Pet Peeves

[Slaughterday]

Everyone is a fucking expert on stocks and shares now apparently.

Not to mention an expert on biochemistry, immunology, the machinations of scaling up biopharmaceutical production for billion dollar pharma companies etc etc.

Was in Aldi earlier on and saw a lad in his 60s of an agricultural persuasion absolutely burning the ear off the girl on the checkout about the real reason there's a delay with the vaccine, what he would do if he was in charge, his plan for opening the country again.... I could see the life draining from her eyes.

There seems to be this constant need for people to get their expert opinion across in every fucking conversation these days. Headwrecking.

I know I'm only messing.

FYI a pet peeve is a small bitch more than a valid objection to something. Best not to take it seriously.

I don't take it seriously

More than a pet peeve, really:

Rushed the dog into the vet's earlier as he'd collapsed and was barely breathing or responsive. Turned out to be a ruptured spleen, cue emergency surgery. Vet's optimistic but the next 24 hrs. will tell as he'd bled internally. He's 11 and other than a touch of arthritis, healthy.

Not sure how it happened, he was fine all day and not out of our sight for anything to happen. Probably a tumour, according to the vet it's the only other probable cause.

Sorry to hear about your dog..I really hope he pulls through. I lost one of my dogs last summer and I'm still not over it. I'm completely paranoid over the health of my other dog now but just had him checked out mid week and all looks good..After this though I think that's me done with dogs...It gets harder to bounce back when they pass away...

[Carnage]

Absolutely, and we have four all around the same age so it's gonna be tough when they go.

Cheers, he's doing well today anyway, vet's happy enough so far. We got him in just in the nick of time apparently, so fingers crossed he'll be grand. Might be home tonight, though I think it's a bit soon after surgery myself, but sure what do I know?

We lost our family dog a while ago she was hit by a Van. It was mad she just lept like she was startled and went in front of the van.

[Carnage]

Weird one, that.

He's home now anyway. Sore and miserable but recovering. No cancer in the spleen, he picked up a bang somewhere along the line is all we can figure, no idea where or when. Puzzlng.

[Emphyrio]

The term "metalheads". And stupid nicknames for fans of bands, "headcases", "maggots" etc. Fuckin dumb.

[Eoin McLove]

What's wrong with metalheads? I used to say rocker or metaller as a kid but metalhead is grand.

[Emphyrio]

Metaller is grand, if a bit outdated but metalhead....nah.

[Emphyrio]

Fat, sweaty Fibbers fellas would call themselves metalheads.

Gardaí across Ireland answered the call to give the public we serve a lift in these challenging times.

Yeah, serve with fines you glorified traffic wardens.

I live 15 mins from the office yet was stopped by 3 checkpoints. I'm essential services. Sick of it.
