There's an AIB ad talking about them going carbon neutral by 2030 and the voice over in it is so whiney!

Several house hunting TAs.

1. Having finally gotten my act together after 37 years and being in a position to buy, we can't view anything because of covid.

2. Use of the term "host of amenities"

3. The fact that in 2021, a church is still listed as an amenity.

4. Use of the the term "proud to present to the market"

5. "Price on Application". Next.

6. An unpolished gem - read "shíthole".

My bug bear is 'delighted to bring to the market'.
FFS, put in a bit more effort, rather than copy and paste all the descriptions.

Over to Greg. Thanks Sharon. <blurry cctv> Back to Sharon. Thanks Greg. <reconstruction> That's right, Sharon. ... Here's Tara. Thanks Sharon. <false reg plates> Over to Sharon. Thanks Tara. ... Now here's Louise. Thanks Sharon. <someone who didn't pay for their church candle>. Sharon. Thanks Louise.

I genuinely can't figure out if it's a running joke amongst them or she's just that narcissistic. Having said that, I've noticed the gardaí who don't say Sharon two or more times, will not appear the following month.

There was a documentary on all these kinds of promises (eg. Tesco's change for good campaign which wasn't that meaning of "for good". Basically companies create these things with a just-far-off-enough dates that everyone'll have forgotten about them.

And don't get me started on carbon neutral.

I just ate a packet of hunky dory salt and vinegar and it wasn't all hunky dory. They were too vinegary.

The blessed “ stay at home “ in the corner in RTE .
I mean seriously , a year later do they think someone reads it on March 4th 21 and says “ Oops , we need to stay at home , I almost forgot but RTE reminded me “

Did you see Dublin last week? It seems that the lowest common denominator needs to be reminded.

Luckily I have a kit for plugging punctures at home.

I drive fellow walkers daft when I pick up and throw away the odd screw or nail I spy on the road.

Im watching portion sizes at the minute and it just seemed to much for 1 person.But nowhere on the box does it say its for 1 or 2 or 4 people.

Look at the total calories and act accordingly.

Do they honestly think they would be in any way influenced by a heading in the corner on RTE saying " Fan sa bhaile " !

Nah, not for a second. Maybe subliminal messages might work?

Usually used when talking about their “angles”.

I know a woman in her fifties who posts Happy Birthday messages on Facebook to her children and always says she loves them 'to the top of your head to the bottom of your feet'.

Half the country can't understand that, let alone be influenced by it.

People who don’t have their dogs on leashes/leads, when on walks etc you make my walk so much worse because your dog won’t leave my dog alone. Why get a dog if you I don’t want one

.anon.

People who think it's acceptable to use their horn to 'punish' other drivers' mistakes. Earlier today, I was driving behind a VW Passat that was indicating to turn right (i.e. taking the second exit) on a mini-roundabout. There was a car coming towards us that was clearly not going to yield, possibly because it was a bright day and they didn't see his indicator flashing (I've noticed with certain cars, especially newer Volkswagens, that the bulbs aren't orange enough and you really have to stare hard to see them flashing). Even driving behind him, I could see that they weren't going to yield. I'm quite sure he could also see that they weren't going to yield. All he had to do was slow down ever so slightly before turning. But instead, he turned in early and drove over the mini-roundabout just so he could slam on the brakes and blast the horn at a car that was technically already on the roundabout. I see this kind of thing so often, and it never fails to amaze me that so many people (usually men in large German cars) genuinely believe that accelerating towards other people's errors somehow makes you a good driver.

What is it about getting behind a wheel that makes so many people turn into absolute maggots? And all the focus is on L drivers, yet I believe the majority of accidents could be avoided if we had less aggression and impatience - two things that tend to be unique to drivers who've been on the roads for years rather than those just starting out.

Local parks all have prominent signs about dogs to be kept on leads.

There's always someone who obviously reads it as 'dogs must be kept on leads, EXCEPT YOURS OF COURSE'...

I was the source of someone's trivial annoyance earlier

Was on a "main" road that goes through residential area so 50km/h. There was a home heating oil tanker delivery truck parked on the road. Oncoming traffic so I had to stop, there was a gap and another oncoming car that had "N" plates up. To be honest I probably had enough time to overtake the tanker before the car drew close but there was nothing behind that car so didn't chance it.

Car behind me found it's horn....I forgot to find my accelerator after I overtook the tanker so I had a nice cruise at 48.....oh there's an orange light best slow down.

I'm not usually like that at all, but the devil got to me.

I had also passed a speed van for oncoming traffic so I'd no intention of going over 50....they usually hunt in packs.

Oh it's ok they'll shout after it " don't worry he's very friendly...he just wants to say hello "

Would've driven at 40kph for that myself!

I should elaborate more on my previous TA, the dog/s are let loose and can go wherever they like, I might go for a walk in a nearby woods, I might meet the dog/s. I walk to the local shop, the dog/s will probably be there already, just wander around all day. I’m tempted to ring the dog warden and tell them about these unloved dog/s

Was walking into town this morning just before 9am for a dentist appointment down by the docks. Just after passing Jury’s near the Spanish Arch a guy is walking towards me, looks about mid 20s and quite scruffy and strange looking.
I’m on the edge of the path but rather than move he punched me (lightly, not swinging ir anything) in the arm and said stab.
I was in shock so I turned and just said what the hell. I kept walking my direction and him his but I turned to look and he was turned looking at me really weirdly but still walking.
It’s really giving me the creeps now as I’m trying to sleep.
