    That kind of low-frequency, barely audible sound makes me anxious in a really weird, "fight or flighty" kind of way. I can't bear it because I'm not a naturally anxious person at all but there's just something in that kind of noise that triggers a very basal reaction in me.



  • Registered Users Posts: 3,278 ✭✭✭thomil


    For me, it's more of a "shut off that noise before I shut off the one responsible" situation. It was actually cool for the first fifteen minutes or so, I thought we would be able to watch one of the five ships in port leave. Five hours later... 😑😑😤

    Oh, and it's the Celtic Explorer, just found that out whilst walking to the bus...

    Good luck trying to figure me out. I haven't managed that myself yet!

    Big tobacco invested in vapes so they could get kids using them before moving them on to cigarettes.

    Should also be noted how prevalent smoking is on modern tv shows, and films. Lots of money being spent there.

    Clicked onto Instagram, thought about a year ago… ‘fûck this for a game of dominos, it’s verging on turning into an advertising platform with the odd photo’, now it’s that and more ffs. Used to love IG when it was about people sharing great photos and fun / interesting life experiences…. Now just too many businesses promoting their shît either through their pages and advertising.

    4 out of the first 10 photos are in fact paid for advertisements, then lots of companies just promoting the shît out of their stuff via normal posts… just get to fûck with all these adds, everywhere, !

    just going to unfollow and hopefully see a better experience from a once great app.

    A really beautiful woman just said hi to me and I said "not to bad, I mean hi"

    Do you know her/ see her around?

    It can often be a good sign when a girl says hi first (she could also be just being friendly) however it's worth a punt to try and strike up a conversation if you see her again.

    Plus she probably found your blunder amusing and has potentially made her smile for a lot longer than a "hi" would😍

    It's Christmas, go for it!!!

    I'm sure she meant Hiya but the ya part went without saying, @Sephiroth_dude. 😊

    The pictures that Amazon use as click bait for their deals. Really annoying to see something you are interested in as a deal with xx% off to click into it to find that the particular item in the picture link isn't reduced.

    Wake me up when it's all over.

    Now the 404 bus from Oranmore to Galway city is a pretty decent service most of the time, but twice there has been a no show now when I've been on my way to play a gig in the city. The first time was a few weeks ago where I just stayed and got the next bus but because I started session late I couldn't get last bus back so had to pay 25 euro taxi fare back to Oranmore. The second time was last night so I bailed after ten minutes of no show and got a taxi to the GMIT which expanded the choice buses and just made the gig but cost me 14 Euro. The annoying thing with Bus Eireann, there's no proper complaints system that will take it seriously.

    An expensive and decent cooker ....with cheap plastic knobs which make it feel like a toy cooker. And the numbers and markers have worn off. 😒

    People expecting me to do actual work this week. It's Christmas, fcuk off.

    They also only have The Two Johnnies. So, you have to take pity on them.

    Every website that sends out the standard *Happy Hawlidays* or "a note from our narcissistic CEO" emails this time of year. Stuff the marketing ploy and gimme a discount code to prove to me that you give a yak.

    The only somewhat personal touch this year was from a website that showed photos of the team behind the company. Probably smiling to ransom for their bonus but hey, it's the thought that counts.

    It is what it's.

    Businesses not returning calls. They wouldn't be particularly busy with Christmas. Long time customer. The information I need is not urgent but 5 mins is all it would take, it's common courtesy.

    I had reason to be in the royal hospital in Belfast at the weekend (did not know that post prandial hypotension was a thing till my MIL collapsed after dinner). All the staff were fantastic, so helpful, patient, gentle and thorough with her. But some (not all) of the homeless people that rocked into the waiting area at around 3am looking for a place to sleep and free tea and toast were shocking. Screaming and shouting, yelling at the staff and patients and their families, boasting about the steaks they'd stolen from tesco just because they could. Throwing food around the place and just being generally obnoxious. I actually felt unsafe. They made an already stressful and uncomfortable night 100% worse.

    The Americanised pronunciation of santa by kids.

    Sana'a is the capital city of Yemen, not a ficitional man that delivers presents down the chimney on Christmas Eve.



  • Registered Users Posts: 13,652 ✭✭✭✭Dial Hard


    The word "Mommy".

    Also, blue is not a Christmas colour. I will die on this hill.

    My Dad goes to an auld eccentric dose busybody of a barber. Well known in the area for being a tight yet affluent so and so.. who takes a rather great pleasure as he’s cutting your hair in trying to extract all of your business and info and goings on and impart to you all or some information that he’s been told about other clients. Of course he’ll tell you little to nothing about his own affairs.

    an ex client of said barber and a neighbour of my Dads is housebound or close, the barber was trying to cajole my Dad into picking the man up to bring him to his shop. Dad in his ‘80’s is not going to be responsible for picking up a man he’s only of greeting terms with, load the man with a mobility issue into and out of the car twice… My Dad his age could get hurt, easily… but cûnty chops in the barber doesn’t want to be down the few shekels…go up to the man in your fancy Merc and cut his hair if it’s that crucial to you..

    Your dad should have suggested the barber makes a house call..... looking after a loyal customer at Christmas !

    Only two types of people say mommy. Americans and travellers. Both are creepy in their own way.

    My TA is Xmas. All of it. The shopping, the extended build up, the f*cking songs. It's for kids, lads. Leave it at that.

    "Are you all set for Christmas" fcuk absolutely off. If you're new to me I give it a pass but otherwise what in the blithering hell are you on about? Don't look at people like they are aliens because they have to tolerate this time of year and accompanying festivities.
