Went to the shop up the road from me at lunch time and noticed the barbers next door had their door open and no q Walked straight in and got my first (decent) hair cut in 4 months. In and out in less than 10 mins Feel reborn. I'll never take a properly used 2 blade on the back and sides for granted again

I’m a petty, grumpy unsociable cunt. I’ve no problem saying it. I live in Rosslare which is full of tourists and our next door neighbour has a holiday home beside me. He is a cunt and so is his wife. Last year I’d a fallen out with him and his wife over my dog, he was barking a small bit, cause the stupid fucker decided to stand over the fence and shout at him. The dog is a German shepherd so it’s in his genes to protect its area. Anyway we had a argument and I told him and his wife to fuck of home and that they were moaning about everyone’s dog which they were. They arrived back down last week having not been here since last year . He gave the missus a dirty look and made a smart comment towards her during the week. So Sunday comes, and they are having a big family dinner out the back and have just sat down. The weather is savage and the bottles of wine have just been opened. So out I come over with the petrol lawnmover and decide to take my time cutting the back garden. I cut It twice I was enjoying it that much. Then I thought I would power wash the fences too, as there was moss growing on them, meaning water was going everywhere , and the nice family dinner had to go inside because of the noise and the water. Petty I know, but fuck the old cunt....
Back playing Astro last two weeks. With young ones hadn’t really got out much in six months before the lockdown. Determined to play every week now and you can see everyone is really enjoying simple things like being able to play a game of ball again. Most of the lads I play with now are 40+ and like exuberant young kids running about like it’s a Cup Final. Absolutely in bits today though.
Been about 15 years since I've done any regular exercise so I hit the treadmill in the gym to try and get fit. I knew I was overdoing it when after 2 weeks I started pissing blood. The wife was delighted that I'd finally got my period. Obviously this was a little victory for her, not me.
My poor mother rang me from the house phone earlier on and I missed the call, I got a voicemail and my heart sank because it's never good news from my house if I'm getting a voicemail, anyway thankfully it turns out it was only that the mother had lost her phone and was in an awful state about it, a few bank cards stored in the phone case too for good measure. She couldn't find it at all on her iPad on the find my phone thing but was able to give me her Google logon so I could go to it on the laptop and set a message on the phone to ring my phone and then set the phone on 5 minutes of loud ringing and hope for the best. I could see that someone had turned off the ringtone after 3 minutes and had a call a few minutes later to tell me the phone was heard by a customer getting a trolley in Tesco and it had obviously fallen onto the ground when she was putting the trolley back after her shopping. I rang the poor mother back and it's like Christmas has come early for her. She thinks I'm some sort of special phone detective that was able to hack into her phone or something to sort it out so god only knows what she'll be telling people but it was a great win on an otherwise dull enough Friday.
That's great news that your mother got her phone back, could you elaborate a bit more on this bit please mate, wasn't aware of this feature, might come in handy for someone in a similar position in future?
It's unbelievably straightforward (for Android anyway if it's signed into a Google account) so hopefully helps someone else out if they're ever in a jam. Type find my phone into Google and it will bring up the below screen with the map while it's searching for the phone. Click anywhere on the map and it opens the second screen. Click on the "Secure Device" option and it will bring up the third screen where it allows you to enter a message and a phone number which will display on the missing phone. Then go back to the second screen and select "Play Sound" and it will make the phone ring (I believe on full volume) regardless of whether the phone is on silent or not.
A few years ago one of the lads from work lost his phone on way to work cycling. Anyway I asked if he has location services on. Long story short, after checked out his google account, he was able to track it. What most likely Happened Was his phone was visible at the pocket of his backpack. Someone lifted it out of it at traffic lights as he had stopped it for red light in cycle Lane. You could see that they had walked into a nearby school About 400 metres away. When he rang the school and said he was getting the Garda involved, the principal put a notice over The intercom. The phone was handed into the reception of the school within 10 minutes and he collected it before 11am.
My missus had her phone robbed from Dunnes in North Earl St years ago. The alleged thief answered it after a while and gave the address, she said she found it on the bus, I have always assumed it was with her intention of trying to blag money from her for being so kind as to hand it back or maybe something more sinister. Anyway she turns up to collect it with the 6.6" Russian security guard and your one hands it over without saying a word.
At the outset of lockdown in March, my wife maintained that neat spirits would kill the virus in your throat. So as a precaution I was encouraged to have a little neat whiskey ounce or twice a week. To 'celebrate' our move to Level 5 my wife bought me a bottle of Yellow Spot Irish Whiskey, which I'm really looking forward too. Hard to believe I'm a hero at home, drinking 12 year old whiskey from the household budget.
Xmas gifts bought and wrapped weeks ago. I'm a procrastinator extraordinaire who usually finishes my shopping with days to spare and wraps everything on xmas eve so it's nice to have coasted to Christmas the past few weeks.
Got a couple of Santa presents and decided to build them yesterday. About an hour I thought, about 3/4 hours in the end. Would have been some craic taking into them at 10 tonight.
