, the 'N' word being the most famous, even when not being used in the context to insult someone, but now we aren't even printing them, instead putting in asterisks to mask them?

Look at this piece in the Indo

I was called a fa***t every day ......

Why can the piece not actually print the word? We all read it in our heads when we see the headline anyway!

I wonder if Brendan Courtney, when being interviewed by the newspaper, tried to pronounce it with the asterisks?

The funny thing about that is that people I'd consider to have a really Dublin accent then turn around and ask for a translator when their thousand-words-a-second Dublin friend arrives on the scene to partake in the conversation. Hehe. Much more entertaining and rooted in this city than the loike, you know, obviously, basically loike crowd whose accent is rooted in US or, to a lesser extent, British tv.

Anyway, my three year old has managed to make two syllables out of the English words 'school' and 'cool' so I give up.

The funniest bit is that in the address bar it reads as "I was called fat every single day"

And I thought "Oh this must be some weight loss thing or one of those 'fat people programs', where they finally get off thier @rse and do something about it.
But, for some reason they have to talk about it constantly and tell the world a backstory.

How wrong I was.

To be honest I like it is natural.
Whereas the accent normally used by HR departments and like seem forced.
The Orr-Tee-eeee accent.
People who are born in Ireland but cannot say Gardai - it turns into 'Goooor-deee' even on state television news!
Everything is elongated unnecessarily some cannot even say OK it turns into 'OOOOOOOOOOOOOOh-Kaaaaaaaaay'.

And that is supposed to sound good?
Intelligent?

It is a roight pain in the orse.
Much more annoying then any natural working class accent

There's the whole point of it.

If we're being honest, Brendan isn't slow. Telling these stories he finds hard are keeping him in the spotlight, keeping him relevant and probably continues to get him work and a wage.

Why would be ever stop talking about it?

Stuck on the train with 2 of the most annoying parents I've ever seen. One is telling his son, who is screaming bloody murder, that it's "okay to express yourself son", the child can barely speak and has been screaming for 12 minutes now. Then the other is allowing his child to play a game on his tablet with the volume up as high as it can go, so high that I can still hear it even with my earphones turned up as high as they go. Everytime this one loses, he roars, everytime he wins, he roars.

There should be at least one child free carriage on the train.

Those eyebrows.
You know the ones.
I d. don't know why they annoy me so much but I really hate them.
It's an age thing, I guess.

The big eyebrows that seem to have a life of their own and don't belong on anyone's face. I think I know the ones you're talking about. They're hideous.

Big, thick, black, hard edged.
Even when they are not so big they still look ridiculous to me. It seems every woman under the age of 30 has them along with American accents.

Those brows :eek: It's all getting ludicrous, what women must do to fit in. My neighbour is going to a wedding next weekend. She has a nice deep tan atm from the heatwave but insists on getting sprayed orange for the wedding. Why? because everyone else wil have fake tan over their real tan and she doesn't want to stand out. Jesus wept!

I told my friend she drew her eyebrows on too high.
She looked surprised.

You can always use the on-screen keyboard. A pain, I know, but better than nothing.

Plug in USB keyboard will sort that out.

External keyboard too, a lot of the left side keys don't work on the laptop for me, so have an external one plugged in.

I've been using an external keyboard for the guts of a year and a half, now, and the on-screen keyboard for about a year before that. Thank you, Toshiba. Would not recommend, would not buy again.

I always associate the thin eyebrows with the unnecessarily big hoopy ear-rings and rough exterior, it is/was like a warning sign to keep clear.....

My neighbours have this really hyperactive labrador who spends his days in a pretty small wooden kennel and gets his run time in the evening. They needed to take one of the kids to the hospital. Now the dog is capable to eat through pretty much anything, so he was bored and ate through the fence and ran down to road, because some eejit is keeping their female dog in heat out the whole day.
We spent an hour to catch the dog and bring him back. Just invest in a steelframed kennel please for the sake of everyone.

It happened me the other night. I was drifting off into a very nice dream when some ignorant neanderthal beeped his horn outside, immediately snapping me awake.
My old neighbor in Limerick was worse. He worked as a night courier and he used to turn his engine on with the lights on full and then leave the car running for at least 20 minutes before driving off at 3am in the morning 😒

Recruitment agents.

I get that it’s a sales job with lots of pressure but such sloppiness, oh dear.

I dealt with an agency last year when job hunting. Today they sent an application to me but I’m not a recruiter. Must have gotten mike on autocomplete in outlook. I would get killed in my job if I sent information to the wrong client and caused a data breach but meh, just a CV so be it

Had a quick glance and the whole thing was riddled with errors. Even the agents name was spelled wrong. Technical terms look close but not correct. Even the line about word & excel made little sense.

I’m sure there are fantastic recruitment agents out there but some are jokers
