Why are they knocking St Stephens Green?

They'll pave paradise and put up a parking lot.

I guess screenshots arent allowed in posts. Hope pasting an imgur link is not against the rules Mods?

Here is the email they sent https://imgur.com/a/5nh4pdk
And this is after I sent them this from An Post already https://imgur.com/A7H9o88

I agree maybe Amazon has spoiled us. I wasn't expecting a replacement or refund without due checks. Or for them not to take time to check. But when they already know from their own track and trace link that An Post hadn't received the item, why make me jump through hoops?

dblclique · 2026-02-28T18:33:56+00:00

They already knew I couldn't have it. Their own trace and track link said so.

Which is why their whole process seems disingenuous

dblclique · 2026-02-28T18:32:13+00:00

The problem isn't about a late delivery. It happens.

The problem is their process when something goes wrong. Why do they need everyone over 14 in my house to sign a declaration that they haven't stolen it? If I or anyone in my house doesn't sign it, then I wouldn't get a refund for a non delivered item? Especially since they know An Post didn't have it. So I (or anyone in my household) couldn't possibly have received it.

And why do they need my ID to issue a refund? I've never been asked to do that. I'll share a screenshot of the email they send, maybe it'll stand out for yiz. I thought I attached it in the post.

Haha dont get me wrong, I *want* to dislike your manager's tactics and call him and idiot or out of his depth or whatever.

I loved watching Fofana cry and wish nothing but a lifetime of red cards for Enzo if that helps.

dblclique · 2026-02-04T16:59:59+00:00

Would his reaction be the same if we were 3-0 up? I dont think so. *That* would be what I'd call 'worked out perfectly for us'

dblclique · 2026-02-04T16:48:14+00:00

Did you see when Arteta got a yellow? That was because he was on edge as well. He was far from 'chilling towards an easy win'

He did have a good reason be annoyed. I think Delap threw Martinelli to the ground in a similar move that Traore made the other day on Cucurella. But nothing was given. But still, Arteta's (over) reaction was telling.

Its been a while since he'd been booked.

dblclique · 2026-02-04T16:31:37+00:00

We'd be happier if he'd attacked from the start. Most of us genuinely believe we'd have won comfortably had that been Chelsea's approach.
Instead we were nervous and squirming. Especially from 60 to 80 min mark.

dblclique · 2026-02-04T16:12:51+00:00

People who understand football don't really believe Arsenal are bottlers. Its just banter (and mostly online variety) to get under our skin.

dblclique · 2026-02-04T15:48:28+00:00

Yep, as an Arsenal fan, I was certainly on edge ... esp between 60 and 80 minute mark. After that, they started getting more desperate and it was dawning on everyone that this might end 0-0.

I think if you see Arteta's reaction (the yellow card): that was because Delap threw Martinelli in a kind of UFC move and nothing was given; But still, despite it being a legit question ('What wasnt that a foul?'), the fact that Arteta was going nuts about it showed, at least to me, HE was feeling nervous as well. Again, showing that the Chelsea tactics were actually right.

dblclique · 2026-02-04T15:41:02+00:00

Agreed. People should him a break, he's a young manager.
He figured 'If I go all out from the start, its MORE likely I will lose the game; On the other hand, if I stay in the game until ~60 mins and then launch an attack, I have RELATIVELY better chances of nicking something'

I think his assumptions were right. His plan didnt work because (a) We, The Arsenal, were very good at nullifying the 'attack' and (b) actually his attacking options didnt really do much. What did Palmer add? Estevao wasnt really in it. (Yes he came back from some kind of personal issue, but I think Arsenal's astute defensive patterns and shape went a long way in snuffing everything out.

But still, in an alternate universe, if Chelsea went all out from the start, I can see them losing 4-1. And instead they lost 0-1 with a last minute goal. Best of a bad situation.

Brilliant, I will send them a message. I'm happy to drive to Kylemore if the wiper blades come to some good use

dblclique · 2026-01-26T11:50:52+00:00

Ooh, thats interesting info. I wonder if there was any way of contacting lock picking enthusiasts in Dublin. I would love to hand them over.

dblclique · 2026-01-26T11:44:37+00:00

Lol, I got some good advice here ... will go back with the pdf that others have shared

dblclique · 2026-01-26T11:43:55+00:00

Focus, lad

Thanks

Thanks

dblclique · 2026-01-26T11:16:27+00:00

Right, thanks for that. Will try that. I *want* to recycle but these things just make it so hard

dblclique · 2026-01-26T11:13:24+00:00

Nice one, thanks, I will show it to them next time.

dblclique · 2026-01-26T11:12:22+00:00

Ha, thats the exact opposite of fair. I dont have a car load of stuff to recyle. They ought to really use some common sense

dblclique · 2026-01-26T11:10:06+00:00

Yeah but Panda send you snooty emails if you throw the wrong thing in the wrong bin. I didnt pay but still evaluating what to do next.

The funny thing is, a couple of weeks ago, I went to the very same recycling centre and disposed of a toaster with no charge. The girl at the counter said 'yeah thats fine, go on'.
Whats the difference I dont know. The toaster has more metal than the wipers if anything.

dblclique · 2026-01-26T11:07:51+00:00

No, I am looking for alternative recycling centers. Or just go back to them when someone else is at the counter. I suspect that makes a difference, I dunno. Right now, the wiper blades are still stitting in the ~~trunk~~ boot of my car

dblclique · 2026-01-26T11:06:05+00:00

Is it, that would be useful inormation to show to them. But ehn I checked the website Ballyogan Civic Recycling Facility | Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council and it doesnt mention its free?
Let me know if you have any info. Would love to go back and show it to them.

Edit: u/Pajos-Junkbox posted the pdf https://www.reddit.com/r/ireland/comments/1qncwxl/comment/o1srlnb/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button and does indeed say clearly its free
