Things dat Trivyully Annoy You (part whatever) *MOD WARNING IN OP* NEW

Candles are fire hazards masquerading as interior decor, and adored largely by women.

The NYT help desk. I have only once failed to solve it , but yet it tells me my streak is 1 . Basterds

I remember I used to get a lift home from work with a lad who if he saw a ball like that would stop and throw it back into the garden. At 17 I never would have thought of that, but i do it now.

I just spent 50 quid on an app for a mobile that doesn't do what it is supposed to do an impulse buy- the mac version was OK that was cheaper though.

So I thought why not try the phone version - designed to cast to a specific brand of telly. I thought 50 euro must mean it is quality! But it doesn't even show my photos or videos on the telly now.

Although in fairness I should have done more due diligence. Because on the FAQ it lists a load of reasons why it likely won't work and fixes. But still I feel I now I have to jump through hoops because I invested money in it to get it working.

But, I know well I will rarely use the phone app anyway. Sure I only got it to see if I could cast TG4 player videos to the telly. No app for that on the actual telly yet. But when running the TG4 app it won't work some data protection/encryption yoke which was in the telly mobile app FAQ. Which I only found out after the fact!

What kind of an eejit was I to spend 50 quid on an app anyway? No doubt there is some small print somewhere where I can't get a refund now.

Yeah , its not actually as bad as I thought at the start. Funnily enough I wouldn’t have , didn’t, enjoy it 20 years ago. But now I think its an inspiring story.

My next door neighbour has a cat and a dog. The dog is a sweet, super friendly and despite being a large breed it’s very docile, quiet and un dramatic … but the cat is a head wrecker of a thing. It seems to enjoy screeching but only tends to do first thing in the morning and late at night, like now… which it’s doing non stop… as I type it’s having a full blown fit…..it’s a melt of a yoke… having some sort of breakdown out there.

This modern media / social media thing of bestowing the title on people and them on themselves, of…. ‘ influencer ‘.

ive never been influenced by, or reliably informed on any topic or product by any person calling themselves an ‘influencer’.

it seems this ‘influencer’ type of persona is just a hyper hyped up attention seeker who cannot find a conventional and respected niche in life beyond setting up lots of social media for a few bob and harping on ad nauseam about various topics or products which they have an interest in but …no credible or provable expertise or tangible qualifications on…..

what next ? Medical influencers ? Forget doctors, that young lad has 1.8 millions followers… and ADHD..’that’s’ who to listen to…!!!

what next ? A travel influencer ? A fella working part time for Dunnes who has been on 5 holidays in 20 years but is an ‘expert’, on trip advisor ! Ohhh and he watches the cruise channel, helps with his SAD…so, everyone’s a winner….

for all the pluses of the internet, the digital age and technology… the enablement of useless, gimpy, absolute useless as absolute fûck, egotistical, arsehole attention seekers…..ie. influencers is a big negative…. And quite tiring….

can we not just go back to enjoying experts, voices of experience with no agenda, nothing to sell, no ego or bullshît ? As opposed to some 22 year old with a massive gob and small temporal lobes ? Please ?

THANKS !

There’s something I keep forgetting to get in the shop , WHEN i get home. I have a free 30 minutes before the Liverpool game and I can’t remember what it was.

It was milk,

I emailed the crowd I got the app from. Explained it to them asked about refund etc.

All I got in reply was this oneliner -

'Thanks for sending in your diagnostics log and reporting this issue to us'

Feck sake, tech support people more than TA annoy me.

OK I'm the dope that paid 50 euro for a mobile app I didn't really need, didn't test, didn't research etc. But Jayus...

OK fair enough I am a complete clown for buying it - (are the mods going to allow me to call myself a clown?)

All I can think of now is instead of that app could have been a Hill ticket in an All Ireland Semi-Final, and a couple of pints.

What in the name of Jayus was I thinking?

50 Euros for an app, and 50 euros for an app I don't need. I didn't even know you could spend that much on an an app before the last day! But the plus point is it is a once off lifetime payment and ad free. Feck sake.

The two-week sinus headache I've had.

Would Aslan been as big as U2 or any other 80s irish musical export if they 'made it' ??

Huge respect and love there music but i do think if they had off then Christy would of died
