I'd say the country could have won the abortion referendum by a higher margin again if they'd put pictures of GLS workers on their posters

"Yay" says I, as I get a notification my delivery is coming today

"Yay" says I, as I see a van pulling in with said delivery

"You've gotta be shitting me" says I, as I see the driver spend ten minutes looking through the back of his van that looks like Israel suspected that Hamas was back there, for him to then tell me, in very broken English, "you have package Monday, I thought in van but it not" and driving away....

I decided about three months ago to let my hair grow, having had a shaved head for about thirty years. I've gotten to the first shaggy stage and it's driving me crazy! I think an under shave will be on the cards asap or it could be a case of throwing in the towel and going bald again!

Is there a more incompetent bunch of cells in this universe?

There used to be, but thankfully Fastway went bust.

Get used to wearing hats for the next while

I shaved my head for years and then decided to wait until my position was untenable and leave a bit on the top but jesus is it fair fucking curly for ever after

Watching the Footie Final here and every time they score a goal, which in this particular game is very often,  they go to an ad break. Talk about buzz kill! Still, fucking epic game in the end.

The Americanization of sport. You could see it creeping in during the world cup as well with the water breaks cutting straight to ads (in North America they did. I noticed when I was VPN-ing a a game through BBC it didn't).

[Eoin McLove]

It's so bad. It kills the momentum entirely.

I think they found a nice balance with the way they put extra ads in during the Six Nations rugby. Only one per half, during a natural break in play (usually for injury) and they were on screen adverts, so you could still see what was going on (usually the man with a magic sponge or the attractive French or Italian fans).

I do love that the culture wars haven't yet caught up with the time-honoured tradition of the cameraman trying to pick out the hot chick in the crowd

It's coming back somewhat but it was definitely curtailed after South African world cup, I think it was. Bleedin' killjoys.

Flat tyre on the car when I was going out the door to work just now. Having to change the fucking thing and then probably pop the spare on the same cunting pothole at the end of the driveway. Also, having to fix the big crater at the end of the drive because the local council are charging 20k per house to fix the road. Cunts.

[Thorn]

Eh?.20k per house?

[Eoin McLove]

Yeah, shocking. Apparently, before covid hit, they put it to a vote to ask the houses on the street to get the road properly surfaced (it's a glorified dirt track that has to be topped up with compacted stone every few months because it washes away every time there's heavy rain) and they were going to do it for 7k per house. A majority voted yes, but then when covid hit, the job was put on ice. In the meantime the cost has almost tripled, and when they put it up for a public vote a few months ago the result was a no vote.

I'm all for them fixing it and turning it into a proper road, but me and the wife both work and pay our taxes as well as paying car tax on two cars and yearly rates on the house. There's the option to pay it off over ten years, but I'm fucked if I want to double the cost of the rates on my gaff! And knowing fucking governments, once they start taking it off you, is there any guarantee that they'll actually stop taking it!
