I had a manager once who single handedly landed one of his subs in therapy who then decided he was doing a cycle to Galway in aid of AWARE. Absolute tool of a man child.

As regards employment, in 2021 anybody either genuinely or disingenuously claiming mental health issues is practically untouchable.... we had one guy claiming he had agoraphobia and then spotted in the audience of the Late Late show ffs... he was shopped to management but... ‘ nope, not touching that, he’ll be back when he’s ready... ‘ :cool:

Boards pages bouncing around like a ping pong ball in a bouncy castle. You click, the link goes blue, but no, somewhere in that sequence a gigantic luminous purple ad for Eir has shoved itself in somewhere and now I've clicked the profile page of some random user who might think I'm stalking them.

Matt Lucas is a bit crap on GBBO.
If he did it in the character of Marjorie Dawes that would be entertaining.
At least get him a co-host, he can't carry it by himself.

Racisim is a form of prejudice and discrimination based on a persons race or ethnicity ...

Heard someone Korean being interviewed on radio about racist experiences here.

Being mocked by Dublin youths, well they're dickheads to just about everyone anyway.

Being constantly asked where you are from, annoying maybe, not necessarily racist.
Being asked where the best Korean restaurant is, again maybe well-meaning but clueless conversation making.
Being asked are you from the north or the south, well, duh, what do you think? Again sounds more clueless than malicious.

If I had a euro for every mention of alcohol, st paddy's day, accent, The Brits, potatoes, are you from north or south etc I'd have a lot of euros...none of which, unless the same person kept cracking the same unfunny joke multiple times, I take much notice of.
Besides I like potatoes and drink anyway.

I've been in Asia and probing personal questions from people you've just met is pretty normal there and have never taken offence at those.

Large adverts every few lines down on a news article seem to be the thing now and bloody annoying as hell

Tailgaters. Sometimes I see two vehicles so close together I assume that the car behind is being towed.
If the first car has to brake suddenly for any reason the twerp behind would not even get a chanceto touch the brakes before they crash into the back of them.
Forgot to mention those absolute arseholes who tailgate you at night with the full beams on and blind you in the mirror. Grrrr!

It's even more gross to be sharing a sugar bag with others during the time we're in

Oh you don't wanna see the tub of butter in that place. It's nightmare/anger fuel. I opted to eat a dry scone as a result of what I saw.

Used to happen in my office for ages until the cleaning lady decided to buy sugar lumps instead.

I was just going to mention the M50 and tailgating. Then I did a search for 'tailgating, law Ireland'. And what appeared? Only an article about a judge giving out about the common occurrence of tailgating on the m50 feb 2019.

https://www.irishtimes.com/news/crime-and-law/courts/high-court/judge-critical-of-all-too-common-tailgating-on-irish-roads-1.3787069

Some feckers can really put your heart in your mouth. It is madness. I think some must do it for the craic or a buzz or something.
(I said this, not the judge )

TA that I can’t find my favourite hoodie and I have no idea where it could be. Makes it even worse that I haven’t gone anywhere so there’s nowhere I could’ve left it, it has to be in the house somewhere

Straining to hear a podcast over a speaker at full volume, then an ad comes on and blasts my ears off.

I heard the worst, most soul-chilling scream from my hallway one night. It didn't sound human. I ran out to see what was happening - half assuming I'd find one of the kids lying in a pool of blood with one of the others standing over them with a kitchen knife.

I find my wife standing there on the tiled floor, white as a sheet, frozen, trembling, with her hands held up beside her face rigid. She was just wearing a dressing gown and barefoot. I look down at her feet. They're covered in sticky green ooze.

Turns out a slug had got in. A very large slug. She had stood on it, barefoot, and it had exploded all over her legs. She just could not move. I had to go an get wipes and a towel and clean her foot and leg and the floor and throw it them away before I could gently lead her by the arm to the sofa in the living room. Utter trauma.

Amputation's the only way to get over that trauma. And shure you've got a kid in mind to do it already!!

Allow notifications in your info bar at the top of phone, you just need to pull down to expose more of the message without exiting the app.

TA with the weather when i cant get out in it.

The same with programmes on the telly (especially at night). You have the volume up high enough to hear it it, but the ads come on at twice the volume!



(Cue people smugly commenting "I haven't seen an ad in 20 years because I don't watch traditional television.". :rolleyes: Another trivial annoyance... )

Bleeeee!!!! :eek:
My TA today: I laid a wood floor in my bedroom at the weekend (fcek all to do at the weekend except jobs in the house.) Now when the cat comes in and prowls around during the night, I hear her claws clicking on the floor and the sound wakes me/ keeps me awake. Need to get a rug now or persuade the cat to let me clip her claws! :D Have wood floors downstairs but never noticed the sound until now!

"We're all still at risk from Covid 19, so keep washing those hands and coughing into those elbows..."
That same ad blasts my head of every morning when im listening to my favourite podcast at a gentle level. I run over and hit mute on the speaker and almost start crying it drives me so crazy! The volume...his voice...the way he says those hands...Covid 19...aahhhhhh!!!

I play a stupid little Harry Potter match 3 game on my phone. It's something to do while I'm making dinner or otherwise bored. It started randomly crashing yesterday and wouldn't open at all. I googled it and there didn't seem to be other problems with it in general so I assumed it had just got corrupted somehow. So I uninstalled it and reinstalled it and it worked fine. I knew I'd lose all my progress but sure, what harm.

Realised late last night that there had actually been some bigger issue with Android phones yesterday which was causing random apps to crash. A small update fixed the problem. So I lost my progress on the game for nothing.

Your progress might be on their systems server and if you send them an email they can let you know or sort it for you
