In an high density estate near me is a car with a corny bumper sticker on the rear bumper. It has a pathetic typo. Equally bad is the probable Irish-American source of the thing. Some might find the leprechaun image offensive, I think it’s pathetic.
Rippened (sic) tomatoes
I wonder how many of these stickers Tesco has already printed and how long it will be before a corrected version appears. That’s if they answer my email.
The wheel was a fantastic invention, makes moving stuff around really easy.
The wheelie bin was a nice follow-on, making it easy for citizens to move their overflowing bins to the side of the road. It also makes it easy for the binmen Waste Management operatives to bring the bin to the truck where a mechanical arm lifts and empties the bin.
The binman’s operative’s heart rate is still close to resting rate. This is all quite the opposite of the times gone by when coalmen and binmen (they weren’t “operatives” back then) hauled heavy loads on their back.
Since things are so much easier now, why they hell can’t the lads (I’ve never seen a woman do the job) put the bins back where they found them? I’ve repeatedly asked Fingal’s Waste Management Department to ask the lads to return the bins to the path. Weren’t these people brought up to leave the place as they found it? It’s not as if the empty bins are heavy.
I phoned in and an Indian take away order from Let’s Eat In over the weekend. Mmm, their Dal Makhani dish (black beans in a dark creamy sauce) is excellent.
The take away came with a copy of their new menu – without Dal Makhani! I went online to investigate. I was met with a horrible fixed font – Courier New. And, three nice typos:
We are not taking online order for Blanchardstown branch untill next week.
Sorry for inconvinience
Maybe that’s the phonetical spelling for people in Blanch. BTW, the correct spellings are orders, until and (the) inconvenience.
Monday afternoon: “Our valued customers from Blanchardstown can order online now.”
Riverdance Must End
This morning I got my car NCT'd (and passed). On the inside of the door of the men's toilet was a conspiracy theory about NCT failures and the state of Irish roads.
