I'd maybe get a new charger. Just to be safe. Something seems off there.
Your chances of survival are about one in a thousand. So here's what you do. You forget the thousand, and you concentrate on the one

Before I input the charger into the phone, it sent chargey tingles down my ring finger. I will be sure not to come in contact with that metal part again, just touch the plastic.

It wasn't as bad as Sunday, but wasn't good. Took an hour and a half through security. One thing I noticed though, was everyone being almost over polite to the staff. It's like everyone's heard how they're getting treated by DAA and knows it's not their fault, and wanted to demonstrate it. I imagined they'd be getting a lot of hassle but, while I was there at least, it didn't seem like it
It's not an easy job during normal summer times, but the way it is now is mental.

I would hate to work in that place. The staff that are there should be cut a bit of slack for even turning up to work in that chaos. It wouldn't be me..

I don't really care if they take a parking spot or not, it's simply the fact that they're going the wrong way that annoys me. The amount of times I've gone down an aisle in the direction of the arrow only to have some idiot coming out of a space and head for me is unbelievable. Blanchardstown Town Centre is particularly bad for this, despite the place being full of bloody big arrows on the ground. I do make a point of never backing down and I'll happily wait until they turn around and go the right way.

They don't offer family concessions in this one is the problem so it's three tickets. 19 for an adult, 12.30 for each of the children then. Plus kids trays comes to 57

The odd time I'll go the weekend and pay full price.
But tbh, I always bring my own treats. Couldn't be paying those prices.
It's different if it were just me on my own maybe. But paying full price for the adults, and a few kiddo's, with food aswel, no way!
Sometimes I'll get the kids popcorn or nachos to share, but rarely buy drinks or treats in the cinema.

Or taking over two parking spots, just park in between the lines

I'd have stood there and waited for half the day until she took a dose of cop on and moved personally 😂😂

If you look at people parking in an area that has no markings they will automatically leave enough room so that their door can open fully without hitting the next car: that would be the ideal size for a parking space.I wonder if its a case of cars getting bigger, suvs everywhere now and the spaces in older carparks are no longer adequate? There must be a minimum parking space dimension that needs to be adhered to when marking out new carparks I'd imagine
The rows are too close together also, you often have to reverse and pull forward right up to parked cars several times before you can get out, it's no fun when there's other drivers waiting for you to hurry up and let them through. I don't know how people managed before parking sensors.
The planners want to squeeze as many spaces as possible into a new car park so my idea is just a pipe dream.
