Usually auld fellas in the their 50ā€™s who are grudgingly using technology. They try to mask their lack of skills with brute ignorance.

My kids gave me a United Jersey for my birthday. Iā€™ll wear it happily while out with them.

Check your mails

The missus regularly sends me an email with the subject ā€œcan you print off this label please. Donā€™t forget!!!ā€ and no content in it. Just the label to return 299 of the 300 dresses she ordered from Zara this week attached

Nothing wrong with that youā€™d say

Bumped into a friend earlier out doing a bit of shopping. Had his little girl with him and getting her shoes. Tip away says I and Iā€™ll catch you later for a socially distant coffee as the kids read magazines.

Catch up later and heā€™s a head on him like thunder. Poor girl got caught a bit short, and despite practically begging 4 shops to allow him use the facilities, they all said no, it was health and safety policy.

Now I can understand the policy, weā€™re all in this together, etc, but when thereā€™s a 4 year old girl hopping on the spot, in tears trying to hold back her wee, where is the health and safety really? How much damage is she going to really do in your toilet? Do you really reckon sheā€™s patient zero? Is there no human compassion?

In the end, my bucko took her out in the car park and pulled open the door of the car for a bit of shelter and told her to let rip. If ever a man needed a pint, it was this chap by the time it was all over.

Or else self important arseholes that are too busy to send a proper email. They might sign off (in the subject line) with ā€œtksā€ and their first name initial. Very, very big deals being done and precious time being saved.

Thatā€™s exactly the character here. Doesnā€™t work in the same company but have had plenty of dealings with him. He was a big wheel at the cracker factory.

My original post was more of a subtle pop at auld lads in their 50s who struggle with technology ( i.e. @balbec )

Or sign off the email in the subject with EOM

I always reply and ask what does EOM mean and then they have to reply with a proper email message.

Thatā€™s a bloody disgrace , especially with a kid that canā€™t hold it in

Lads are terrified to take a wrong step, paralysed. Its why its time to get out and about again. Time to get living before its too late.

Itā€™ll move on in time. Buts its time to start moving the wheel again.

Needs to as mentally folk are suffering, mortgages and car loans , worry ref leaving certificate etc

Our landline 40 yearā€™s ago had my manā€™s ( referee) whistle next to it, as she was getting silly stuff regularly

The same Craic in the hospitals at present.
Had the little one back in the cleft clinic (they thought she was tongue tied ) and all in all no toilets open one parent only allowed with the child and face masks are compulsory.

We arrived in temple street to find socially distant seating arrangements in the waiting room.

However me and the daughter were the only ones wearing masks all other outpatients happily sitting there no protection.

Same think out in the lane of the hospital parents standing guard whilst their child urinated.

Itā€™s a joke

Bred in captivity thank God, can you imagine taking one of them from the wild for that?
Thereā€™s been an eagle there since the beginning in the early 80s, always sat uneasily with me, Iā€™d never loiter down there. In general the animals appear to have more space than in other zoos

In fairness youā€™d expect a Cork Zoo to have the best cages.
