I spend my days studying for my bank exams, trying to play the piano and watching re-runs of Q.I. I love reading, eating cake and drinking tea.

@Postvox Didn't stop Amazon Prime delivering to me yesterday- meanwhile my An Post parcel is still in the abyss.

@maxbiddle98 @chrismccausland Even I knew about Chris's talk show, and I don't live in the UK or even have ITV. 😂

@potadohs @InnerDemons10 And they've done musical answer smash since then, so it was obviously a positive change that they found worked well!

@kevwgs @chrismccausland Ditto! Have already watched this twice on NOW. Hilarious and great fun, think it'll be one to watch every Christmas. 🎄

@Plink301 @storey_carolyn @chrismccausland @dbuzz6589 Strictly has trained dancers pitted against doctors/comedians/footballers. If it was a fair competition, everyone would start from a level playing field. Chris and Dianne are stars. 🌟 Some people are just jealous because if it was a popularity contest, they would come last. 😂

@dublinbusnews Any idea what is going on in North Strand/Fairview? All buses seem to be diverted? Thanks!

@ifatoucanyoucan What good is the rental income when the banks can only lend 3.5 times your wages?! Pulling an extra 50/60k from nowhere is more what I expect from a Dermot Bannon show. 😳

@TV_Fauteuil It's depressing. Those houses were dilapidated, expensive and isolated. 😐 #cheapirishhomes

Hi @lyons_tea - out of a box of 160 teabags, just over 40 were 'loose' tea! Great to have biodegradable bags, but a quarter of the box being made up of torn bags isn't ideal. The mess. :(

No 18.15 43 going to show up from stop 1184 this evening, so? @dublinbusnews

[Karen Murphy @karen_murphy]

@AustinJQuinlan @dublinbusnews @SimonHarrisTD @paulreiddublin They need to run more buses, not just an 'enhanced' Saturday schedule, or go back to 50% capacity. More passengers now, & all school years back- cannot get a bus at peak times. People complain if left waiting, but also if numbers are over- hard for drivers to win! @dublinbusnews

[Karen Murphy @karen_murphy]

@dublinbusnews Any idea why the 17.25 27b from stop 300 just didn't show up this evening?

[Karen Murphy @karen_murphy]

@tlc_uk Is this going to be shown again any time? I missed it back in Aug. 😭

[Karen Murphy @karen_murphy]

Donnycarney underwater this morning. ☹️ #StormCiara

@dublinbusnews 15 bus just refused to pull in and stop at bus stop 7578, Georges Street. Is the stop no longer in use? Is there a temporary stop? Several other buses letting people on, but 15 wouldn't open it's doors.

When is the 15% off Beauty promotion ending please?@DebenhamsIRE

@VirginMediaIE Ordered a multiroom box & new modem on Tuesday. Was told they would both be delivered Thursday. After getting someone to wait in all day, I have only received a modem (at 7pm!!) Where's my box??! Very unhappy.

[Karen Murphy @karen_murphy]

@talktoBOI 48 minutes on hold to get through to card fraud this evening. I know it's Sunday, but that is unreal. And pricey- all my credit was used up, so when BOI text me about suspicious transactions I couldn't even reply. Really, really bad service.

Looking at @TheBodyShopUK Advent Calendars. The 'Ultimate' advent calendar is £99 on the UK website and €180 in the ROI. Even taking into account the exchange rates, that is an almost €70 price difference for the SAME product. You'd fly the calendar home on Ryanair for less! 😮

@dublinbusnews The 42 just passed off stop 664 at 8.01 despite everybody waving at it to stop and the bus being half empty for a change. Does this route no longer serve Donnycarney or could he just not be bothered with passengers?
