Can someone translate from "inner city Dub" to English please?

sorry about dat caller

in trying to bring some amusement to ye proceedings, translating us post into "inner city Dub" was considered 'paramount' , by ye 'executive committee' in me noggin

Every couple of months I get a letter in the door with a golden harp ( I take it this means from Dail Eireann ) from some government muppet TD of various political persuasion, with a glossy brochure listing the great work they have carried out. This sort of stuff should be banned as it must be costing the tax payer a fortune each year producing this rubbish. Straight in the green bin. Cowboys.

There are really annoying ads being crowbared into my podcasts.

[Enoch Von Clausewitz]

YouTube and their "volume level" warnings they issue from time to time, when am listening to a few choons on me dog and bone

that's annoying, but whattyagonnado? elf and safety is paramount nowadays, so i can live with them annoying warnings, even if i can't turn up the volume as high as i'd like - well for a few seconds anyway/maybe a minute

it's the hypocrisy that gets me: could be listening to a few mellow choons from likes of Mitchell/Elkie brooks, and then, out of nowhere, an annoying LOUD AS FUQ ad, that's prolly higher in decibelerage than anything i'd be previously listening to and gotten a 'Volume Level' warning about, comes on

Nope, as long as there's deodorant or razors or Dave's motivational course to be flogged, and coin to be made by the hosting platform, then not a fukk could YouTube give about me poor battered eardrums

One blocked nostril

One blocked nostril

Here's an interesting thing (or maybe it's not interesting to most )...

In a healthy pattern our nostrils change dominance every 90 - 120 minutes or so. There's a brief period of crossover when both nostrils flow.

When health is challenged there can be an alteration in the normal changing pattern, where one or other nostril becomes persistently dominant.

I use this technique for migraine. If I catch it early enough I check which nostril is dominant. Then this is the method...
Insert hand under armpit that is opposite to the nostril that is blocked. Do this with open hand, palm facing in towards armpit, fingers under arm and thumb outside facing up to shoulder. Your arm is across your chest. Now lie down on the same side as the hand armpit arrangement. Your blocked nostril is now uppermost. Wait at least ten minutes. The nostril may unblock.
I have stopped headaches this way. Worth a try. You can do it if there's no headache, but to see if it will unblock a stuffed up nostril.

Gosh this took longer to explain than I hoped and sounds a lot weirder than I feared it would. Ah well.

[CelticRambler]

... sounds a lot weirder than I feared it would.

Yep!

Yep!

Here's the crazy thing - I deleted most of the real weirdness

I was using the self service check out in Super Valu today. Had paid for my items and was packing them when a lady came along and began scanning her items in. WTF. Could she not have just given me an extra 30 seconds to pack my stuff

Same experience happened me at a cashier counter level 3 the square tallaght.few weeks ago.
Waiting to pay for my meal, older lady who hadn't yet ordered comes up right beside me to get attention of cashier who I am paying.

Tesco last week - long queue for the self service tills.

Some are card only so as I go to one - this absolute bitch goes and closes two of them, with no warning. As I’m standing by one!!

This means that as the three people behind me go to the cash or card ones and I have to wait.

I complained and said bitch goes “it’s easier for us not to have too many open”.

Just go fck yourself !!!

I'd have just walked out and if stopped, explain I was about to checkout and the staff closed the checkout. I assumed then I could just go.

Some arse on the South Link in Cork this morning who stamped on the brake pedal good and hard when I was behind him. There was nothing in front of him to make him brake hard.

I went from 85/90kph down to about 55kph....
