    My dog not understanding that we are only doing the one walk these days and not the usual two or three in order to spare him from this horrendous heat. He’s following me from room to room at the usual times we’d go, looking at me like wtf bitch

    I'd say go for Anbesol Liquid would do the trick and doesn't taste as nasty as clove oil. https://lloydspharmacy.com/products/anbesol-liquid-10ml

    I prayed to all of the gods this morning that the skip being picked up at 6am would fall on the fancy BMW of the house who had the skip. Didn't happen. :(

    More than a trivial annoyance really but people recommending IMO dangerous or just basically of unknown safety swimming spots to people under the guise of #wildswimming. We’ve already seen the usual spate of hot weather drownings and some of the places I’ve seen suggested to people in articles and on social media have raised an eyebrow in me. Like, beautiful, glacial valley lakes that are truly stunning but which drop off fast and people will accompany with comments like “Oh, mind the sharp bouldery bottom or those currents!”. Oh, is that all?

    And many of these more dangerous lakes have water sources near the top of the mountains so cold water shock is still a concern in this weather. It’s just so irresponsible! Maybe it’s because I grew up near a few dangerous lakes that I’m very cautious but I just don’t think people get how dangerous bodies of water can be, even if you’re a strong swimmer. I’m not a strong swimmer and I know it so maybe that makes me more sensible too. Just be careful out there, people, and stick to the boring old vetted spots. 😄

    Noticed red flags flying at a beach during the week, but ignored by heaps of people who thought it didn't apply to them.

    Ugh, remember when "wild" swimming was just called swimming? Notions.



  • Registered Users Posts: 379 ✭✭Tilden Katz


    THANK YOU. Isn’t “wild swimming” just… swimming in a non-manmade body of water? The likes of which people have been doing since they walked upright?

    I’m convinced that it’s the “strong swimmers” who get into difficulties more. They see the red flags and think “Be grand”. Whereas I KNOW I’m crap and most certainly won’t be grand! 😃

    Infuriated by the fact that Latitude, a 40,000 capacity festival is happening across the water, but we are doing sweet fcuk all and the glorious weather happening, screaming for a camping music festival. What mills my gears even more is that a 10,000 capacity festival Wild Roots in County Sligo had to cancel and was supposed to happen in three weeks time, a ridiculous state of affairs. I'm not anti-vax and I've complied right from the start and still I'm seeing the things I love being cancelled, I mean FFS, they are out in a bloody field, make them the test events for christ sake with a fully briefed covid aware security.

    TA by paper straws for iced coffee drink....sigh....yes, I know they are better for the planet than plastic ones, but....

    Paper straws are so soft, they can not puncture the crossed shaped cut in the hard plastic lid that you are supposed to insert your straw into. Not talking about the soft lids that McDonalds use. I mean the hard plastic ones that coffee shops (like Insomnia) give out. So you take the lid off, tear the lid opening a bit wider with your fingers, so you can insert the straw into it. And then your fingers get sticky from the wet drink lid. So then your paper straw is sitting in your drink and guess what happens to paper when its immersed in liquid? Yes. It gets wet and soft. Imagine that !

    So the soft, wet straw is sitting up against a torn, jagged piece of hard plastic and it gets cut, or bent and it just stops working, with your drink barely half finished. I know the polar bears and rain forests appreciate my struggles and I am delighted for them...but I just wish it wasn't so damm hard to enjoy a nice iced Americano during the heatwave....sign....

    Imo straws in drinks are for children.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,054 ✭✭✭✭Strumms


    I was giving out on here about a neighbors alarm that from time to time gets activated at varying hours of the AM...I think they must work nights.

    now another alarm started going off, ten minutes ago, MUCH nearer, a much higher pitched, louder, hyper annoying tone.... breaking the blissful summer evening peace, the other was just annoying but this I’m thinking in the dead of quiet in about 90 minutes when I want to sleep will make things impossible...



  • Registered Users Posts: 82 ✭✭Beffs


    Then how is one supposed to consume said drink, when the lids do not have an aperture to put ones mouth to? Osmosis?

    Open the lid?

    If you're walking around, taking the lid off isn't really ideal, too easy to spill.

    I bought reusable silicon straws in Lidl recently and they're great. Wide enough to deal with frozen or thick drinks like smoothies, and they just slide apart so you can clean them in the dishwasher, no faffing about with brushes, etc.

    TA: My new neighbour is building something in his garden and using our shared fence as a foundation. Very ominous creaking noises coming from it, I'm fully convinced he's going to break it.



  • Registered Users Posts: 82 ✭✭Beffs


    And half the drink slops into the cup holder in the car, or on the ground while walking? Eh, no thanks.



  • Moderators, Arts Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 77,192 Mod ✭✭✭✭New Home


    You shouldn't drink and drive, anyway.

    TA at people [on the internet in general] who will turn anything you say into something much worse.

    There's a scandal going on within a famous business overseas (sexual harassment lawsuit) and one of the former managers of that company (from 10 years ago) spoke recently and said he apologises for what went on and that he wish he could've said something at the time (the issue has been going on for decades, apparently).

    I wrote "that's hindsight. No point in saying that now"

    And one or two replies came at me, accusing me of believing he should've stayed silent, effectively calling me a sympathiser, and that they should not be called out when they do something bad. Like they really twisted my words and made it into something entirely worse. Instantly muted the thread and ignored it from then on but what a horrible thing to accuse someone of being when I was on the victims' side!!

    Social media - namely Twitter - is a dangerous place if you're not the slightest bit careful with your terminology, wording, and slang. Nutbags, the lot of 'em.

    Stupid people who ignore Dont Feed Bread to the Birds signs and insist on chucking mouldy chunks of bread at them.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,054 ✭✭✭✭Strumms


    I woke to this fûcking thing going off again, literally as I’m typing it’s stopped after about four hours... I am reading that alarms were supposed to have an automatic shutoff after 15 minutes by law... it was going about 4... fûcking... hours...Sunday morning.... I hope these cünts get run over by a fûcking hearse, ****.

    I remember a time when you could travel from one place to another with having to use the social crutch/accessory of a coffee to accompany you. 😕 😉


    My trivial annoyance at the moment is the music that a neighbour has been playing all day, blasting it from the other side of the estate, across the green. It's not extremely loud but it's more the fact that it's constant and I just can't enjoy natural sounds. They could point the speaker back towards the house if they enjoy the music that much. Personally, I'm not into Bon Jovi and rebel songs and dodgy dance music.

    In the local town they put some cycle lanes at a junction but of course the cyclists cut across the footpath so they don't have to stop at the junction

    SOME pub owners whinging about the extra work due to new guidelines . Whinging because they have to check vaccine certs and ID . Honestly they need to get over themselves and get on with it . Frontline staff , retail staff , teachers , dentists etc all had to adjust and put extra measures in and just get on with it .

    It's also to alert for slower braking and acceleration. New borns have not the muscle strenght to hold these forces. Example: German autobahn exits are short and require hard braking.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,636 ✭✭✭✭whisky_galore


    Whinging from adults about kids not being left into restaurants.

    Honestly, do you think kids love going to restaurants, sitting still and eating what they get? And I don't mean the sort of restaurant where you get a free toy with your meal.

    Peel here

    Peel where? There's nothing to bloody peel!

    I saw one last night complaining that when they go to a restaurant with their special needs child and it starting acting up people give them dirty looks as if they are a bad parent.

    I'm sorry but people go out to a restaurant to have a nice mean in a nice quiet environment. If you bring a child, special needs or not and it starts acting up, people are not giving you dirty looks for being a "bad" parent they are giving you dirty looks for being an inconsiderate asshole.

    My dope of an uncle in his ‘way’ purchased online some electrical gardening equipment from a genuine known DIY retailer... it turns out one of the two items was faulty, no power... he wrote a scorpy email to them and they asked him to return the items to the shop, they’d arrange replacement or refund, he refuses... as is his difficult way he insists that they collect.... they eventually relent and agree... my aunt is hitting the roof as she doesn’t want people calling to the house as not everybody has been vaccinated yet...they both have but their daughter, mid 20’s hasn’t been, she lives there...at least in a big shop there will be perspex and lots of room and ventilation ..

    he himself is known as a bit of a yapper and will probably be even if it’s just a sales rep... telling them how long he’s been shopping there, how disappointed he is with them and an in-depth review of him shopping, ordering, discovering the fault etc..whatever faults the product has...as well as offering tea, I can see it.. mad fûcker.

    "Disabled children should be seen and not heard".



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,054 ✭✭✭✭Strumms


    people are under a lot of stress with everything, I’m sure the people understand and are understanding of why it’s happening but if you are looking forward to a meal, relaxation, peace and nice company and conversation after all that’s gone on but are really victim to the opposite it will be frustrating... more then be pissed off with the child I’m sure just pissed off with their less then great timing...and possibly or maybe with the parent if they were of the view that they could have had a less then fantastic appetite to calm, influence, distract or placate the behaviors...

    And so it begins again. Oh God, Johnny Logan hold me now! *sobs in corner*



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,988 ✭✭✭spookwoman


    I'll counter that with "Disabled adults should just suck it up"

    I did not say "disabled children should be seen and not heard. I said "If you bring a child, special needs or not", besides how is someone to know if a child is special needs or not.

    Adults can also have a disability and be affected by loud noises as well, high piercing screams can cause incredible stress and anxiety but people seem to not think about that. Are they supposed to go around with a placard saying "I have a disability, I can't handle loud noises, it causes distress" so people like you who automatically assume that the person believes disabled children should be seen and not heard when they happen to give someone a dirty look because their kid is screaming their lungs out.

    Reality is most people when they go out to restaurant leave the kids at home to get away from screaming and tantrums. No one wants to hear kids screaming when having a meal.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,093 ✭✭✭PsychoPete


    There really needs to be more child free restaurants



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,161 ✭✭✭✭iamwhoiam


    I have to agree . I love kids but if parents cannot control their kids and teach them not to run around and scream in restaurants then I think we need choices of child free restaurants and dining in peace



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,636 ✭✭✭✭whisky_galore


    I one way I tend to agree but I don't think restaurants in this country can afford to turn away custom, even if they are obnoxious.

    It would be great if some parents could actually 'parent'.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,682 ✭✭✭Mollyb60


    I would pay extra for a meal in a child free restaurant.


    TA today is that I'm a **** idiot and left a bowl balancing on top of another bowl to defrost chicken overnight (don't @ me about food safety). The **** thing fell off and broke into smithereens at 3.11am last night. Scared the bejasus out of us.

    I am not sure what type of places you're eating at but I have never been disturbed by kids at another table in a restaurant. You might see it at lunchtime in a pub maybe but for evening meals in a decent restaurant I yet to see misbehaving kids. You do see a lot looking bored or having their head stuck into a phone.

    Middle-aged "hun" who lives at the back of me sitting in her garden most evenings during the heatwave drinking wine roaring "Alexa! play Nathan Carter" several times in the evening.

    Lad next door who has OCD in relation to his jeep thing. He takes bits of it off and puts them back on every few weeks and spends about two hours blasting it with a power washer afterwards. To me, it looked very clean before he went at it yesterday!

    I don't know what it is or why I feel this way but when I'm reading someone's post and they say per se it annoys me and I'll usually end up skipping the rest of the post.

    It just happened me there when I started reading a thread I thought might be interesting and the first reply had per se in it. The best was, this one time at Bandcamp when someone was trying to be clever in their post and they were like, I'm not into x per say. That one gave me a chuckle 😆



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,455 ✭✭✭Patrick2010


    Maybe knocked off by a visiting rodent looking for food?
