    Bohs vs Rovers cup game chucked behind a paywall.. LOI TV… like most sports/football fans I have practically every sports subscription going with my satellite provider, costing a fortune but Irish football perceives it is appropriate to expect Irish football fans to again dip into their pockets and pay for games on LOI TV…. No thanks…

    Amazon making things complicated, expecting a package tomorrow from them and I get an email from them this morning saying "they'll email me a password which I then have to give to the driver" tomorrow before I can get my package, would they ever f off and stop making a simple thing like delivering a package harder.

    A very patronising email from a company telling me 'that there was a worldwide issue' in relation to a query I raised about something that happened before the 'worldwide issue' existed or was made public.

    I bought one of those adaptors so I can plug my wired headphones in to my phone. Was looking at the apple one and thought I'm not spending that much so I bought a cheaper one. On the way home I find out it's faulty, it keeps disconnecting and pausing the music as it disconnects.

    I keep having to press play but sometimes it disconnects fully and the sound blares out of the phone speaker instead of my headphones. Problem is, I've my headphones in so it just sounds like the music is low volume so I instinctively turn the music up, only after a few seconds realising I'm blaring music at full volume off my phone's speaker. Also my music of choice is banging late 90's Techno, which doesn't help with the looks I'm getting.

    So I've brought the faulty one back and said f it, I'll not make the same mistake twice so I'll shell out for the expensive apple one this time. Now I have no problems with this connection wise but it's not half as loud as the last one. I have to have my volume at like 95% to get any kind of decent volume out of it.

    That's annoying but my new problem is that my phone keeps automatically turning down the volume after a while because "you have been listening at high volume for an extended time, high volume for extended time causes hearing damage" The thing is I haven't, I've been listening at the equivalent of about 50% on the first adapter that I bought.

    Seems like I just can't win with these adaptors.

    Might blame me for that 🙄. We were having problems with deliveries and one of them for a €100+ watch was left in the wrong building with the signature was forged. Thankfully we saw the delivery notification, got onto Amazon about it and they pointed us to where it was before it was lifted off the communal post boxes. I'd rather go through a few hoops to get the delivery.

    The backlight on my laptop screen is dying. The screen keeps randomly going black and I have to turn the thing off and on again to get it back on.

    Not comfortable trying a repair myself, don't want/can't afford a new laptop, not really too happy about bringing it into a shop to get it fixed either. 😐️ Bleh.

    When people are talking about crime they sometimes say Harris and I don't know if it's Drew or Simon.

    If you mostly use your laptop at a desk ... You could plug it into a monitor if you have one or get a cheap or second hand 1080p one.

    Bloke beside me in a coffee shop that has a laugh like a banshee being put through a wood chipper, and it seems everything is utterly hilarious.

    Reminds me of meeting a friend for drinks years ago, delighted with ourselves to get a free table, and nice seats. Until the hyena at the next table started laughing. I have never heard anything like it before nor since.

    We could only conclude that whoever had been where we now were, had abandoned the place. And absolutely everything set her off cackling again and again. I think we held firm, because there was no other space available, but it was the worst laugh I have ever heard.

    Toilet seats . . The hinges are forever coming loose or breaking, and the more expensive or heavy duty the loo seat, the less time they last. Then there's those ones with the chrome fittings that turn a verdigris colour from the pee . . awful rusty yokes to change.

    In my parents house growing up, I recall we had a mahogany loo seat with brass fittings that never gave a problem . . though I wouldn't recommend the turquoise furry lid cover and matching pee mat that also adorned our bathroom.

    Went to Oslo for a few days. It was supposed to be cold and wet so I prepared accordingly. It was far from cold and wet.

    On that note: houses and flats that are so badly built that allow you to hear your neighbour's messages.

    When you get a text message and you hope it's something that will change your life for the better ...

    but it's a message from right price tiles about a sale.
