I lost my yellow record adaptor after safeguarding it for years. That's more than trivial it's catastrophic.

I’d love to see what that does to the bill… good immersion though not burning out or whatever the terminology is, after 7 years…

TA at cars who feel I'm in the wrong by being on the road on a bicycle. This is mostly shown by them speeding past me honking their horn for a significantly long time.

I don't know what the feck their problem is. I'm using the road legally, I'm not in the middle of the road and I'm wearing reflective clothing and have my lights on. It couldn't be more obvious that I'm there. I'm not in their way and I'm not hidden. So clearly they just don't want me on the road or they think I'm breaking the law....? Might be annoying them because the pavement has a cycle lane that I could use if I wanted to but that segues into my other TA; not being able to use the cycle lane on a pavement because it gets taken up by groups of two, or more, people who refuse to budge. It's actually safer for me to use the road. It's even more annoying when I'm approaching two or three people from behind and I'm using my bell for ages before I get close, to make them aware "there is a cyclist a good few yards behind you, get ready to move", yet the moment they turn their back, I'm already trying to weave around them and they jump out of their skin when they see me. AND THEN I'M THE BAD GUY - THE NUISANCE!? I'm just trying to get home from work, **** move!

Another TA just happened about 10 minutes ago. I went into my local shop/deli to get a coffee like I have been doing every morning for the last few months. As I approached the coffee machine, I got my cup, I placed it under the thing, pushed the buttons and what not..... And as I leaned over to grab the sugar, spoon etc., Some fuckin meat-headed workie decided to slam his roll, bag and jacket on the unit where all the sugars and stirrers are, blocking me from grabbing anything. He didn't even look at me. He turned his back and went outside to use the phone. Prick.

I had to gingerly move his stuff out the way so I could get the thing. I just wanted **** sugar, pal. Why did you do that??

Anyway. Happy Friday everyone

GOOD NEWS! The coffee beans in Lidl are back in 1kg bags for 7.99. Oh wait, wrong thread... carry on ;)

Technically, if your hot water cylinder is one of the more efficient ones ie a stainless steel cylinder your immersion should be on all the time and turned off only by a thermostat. It's more energy efficient.

That said, being Irish, it's simply something I don't think I can ever accept. My wife goes absolutely nuclear if I use the switch to turn it on.. because usually I forget to turn it off, I have to instead push in one, maybe 2 pins if I'm feeing wreckless on the timer

Off he went to buy some curtains, he found some in a charity shop but they were too short when he tried to put them on the window, the measurements on the wrapping were wrong.

Decided to donate them(as they are perfect except for the size) to a homeless/supportive housing charity, he rewrapped the curtains and put the same(wrong) measurements on the wrapping!!!

Back in the day I used to put tips on shoes for exactly that reason. The 80’s have ALOT to apologise for 🤨

Shops have signs mask required people go in without a mask, people don't know how to wear a mask, eg it must cover the nose And the mouth

if there's a rule it must be enforced or else drop it

. Going to shop buying 10 items but forgot to buy coffee or tea. Look on website January sales , 100 off item x, TV, laptop model x then realize its not avaidable in the shops. its sold out. People who use complex words but can't pronounce them right on podcasts. People on podcasts who just say this show film game is cool, everything is cool. The English language has 1000s of words try and use them . People over 50 who insist on using the latest slang word s. It just sounds weird like your elderly aunt talking about the latest Kanye Drake rap album

One advantage of getting older is you don't have to even try keep up with the latest trends in music fashion, just relax.

The feeling of a long hair in your sock.

Cat owners who don't put bells on their cat's collar.

The crick I have in my neck.

My foreign language student not getting the whole working from home thing and constantly interrupting calls/sitting on the couch watching videos on her phone while I'm trying to work/generally being completely oblivious to the fact that I'm not just sitting at home for the fun of it.

PsychoPete · 29-01-2022 1:59pm

I tried putting collars and bells on my two cats, all I achieved was numerous cuts on my hands

'Were' and 'where' are NOT the same word

vriesmays · 30-01-2022 1:49pm

Neither are swath and swathe.

TA at Boards now defaulting to double line spacing whenever I hit Enter.

It's horrible when trying to write a list format.

Washing machine died the other day, replacement arrived yesterday.

Previous machine was 7kg and a normal wash took 1.5hrs....thought that was a pain in hole but got on with it.

Looking up specs for new machine....up to 65% quicker washes....great thinks I....order it

Looking through the manual after it arrives normal 9kg wash takes 3.5 hrs ...who has that type of time to do a wash especially in Ireland when you are likely to have 4 seasons of weather in those 3.5hrs.

So go looking for this 65% quicker wash....small print (of course) you have to reduce the load ....great 2kg of washing in an hour ....but only light clothes ....so fantastic an underwear wash for an hour

Can edit post but can't delete it or delete the quote.

Quite annoying!

TA its hard to find heavy duty bin bags. You used to be able to get thick black plastic sacks, great for storage.

So, in 2020 I bought a ticket to see a Dutch band perform live in London. Obviously, that didn't happen. Looks like it might happen in April but the ticket's 3 years old so it's quite faded. Whatever creature who saw my email thinks I want to reschedule despite my never having mentioned it. I now see why people hate Ticketmaster.

I was driving in behind a lad on a bike the other day.. kinda busy so overtaking wasn't really ever an option so I tootled along behind him keeping my distance..

Well the amount of times he looked back at me, shaking his head, gesticulating for me to overtake him and then roaring something at me when I didn't.. all the while there was a steady stream of oncoming traffic.

Bizarre carry on.

I cycle a lot so I know what it's like to have someone squeeze past me because they are overtaking while trying to avoid oncoming traffic. I thought I was doing the right thing. Not in this lad's eyes anyway.
