TA my stove isn't suitable for cooking on. The waste of heat energy really ta's me. It makes diy sauce/soup/preserves less economiicalwhenyou have to use gas/electricity to simmer or dehydrate foods.

I went into the thread about how you're passing the time in the crisis.
I came out feeling like a failure

The assumption that theres an ulterior motive behind curiosity about new laws.
You're either upto something, afraid of being caught without the right paperwork, or a garda-hater. You couldn't just be interested....

Assumptions grind my gears at the best of times

We came across an eejit giving his daughter a driving lesson on a country road yesterday near our house. We had to pull the car into the ditch. The poor girl panicked... we all remember how scary it is. Then we had to sit and wait while they got out and switched seats and he took over. Who goes for a driving lesson on a small country road during a pandemic? They werent local so clearly also giving the two fingers to the restrictions.

My teeth have been giving trouble since last November. My own fault of course for leaving it too long to get some fillings done. Unfortuately it seems my options for now are to struggle through the pain or get the tooth removed. I got a few numbers today for a few emergency dentists so hopefully one of them might be able to help me. Don't know if I'll be able to sleep tonight. Hate the thought of getting the tooth removed even if it's a very back one but I can't have this pain for the next few weeks, months, god knows how long. The thoughts of spending the long weekend inside with a toothache is driving me spare.

People flouting the current regulations. I know a few who should be cocooning but are out and about, down to the shop every morning.

The terms "creepy crawlies" and I'm conflicted about "minibeasts".

Some poor chap who probably has the flu seems to go out to the shop about the same time as I go walking. I met him on the road a second time today. He was sneezing and coughing and his face is always shadowed by the baggy grey hood of his jumper (even in bright sunlight). It's like medieval leper chic. It's just a bit ta in the current situation when you hear the coughing getting louder behind you as he gets closer. A bit of space, please...

Boobs out for Boris.

That is so English. I know people who would actually do it, while laughing like hyenas.


I do love lots of English people and some of their culture but...sometimes.

I'm still working (staggered hours) and was driving home on M1 yesterday , had to go through a massive Garda checkpoint, all good, I wasn't stopped despite huge tailbacks.

Came home and met my 75 year old neighbour in her garden, who had cancer in January, and told her about the Garda checkpoint. She said "that wasn't there yesterday on my way back "!!! She is out and about everyday. I have offered to do her shopping , walk her dogs but every day I see the little car heading out at some stage! :eek:

TA waking up to news articles about traffic tailbacks as people head to Wexford etc. for the weekend. Why are so many people selfish morons.

Could do with some of the Spanish police here!

Don't have to ask? Is it on the Independent? Probably interviewed by Barry Egan.

My brother was in the local Tesco just after 7 this morning, and said it was already packed full of people. A lot of the people there were elderly too, sauntering around, chatting to each other. :rolleyes: :eek:

Can we drop the rule that's it's impolite to take the piss out of someone for spelling mistakes? We've got full keyboards and predictive text on everything these days ffs. With some fellas it takes a while to try and work out wtf they were trying to say - before long they'll qualify as illiterate!

Pinterest recipes

Why is there always SO much waffle
about how and why the yummy mummy came up with the recipe .....and I scroll... and how her kids 'just love' it .......and scroll....and lots of photos of the ingredients..... and scroll.... and how it's perfect for lunches.... and I scroll ..... and can be frozen in portions...... and eventually...... I get a list of ingredients and method.

Very Trivial
Very Annoying

Slow walkers, how am I supposed to keep my distance if these people are walking at a snail pace?

People casually browsing items in supermarkets with no awareness, that there are people who are waiting for them to move on, so that they can get an item

TA'd at Tesco checkout staff having 'big chats' with customers after they've paid, while the tannoy system is telling people to complete their shopping as quickly as possible.

I'd actually like to know the states of the Garda checkpoint. Were the people working, shopping for essentials, etc and did a queue just build up when they set up the checkpoint or was there a large amount of them travelling for non essential reasons. Part of me thinks Des Cahill was out for likes on Twitter.

The word Challenge - everything seems to be glossed over by calling something a challenge, kind of a bureaucrats/management word for we haven't got a clue :P

100% agree! I think the fashion started in the US, where the word "problem" was considered too negative. God forbid people should call spade a spade.

The bag-full-of-dog-sh*t-left-hanging-in-a-tree du jour, disposable gloves. They are everywhere. What kind of yoke takes them off and just f*cks them on the ground wherever they happen to be standing?

Double points for littering and potentially spreading our old mate, covid-19.

Couple of trivial/borderline more annoyances tonight.

First, the company I work for, we all work from home. I was hired to do networking tech support for businesses. Because of covid, the foreign admin workers aren't working and can't work from home, so we're being asked to do the admin. Admin melts my buzz, it's why I went for tech support (it varies, it's not monotonous). So I've reluctantly being doing one type of admin work, which has no cost impact on the customer. Now, they have us doing cost impact admin, but the 'training' is a document which is not clear/steps are not going as per the doc. Now, I'm refusing to do them because a: not trained, b: doc is not clear/concise. But 2 others are ploughing on, making mistakes and fixing them as they go, all without training. Pretty sure it breaches data protection too, but anyway. That annoys me more than trivially, the need to be the good employee and do everything that is asked of them without question. Dangerous colleagues tbh.

Second, in the middle of all this, I've passed my probation and am entitled to further wellbeing benefits. Thing is, they gave me a week window to do them, but I work nights on a shift pattern. So I've only had 2 nights to do them, and I told them as much. They replied to my email today 'extending' the window until 3pm today! Didn't read the email until I started at 8pm (yes, I don't work outside of work, I know it sounds strange, but I don't like working when I'm not being paid).

Third, the messed up roster they gave us, which includes 5 weekends instead of 3 and days when days were not supposed to be aprt of my job (wouldn't have applued for day/night shift pattern role, supposed to be nights only). Should have been fixed by now, but due to covid it's basically being ignored now. Meanwhile I have to be ok with working days and working 6 nights out of 7 at certain weeks. They're all 12 hours shifts btw. 72 hours work, rostered, in 1 week. Pretty sure it's illegal, but again, the roster was made by someone who has probably never worked a 12 hour shift or a night in their life.

It really exasperates me that Catriona Perry doesn't know how to say the word exacerbate.

At least twice on tonight's Six-One News we had Debenham's difficult trading conditions being exasperated by the Covid crisis
