Jaysus Christ...

We might as well put one up to Lord Kitchener and Arthur Wellesley, both of them were born in Ireland!

Two absolute goons playing boy racer overtaking each other, weaving over continuous lines  like spastics  today, in a mad rush to get to the unavoidable border crossing between Croatia and Montenegro. Both stuck right up my hole on a scandalously bad road with dangerous bends. Lo and behold, we are just three assholes waiting for 20 minutes to flash the passports. I will never understand this kind of shitehawkery from grown men.

That's as bad as the Luke Kelly head in Dubbelin, or that Ronaldo one from a while back.

Awful statue. Its unveiling did indirectly reveal two unknown facts to me though; Lynott and Robert Plant were both born in West Brom, on the same day, exactly one year apart.

That looks like somebody gave the artist a description of what he looked like and then they made it out of chocolate and it melted a bit.

Pink Lady Apples....   Lov'em!

But those poxy little stickers really grate my cheese!

My job unfortunately requires me to be on LinkedIn. The amount of people posting about their dead relatives, new born children etc etc just to market themselves for their business is absolutely insane. Using a business platform to post your Facebook shite in order to drum up more business is scumbag behaviour.

LinkedIn is easily the absolute worst social media of all time.  Absolute hell site.

Agreed. Using your family members' ailments or recovery/death of same to generate revenue for your business is scumbag behaviour.

Cunting customs charges. A CD I bought for ~€7, customs/VAT fee is 95c but An Post's fee is €3.50. Cunts. And it won't go through online so I have to go into town in the morning to pay the cunts. Who are cunts.

This only arrived today. Which means I'll be waiting another month for the one I paid the fee on yesterday.

And of course this arrived today. A month waiting for one while the next one came in two days. Odd.

Someone close to me lost their job two days ago. The gist of it, the company didn't want to have pay for the worker's extra overtime pay. No advance warnings , just please collect your things on the day, and say goodbye. It was legal but done in a very calculating way.

In stark contrast the same company took 6 months to sack a worker who slept on the job, literally slept in the corner on the couch after lunch hours. Did just the bare minimum of work and they were even offered paid sick leave  to resolve the issue and finally after no improvement said,right you need to go.

And then another account from a hard worker I know saved this same company up to 60,000 eur and he got a bottle of whiskey as a thankyou.

Tip of the iceberg example of this life draining entropic system we´ ve  been expected to grin and bear it ,sure its only a matter of time before it will collapse in on itself.

That sounds shit enough. This "lucky to have a job" attitude that certain employer seem to adopt is grating. It's not the 1980s. First few years of my working life, I left people walk all over me.

I had someone pull that shit about 15 years ago. Wanted me to work overtime, fair enough - but clock out and do it "as a favour to him", not fair enough. He'd didn't even own the company! I refused and he said "Well, if you don't want to do it, there's plenty of others who will - up to you." I asked if that was my notice. And packed up my toolkit.  Fuck that - there's always another job.

Yep. Bought a book from the UK on Amazon to be delivered to Spain. Cost me 5.18 upon delivery at the door, nobody thought to inform me that this would be the fact upon initial payment. Ballbags.
