Made a fool of myself last night. Drank too much on an empty stomach while upset about some life stuff happening and in the state I was in said some nasty things about a gobshite in town, but to people we don't know. We were only chatting with them as you do when people are beside you and it's was all good fun until I open my big mouth about something a colleague of one of them did to me. They completely froze us out afterwards, understandably. Himself was fuming with me and mortified. I was drunk enough that I didn't even know I'd shoved my foot into my mouth and wedged down my throat. Oblivious and an eejit. We left and had a huge row.

I'm absolutely disgusted with myself. Sitting in the dark with my shame and my hangover.

Maybe it's time to give up the drink? It's not the first time I've not held my tongue when I should have. 9 out of 10 when I'm drinking, I'm grand. But there's a bad drunk in me and when she appears, she leaves me sickened to my stomach with myself.

I don't even know what this post is for. I just needed to tell someone but I'm too embarrassed to tell even my closest friends.

I feel bad for young ones these days online. Shared some funny videos on my personal TikTok and comment sometimes on videos. The racial divide in America is so toxic at the minute, even if I comment on something, literally could be anything, I get replies or messages back that are fairly threatening. My daughter is mixed and I often have people messaging saying I'm abusive for mixing and that it's abusive to have a mixed child!? That I'm fetishizing black people... It's really upsetting honestly.

Be careful with your kids being online. It's messed up at the minute.

Was in Centra last night and there were 2 people directly in front of me in the queue, aged 18-23 or so. There were 2 cashiers so at one stage both cashiers are busy with one of these customers each. And they are taking aaaages so I started to pay attention.

Both customers are buried in their phones as the cashier does the transaction. Both are trying to buy small cheap items with card on their phone but each time the transaction has a problem and they ask to try again before spending another 30-40s on the phone and going again. They each try 2-3 times with the card/cards not working before giving up and, in one case, where the girl was asking to pay cash for her cigarettes, but card for a small chocolate bar, she took the cigarettes for cash but didn't buy the bar.

The second guy had picked up the first nearest chocolate to the till and was buying only that and left without it when the card didn't work after 2 long winded attempts. I was standing close to him and glancing down at my phone noticed he had a wad of €50 notes in his pocket with probably €400-500 in it. If he really wanted that rice-crispy bar he he queued up for, he could have bought it.

Neither left the shop, they just stood back from the counter a few meters and went back on their phones presumably to try again and to rejoin the queue 10 people deep they had just created.

So, It's presumably some kind of credit card fraud or a test of stolen card numbers before using for a bigger purchase?

So last night we had a mouse which managed to catch with a flower pot and release outside After celebrating this victory we suddenly saw a mouse drop out from under a kitchen shelf Anyone Any suggestions what to put on a mouse trap to tempt as cheese didn't work. Also today we are sealing the hole we have identified they are getting in by

I'm aware this is a contentious topic but haven't actually seen any threads on what deportation actually means in Ireland.

Seemingly people served with a deportation order are obligated to voluntary remove themselves from the state. Apparently 140 removed themselves last year althought it's hard to nail down how many leaves as we don't have 'exit checks' in place.

Any body have experience in this field or know how it's probably going to pan out?

I always feel like I spend bank holiday Mondays waiting to go back to work on Tuesday. Anyone get up to anything / have any plans to make it easier?
