    The fcuking wind. I'm sick of it. Paid €420 to have our fence repaired last week and I was fully convinced I'd wake up to find it back down again this morning. It wasn't, fair dues to the carpenter, but I was awake all night with the howling and my sister insisted we put the house alarm on so I was on edge waiting for that to go off too. Which it did, needless to say.

    There’s a job that I really want to apply for, it would be ideal for me and I’d love it. I think I meet all the criteria, but there’s one catch, one of the criteria is a full driving license for at least 2 years. I have mine a year and a half :(:(:(

    People who spell licence with an s.

    That depends on the context.
    I can never remember the correct usage.
    Edit :
    S is used when it's a verb.
    I will license the event buy issuing it with a licence.

    Licence the noun always has a c.

    Licensing as a verb uses the s.

    Noun with a C . (I can drive I have a licence)

    Verb with an S (because you have a licence ..I am giving you license to drive my car)

    Unless you live in America..and both are spelled with an S :D

    Standing behind a couple in Starbucks and they've gotten stuck on the order. The blonde/dark roast question threw them, the follow up choice of milk question had them so flustered it was comical. How can you queue up for ages then get stuck when it comes time to order?

    The same way aul wans in a supermarket have to wait until after all of their groceries are scanned to get the money ready. You've done this a million times Maureen, you know the drill. It's like it's a brand new concept each and every time. They are NEVER ready. Get your bloody purse out and just....

    Have NCT early tomorrow morning so decided to get car emptied etc in daylight. As I was removing the hubcaps I noticed a crack in one of the tyres. Barely made it to the garage in time get a replacement.

    They have sold out, so as a business model goes it's not the worst.... She's onto something!!

    This is turning into a really gross thread...

    And the cheapo version would be called "I can't believe it's not...".

    Drivers who flash their lights to warn that there's a speed check van ahead. If I'm speeding, then it's my tough luck if I am caught.

    I hate long Twitter threads, that get thousands of likes and retweets, about something the tweeter witnessed on a train, in a supermarket, or wherever. The story will have some wild turns, quirky characters, and a twist ending. I guarantee most of these "So this just happened..." Twitter threads are just made up by people looking for attention. Yet I see so many people being fooled by them.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,455 ✭✭✭maudgonner


    It's bloody impossible to hoover between the front seats of the car and the console. (I think that's what it's called anyway - the place where the handbrake & gearstick live). Can never get in there properly.



    If I ever become a drug smuggler that's where I'm hiding my stash - no way the cops would ever get it out. Of course neither could I...I really haven't thought this through...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,628 ✭✭✭Gamer Bhoy 89


    My fiancée made the most beautiful Sunday roast I've ever had today, and I couldn't finish the last few spuds (my favourite bit) because I wouldn't stop wolfing a share-bag of salted nuts prior.

    TA is KP nuts are addictive and I shouldn't be allowed near them


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,105 ✭✭✭Trigger Happy


    I was in the queue in lidl earlier. Just had a couple of items so the person in front told me to jump ahead of them.
    And then the next person did the same.
    I was delighted with myself. But then when it came to paying I could not find my phone anywhere. No wallet, no change, no nothing.
    The shame. The TA.

    People saying “super” when they mean very.

    e.g .I was super tired.

    Not as bad as people saying "I feel like" when they mean "I think".

    As in "I feel like this sushi is really nice"

    The term "Mexit". Is there nothing they wont bastardise/ hybridise in an effort to appear cool and trendy.

    It makes a change from the usual of adding -gate to any news story.

    They are both abominations in my opinion. Lazy predictable "journalism" and I feel bad even calling it that.

    See right there is the reason I am not nice in the queue :)

    In all my years of working the till it is always the person with one or two items that balls up the queue... Be it like you, can't find wallet etc or my personal favourite emptying their coin purse onto the counter and telling me to count it myself... Along with all bits of fluff and other gunk :(

    But I do feel your pain, I'd be mortified too :)

    I try to recycle as much as possible but want to draw the line at washing out plastic containers of mince and chicken fillets. My preference would be to chuck them in the general waste.
    My wife disagrees and thinks we should wash them and put in recycling bin.

    There was a build up of plastic containers stacked beside the sink before Christmas. About 3 weeks worth. Very untidy. I bit the bullet one afternoon when my wife was at work and washed the lot, let them dry and recycled them.

    Fast forward 3 more weeks and an identically-sized backlog is beside the sink. Just spent an hour washing them.

    Why not wash them straight away when opened ? I open meat and immediately fill the tray with hot water and soap . I can only imagine three weeks later they must stink to high heaven ?

    Much too simple and straightforward !

    Pat does not like such scenarios....would much prefer to let the plastic containers build up into a malodorous ugly pile of rubbish which confronts him every morning.

    And moans about it on a public discussion board.

    That's Pat ...nothin straightforward and simple !

    Sounds like you’ve been de-balled. Why isn’t your lazy lass washing them and recycling them if that her choice??
