    Total anti-climax, really expected that to turn into a thread of pure unadulterated hatred.

    Instead its like a few pansies flapping at each other over the last vodka martini at charity event.

    Did you hear the joke about the old women smoking??

    2 old women outside bingo having a smoke. One whips out a condom and puts a hole in the end of it and puts it over her fag. The other woman asks what it is. She tells her its a condom and its great for keeping her fag dry. Tells her to get them in the chemist.

    2nd old woman goes to the chemist the next day and asks the guy serving her for some condoms. He asks if she has any particular preference. She says "as long as it fits on a camel, i don't mind..."
    Shop attendant faints...



    Jesus that took a lot of typing............

    Work in computers too - I suppose I am a software consultant technicaly, but i wouldn't say my job is that advanced, to be really called a consultant. I check peoples systems are setup correctly, make recommendations if they are not and try to solve customer problems through specific message 2 weeks out of 6.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,722 ✭✭✭ibh


    I'm getting ready to hand in my notice tomorrow.. Got offered a job today. Still means working in Northern Ireland unfortunately. Can't get anything in Dublin. Of course as soon as i'm ready to leave this sh1thole work starts getting more interesting. But it doesn't disguise the fact that I hate this job more than I ever thought possible. No more 100mile round trip driving every day. Bring on the 100 mile round trip by train!!

    Pro's of current job: Access to Boards all day, listen to youtube playlist all day
    Con's of current job: Everything else.

    Oh yea, I'm a Mechanical Engineer by day, bad amatuer footballer at the weekends and Dundalk FC fan 24/7........... Haven't heard any of those adverts recently..

    Yeah imagine that in the interview.

    Interviewer: Do you have any questions for us?
    DesF: Just one, do you provide access to boards.ie and can I sit on it all day.
    Interviewer; Eh, no!
    DesF: Well screw you then.

    Seen the Sex and the City movie yet, after the Elton John gig.....
    A text was read out on Newstalk this morning a guy is at the food counter in the cinema going to see said movie and all he can see is Hairstyles and Hairdressers and the smell of perfume was overwhelming so he went back and changed the tickets to Ironman, she wasn't impressed when they sat down to watch the movie!
