Veggies, when you wash them? I agree, I much prefer the full double sink, at least both sides are of some use.

Intending to enjoy a pastry or doughnut with a cuppa. Only to scoff the entire thing before I've touched the cup. Every. Single. Time. 🐷

Veg peeling into the strainer insert, then just lift out and tip into your compost bin.

It's a rinsing sink. Soapy water in the big part, clean water in that one. Dunk your dishes in it as you're done washing them, plonk them into the draining rack and leave to air dry.

But why is the drainer almost always on the other side?

deezell

That sink in the picture had no monoblock tap hole. You drill it (hole bit supplied) between the two sinks, (or into the countertop if it's an island), so you can have left hand or right hand drainer, as that sink was symmetrical, but drainer is usually always next to the bigger sink. No doubt someone will post a picture of the opposite. But this has f-all to do with things that annoy you, unless you want to include DIY disasters. Now there's a bottomless angst topic.

That Are we human or are we dancer song by The Killers. Played to death 200 times a day on every Irish mainstream radio station since it's release. It's impossible to get away from it.

As a matter of fact, I think the playing of radio should be banned in public places and public transport. It's inflicting noise on people against their will, and it seems to be endemic in this country for some reason.

I've given up on broadcast radio altogether (the paid-for-promotion music, gawdawful sh!t DJs bang on about and their guffaw guffaw stupid conversations) and been streaming (Tunein, OnlineRadioBox, Radio.net) Takes a while to find a decent station but now I feel lost without it.

Here's a TA, was looking forward to a pint now my work week is done but Mrs G made such a nice dinner I don't think I've room for one.

That’s why , if wanted a pint , id always go for one before dinner. My father’s the same . Wouldn’t think of a drink after dinner

Could hardly turn down a dinner I was woken up for!

Back to TA my pain levels are stupid today. Think raw burnt skin being massaged by a pot scrub level. Perhaps beyond TA but I don't like to admit it

My infected mosquito bites have obviously done a number on my immune system because I woke up this morning with a mouthful of coldsores and a sore throat. Have the final round of a job interview tomorrow, which is a presentation and I'm going to be a) miserable and b) a horror show at it 😭

Yikes 😡😡 sounds painful

My TA today is the Taoiseach and President attending a funeral, probably never met her. Does that mean they’ll be coming to mine in due course? I don’t pay you for photo ops - get back to the office and do something useful

A couple of hot whiskies and bed . It tends to work for me 🥵

Bought a couple of chocolate bars on my way to the parents to enjoy with their late cuppa….Next time I’m going to have to bring a fûcking magnifying glass to see them, (the chocolate not the parents..) bars are now minuscule.

one a bar of galaxy the other a fry’s chocolate cream….it’s apparently as discussed elsewhere on boards…rife in all chocolate manufacturing. Tiny…. Shrinkflation ! 🙄

in addition, whatever individual was stocking said shelf put way too many bars on it and about 5 hit the deck as I tried to carefully remove one, I pick up a couple but I can’t be arsed reaching under the shelf on the floor…. Stocking a shelf isn’t rocket science. Neither is supervising your staff…

You’re right , im sick of Today fm and Newstalk and their Cash machines . The same crap on both stations. I’m nearly thinking of tuning in to Northern Sound 🥵

Double price increases to make them look less like a ripoff, by leaving a gap of a month or so between. Example. The breakfast Toasties and beverage deal in McDonalds jumped from €3 to €3.50, 16.5% increase. A few weeks later it jumped to €4. Thats a 33% increase in total, way above inflation. Mini McFlurry seems to have jumped three times in a year or so, 1.80 to 1.95 to 2.10 to 2.40. It's like they hike it up, wait to see if sales drop, if not, repeat.

Oatfield Orange chocolates. There no f*cking chocolate in them and they are tiny now.

The stupid Leap card reader on the bus this morning kept saying "Product Expired" despite the fact my ticket doesn't expire until 31st August. To make things even more stressful and embarrassing my poxy phone NFC wouldn't read my Leap card through the app. Thankfully the driver left me away with it, and eventually I managed to retrieve my Leap card balance.

Radio stations in general & their repeated sh¡té day after day. 98fm particularly bad and they talk over/end every single song about 20 seconds early

You don't remember the 70s, when the entire popular music daily broadcast in Ireland was Larry Gogan's very short, 20 minute?, sponsored program, where only the first verse of a pop song was played before Larry talked over it and went to the sponsors ads. It was soul destroying if you were young, you had to wait till evening when Radio Luxembourg went on the air, and could be received once the ether 'shifted' after sunset to enhance Medium Wave propagation from there. Or you could listen to maudlin 100 year old chamber music and diddley eye on Radio Eireann.

I used to think that about many products, but I have to admit it's partly the goods getting smaller, and mostly me getting larger. 🍰🍬
