In fact I have the opposite problem with butter during the Winter. You do not want to see what happened one day when I mis-timed it with the microwave and a half-pound of Kerrygold. :pac::pac::pac:

:mad: Why do people take their mutt out for a walk, bag up the dog crap, and throw the bag on the grass verge? Why? Who could be so fúcking inconsiderate and lazy that they think this is remotely okay?

People around my area broke their arses cleaning up the Dodder. We try to keep the place nice and do what we can for the area we all live in. Yet, there is some lazy fúcker who thinks it perfectly okay to throw his/her dog crap around for others to clear up. When I find out who you are, I'm gonna shove your lazy fúcking face in this heap of shíte you've created.



I watched this pile grow over two weeks. Every day, there'd be another bag added to it, sometimes two. It's the same type of bag and the same spot, so I reckon it's the same person. I've tried varying my walk/cycle to work times to catch her/him in the act but haven't yet. I've been on to the Council and they can do nothing unless they catch this tosser in the act. No sooner than it's all cleaned up, then the shít-bagger is back with the bags of crap and the pile begins again. Grrrrrrr.

Ps - if anyone else travels along the Dodder cycle path near Milltown, keep an eye out for this clown. The pile is always at the corner of that little footbridge at Bankside Cottages.

take a camera with you...

when i was coming home from hospital by their taxi, i was still nauseous so had one of those funny new sick bags with me. thick plastic tubes style. had to get the very understanding driver to stop, by a grass verge with sheep over the fence.

the driver wanted me to throw it in the verge...refused and drove the rest of the way clutching it

I was shaving last night and managed to drag a three blade razor across my finger nail, did not draw blood, but Christ, the sensation gave me a pain in my hair.

Even reading this gave me a pain in my nails. Up there with biting them below the nerve or when you pull it across too low down, as well as that electric shock when a piece of tin foil touches a filling or you chew the corner of a dry tea cloth and hear that dry squeak in your mouth :P

You need to do something about that letterbox!

Paperless billing Lynn, now all I get in my mailbox are postcards and letters from friends. I love to read about my friends adventures abroad; email, skype, etc are always so impersonal and disconnected. At least with a postcard or a letter I appreciate the person has sat down and taken time to write it

Off-topic but Lynn you're a bit of a legend really with all your wood chopping, wasp fighting, wrist breaking... and you're still only 70!!

Graces7, I too am over 70 and I have a phone alarm fob that I carry around my neck. Only used it once when I fell crossing a gate and broke a wrist and leg. Great device and easily available - community alert scheme arranged moine.

Getting nauseous reading all those posts about cuts, nails, bone fractures and WASPS!!

Someone give me a shout when it's over, please :pac:

Some peoples disgusting personal habits. I saw a guy this morning with either the worst smokers cough in the world or else it was a bad chest infection. I thought it was bad enough when he was spitting phlegm on the ground, but it got worse. He blew his nose on his hand a couple of times and after each blow he flicked the snot on the ground:eek::eek:

Especially when they flick, and the phlegm/snot (phlot?) does not leave the hand on the first flick, so it kinda elongates, and takes a few flick and then bounces on impact:D

Got stung in the same place last year, ballooned so much it looked like my knee was on back to front .

You're an inspiration Grace. I always enjoy your contributions here and your attitude in general.

If you get fed up here sometimes, there's another forum you might also like

But don't spend too long there, or you'll be missed here.

We were on hols a couple of years ago in Skiathos, and there were wasps everywhere, Mrs E was sprawled on a sunbed on the beach, and lets out an almighty roar, she was stung on the ass cheek, she is jumping and screaming, holding her ass, and for some reason, everyone is staring at me...............

I've never been bit by a spider (thankfully) but I used to live in a house where there were huge spiders. I hated that house as they would pop up everywhere.

When people say Sir Alex Ferguson in normal speech or informal writing/posts. I know he has the title and people are free to call him that, but I just dont like it used outside of the press, tv, BBC etc.

Also, people who spell Laois as Leix.

What do you use for internet connection? You can piggyback on that.

Seeing the same wasters every day, spending their days going from the bookies to the pub to the chipper. Blowing their unearned dole money. The same fools would never have been more than a mile away from home, and refer to some English football club as "we".

A cousin of the "RIP" on social networking sites, people who write "my condolences to the family" or "Rest in peace" in the comment section under a piece of sad news. Sorry but who exactly do you think you are that anyone is even going to see, never mind give a sh1t about what you write here. Twats.

Flies. 2 bluebottles have gotten in and I can't get the fcukers out. I can't swat them as I've a burst abcess under my arm, my husband is asleep and none of our 4 cats has the slightest interest in them.
