Home for Christmas and booked a hotel to try and beat the jetlag. Changed the booking from a double to a twin at the last minute to accommodate a friend who is out for pints. The hotel charged me 50 quid for it, but when I landed in the room, they had basically moved two single beds in, side by side, into the space of the double bed, so basically still a double. Second time I've seen this in Ireland, why do hotels have to rip you off?

When recipes, shopping lists etc. drop the word "of". For example, "juice 4 limes", "250g butter" etc. There is a shop in Crumlin (or thereabouts) with a permanent banner outside the butchers saying "Free Tray Large Eggs with Every €10 Spent" - would it have killed you to say ""Tray of Large Eggs".

Also TA the poor wee hens who undoubtedly spend their whole sorry lives caged and stressed because people want free eggs instead of spending a few pence more to buy free range.

Also TA "free range" that is not really free range, and needs a feckin degree to decipher the wording. For example, some will say "laid by hens free to roam in a natural environment" - this could just mean that a barn full of thousands and thousands has several automatic doors at the sides, which open for an hour on a timer. The hens that are near the outside can get out, but for the majority of girls in the middle, this will not be a reality. Also "corn fed" does not equal free range.

But you said you never carry loose change...so what do you do anytime you have say, a ten euro note, and your items come to €5.25.....

It’s trivially annoying me....

Two people will use more towels, more hot water, make more mess and there is more laundry and work in changing 2 singles rather than one double.

But its not two singles, its stlll a double as the beds are put together. The additional work is minimal, not as if we're going to be ****ting on the floor. And why does every other country seem to charge per room?

I wouldn't even object if the room was big enough for two singles. A further TA is that they refused to loan me a pair of scissors so I can wrap Christmas presents. Not holding ths against the hotel, thats the insurance culture in Ireland now

I already said it a few posts up. Any physical money that I have that is below €1, I dispose of.

If I happen to have multiple €2 coins, or €1 coins that add up to more than 5 euro, I'll ask for a fiver note. I throw away coins that are of value below €1.

I already said this.

It's not that difficult to comprehend...

€1 coin = keep
€2 coin = keep
multiple €2/€1 coins that add to a fiver or more, I ask for a note.
same goes for a tenner, so on and so forth.

1c = charity box
2c = charity box
5c = charity box
10c = charity box
20c = charity box
50c = charity box

it's the coins I remove, not an actual particular amount.

If I handed you 10 euro and you gave me €4.75 in change
I'll keep the two €2 and shove the 75c in the charity box.

If you need me to stretch any further, if I have multiple €2/€1 coins lying around at the end of my day, I put them into a money box I keep at home.

Somebody please tell me I've made sense at this point. For god's sake.

Good luck, that is. You should throw a few €1 or €2 coins (which count as loose change, trivially enough :pac:) on the Euromillions.

Fingers crossed.

My TA is everything's busy for Christmas. Took me more than 30 minutes to find parking earlier today, and I may or may not have left it on double yellows in the end. Also took me 25 minutes to get in and out of the post office. I've never seen the queue so long. And somebody smelled of poo.

A nice gesture I presume by the staff was a tin of sweeties left open at the top of the queue. Sadly it seemed to be mostly empty wrappers. Who puts empty wrappers back in ffs......

There is a tunnel under a railway bridge 100 meters from our house and at the end of the tunnel is a zebra crossing. Not the best location as cars speed through that tunnel.

There are also no streetlights by the crossing and just a few small lamps in the tunnel so it’s close the pitch dark

Yet again tonight someone nearly got knocked down as a speeder slapped on the breaks while the pedestrian was halfway across

TA’d at our no good lazy council who flood our letterbox with flyers on every topic but they can’t give us a streetlight or some flashing amber lights. Nobody lives there , no light will shine into a house if that was an issue

Oops long post sorry. Anyway my TA. I’ll write another email. Probably goes straight to trash

I would make a point of sending that photo to your local Co Co and get in touch with the press. It looks like a deathtrap to me.

You could save someone's life. It mightn't be a drivers' fault either, that looks a shítshow altogether, what county are we talking about?

Got a reply from the council which was bit of an FU

Nothing will happen as its not in the budget (fair ´nuff but how about next year?) and they were "under no obligation" to provide lights

I wasn't demanding anything, my email was polite.

I'm going to the local paper, that pedestrian crossing is a death trap.

If they could move it 5-10 metres up the road away from the bend and away from the railway tunnel that'd be amazing. Failing that a flashing amber light would be super too. All I want

Cheap toilet paper.

And not even the quality of the toilet paper itself. It's the crappy way or the crappy glue they use at the start of the roll. Cheap rolls are near impossible to start without taking 2.5 layers off. This results in an uneven start and many layers to be unfurled before you get an even roll out.
This always happens in public bogs where you'd want to wipe the seat before you sit on it. When you're having to fight back a turtle head AND a poorly glued bog roll it's trialvilly annoyingery.
To say the lest.

This 100%. I have a scooter (would prefer a car but you have to cut your cloth and all that) and recently I've hated driving it. The glare is unbelievable. I'm due an eye test with Specsavers and I'm going to get one of the pairs made into prescription sunglasses. Needing sunglasses in the middle of winter just cracks me up for some reason :pac:

Went into shopping centre toilets earlier. Only one cubicle free. Lock busted. Propped my shopping bags against the door and threw my long coat over the top of the door- at least three feet of it were visible from the other side.

Some idiot still walks in on top of me.

Young lads looking for 'sponsorship' at the door.

Not unusual or annoying you might say, though the Saturday before Xmas week seems a little odd.

Then there's the cause - 'their Xmas party, because Monday is their last day' ??

Who is it for - 'the football club' ??

And what are they doing for the sponsorship ? - 'nothin' ??

When asked wheres the money going - 'their Xmas party, because Monday is their last day' ??

Sheet in their hand is literally a knock up in Excel with 'Christmas Party' as the title. ??

Which football club is this lads ? - 'Lucan' ........ This is about 5-6 miles from Lucan ??
