People in work who seem to think adding a small 'A/L' at the top of their calendar is the right way to signal you're not going to be working instead of making it an all day appointment and clicking show as Out of Office.

My Instagram ads for the last few weeks are all for St. Patrick's Day parties in London. Jameson! Bottomless Guinness! Baby Guinness! Spice bags! Men with Irish sounding names DJing!

My new Samsung tv has a really annoying graphic when changing volume that can't be customised. Who designs a display that tells you only the direction the volume is going and not how close it is to the top or bottom? AND it really intrudes on the picture as well.

Not the worst part of London though! Was it Marcella or somewhere else? Been there and enjoyed it but Sharkbait around the corner is better. Although it may be full of terrible people since the fawning Observer review.

My tv has started to power off at random intervals. Thought it was the Google TV Chromecast first as it seemed to only happen on that. Now it has spread to apps on the tv and when watching regular channels. After being through every troubleshooting step imaginable I'm gonna see if I can wrangle...

got charged €10 for shipping on a cd from Ireland bought via Bandcamp recently and just thought "ugh, Brexit". Received the cd and saw it cost €3 to send.

We need a better system for highlighting top quality content in threads I rarely venture into. Genuine like administered.

I bought a (budget) smart tv and a fancy soundbar. Now I've got about ten different ways of accessing tv channels and all the usual streaming services but the audio is out of sync to different degrees of every one of them. After weeks of fiddling with the settings I think I'm getting there with...

went out to the local notions bakery to buy some bread the other morning and the middle-aged English guy behind the counter excitedly said "is that an Irish accent I hear?" when I was paying. This is tolerable - happy to tell him exactly where I am from if he asks because that happens anytime...

my Pocket list is a bit out of control and it's stressing me out.

Some new people moved in next door to us last week and have affixed a small American flag to the fence which I can see through the window. Must see if I can train the cats to rip it to shreds.

They've got a new range of vegan sandwiches into the canteens at work which are all £3.20 or more and gotten rid of the perfectly serviceable £1.80 hummus & beetroot sandwich from the old range. Obviously all vegans are well off enough for this not to matter but still. Loads of plain non-vegan...

I can't see so I can't tell you how terrible what you're listening to is.

I've visited three branches of Greggs at lunchtime in search of a vegan sausage roll without success.

I want to blast the new Rednecks album but the cats are sleeping and I don't think they'd be too happy with me.

Eating solo on Dame St and there is a Brit chatting away at the table next to me. This isn't what I came home for! I want a refund.

I'd still have found something to complain about!

I was in a Shebeen Chic type place in Killarney recently. My family insisted on taking me there - "you'll love it! It's so cool!". Both times I ordered my drink at the bar (a bottle of local beer) the bar staff didn't have a clue - "oh you mean this beer?". So I had to tell them what the bottle...

Yes! It was nice but I'm never in that part of London so have only had it once. There's some new weekly vegan market starting soon so I'll check that out sometime.

Yeah...I mean there are loads of options here in London like but the day to day stuff like going downstairs to the canteen have gotten to me. Anyway, I'm treating it as a bit of an experiment. There's no way it's going to hold as I'm off on holidays soon where it will be almost impossible to...
