    The X8 on the Expressway Page.

    It’s the first on your list in the post above!

    Click on the expressway link in my post above, scroll down and there is a link to the full X8 timetable in pdf format.

    Ah, it only says Dublin to Cork so I didn't click it. When you go in there's a button in the top right saying "Change Route Direction" (Last bus was at 6pm anyway it seems). Bus Éireann need to simplify the whole search so only the relevant journey comes up, rather than 18 journeys (9 x 2 ways).

    Forget Bus Eireann, if you can use air coach!

    Plenty of good options going Dublin to Cork

    That Bus Eireann one is a disaster alright, put in a journey for tomorrow, return the next day and shows one that departed half an hour ago

    Bus reann website. Just checked it for first time in about 15 years and it, amazingly, is just as profoundly awful an experience as it was in the late 1990s and in precisely the same way.

    I want to know the bus times. I do not want to jump through all your thick-as-pigsh "You must choose a ticket" hardsell. Then, when I key in the To and From I get every fúcking route which has either of those places. My God, who is this arsehole web designer?

    No, I just want the route I chose; why do you ask us to put in a To and From placename if you throw all these superfluous timetables at us anyway? A simple fúcking bus timetable. Complete arseholes who are at least 20 years of not giving a fúck about the tons of negative feedback.

    The journey planner is a load of old sh1te alright, Iarnod Eireann is a terrible website too, if you put the info you have into Getting There.ie, they will break it down and give you the direct answer rather than a phuckload of routes.

    If you want to get into it, you got to get out of it. (Hawkwind 1982)

    I have a thorn in my foot for the last few weeks, tried to get it out, but no joy. I finally made an appointment with the GP, and asked the local pharmacist what I should expect he would do. "Inject the foot with local anaesthetic, then dig it out". Fecking terrified now.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 324 ✭✭nermal15


    TA that I thought I was feeling much better today, only to be lying here awake at 4.30 with a horribly swollen throat and no sign of sleep.

    I’m also suddenly starving.

    Are you eating as normal even though you're sick? I always find when I'm sick that food and eating is the last thing on my mind and then, all of a sudden I'm starving.

    When you stub your toe or otherwise cause great pain to yourself and the other half proceeds to interview you on what happened. This is especially annoying when it’s blatantly obvious that I banged an appendage off something and that I’m not in a position to answer a series of questions.

    Dont fret the GP will use numbing cream maybe and not need to inject at all .Ask him if thats possible .

    I have shingles.

    I am 32, in good health, living in the 21st century, and I have motherf*cking shingles. I think I'd have been less disgusted if the doctor had told me it was leprosy!

    I'm now being treated like an absolute pariah by my family and housemates etc. :( Even though it's not REALLY contagious to any of them ... it just sounds gross.

    Shingles FFS!

    Its a form of chicken pox caused by the dormant varicella virus in someone who already had chicken pox

    (Only contagious if exposed and the other person never had chicken pox )

    Console yourself that the younger you are the less debilitating the effects. I had them in my mid 20's and didn't even miss work. As I recall it, the only discomfort was if I got sweaty armpits it stung like hell so my sympathy on the warm weather!

    I also had to ring the doctor because of the amount of fellas having a panic attack that I was Thyphoid Mary and he just laughed. You'll be over it in a week, no worries, and you are clear for life.

    A murder of crows fly around my estate and back garden at the same hour every single morning and caw extremely loudly as if they were fully aware they were waking me up at half 7 when I'm off work. What makes it worse is that my next door neighbour thought it was a great f*cking idea to have bird food out, in a cage, for them to pick at, prolonging their stay.

    I bloody hate crows!

    That reminnds me of the old Tony Hancock show when a woman got on a full bus and said to him 'if you were any kind of gentleman you'd offer me your seat' he replied 'not on your nelly, you wanted equality, well now you've got it' :D

    I had them 3 years ago at 28. I couldn’t believe it, no idea where it came from. Just 3 big red spots on my lower back. My family were disgusted saying it’s an old dear’s disease. I’d never heard of anyone my age getting shingles.
    The doctor said if they come back within 3 months it might be cause for concern. She also told me her daughter who is my age had them too which gave some comfort. If they don’t reappear soon after, you’re grand.

    I'm so sorry! My stepfather in his late 40s just had shingles and it completely fcuked him over for 3 months, he was in so much pain.
    I hope you're getting well soon!

    Why does 'ain't got time to fix the shingles, ain't got time to fix the floor' keep running in my head - apologies to the suffers and get well soon.

    :( my daughter ended up in hospital when she was 6 months old due to complications from the chicken pox. The nurses all said “at least chicken pox is done for her now”.
    I didn’t know you could get it more than once :(

    Her first dose was only a few spots and the GP said it probably was so mild that her immune system didnt kick in . Her second dose was much more extensive

    My sister bought me an electric fly zapper on amazon. It's the best present I've ever received. I hate flies. You plug it in, they're attracted to the light, they die, you're happy. I highly recommend one. It only makes noise when it's actually killing something and it's literally just a sharp kind of snap noise and then done.

    Feeling sorry for myself. Have a bad infection, my toilet is broken and keeps flushing water and my bulbs keep blowing so I'm working in the dark as I am too weak to get to the shops to buy another one.
    My neighbours have a karaoke machine and a ping pong table and it's chaos listening to Asian broken English versions of Taylor Swift hits.
    All in all, not having a good day.
