I never heard that now but the people I work with their granny's have probably passed away so it would never come up, I know a few people from North Cork near the Kerry border and they also refer to their mother's as Mom and it's no way an American thing

I presume it stems from the Irish " mo mhamaí " pronounced momaí in Cork and Kerry

Yes I would think that's the origins of it, it's actually nice, I have first cousins in Kanturk which would be near enough the Cork/Kerry border and they would always enquire of me "how's your Mom" when asking about my mother

I'm from Cork and my mother is from Kerry. Herself and her sisters/brothers would have always said 'mom', so in turn myself, my brothers and all the cousins have always said 'mom' too.

I never realised there was anything strange about it until I was in college and got ferocious abuse from my housemates about it.

Yes it's definitely a Kerry/North Cork thing, I was thinking did it stem from all the emigration back there throughout the years, when they came back from America

More annoying than ""trivial" but still... fly tipping. Drove by a green near parents and there were a few black bags of rubbish in the centre.

To make matters worse, there was recycling stuff in there.

Lazy and ignorant

We live on a very busy main road and have a very long driveway, which we can't fully see from the house. We have a really bad problem with people pulling in and dumping their rubbish in behind the trees which run along our driveway. I'm talking about large black bags of rubbish, once there was the packaging off some IKEA furniture dumped down there. We contact the council every time it happens, they come and take away the rubbish and inspect for any identifying information.
Fly tipping is so vile.

When I contact a service on fb, after back and forth they say, it will be on my page when I have it in/a vacancy!
I wish I could have pawned off the presales work like that when I was self-employed or working in sales!

I despise talking on the phone. I tried to contact a hairdresser last week through FB. Their page said 'message us to make an appointment' so I did. They replied with, 'sure no problem just call the salon and we'll get that booked in for you'. When I said 'Oh I thought you could book through this' she said no, you have to call the salon. :rolleyes:
Where's that new siri thing that calls people for you when you need it?

Finally took the plunge and joined tinder for the first time since my break up a few months ago.
The first profile suggested was my ex's best friend. The next offered was my brother.
I was starting to lose hope, but continued swiping, hoping for the best, until I came across my leaving cert maths teacher.
I have now deleted tinder.

I'm from Cork and I was also raised to say "mom", as were my cousins and friends. I get some weird looks too when I say mom instead of mam, especially when I lived in Dublin.

So the date went well then ??? :D:D

(Sorry, will now go and say ten Hail Mary's and think about what I did!)

Ppl who look blank when I use shorthand they hear every day in THEIR JOBS.
When I was leaving the shopping trolley back yes, I was asked if I had a euro, I gave them the one from the trolley, they returned it in 2x50c coins!
Websites that depend on links that don't work to access important info/equipment.
That's it's a bank hol tue and everyone I have phoned up to now, has been tired and I'll bet ultimately useless. Other ppl asking cheerily if I had a good bank hol when they know I was working.
Why do ppl with the most incomprehensible logic or accent insist on talking to me!!!!
My possible overuse of commas.

It's nice to keep the euro for the trolley - I know a few people who have the same coin for years!

I see, but why else would someone ask you for a Euro when getting a trolley?

I gave then the euro out of the trolley, so I would hope they copped on that it's my trolley euro and gave it back in the same domination as it was given. Because the banks are messing about with change services it can be hard to get single euro coins there.

I still don't get it...wouldn't you have had to wait for them to finish their shopping to get your euro back?

New Home

So was this someone you knew, then? I mean, if they had had a Euro for the trolley already they wouldn't have asked you for one. I know the coin is handy to have for that, but why would you give it to them if it was your trolley coin and you didn't know them? I'm still lost.

Old hector is currently studying for his finals and thought that it would be a good idea to go to the local library to do a few hours study.

He was getting some good work done.

I've noticed that some mothers think it is a good idea to bring little Johnny into the library while he is screaming his stones off.

Yes, it was someone I knew, who knew that Im forced by work timetables to shop at all hours where changed may not be available, that's why it was so annoying that when they paid it back(they only need it for a short while) they were too lazy to find the domination I gave it in.

I would not give money to a stranger given the above circumstances.

Couple of weeks before the Leaving Cert I was dropping some books back to the Library. Three or four very serious students with their heads in Chemistry books.

Kid starts screaming like a banshee on acid, takes the mother a good minute or two to get off her phone and even do anything - and her response is to wheel the brat NEARER the students and ask "Darcey why don't you choose a nice book ?" - they weren't even in the kids' bit - she went there to use the phone!!!!

If you breed - PARENT THE DAMN THING!!!!!

Ah ok, so it was a loan of your coin rather than exchanging coins for someone. Ok, now it makes sense. Like lending someone one of your good books to read and getting it back in tatters.

Edit: you need to get yourself one of these.

I would have thought, outside Dublin, that Tindr is not suitable for Irish towns and cities because they are too small.

Exactly,
Oddly while I don't routinely lose my trolley euro's, those trolley coins walk off my keyring.

I suspect the newly moved and broke youngsters for the trolley token theft.

My Leaving Cert Irish teacher was a big ridey ride, I'd be delighted if I saw him on Tinder!

Ah, Peadar. Many's the class I spent having entirely inappropriate thoughts about him.

(In my defence, he was only about 22.)

Watching bake off from day one on Netflix at the moment. Have got to season four and one of the contestants is trivially annoying me every time I see them on the screen.... Contemplating just skipping to season 5.

The plural of 'craft' as in spacecraft or aircraft is just craft. Not crafts.

"Many alien spacecraft" not "Many alien spacecrafts"

I expected better from UFO watchers...

How do you explain the "Arts and Crafts movement", then? Oh, right, it's those pesky aliens again.

Yes.

Crafts is right when your talking about arts and crafts. The government made the two uses of the word craft similar except for the plural usage so that UFO seekers would confuse the two and irritate others so they wouldn't listen to their theories

If it hadn't been for those pesky aliens...

Being so bloody socially awkward.

I was mid power-walk yesterday when I bumped into a woman that I barely know but I had to stop and talk to her. Everything was going grand, making small talk and chatting about a wedding I'm going to in a couple of weeks.
Then as we were leaving she said 'Enjoy the wedding', and I said 'You too'.

Complained AGAIN about the idiot riding his bike through the station - convinced now it's someone's kid or relative.

Told the Irish Rail dude that bikes weren't allowed on commuter trains before 10am - he goes "that's not right".

Yes it is, it's on your website, and app, and Twitter coverage told me and there's a poster right there - points - saying it.

"Well, I don't usually work mornings".
