    Lucky Dee Forbes is sick, otherwise she would make you go back and watch every single one of those ads you skipped

    Long Commutes. They have been the bane of my existence at various times. Years ago in London I had one that was 2h each way, on bus, Tube and train. After 9 months of that, I came down with pneumonia and was out for two weeks.

    Ye Hypocrites, are these your pranks
    To murder men and gie God thanks?
    Desist for shame, proceed no further
    God won't accept your thanks for murder.

    I'd like to add shift work to this. There is different shift patterns in fairness and some are worse than others.

    I used to have 12hr shifts that were 3 days on, 3 days off, 3 nights on, 3 nights off, or something like that. Wasn't too too bad but still not ideal.

    Then moved company and had 2 days on, 2 nights on 4 days off. It was brutal. You work 8 am to 8pm and you've 24 hours to switch to working again at 8pm. No way I could have done it without blackout curtains but even then it took a toll on my health. Not worth the shift premium tbh.

    Even though I loved it at the time , I'd never go back to snaring rabbits and cutting, turning, clamping and bagging turf. Though the ride home in the tractor was great craic.

    Had to use US modern toploaders in 2014 that were about as 'good' as a twintub. One was a 110v dryer - may as well have breathed on my clothes to dry them, and I'm asthmatic. The spin in a better twin tub would probably have left them dry enough to hang off the end of the bed or something; this just made them warm and damp for hours and hours

    "Ways of living I never want to go back to" - sorry pal, I can't answer that but I did all I could to be my best, raise a family and secure them. I've been through so much **** that I don't even want to think about it.

    Growing up on a west of Ireland farm, feeding cattle smelly silage and shoveling shite from them all day Saturday because we had no slatted shed, then asking your miserable b@llox father for a tenner to go out on a Saturday night and him making a big deal out of it, w@nker! Great memories 🙄🙄

    Living in a house overseas with no heating system apart from a tiny stove while working long hard hours. Spent many an hour lying in the bath watching a movie on the laptop on the floor of the bathroom. Sometimes would have a bottle of red wine for company and all.
