Very much off topic as it's such a lovely story, but this is why NORAD tracks Santa - https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/track-meet/

I didn't go there. He smells a rat somewhere but he blew himself out. I'm leaving it there till next year!

The baby was in a really deep sleep and I couldn't hear her breathing so I panicked and woke her up.

Now the baby is awake.

We've all done that

I think my hair dryer is giving up. Have to get a new one now in the busy time. I need to blow dry my hair or it's a disaster.

Surreptitious, hairdryers in Aldi at the moment. Don't know how good they are.

All that fandango

Have a pair of waterproof Nikes that I've worn around town lately. Great job for keeping the feet dry, but the way the heel is formed, dirty rain water gets flicked up onto the back of my legs with every step...

Thank you! I might take a gander tomorrow.

So after a month advertising a recliner for free I ended up bringing it to the dump last night. At least 20 people said they wanted it but zero turned up to actually collect it*.
TA that the popular narrative is that everyone is so hard up yet perfectly good second hand goods head to landfill.


*It could be disassembled so a van wasn't needed.

That is a lovely story. Col Shoup deserves a spot in the TH thread.

Christmas shopping is a combat sport.

TA'd by Q4 in Sales. "Just checking" and "just following up" calls to customers who promised to sign contracts weeks ago. The stress is real.

"HEY DENIS, HAVE YOU MANAGED TO SIGN THE CONTRACT YOU AGREED TO SIGN TWO WEEKS AGO YET, OR WILL YOU HAVE TIME TO DO IT THIS SIDE OF CHRISTMAS? HOW CAN I HELP YOU TO SIGN THIS MUTHERFCUKING CONTRACT BEFORE I HAVE A STROKE?"

People who still refer to PRSI contributions as "stamps".

It's often not worth the hassle, but I've heard a few people say you should charge for stuff like that. If something's free, people don't value it, but if you charge a fiver for it, suddenly it's a bargain!

Fadó fadó I recall being sent to the Post Office to buy the physical stamps that would then be gummed into each employee's book. I guess the term stuck.

You're gonna need a larger, bolder font.

Started making my edible Christmas presents today with chilli jam. I know from experience my entire house will reek of vinegar for days.

I also managed to make about 6 times the quantity of Ras el Hanout I intended to. Doubled my recipe anyway and then realised I'd used tablespoons instead of teaspoons of everything.

Free jar of Moroccan spice mix, anyone?

Any photos of Agnes's kitchen in Mrs Browns Boys the bread bin is always open and a full Brennans pan sitting in it. Barrys tea and other brands dotted around the kitchen in place they can easily be seen.
Product placement? A bung from Aul' Mr Brennan to Mrs Brown?

Clingfilm, you either can't find where the roll starts and when you finally tear off the amount you need it decides to scrunch up on itself

When people say "...does that make sense?" at the end of their sentence. It's usually after saying something really basic like I tend to prefer sliced cheese over grated cheese on my sandwiches...does that make sense?
No..no it doesn't, I may need an encyclopedia to help my teeny tiny brain figure out exactly what you mean Aristotle, oh mighty one!

Or "do you know what I mean?". Also overuse of phrases like "in that context" or "in terms of" or "in respect of" when the context is feckin clear as day. These "big me up" phrases are just fillers/ window dressing for people who otherwise have very little to say, you know, in terms of having something to say, in the context of saying something. Does that make sense? Do you know what I mean in respect of all that?

I parked too close to the car next to me, then got TAd because it was too close to me for getting out.
