    Hmm.. if there's no other rubbish dumped nearby and it's not an area likely to have teenagers etc drinking on the QT then that sounds like the explanation alright.

    My TA is in the last couple of years the huge numbers of my neighbours who bought dogs.

    Some loud, undertrained, annoying barkathon yokes.

    A quiet Sunday, warm with all windows open and relaxing ?

    That would have been nice but the dog my neighbour has in the last 30 minutes has set all the others off, again!

    The neighbour himself, early 30’s is sat outside, on a deck chair, in a vest with what looks like his mother’s old sun hat on, reading, oblivious to the big hairy yoke feet away, running around and barking at, well everything ..🤷🏻

    When I hear a song that I like and the song ends just before I can Shazam it to check the name and artist..



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,939 ✭✭✭✭Dial Hard


    Into the 3rd day of this headache, and I only have myself to blame: when I'm super-stressed about something - as I am right now - I clench my jaw really hard in my sleep and that's causing it.

    No point in trying a gumshield either - I clench, not grind, and they actually just allow me to do it even harder.

    Le sigh.

    DH, sometimes this works - put a pencil across your mouth a bit like a horse's bite (when you're awake, obvs), as far back as you can, and hold it with your teeth for a few minutes, it'll force the clenched muscles to relax (or to move differently).

    The smell of Lynx Deodorant.

    Vile stuff.

    I have an aer Lingus flight booked in 2 weeks, heading to UK for exams, and not sure whether to buy Ryanair flight just in case!!!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,939 ✭✭✭✭Dial Hard


    My cousin is an Aer Lingus pilot. Half of them have their own summer holidays booked and are as keen to get this sorted as everyone else.



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,719 ✭✭✭maebee


    I very much welcome the summer but the one thing about it that I absolutely hate is the buzzing sound of flies trapped in my house. I have one of these in every room.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,748 ✭✭✭It wasnt me123


    My sympathy lies with the pilots, no increase in 5 years and Aerlingus made 255 million in profits last year - they should give them a decent increase, I just hope they do it fast :-)

    on the subject of deodorant/antiperspirant I’m doing a stock replenishment later and seeing on Boots website that one of my regularly favoured products is now €7.49 ‘per can’…€22.47 for 3 cans of 250ml antiperspirant…. Ermmmmm 🤐

    Was out spinning on my bike yesterday and decided to pick up a few bits in a shopping centre as I was passing one.

    When I got home I noticed my indicator was broken.

    I'm assuming it happened when I was in the shopping centre as that was the only time the bike was out of my sight 🙄



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,572 ✭✭✭✭Leg End Reject


    You should hide your reg @blade1.

    My TA is the dead heat.



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,313 ✭✭✭Vote4Squirrels


    My pain meds make me drowsy and so I’m having an afternoon nap. I’m old..!!!!!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,507 ✭✭✭✭castletownman


    Said women invariably always seem to wear sunglasses when driving them too, no matter the weather.

    My TA: I am fairly certain that I had a mild anxiety attack last night overthinking about a life-changing event happening in a few months. The hangover didn't help but was definitely uncomfortable to experience.

    the clown taxi driver that took up both set down / drop off / pick up bays at the gym earlier, bad enough one but he parked across both of them when I was going in. I left about 80 minutes later or whatever, the car was parked in the same position but the driver had disappeared… very doubtful that he was suffering any mechanical issues because initially the engine was running…..

    At a meeting people not only coming in late but interrupting the person who is speaking and won't stop talking. Happened to me tonight. I just wanted to strangle her.

    I opened a packet of cheese and can’t stop eating it .When I got near the bottom all the cheese was moulded. Wild dreams tonight 😷😷



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,678 ✭✭✭✭cj maxx


    Bloody y apps that don’t work . I need to order meds but the stupid site keeps saying invalid entry . So I have to drive to the GPs tomorrow to order my normal prescription . But seemingly all this crap is for my security . Grand, but before you roll it out make sure it works !

    Wobbly table in a cafe.

    You're man Dowling and his husband in the media again waxing lyrical about having a second child, Jesus we won't hear the end of this for months on end.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,131 ✭✭✭The Continental Op


    Slightly different context but was discussing this the other night in the pub. The consensus of onion was wobbly tables are what beer mats are designed for :-)

    Wake me up when it's all over.

    Really a trivial thing that makes me happy in the context of the above conversation.

    But +100 for "Wobbly" as an actual word.

    A Wobbly word in a Wobbly world.

    😁

    A themed 40th birthday party. As if having to go to a party isn't bad enough, I am expected to dress a certain way for a theme.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,872 ✭✭✭CrowdedHouse


    The built in Spotify app (amongst other things) has disappeared off my car seemingly because a subscription has expired. It would be €99 a year henceforth.

    Rip off

    Even more annoying I was expecting a new car last month so this shouldn't have been a problem, I know the car is built but hasn't arrived grrrr…

    They are two media hoors and they are jumping on the social media rocket where people who don't actually do anything useful, or damaging things to society, can earn a lot of money.

    And worse they are selling their children and some kind of gay credibility to do this.

    Meanwhile somewhere a child is working in a mine for resources for our phones and cars.

    The juxtaposition of these things makes me think we are actually living in some kind of simulation.



  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 80,813 Mod ✭✭✭✭Sephiroth_dude


    Nothing against them personally or them having children but media Hoors is the right word for them.

    Note to self

    DO NOT take Dublin to Ballina train ever again. Each and every time, no matter what time of day, it is a Clusterf*k

    take the Dublin to Sligo train in future which is'nt always chock full, well 75 % of the time.

    At 40 you'd think they would have learnt better by now.

    Wake me up when it's all over.

    We've an election in the UK next week and John Oliver covered it on Last Week Tonight which I cannot watch because it's not on their Youtube channel here.

    earlier I gets a notification of a DM on a social media platform. It turns out it’s from one of the pubs I dine at and follow on SM.

    Strange, I began to wonder..am I invited to something ? being informed about an upcoming specific special event?

    Not a bit of it, I’m being DM’d with todays food menu. 😅

    Somewhat of a colossal overreach by a business now that they are DMing friends / followers on their social media accounts with the menu. I’m presuming this is going to be a daily thing so unfriend / unfollow / block and goodbye. Still eat there it’s genuinely a delicious, relaxing comfy experience in fairness but that is completely taking the piss…..

    We share 1 Spotify sub across 4 people. One person gets to download stuff and listen offline when they want to listen and the others have to fight for online access. Probably should get a family sub. But it's not worth it until those fights get serious. 🤣



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 34,088 ✭✭✭✭NIMAN


    You'd think at 40 yrs old, people would have grown up.

    A modern phenomenon, non-kids making a big deal about their birthday.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,872 ✭✭✭CrowdedHouse


    I hear what you're saying, this is a stand alone app that you didn't have to even have your phone with you to listen to Spotify and very easy to access playlists etc.

    I suppose the point being it seems to be trend that features are built into cars now that the manufacturers try to dip into your pocket after buying so they'll continue to work.

    Smelly people.

    There was a man absolutely honking of BO in a supermarket at lunch time. I could smell him long before I had the misfortune to find myself on the same aisle. It wasn't a day of sweat either, he mustn't have washed for a week.

    And god knows how many showers it will take to get rid of that eye-watering, nostril hair-singeing stink. His home and car must be absolutely rancid if his pungent smell can fill a supermarket.

    Watching everyone especially young people vape, such sheep.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,939 ✭✭✭✭Dial Hard


    How can these people not smell themselves??? I worked with a guy before and I swear to god, the stink off him would make a maggot's eye water. And he was married with kids - you'd think his family would have had a word with him.

    As you say, that's not one missed shower - let's face it, we've all had the odd day where we just weren't arsed - it's habitually not washing and that includes clothes. That level of stink isn't coming off their bodies alone.

    Group tables in the Euros have number of points in the first column !!!! Number of games played should always be first and number of points should always be the last column just after goals conceded !!! grrrrrrr



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,882 ✭✭✭✭Strumms


    I concur, been the other way for forever …. Absolutely no reason to change it. Some eejit looking for something to do is my guess.

    On the subject of football watching ..Netherlands vs Austria, the Austrian keeper Pentz going down for an age with an injury having himself clattered into another player, for this he was awarded a free kick. The levels referees go to protect goalkeepers…

    That every time I sit down to relax I get nauseous , and if I’m after eating it up comes back up . All because of being rear ended 2 1/2 years ago . I didn’t take it further as once the car was fixed and after a bit of therapy on it I thought I was grand . It’s only trivial as the girl who hit me was put in a really tough position and from that point of view I’m glad I didn’t try to clean her . But anyway my annoyance is puking

    At a concert in Musgrave Park and went into tge women's toilet, where a woman comes out of a stall, which I go in, and instead of flushing the toilet she just puts the toilet lid down. Surely pushing the flush button would of required less effort than closing the lid. Some women really are filthy animals and it's why I dread using public loos.

    Also recently at a gig, had multiple small packs of tissue and hand sanitiser but the lid down non flush neanderthals boggle the mind
