This is easily fixed - clip a peg or a bulldog clip to the cable next to the slot, then even if it tries to wind itself up again it'll be stipped by the peg/clip.
Cheaper than a new vacuum cleaner, too.

A lad in work actually suggested I tie a loose knot as well

That's the biggest and hardest step.

There's an ask me anything thread about alcohol rehab, it's worth a read.

Best of luck

I'm actually sick of hearing about the Coronavirus. At this stage, I almost wish it would just go away.

I am with you BTC. They should just rename the news 'the coronavirus show' or 'virus hour' and have done with it.


TA with american historical documentaries, factual shows etc; they are set up for an ad break about every 7 minutes or so, even if there isn't an ad break shown over here they still have pointless recaps every-single-time. I'm not a bloody goldfish, I know what's going on. I get so annoyed I usually abandon the show.

Reading some click bait story about a couple of bible bashers in the States who are crediting their dog with saving them from a tornado because his barking allowed them to wake, see the tornado warning and get to safety. Grand, except TA they didn't take the feckin dog to safety with them and he perished. No point f*cking canonising the poor b*stard now if you couldn't be bothered even letting him into your bunker. Morons. On reflection, I am possibly more than TA'd by this

Stumbling upon a thread that looks interesting and clicking to the end rather than reading 50 odd pages of posts, and seeing that the last 10 or so pages are basically just two posters tearing each other apart and throwing around accusations of being disingenuous etc. The verbal and mental gymnastics are such that you no longer even know what the thread is about. Two idiots fighting tooth and nail for the last word when the original thread premise has lost all meaning and everyone else has gone home

I ruined someone's day today. A young girl (N driver) driving to college to sit an exam. I ran into the back of her at a set of traffic lights. Small dent to her car none to mine. No injuries. I accept liability. The worst was how upset she was, wailing screaming and crying...
I'm not a very emotional person so I never know how to handle these things. It was quite a task to get the insurance details exhanged. I'm really sorry I ruined her day and I hope it doesn't affect her exam performance.

I think we need a referendum - I propose banning those hand-held mirrors they use in barber shops when they show you the back of your head. This sort of constitutional reform is long overdue...

When you are dropping something into someone, as arranged, and they ask you to stay for tea, despite you already saying you won't be hanging around.

You refuse, they say oh it's already prepared, kettle boiled etc.

So you say, OK so a quick cup.

20 mins later they are still flaffing about and no sign of the tea.

I called into my sister on the way back from the shop and put my meat and chicken fillets in her fridge. (Not a euphemism)
I’m home now and realised I forgot to take them out and bring them home. I’m just going to have to get a takeaway now because I am not driving across town for them. Tres trivially annoyed

vriesmays

People who think every old black and white movie is available on DVD when about 1% are.

Weather is all over the shop today. I said to myself at lunch 'ooh it's lovely and warm out today.' ten seconds later the sun went behind a cloud and I was shaking like Eskimo Nell.

Midster

People who buy really fast cars, only to hold up traffic and drive much slower than everyone else normally does, on every single road they drive on.

For gods sakes that drives me crazy!!

Lurching

What annoys me?
The fact that the screen jumps down a few split seconds after opening a new page on boards.ie to make space for the banner ad at the top.
It inevitably happens just as I'm clicking on something and I have to move down. Every. Time.

The Princess Bride

I'm annoying myself.
I've an itch on my cheek, a stray hair in my forehead, I need to scratch my nose, my ear is tickling me aghaghagh.
I feel like I'm touching my face a million times more than I've ever done before.
It's like an addiction now, and I can't stop.

So I'm not the only one that has noticed this about themselves!

I have had an itchy nose for the past few days. It actually is the same itchy sensation as if the pollen count was very high. I want whoever is talking about me to stop.

I haven't the energy to energy to elaborate other than to say that this particularly sh1t day started with the boiler on the blink and finished with repairing (another) broken bed (nothing to do with me, this time) For the first time in a long time I fancy a drink but there's nothing in the house except whiskey which I hate so that's just made things ****tier. I'm off to wind down with a cuppa (whoop de feckin doo) so I can relax and get to sleep.

Widdershins

Im constantly getting strands of hair draped across my eyeballs, or stabby little loose eyelashes, ticklish ears, itchy nose. Itchy eyebrow.

TA at people throwing their hands up because theres a lot of new practises to suddenly get used to in order to prevent the spread of the virus. "Too much to take in, bound to forget something and then we'll catch it so we neednt bother trying at all".

I know it's a nuisance but surely all reasonably intelligent people can assimilate the guidelines and adjust their routine a bit.

Every time I click on the AH home page lately it brings me to the very first AH page from 20 plus years ago.

Misleading advertisements.

I saw two ads for the same product in the same ad break that tried to mislead me about the product. One was for the 'night mode' of the camera, and ended with a disclaimer 'additional hardware and software used'. So, an additional flash, and professional editing? In other words; our photos would not look like that.

The other was for games that was clearly all cut-scenes/marketing and featured no game play at all. Literally the only information that I got from that was they want to sell more games, and are probably trying to make it easier for users to access games on their price gouging platform.

If anything I want the product even less now. If they're being so blatant with those lies, what lies am I missing?

That new Maroon 5 song - they just squeeze far too many lyrics into a short space, and the tune is so... I don't know. It's like a repetitive nursery rhyme or something! :mad:

Girl sitting behind me in class last night literally coughing up a lung. I felt tempted to get up and walk out. Why should the rest of the class get infected just because she can't miss one? TA people have no cop on or decency anymore. Stay at home and keep it to yourself.

When an episode of something says "product placement contained" at the start but I don't see any. I know it is meant to be subliminal and that's the point etc. but it doesn't stop me looking. Up there with English subtitles when the audio is English. I keep reading the subtitles anyway even though I can hear what is being said.

That's true. They should call it "single use music" - listen to it once and then delete it. They don't make it like they used to (TA getting old and grumpy)

In the car listening to the radio and I hear the start of a brilliant song, police every breath you take, then it's the fcucking rap version shyte

Jim Root

when your listening to the radio/podcast in the car and the content broadcasts a siren making you look around as if there's an ambulance or the police behind you in real life.

Or when a good song comes on and they have to time their announcement of it so that the entire introduction is blighted by radio station sh*te.

That was the bane of anyone in the 80's trying to record songs onto tapes.

I got my hair chopped up short today. I was dying to get it done for ages and now I’m not sure if I like it. It’s not even that short, just above collarbone length but I just feel so exposed I can’t deal. Ta at being a vain bitch.

Howayabud on LUAS today.
Talking on their mobile, threatening the other person.

Why are they always THE loudest person on the bus, on the train, on the street?

I'm after overdoing myself the last week in regards to unpacking things in my new house (as well as assembling an IKEA bookshelf and a heavy bastard'n sofa), to pulling and lifting heavy cleaning equipment in work, to the point where I've been told by the doctor to take 3 days off work because I now have Acute Wry Neck, essentially I've given myself a shoulder/neck spasm.. Trivially annoyed that I can't find one single solitary comfy spot to sit with, and I'm dreading going to bed because I know I'll be worse again in the morning.

Also TA that the injection above my arse hasn't even kicked in yet, so until it does, I've to walk around like Quasi-f*cking-modo because it hurts to move my neck

Another TA about this is I couldn't even lift my 11 month old nephew when he put out his arms for me to pick him up

:eek::eek:Wartime mentality is kicking in now thanks to the coronavirus. Threads about perennial food crops and items to stockpile, on FB . Why are the most revolting foods the ones that never go off, grow back every year and are unkillable?
Jerusalem artichokes?

Also TA The tip of my tongue feels bitten or scalded.

Hope you're feeling better, but if you aren't, maybe a hot bath will help?
