Just did a comparison on the new Bob Mould - €16 on the Irish one, €16:11 on the UK one, with delivery a day earlier from the latter. Of course.

There you go, guess you just need to double check as not all a rip off potentially

Ah that was just a random one off the top of my head, and it was a new release CD too. Vinyl might be a different story, storage concerns etc.

I might have ranted about this before but people who reply to work messages with Heart Emojis.  If you can't be bothered with a reply like, thank you or perfect, then at least use a thumbs up. No need to send me a fucking love heart.

I think I am just too old to be working with people in their 20s.

I only learned the other day from watching Adolesence on Netflix that those love hearts have different meanings depending on the colour, so if you're getting purple ones you might be in luck

[Anvil]

If I get a purple one I will let you know

Got my new glasses the other day. Didn't even leave the shop with them because they cut the lenses incorrectly (focal point much too low), but figured they'd fob me off. Rejected them, got the new lenses today. Focal point is fine, but unless I'm looking dead center at something, there's chromatic abberation that presents as a strong blur to the sides. Not my peripheral, rather anything that isn't dead center.

The sunglasses I received today (because they couldn't find them the other day) have the same initial problem as the regular specs, namely the focal point is too low and I have to tilt my head back to get a sharp image.

Straight back with them both, they're not cut properly. Their obligation to repair, replace or refund if they don't do the job.

Cunts ghosting after agreeing on a sale.

I was about to get shouty with the lad, so I agreed to "wear them for the weekend" just so I didn't make a scene.

I'll be cool as a cucumber on Tuesday, will be requesting both sets of lenses are replaced. If not then a refund. And if not that then I'll be starting a chargeback with my bank.

Luckily for myself I know consumer rights backwards and forwards. I've fought for a few replacement items for myself and others other the years, and despite the retailer trying to shirk responsibilities, I've been successful every single time.

[Carnage]

Fight the power.

Obligated.

Nonsense stock images of non-existant keyboards keys being used for news articles,

e.g. wtf is this shit on RTE News right now?

A Simpsons piss-take phrase but one I now fully understand: Time burglars
