Bad beat/Moaning/Venting thread - Mammy told me not to come.

[Raoul Duke III]

Bought adult (35) and child (10) tickets for the rugby on Sat.

Child has now dumped me in favour of more exciting options. Anyone know would stewards be strict on the child element or can I sneak an adult in?

[KevIRL]

Beginning of the end for card sharing dodgy boxes? A bunch of channels including SS1 not working the last couple of days.

Sky sports channels back but some minor stuff like Eurosport still gone. Hopefully a stay of execution until season end anyway.

Don't be silly 3/4 years isn't that old for a laptop, few years yet. Dry out the keyboard , leave it overnight.(upside down) You can also give it to a computer repair place , they'll take off the keyboard and clean any residue (including leaking botox). Don't shoot the horsie yet.

Get one with SSD. Class. Comes with a keyboard, they throw that in gratis, you'll never look back. Sure it's only 10er a month over 30 months when you think about it which is less than the cost of a 34 cent stamp per day. Ya won't do better god's honest.

Solid state drive, something to do with the hardrive, makes it fast as fuck. First one I bought had it, second one didn't. Still class, but sdd was the bees knees.

HE was on Prime Time looking for the council to keep cars in An Lar.

Probably will be out next calling for archaeologists to declare the road works a national monument and to stop them from turning them into a Luas line

Remove keyboard if possible. Should be a small rectangular hole that you clip is off with a screwdriver or hair slide.
Disconnect keyboard and put in in a bag of rice. Rice draws the moisture out.
Give the laptop, with keyboard removed, a blast of the hairdryer while you're there.


Edit: Raw/uncooked rice.

Finally met newbie today at the IO. Was looking at the names on receipts at my table as some chump sat in the wrong seat. Instantly recognised his name and looked up. He chuckles and says don't be looking at me, I'm in the right spot! I just said howye newbie and he chuckled. Surely you cleaned that table.

Probably for the best. Could be the final straw that leads to CIE breakup and privatisation. It's the end game anyway it's just a question of when it finally happens. No pain no gain.

[V for Vendetta]

Harsh. It's a tough spot when a secondary strike is placed on a Dublin bus depot. What can the drivers do? Cross the line and get pilloried and possibly fucked later on, or stay outside and get the public against you because loss making bus Eireann workers are forcing your hand. Tricky spot.

[Raoul Duke III]

Bike to Work scheme looking better by the day.

Two words: 'driverless technology'. Bring it on and sack all these gimps with no payoff.

Not sure - I just walked past a picket at the donnybrook DB depot. Doesn't serve bus eireann.

Incidentally I also took the opportunity to briefly discuss their grievances and sure enough they couldn't articulate any reasonable grounds for the strike. "It is what it is lad"

'workers' from all companies are picketing.

Unions are poison 99% of the time.

[Strewelpeter]

Hey if I was able to get €68K a year for driving a Bus < 40 hours a week I'd kill to try and protect la dolce vita

[Raoul Duke III]

Cycle in was grand. Lots of people trying to hitch when it definitely looked quicker to walk.

[ArmaniJeans]

Sister and niblicks stayed with me in Mulhuddart to avoid the Bus Eireann strike. I got on the 7.40am bus blissfully unaware of the strike, they stayed in bed for an extra 30 minutes and are now walking.
I'm sure they'll laugh about it someday.

Parked up in the phoenix park and walked for the luas. Beautiful morning for a walk at least.

It's not justified and completely illegal too.

If you have a look at the DB website you will see that 1 no.1 was operating. That was me. Bus Eireann didn't stop when we were on strike. I have 3 mortgages to pay as well, the bank manager would have lots of sympathy I'm sure.

Are we talking about the 'sympathy strikes' here specifically?

Just asking out of interest & ignorance - not getting ready to argue FWIW!

[Denny Crane]

how much is a taxi out to City West from city centre, 30/40 blips?

Site here - https://www.bettertaxi.com/taxi-fare-calculator/dublin/ - suggests 27 quid from Dawson Street to City West.

Sounds about right in normal conditions I guess, maybe a little on the cheap side.

[Tar.Aldarion]

Yeah but with traffic could be more than 50.

Red Line Luas, wear your stocktrader red braces obviously.

[Keane]

FWIW I had no problem with traffic at 9.30 this morning - lighter than usual if anything.

[Tar.Aldarion]

Yeah today is actually a good day to get it tbf!

[Denny Crane]

Luas too common?

Doesn't run 24/7 if I end up playing cash. And probably better ev not carrying cash on the Red line!
