Pet Peeves

[Thorn]

Had the left cataract done about six weeks ago and yeah, awake through the whole thing, it was alright until the very last bit where they have to inject something to prevent infections I think it was, man I let some howl outta me, something along the lines of
SHITTIN JESUS, FUCK!!,

I got my eyes lasered about 10 years ago and haven't needed glasses since. My eyesight hasn't changed in all that time, best decision ever. But fuck me, the procedure was the closest I will get to knowing what dying feels like - eyes fully open and can see light and as they start the procedure my vision just slowly faded to black, was horrible. The valium they gave me helped.

I opted for surgery once under sedation and not a full anesthesia, only to wake up with the first incision. I do remember letting out a vicious mouthful before they put me under fully (they were anticipating that I might wake up so were ready. I dread to think what I shouted out.

I had a used CD of Cynic's Focus in my basket saved for when I finished work. Went to buy it and some other bastard had bought it.

I thought about laser a few years ago, but was told I'd need glasses again in the future, so decided not to bother. I wear contacts occasionally though, not a big fan of them though.

I was all in favour of getting mine lasered until a friend of mine did it and it went wrong*. His was one out of a good few people I know that have had it done but it scared me off regardless. My sight's so bad that it might not be feasible anyway.




*Infection in both eyes and the treatment involved going back under the knife to scrape/clean the area under the cornea. Multiple times. In the meantime he had to put up with constant and serious pain in his eyes. The company he went to were pretty shoddy as it turned out, and a lot of people were similarly affected. Long story short it went to a class action suit and I believe he got a decent payout in the end. His eyes are fine now, he got proper treatment for it.

Went to an "over 30s" nightclub last night. Billed as having mostly 80s and 90s music, with a bit of 70s and 00s for good measure. Most notable was the hours - started at 7pm, billed to end at 11pm (which is a fucking fantastic idea).

The music played fitted the dates properly, and some legit bangers of each decade were trotted out... except the lad on the decks (sorry, his laptop) played generic dance remixes of every single song. Hearing "ince ince" bass over Fleetwood Mac and ABBA should be a fucking crime punishable with having your ears removed.

What a tasteless farce.

Jesus. But did you pull a recently separated, mid-'40s, fairly tipsy as it's her 'first night away from the kids in furreverr and she just needed to be seen, y'know?' woman? 🤔

11 o'clock closing is brilliant, time to get back to the local for a few comfotable ones after.

[Ollkiller]

Was at one of those over 30's nightclubs in cork (friends were going so tagged along). 7 till 10.30 pm. Nice vibe to it, DJ was playing shyte mixes of good tunes which kind of ruined it. Only reason I'd go again is if I was single. You'd have to be some gobshyte not to score at it.

When your supermarket decides after twenty years since the last renovation to change shit round, and you can't find where anything is.

Local tesco did that about a year ago and I still can't find where the fuck anything is.

Except for the 75c own brand tins of beef and veg soup. Could honestly live off those, I eat them straight out of the tin and all stone cold. Seriously one chap could eat for around 15 quid a week by adding bread and maybe some fruit to the price of the tins of soup. Might not live long but it'd be a cheap life all the same

Ordered brekkie from a local cafe and I went for the brisket. Collected it, got home and opened it up to discover they had mangled the fucking thing completely. This trend of "pulling" meat after it's been cooked wrecks my head. A beautiful piece of slow cooked brisket shredded into fucking dog food... why??? For Instatards? Mental behaviour, possibly even verging on the unethical.

"Instatards" os hereby added to the personal lexicon

I see amazon.ie has launched, so I did a price comparison on a previous order that I received from the UK a few weeks ago, amazon.ie 49 Euro v Amazon UK 28 Euro, both prime to Ireland, based on that can fuck off with their Irish site

Reminds me of buying the last Tool album.  Was about 50 quid from the US including delivery but over 100 off the UK site
