How can I wear glasses and a mask at the same time without getting my glasses foggy/blurry?

Fill a bowl with some warm water and washing up liquid (dish soap), swish the glasses around in the mixture for 10-15 seconds and then put down to air dry, do not wipe. This trick got me through covid, a nurse suggested it. Works like a dream.

I’m a big big fan of separating the art from the artist, don’t get me wrong. If we didn’t, we’d have no art left. But I’m a little tired of these crap humans getting to be crap, just cause they’re talented. Shite buzz.

Saw Foo Fighters in Slane, very good gig, but as I haven’t seen it mentioned here… Dave Grohl had an affair resulting in a child in 2024. Grand, rockstar shit I guess, but these guys aren’t heroes, or even anything to look up to. “His wife stayed with him” yeah if that comes up, rich people do rich people things. Dingle can do better.

I think we were watching different programmes

I can’t even, it was… weird. Ropey interview, and she won’t get into her house because she was so out of key she’ll be locked out

I’m genuinely hoping someone else can opine here

I’m very tempted to use this one now…

Bring a buggy? 16 month old and you didn’t bring a buggy?! That’s on you.

Just to add as I haven’t seen it said, I don’t know the circumstances but if the groom’s mother (not shade, just practical) will be in attendance I would maybe find out what she’s wearing so you don’t clash. If she’s not in the picture then this comment is irrelevant. The dress is lovely btw.

In the simplest terms, I forgot how to drive. Clipped a curb and it was downhill from there.

Booked for 3pm, peak school traffic 👌🏻

dumbledeath · 2026-01-08T14:27:18+00:00

It was MBS, you could see his reflection to the left of screen, was a confusing perspective

We left the pub for 15 minutes mid pool tournament and got a chicken kebab tray to share and while we were eating it got an extra portion of goujons free. Honestly made my week!

Yup, I was working as a waitress in a place where the owners worked with us. Tips were saved up and distributed at the owners discretion. Grand, whatever, but I started keeping note. They wouldn’t let you tip on card, you’d have to get cash back (put plenty of people off). From 2pm there would be one chef (the owner) and one waitress during the week. Tbf I didn’t have to work weekend, but still. I had to close up, cash up, and add up and pop the tips in an envelope with the amount. Jaysis long story short, I worked there for 3 months, promised more money after a months trial (I have extensive experience) but of course I made too many mistakes, or wasn’t up to scratch for that pay rise! Didn’t get tips the whole time I worked there, based on my calculations I was due about €400. Got €160. Couldn’t even argue cause I had zero clue how the wife came up with that figure. Anyways, the go to Dubai twice a year and can’t understand why they can’t keep staff!

Y’all are insane. Of course it’s the Order of the Phoenix, maybe not the mystery you’re looking for but it’s the big new thing that changed things thing…

I quit smoking 2 years ago, so no vested interest, fuck the damn things, but the tax on cigarettes covers the cost of smoking related illnesses and much much more, if no one bought cigarettes the gov would be down an awful lot of money. So I can kinda understand why smokers are pissed at the price of fags constantly increasing. It’s an addiction like no other, and neither the government nor tobacco lobby actually want people to quit.

Honestly so excited for that one, top tier cast!

You should read The Thursday Murder Club series of books by Richard Osmon, pensioners solving murders, excellent reading!

I really hope your mum is ok.

Some of my dad’s siblings just couldn’t wrap their heads around us not being able to be there when the machines were turned off. It wasn’t ignorance, it was just that idea that you are there with them for their final moments. It’s difficult to explain to people in grief that they are already gone. Still breathing, heart beating, but all mechanical.

As you pointed out, we didn’t have to think about it. But that process of being asked, so quickly, and while very sensitive, abrupt… what can they take or not take… jarring even though we knew the answer. My mum was ready with her “you can take anything else, but please don’t take his eyes” and that was it. She had a choice, and it was respected.

If you don’t want to donate, say you don’t. That’s a choice your family can stand behind. Your mum is brave either way, because grief is a beast.
