Another slight minor work quibble...

The security guard at the front of the building doesn't say hello or good morning to me; instead he says, "Oh there you are!" Is this an Irish phrase? Are we playing hide and go seek? It

A Dublin thing., Unless she's doing the peek-a-boo, I see you thing with his hands while he says it?

Another slight minor work quibble...

The security guard at the front of the building doesn't say hello or good morning to me; instead he says, "Oh there you are!" Is this an Irish phrase? Are we playing hide and go seek? It's not like I just popped out of the bushes or something. It irks me. Just like the woman in the main office of my last Dublin job who was of similar age as me and called me "pet".... no one else, just me.

Weird, there's one securty guy in the whole place that knows my name and he always says "Oh, there she is. Hello Reets".
I was freaked out the first few times taht I was supposed to doing something but nope, that's just his greeting.

google wallet have added a new setting, whether verification is required for every purchase - and i can only turn verification off for purchases of public transport fares. which means i've to unlock my phone now to make any purchase. it's possible that that setting has been enforced by my bank, i suspect.

although:
"This addition follows reports that Google Wallet in some countries is now requiring device unlocks for tap to pay (store) transactions regardless of the amount."

Google Wallet adds 'Verification settings' on Android

New "Verification settings" in Google Wallet for Android let you "choose if you'll need to verify it's you when using your payment methods...

There he is, is what I hear a lot. It's not just a Dublin thing.

In your case I reckon DMP is right. In my case, people often mean it in a "here comes trouble. What now?" kind of way, because I wouldn't speak to anyone if there wasn't an issue. Or at least that's the impression they have.

When I use it, it's usually because someone has tried to sneak in late, and I'm not having that.

I signed up for Facebook to watch Shane McGowan's funeral less than 10 minutes before it started.
Didn't know it would be on TV.

After 4 weeks Facebook suspended my account and told me I had to post a photo. About two weeks ago I sent them a photo of me... from 1981.
Somehow they accepted this and unsuspended the account.

Facebook is pretty much 2010's.
Seems like very little going on with most folks and they haven't posted regularly for years

It is grim alright.

I do enjoy bits like Dull Mens Club or Stage Weight Appreciation Society, and the occasional photo from a cousin or something. I'm sure there's loads of cool groups about guitars or whatever you're into yourself.
The rest of it is dirge. The algorithm is just shit. I don't like star wars that much Marky Z. shit memes.

"Shush, here he/she/they is." Is top tier greetings. Enjoy being well thought of.

I have a pair of these in the press I bought to wear at my brother's wedding about 12 or 13 years ago. Are they fashionable now? I think the buckle is cool, made me feel like Bobby Shafto

No, they are as uncool as ever.
