I hope this email finds you well... 

It's an email and I'm in an office in 2024! It's not a message delivered by a horseback rider during the smallpox pandemic!

Not being able to buy alcohol until 10.30am. Not even in a lush kinda way, but just not being able to buy bottles of wine for Christmas while I'm buying food for Christmas. Fuckin barbaric.

I give everyone the "I hope you're well", same effect and less ridiculous.

I second this and I work in a shop. Fairly silly you have to come back to the shop to get a few drinks. Once I forgot about the times on a bank holiday and brought the booze up to the checkout. I was 15 minutes before the the time and had to go wait in the car and come back in. Why is Ireland so retarded? Any other country and you can buy alcohol around the clock.

Try buying offo in Norway! It's open for two or three hours in the afternoon only. Insane.

The year Xmas Eve was a Sunday was a fucking killer. And led to a absolute surge at midday. Was chatting to a lad who worked in Lidl and they had to bring the second shift in earlier.

Just more restrictions but don't worry it's all for your own good. As bad as Ireland is in Ontario only two shops can sell alcohol with the exception of wine both Government run the LCBO and the Beer Store. Both only open 12-5 on Sundays and most of them close at 8 on other days.

They have in the last few years started letting supermarkets sell some cans but usually just the generic piss like Heineken, Budweiser etc.

Imagine not being able to go to your local shop and get any drink at all. Even emergency cans for an unexpected night out.


I am going to my parents for Christmas my Mother did the shopping online this week so I gave her my list and she wasn't able to order any of the drink I wanted due to the only delivery slot being available was 10am - 12. Away for EHG tonight and in Dublin for it tomorrow so I am sure by the time I get to Tesco what I want will be gone as that will be Sunday since you don't know where the cunts will have check points setup for Christmas and they will sting you for having a few the night before.

Putting up a christmas tree, pain in the hole.

Any word on the Chicken Roll situation?

Piss boiler right there.
It's the same sort of stuff if you have to deal with Amazon customer service.
I get they have a script to follow but it seems the script was written by someone with no real world experience in how to deal with people.
I had to phone them as the email back and forth was going nowhere.
The issue is irrelevant but suffice to say it was a complaint. Not one of those inflated sense of self importance type complaints either.
One of the response emails stated with

Thank you for contacting Amazon customer support, I hope this email finds you in good spirits.
Twisted knickers immediately after reading that.
Followed the stows for the call back.
That process was very quick and the person on the other end was polite, well spoken and thorough.
When it got to the " is there anything else I can help you with today " part my petty immature side came out.
I asked them if people would normality contact them jay for a chat or to say how much they loved them?
Presuming the answer would be no, I asked what makes them think having to track down or rectify some Amazon mistake would have me in good spirits.
Please pass on my regards to your colleagues and after that please tell your supervisors they are the reason babies  cry.
Silence followed by " thank you for contacting Amazon customer care and please have a lovely day"
Me 1 , them 0.
( in my head anyway)

Long visits with people who keep their television turned on during every waking hour. I can't handle the constant advertising every 10-15 minutes, makes me want to throw a tantrum. Don't know how people can live their whole lives what that shit.

Christmas songs (most of them):
Esp:

Fairytale of New York : the most overplayed and overrated one of all. The sound of christmas pudding with a topping of barf. Fck off back to NY.

Mariah Carey: loud brash and irritating, turn it down!

However,  Wham (last Christmas) gets a pass as it is as cheesy and silly as the season is.
