Are you sure? I heard it loads of times in shops and on the radio over the past few weeks. What stations have actually banned it?

Children's birthday parties are like an episode of Black Mirror these days. All the little commodities lined up at some play centre for their nuggets/sausages while their owners snap away relentlessly as if it were feeding time at the zoo. It's weird.

The absolute fcukin gobsh1te that he is Ronan keating started that sh1te when he wouldn't sing the words.he should have been told if you're not willing to sing the song as it was written rev up and fcuk off.nobody wants to hear your watered down horse sh1te

To be fair to Ronan Keating he could easily lose his fanbase by using the original lyrics. Shane Mcgowan fans on the other hand wouldn't give a crap.

That's true. But I wonder why did he bother covering that song?
Like why bother trying to cover one of the best songs ever when you have no chance of making it 'better'?
And then to change the words of it too - sacrilege!!

I read an article online (I was bored!!) where the Spice Girls are changing the words to Spice Up Your Life as "yellow man in Timbuktu" is now racist.

I felt a bit strange going to bed last night. I thought it was the Christmas jumper I had on that was making me itchy but I woke up about two hours later, rash all over and lips like sausages. Had to drive myself to west doc where the doctor was waiting at the door with an epi pen. I’ve loads of allergies and would usually carry one but didn’t have one with me at this time. Not sure what caused the reaction, some are saying it was the prawns personally myself I think it was mass.

Someone trying to hack into all my social media accounts, the same week that my card details were stolen :mad:

When someone decides to hoover during the best part of the film and the remote needs new batteries.

I'm cold. Sitting beside a stove stuffed with blazing firewood and I'm cold.

Trying to change to a new phone. S5 - S8. I suppose it's easy when you know how. SIM card is a different size too. I'll leave it til tomorrow to sort out when I'm here on my own for a few hours and have a bit of time to sort it.

The Young Offenders Xmas episode was absolutely appalling.

A mate has just done that on WhatsApp. He's 60 something! No shame!

Someone of an age to know better sent me pics of what he got to me via pm, then followed inexplicably by a pic of a bottle of wine and then a pic of a pavalova.

Sore jaw for the past few days and a nicely developing cough thats kept me up all night. So I'm grumpy and tired and dunno what to do with myself.

That should be quite simple...

If your old phone has an older android version you can try Kies as well.

If you want to cut the Sim card you’ll find a lot of videos online. Otherwise just ask in a shop. I’m sure they can help for small money and within a few minutes.

Have fun with it...:D

Getting sick of Christmas very fast now.

Playing happy families can only last so long.

That one posh family member that shows up once a year.. you really shouldn't have

Trigger Happy · 26-12-2018 5:21pm

My memory is muck. People saying hello to me while out on a walk and me with no idea who they are.
Smiling inanely at everyone to avoid offending any.

That is a TH for me when I do it to someone and I can see the lost look on their face, but a major TA when I am on the receiving end.

Trying to apply for a job.

Must have registered for company's website twice before, on both my main email accounts, as neither will allow me to register with these accounts. But damned if I know my username or password for either, and I think I have the security questions right, but evidently not as they're not resending me my password. It's a sign the job's not for me, right?
