Just thought of another TA for the day. The wall-to-wall publicity (on Today FM in particular) given to Electric Picnic.

Painting it up as some sort of life-affirming experience that everyone MUST go to at least once. I know they are the music partners of it or whatever so have to drum up interest but its tiresome.

And by the same token, and without sounding like a square, you can't promote it as the 'party of the summer' and then be saddened if there are one or two drug or alcohol related deaths during it. Or indeed binge drinking or anti-social behaviour.

Festivals are my idea of hell.

Thank you! Me too. I always avoided them throughout my twenties. My friends thought I was a stick-in-the-mud. But I really hate large, amorphous crowds. I can do a match or a concert in the Three. But anything more formless than that - no, just no. I do have one event that informed my view - I was at a Slane in the ‘90s where I was caught in a crush. My feet weren’t touching the ground at one point and I had to be lifted out of the crowd. Even if events are better organised than that, it’s still a lot of people in a small area.

I was out picking raspberries and got stung by an evil wasp. He was hiding under a leaf, underhanded yoke. Come out and fight like a wasp!

Pawwed Rig

I relented and did a music festival in my early thirties, Oxygen at the time. It was scummy. The music is great but the camp site was an open sewer.

SaltSweatSugar

Stayed in the home house last night and had to sleep in the guest room as my
old room and bathroom is getting done up at the moment.

Had to use the shower in the main bathroom this morning and it’s not an electric or power shower and the water pressure was pure sh1te. Took ages to wash my hair.

Or when you're on the phone and someone starts talking to you.

I was working on something with my boss today and completely lost the ability to type with her sitting at my shoulder. I’m sure she’s thinking now she knows why it takes me so long to get stuff done!

Past three days I've been told 'remind me to check the total on my leap card, ahead of the weekend', a handful of times a day.
Monday-Thursday am, they have forgotten to bring items vital to what they were supposed to doing, this was followed by a lot of mumbling about how could they forget and what idiots they were.

Out of the two of us I'm the one with the worst memory.

This pm, I ask if they had the leap card as they went out the door.
The response to this was, STOP TELLING ME WHAT TO DO!

TA ppl who dont remember their own stuff,

I can't tell anyone close to me but yesterday I had the horrible realisation that my dad and Boris Johnson looks quite similar. I can't unsee it and it's horrifying.

The fact that RTE have replaced Brendan O’Connor’s Cutting Edge with some show with Keith Barry and a studio audience.

I used to get TA’d with O’Connor’s constant attempts to “balance out” every argument and opinion.

I get that it’s RTÉ directed as they’re trying to “cover their ass” due to litigious loonies but still.

That was annoying too I must say, but overall I thought it was a good show

When an old friend of mine started post pictures of her and her new boyfriend (now husband) on facebook everyone was all like "ah you guys are so cute" etc etc, except one person who mentioned that they looked very similar.....years later and it still cant be unseen!! They are like boy and girl twins!

They did that faceswap thing and again everyone was like "oh you guys are so cute, funny etc. etc. That's hilarious". I didnt even notice they did the faceswap thing that how ridiculous it is!
TA that is drives me mad that everyone ignores this massive weirdness.

Bf is going to uni in England in September and he’s just been awarded a bursary from the college themselves. That’s great, I’m happy for him. But then he turns around says “that’s like you working 144 hours but I’m getting that for doing nothing” :rolleyes: yes, please remind me how some people don’t just have things fall into their laps and how we actually have to work for it

People blaming you for their stupidness.I got a message off someone yesterday blaming me on not telling them school hadnt started yet.

Its your child and your business to find out when they are back in school.

I wasnt sure myself a few weeks ago, so i asked.

She actually went to the school with the child and seen there where no cars there.

The Princess Bride

People in relationships who moan almost always about their partner, yet stay with them, despite acknowledging-repeatedly- that they're a twat.
Especially when there's no children or property involved, so no excuses.

If it's not working, then get out, leave.
They'll never change, so you need to step away.
It really is that simple.

Hormones ruining your life by making it so much harder losing weight. Of course you put on weight easier because your ovaries encrusted in tiny cysts are being cnutbiscuits. Of course they won't let you shed it easily when you change everything around and work so hard.

Even talked about that at my gyn doctor appointment and it's infuriating.
I have a low quality female reproductive system to give away for free, any takers?

Good jib!

@LirW

Great! I was looking for a cheap one for spare parts!

I'm going camping this weekend because I didn't get round to it much in the summer. Collected the campervan last night and it's fine inside but the outside had moss growing in all of the grooves.

So I said I'd clean it and I'm not afraid of spiders but the amount of them crawling out of everywhere was like something from Arachnophobia.

Its lashing out too and a giant raindrop landed on my cheek and I instinctively blew it off and it went straight into my eye and I'm wearing mascara.

I went to log into my 365 banking today and had a total brain fart. I couldn't for the life of me remember my login number. I knew the first digit and had a vague notion of the rest so I gave it one attempt, which was wrong. I had to text the bank and get them to send it to me I honestly don't know what happened. I log in all the time and it's not like I'm hungover but my mind went completely blank. Wtf brain?

Watching Sunday supplement(Sky sports football show) it’s actually so lame. It’s like, it’s just football, it’s fun to talk about but these guys talk about it like it’s the most important thing in the history of ever. They’re smart people so I’m sure they know it’s just football but still, the overly earnest nature of the chat made me turn off after 10 mins

During lunch today I witnessed a teenage boy that I can only stereotype as a little scrote standing about two feet away from a bin, but winding up and pegging a half-empty coke bottle into the river. No wonder the pollution is the way it is.

No rearing on him.

I came out of the shop, sat into the passenger side of the car and then remembered it was just me in the car.

I watch a lot of podcasts on youtube,
gaming and tech related , i find it weird the no of male podcasters who
have videos, 60 minutes plus, who wear short,s ,and sometimes
do not wear socks or shoe,s .it,s not attractive at all .
it would be great if youtube had a dark mode,
for podcast,s , press a button eg theres just a black screen, where the video is.
So you can just listen to a show without having to view it at all .
i put on the show ,and just open a tab, for boards.ie or some other website.
