    An old friend of mine announced on social media that he’s being treated for cancer… booked in for a course of chemo, the whole bit.

    a very heartfelt honest post about his prognosis, fears, future etc…. Looks like a decent prognosis by what he writes but….not a nice thing to be dealing with.

    i haven’t seen him in a few years what with covid and him living in Yorkshire but he’s a generous soul, life and soul of any night out, and a kind lad.

    the TA is probably related to my inability to know what to say, sound too blasé and it sounds like you don’t care, say something too profound and it’s like a bit dramatic..

    My phone's increasing tendency to autocorrect perfectly correct words to something else. Eh, no, I did mean to type "were" and not "we're", thanks.

    No - we never went down that route. She will be 10 this year and we have had her since she was a year old. Probably should have done something before now. She always goes over a wall into fields when she's let out. Did consider a cat flap but she is a very good hunter and has previously brought dead things to the doorstep - so don't want them being brought into the house.

    Was looking forward to a giant bowl of rice krispies tonight but they were stale and I didn't notice til I was plonked in front of the telly, milk poured on and ready to enjoy. Double TA that I discovered rice krispies can go stale, never had them long enough for that to happen.

    TA'd that my Bluetooth headphones used to seamlessly connect to my iPhone without any hassle. Now for some reason I have to toggle bluetooth off and on again, and then tap on the entry for my headphones to get them to reconnect successfully - infuriating! Even removing the headphones completely from my phone and re-pairing does not fix the problem - I get the feeling one of the most recent iOS 16.x updates has screwed something up...

    Nope it is our constitution as Eire. Dev was clever enough never to mention Republic because of hopes of pending reintegration with the national territory.

    Article 4 of the 1937 constitution -

    ARTICLE 4

    The name of the State is Éire, or, in the English language, Ireland.

    The name Republic of Ireland on came much later in the late 40's with the Republic of Ireland act - which was legislative based and nothing to with the constitution of Ireland

    Exactly.

    Republic of Ireland exists solely as a football team. Other than that republic is just a way to describe how the country is run. I have to say it annoys me when people use ROI. The South annoys me more though. I usually answer by saying no I am from the east not the south

    The phrase 'This state' 'This jurisdiction' etc used by a certain political party in the Dáil really TA's me. They make such an effort NOT to say 'Ireland'. Second nature at this stage to them. But to my ears it is jarring.

    Had a quite complex handmade bespoke shelving unit / storage system delivered and installed today by a company . It’s a thing of beauty if a little huge. Everything went well but my TV, PS5 and SKY box needed to be unplugged, removed and reinstalled and remounted inside it… I just flicked on a lamp now that was accidentally directed at the switched off TV and noticed lots of fingerprint marks and streaks on my TV screen. Which were NOT there before the work. The workmen were efficient, courteous and friendly, but for the nature of the work were extremely loud and what sounded like clumsy that prompted me on one occasion to stick my head around the door just to see what the fûck was going on…

    I have a really good screen cleaner I use on my laptop and iPad, I’m searching the place but cannot locate it anywhere… I remember now I loaned it to someone else hasn’t returned it…

    So

    1) clumsy, careless and downright dirty workers

    2) people who you loan stuff to, but can’t be bothered to return it.

    I'm having a TAing issue with my Jabra earpods too. Have been excellent and reliable up to the last week. When connected to the bluetooth it'd indicate you how much battery is left, while a red, amber and green LED lighting system tells you the remaining charge. However, lately I could be charging it all night, and it would randomly be 70% battery when I go to use them, 'top it up' on the charge after a walk, and next time it'll be 60% battery. No rhyme or reason to it acting up at all, but once again shows that technology can be annoying.

    Flashing amber lights, cars drive through them, pedestrians are too afraid to cross, rightly so, and if they do they nearly get knocked down.

    Saw a lad run across as the lights were flashing amber earlier. He was very nearly knocked down and, to make matters worse, the car beeped him.

    Two of my three insist on sleeping abed with me... Better than a HWB....they have never jelled with the third so he is in exile in the kitchen. He is never out as last time he abused the privilege and was awol 36 hours. The other two have both known serious hunger and neglect so they never stray ..I just open the door and yell FOOD!l

    1) People who cannot keep to a time schedule….people who if running late for a scheduled appointment … still insist on doing certain non time essential tasks and things before they leave, be it taking phone calls, email , cleaning etc, making them further late… im thinking it’s maybe minor OCD…weird…with this individual it’s being going 20 years. If their place went on fire they’d probably insist on drying the dishes before they left…

    2) with energy prices soaring, contacted an energy supplier with the view to change, they are reluctant to get into committing to a quote online, instead want to send someone to visit in person to read the meter and have a chat….. can bills for the last 12-18 months not suffice ? Surely that will enable them with everything they need ?

    A million times this. I’ve a friend who will finish the ironing and hoovering etc. before leaving the house, completely ignoring the fact that everyone else has made the effort to be on time. Drives me mad, so much that I now rarely arrange to meet her.

    My one wakes me up with a claw prod to the chin during the night so she can burrow in beside me. She could go under the duvet at any point but has to go in at my head. Of course then I'm treated to loud purring which sends me to sleep again quickly enough.
