stepped off the train this morning and your man who used to do the X-Factor voiceovers was booming over the station PA - "support National Poppy Day! buy a poppy from poppy sellers at this station!". I feel so oppressed by the poppies.

Get yourself a lily.

I open the window to let some of that fresh October air in and a big fly flies in

A nice hot toddy to get rid of the cold resulted in downing the whole bottle.

I don't feel well. And I still have a cold.

Finished an essay with 24 hours to spare then promptly forgot to submit it so losing 5%. Idiocy.

I did this minus the cold. Feel pretty ropey today.

I'm wondering how I can fit in some sleep before I go out tonight.
The figures aren't adding up.

1. There should a course that Irish people can take to become more proficient at using ATMs.
2. There should be a dedicated type of ATM just for spitting out cash. No menu choices, just key in pin, amount you want (still via keypad), hit <enter>, "press <enter> again to confirm" and out comes your cash. No dicking about with side-screen buttons.

as long as there a Gaelige version of these choices...

For curiosity, I'd love to know the stats on who presses that button.

I do it all the time. Why not?
Irish at home. Spanish here.

Gotta explore your options.

Those ATM's that don't check if it has 20's until after you ask for a multiple of 20. What the fuck is with them?

 

[7 - No tomorrow]

Don't most pubs do cash back now?

I'm assuming no one needs money for anything else.

My local steadfastly refuses to accept cards. I think it’s to keep out the creative types.

A lot of them don't like the charges that the card companies charge.

But I also like to think that they have an intricate tax dodge going on for years behind the scenes that they'd rather not get the computers involved in.

Quasi spurred on my initial rant, had this very same experience earlier, I asked for €80, it only had €50s so it presents a nice intimidating message along the lines of "The denomination you requested is not available, would you like to make another transaction?". Which inevitable slows things down as people have to read it and then cope with their indecisiveness of pressing either YES or NO and having to choose either €50, €100, etc yet the smaller denominations will still as valid preset withdrawal options! Banks - cater your ATM UI/UX to idiots.

There should be a row of cash icons on the ATM screensaver/homepage. If something is shaded out, it's out of stock.
