Poeole contacting you and expecting things done same day.

Colleagues who decide to use a team call to raise issues related to your input on a project! I have had 3 calls with this individual this week (including one 30mins before the team call) and not a mention. I have no issue with what was raised. I have a huge issue with the way it was tackled.

Airing dirty laundry in public at work, especially if bosses are present...Not for me, Jeff.

This happened in a meeting I was at, where the jobsworth 'coordinator' (I'm a secondary school teacher) for the iPads we use stated pointing her fat fingers at everybody, one by one, uttering either 'fine' or 'no idea', 'you don't know what you're doing' etc right in front of the boss. She has issues with quite a few people and almost to a man they got publicly embarrassed over poxy iPad apps.

I actually am not great but I'm a foreigner so there was probably no value in having me taken down a peg.

Amazon Prime in Spain having several films available only in the dubbed version, and the original English nowhere to be seen.

WTF like.

VPN is your friend.

Same in France with a fair few films dubbed in French, including some of Almodovar's. Head-wrecking. What the fuck was digital entertainment invented for if not to, at a bare minimum, allow one to watch something in the language and with the subtitles one desires??

[Caomhaoin]

Especially if the original version is not available!

Any VPN recommendations that'll work well on the TV streaming apps?

[Carnage]

I've never used one TBH, I'm sure others here are more tech savvy.

All tracksuit bottoms seem designed for ankle display these days.

Remember the heady days of 2006 - 2010 when every young eejit dressed like they got off the IRFU bus?

Provincial/National jersey, Dubarry boat shoes and a pair of Canterbury tracksuit pants that were at least 50mm too long. Back of the trousers shredded from stepping on them and turned into some weird sort of stirrup.

You'd see them in the pub of a Saturday afternoon post-shopping in BTs, pre-going home to get changed into a striped shirt and boot cut jeans. The one thing both types of pants had in common was that did a neat job of soaking up all the piss off of the floor in the gents toilets.

Amazon Prime is the only streaming service I have come across that won't work with a VPN.

I played a game of five a side on Wednesday evening which lasted an hour and my legs are still fucked, I feel like an arthritic auld fella. I keep fit and I am under 40, but the flower of youth withers fuckin' rapid.

Every cunt and his granny, and no doubt her granny too, is covered in tattoos over here. I'm burnt out looking at them, but the absolute state of the leg tattoos that are ubiquitous here. They look gay enough when women get them, but when men get them it's at least double, if not triple gay. Fucking retarded looking yokes. Themed ones, no less. Sea creature themes, land mammal themes, some fucking spazzo I just walked past had a Yorkshire terrier on his thigh! Straight to the gulag with that shit.

A friend of mine went over there for a year and arrived back with a scene from some kind of fantasy Japanese pond on his thigh, two koi fish swimming around lotus flowers and the like. stupidest fucking tattoo I ever seen, It might look nice on the shapely leg of a Japanese schoolgirl but on the hairy peg of an Irish mucksavage it's fucking awful.

[Eoin McLove]

Oh yeah, I've seen the gold fish ones. Spastication at its finest.
