Re: Shitting It

Years ago I attended a clinic in Polish clinic stoneybatter, it was in a shopping mall with a Tesco larger than a Tesco metro or express but not as big as Tesco Rathmines. Can't remember the name. Slightly cheaper then. The female Doctor I attended specialised in gut ailments. I'm sure the language ...

Re: Annoyances & Irritations

Irrittationion

Went into Deals to buy funki USB to USB C cable.

Had to settle for a Kodak USB to USB C one instead, cost the same €5

Would still have preferred funki brand though, they're thicker than kodak

Kodak is definitely not a brand I associate with USB cables.
