    That nobody on this site remembered Michael Jackson's birthday today. A man who was innocent and found innocent in a court of law, hounded by the tabloid media and played a large part in his early demise. RTE won't play his music, but have no problem playing music from artists who have actually committed sexual crimes.

    Things might have changed since the initial announcement so forgive me if that’s the case but from what I’d seen tickets were rather reasonably priced?
    €88 to see Oasis isn’t at all a rip off, would be well cheaper than average prices for acts of equivalent size

    My TA is hotel breakfast black pudding

    My job sees me stay in a lot of hotels so I see a lot of hotel breakfast buffets around the country - 95% of the time the black pudding is overcooked and so dry there’s nearly a thick crust over it. Pudding should crumble nicely, not shatter.
    Even accounting for some drying due to sitting in hot holds, they’re still nearly always over cooked

    Ugh...black pudding...just the thought of eating animal blood turns my stomach 😵

    I remembered.

    Bad was released on Monday 31 August 1987. Bought the LP and CD (one extra track - Leave Me Alone) that day.

    How Friday has turned stressful… I'm not the catalyst but I could have avoided it by trusting my instinct and ignoring a phone call and subsequently a person… who these days dealing with is a stressfest...

    Stressfest....great description for most TA's.

    Have to laugh at people complaining about Oasis doing it for the money. Like what do people think any band go touring for 😂

    TA that it takes ages for phones to go from 99% to fully charged.

    Next Man City manager: You lot may all be internationals and have won all the domestic honours there are to win under Pep. But as far as I'm concerned, the first thing you can do for me is to chuck all your medals and all your caps and all your pots and all your pans into the biggest **** dustbin you can find, because you've never won any of them fairly. You've done it all by bloody cheating.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,724 ✭✭✭Badly Drunk Boy


    It's not like bands are making much money from album sales anymore, thanks to streaming, so touring is the best way to make money for them. People think they deserve to have music for nothing.

    This evening's TA: I decided to put on the Paralympics on RTÉ2 earlier, twice within 30 minutes, and the ads were on both times. I guess they're sticking with their constant ad-break policy from the Olympics last month. In fairness, Channel 4 were almost as bad but it seems to happen more often on RTÉ.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 32,620 ✭✭✭✭odyssey06


    TA you arent meant to fully charge:

    The golden rule is to keep your battery topped up somewhere between 30% and 90% most of the time. Top it up when it drops below 50%, but unplug it before it hits 100%. For this reason, you might want to reconsider leaving it plugged in overnight. Pushing in the last charge from 80-100% causes a lithium-ion battery to age faster.

    not complaining about them doing it for the money, I’m criticising them charging that amount of money :)

    Have to laugh at people who cant comprehend the difference ;)

    The fact the largest and most nationwide eye specialist company are seemingly terrible at updating their patient records.

    Every month I have to return letters either addressed too vaguely (may be the fault of the patient themselves) or to people no longer living at the address. Had someone dead a few years get a letter today- don't think glasses would be much use to them now. Every single 'Gone Away, Return to Sender' message seems to fall on deaf ears too.

    Should've updated their records.

    A cash grab you called it. Pretty standard ticket prices judging from the pre-sale.

    The monthly throbbing pain in my arm is back tonight. Probably stemming from a shoulder injury I picked up at the end of last year and definitely excaberated by consistently lifting and loading 100+ parcels etc six mornings a week.

    Today alone I had three over-sized, very heavy ones (one of them took up a third of the floor space of the van alone), and of course I'm not provided with a mechanical aid, and more often than not the customers wouldn't think about lending a hand on delivery either. Macho-ness only gets you so far.

    I will be broke up by the time I reach 50.

    Was sitting up this bed this morning around 7am when I heard a scraping noise coming from outside. Looked out the window to see a neighbour, 5 doors down, clearing the weeds from his driveway. I mean could he not have waited a few more hours.😡

    Bought a firm Ikea mattress in the store. First night on it and I'm a little sore and stiff. It was grand in the shop.

    Your body might just be adjusting to being better supported as you sleep. You could always get a mattress topper if it continues.

    I have loads to do and zero motivation.

    Ikea have toppers so I'm sure it'll be grand. Would rather not throw more money away but it is what it is.

    Fancied a day out but it's a grey day and, like yourself, I've stuff to do and a predictable lack of motivation.

    All of the kids I had in my house when they were growing up that I regard as "sons/daughters" are away and I had no idea how much I missed them until yes when youngsters passed having left the local rec centre. I steeled myself for them to be a bit stinky but they were not(happily) so now I feel person sick for the "my boys".

    During the week I was thinking of Hoziers performance of "Bridge over Troubled Waters" and the video they made for it during the covid fundraising for that sector, after much debating with myself I watched it and now I'm so freaking homesick as well!

    Ta'ed that my sense of smell triggered me and I knowingly made myself home sick!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!😡

    I texted a friend before I left my house wondering if he could meet for coffee later.

    I had to drive for the next 90 minutes and when I was close to my destination, I got a text. I pulled off the road to read it.

    "Sorry can't make it."

    Got back on the road only for a tractor to pull out in front of me and hold up me up for the remaining 10 miles. If I hadn't stopped…..

    I’ve found my long lost twin !!

    My TA is every house in the North that I’ve lived in never have the shaving mirror at the sink . Instead you have to turn around to see what you’re doing



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,947 ✭✭✭✭Strumms


    some gang of kids walking down the road, singing, shouting and roaring at each other, despite never being more then about 4 foot away from each other, they’ve set neighbour’s dog #1 off barking and in reply dog #2 has joined in the chorus. This is about 15 minutes ago and it’s been non stop barking .

    I know most kids are to an extent loud and rambunctious but fûck me what’s it about a certain generation that they just go around now screaming at each other.

    I'm reading a novel where the author is one of those polyglot c*nts who has mastered several languages including English and French. The thing is in English but has the odd passage of French in it since the protagonist speaks French as a first language. I speak a bit of French and Google Translate can make up the difference but it's still irritating.

    Seeing as you want to continually challenge other people’s TA’s…🥱. I actually go to gigs :) Nothing standard about a band charging that money, especially considering they are a band that haven’t released an album or toured in around 16/17 years….and at best towards the latter portion of their career were releasing seriously inconsistent or crap albums and pretty much every time I saw them in person or on TV in those latter stages they were phoning it in live…….

    TA all the moaning from people that didn't get oasis tickets! Jaysis, that's life! They will probably put on more gigs, it's not the end of the world, it's a concert!

    And that's from someone who has gone to oasis, noel, and Liam concerts! And didn't get tickets today!

    Worse happened me on Cork - Dublin Train years ago: Sitting on my tod in comparitively empty carriage. Then at Mallow a bunch of late middle age fellas get on and for some reason, occupy the rest of the seats on my table. Bla bla bla bla bla bla ….i'm listening to a borefest. Explained to the Ticket Inspector that I was moving , not dodging my train fare and moved to a different table.

    I was in a pharmacy yesterday and the guy next in the queue, while I was at the counter, was all but glued to my heels. I didn't actually realise it until I turned to leave.

    I'm glad I wasn't asking for anything too private but that's not the point. You wait your turn IN THE QUEUE not glued to the heels of the person in front of you, you idiot!

    A really strange looking mustard coloured sheep with a face like a teddy bear just sneezed on my hand and the amount of snot that came out of him rwas genuinely a sight to behold.

    I would have been impressed were most of it not on me.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,947 ✭✭✭✭Strumms


    woke at midday thanks to being awakened at about 4am for an hour by that dog again who was barking non stop well into the AM. Never a sign of the owner correcting it or attempting to train it or even coercing it to stop…

    He now is so dumb and arrogant that despite it being a restricted breed he takes it for walks without a muzzle…I don’t know if it’s legitimately aggressive but it routinely pulls towards passers by.

    So he is just determined that he and his mutt are going to be annoyances and compromising peoples sleep and health at best and a potential physical danger to others at worst… not two fücks given… a permanent grin on his face when he is out walking it as if to say “ yep, this and me is what’s annoying you all, do something about it “…

    Little does he now know 😵☺️
