I realised that this is often the case. When people have exams the weather tends to be quite lovely. So thank you both!:p (reaches for the door)
My flatmate has exams going as well. The poor fella was struggling a bit over the weekend and isn't a happy camper with sun shining either. He was a nervous wreck the last term and drove me bonkers. I'm trying to avoid that so he gets a hug daily and I make him tea/coffee when I'm around. I also found that feeding him helps

I wish i had a housemate like you, all i get on one side is noisy sex and loud phone calls until 2am as she is up all night when she is not working (works nights so her body clock is obviously backwards FUUUUU!!!!:mad:) and my other housemates girlfriend with her extremely loud voice laughing hysterically until at least 12pm when she is over!
Feel like kicking off but i guess that's part and parcel of living in share accommo! Sooner i get back to full time work and can move out the better!0 -

I feel his pain. I've gone on the pill for exams (mighty risk of those invigilators imprenating you from behind when you're bent over scribbling furiously) and have gone slightly insane. I only ever do the pill for exams though, so I dont know if its the exams or the hormones that make me crazy. Either way the odds are not in my favour. On the plus side the ethinylestradiol/drospirenone combination improves the hair, complexion and general femaleness so it makes you pretty - crazeeeeeeeee but purdy

I'm gonna be so happy when next doors painter finishes and fcuks off. Mr P is on nights and trying to sleep. The painter has a radio on really loud and half the freaking time he's not even out there
I think it's taking so long because he's pi*sing about. Musn't have a lot of work booked. I don't get it, there's only the front wall of the house left and he's been there since 9ish, surely he should be done by now. We'd a guy in to do ours before and it took him a day and a half. 0 -

The sort who have nice clean buses serving their route, where you get a glass of champers and a free newspaper, after being guided to a seat of your choice, and all the passengers smell of Chanel.:D instead of canal:eek:
I didn't know that there were any other types of buses. I've been taking the champers etc for granted. Now that is annoying me.

I wish I could afford 1st class all the time. We travelled 1st class return from York to London once. It was wonderful. The heat had caused problems on the tube on the return journey and I was hobbling on a crutch. We both felt frazzled beyond belief. But half an hour in 1st class solved that, didn't want to get off the train a couple of hours later when we got back to York. Air conditioning, reclining seats, proper cups and complimentary snacks. I wish I was rich:(I didn't know that there were any other types of buses. I've been taking the champers etc for granted. Now that is annoying me.

Sarcastic fcukers, met a mate in town -
Me: "What has you all dolled up, you're looking fine!"
Her: "I'm looking for a man obviously, I'm still looking..." *plunges knife deeper, and twist* :pac:
I'd say you would hate me
I've been told i have an extremely dry/sarcastic sense of humour! I don't really think so, i just like to point out the obvious to people in a roundabout way and to poke fun at them without necessarily insulting them.MRnotlob606 wrote: »when your with somebody and they just look on their phone rather than talk to you

You sound like Father Jessup, the sarcastic priest from Fr. Ted. (Love that episode btw).
Fr. Ted: Hello Fr. Jessup. Helping bishop Brennan then?
Fr. Jessup: No, I'm up in space doing important work for NASA.
Haha, I still think it's hilarious after seeing all the episodes 100+ times. :P0 -
So I bought a packet of bobbins Friday after misplacing the pack I bought the previous month, only to find them today!!! For fudge sake!!! I literally pulled the place apart looking for them god damn bobbins and was down to my last scraggly one, when I gave in and bought another pack. And then I accidentally stumble across the pack I lost today!!! TO-FECKING-DAY!!! I bought the new pack on Friday. :mad:
Ugh. :mad: Happens to me all the fecking time! I'm also an expert at 'hiding' things, the hiding spots are so good....I can't even find the stuff myself when I go looking for it......:mad:
You have a pùca too?
Just ask them nicely where they've hidden whatever you're looking for. They Will reappear it for you :-)
works for me every time.
they're just playing with you 0 -

Yes, I love that episode, especially when Ted explains to Mrs Doyle that whatever Fr. Jessup says, he means the opposite,..which works out fine...until Fr.Jessup needs Mrs Doyle's helpYou sound like Father Jessup, the sarcastic priest from Fr. Ted. (Love that episode btw).

Dodgy landlords. Spent most of last evening looking through emails and letters to/from the OH's friend and his LL, who is attempting to bully them into a rent increase mid lease. You want to see some of the stuff in the emails.
"eh...there's a .....problem with our bank this week, my hubby will drop over on saturday morning to collect the rent in cash a week early ok?"
"oh there's still a problem with the bank, we'll drop over later for the cash"
And now the latest, "um...things are bit tight since the downturn, we are gonna have to increase your rent by 150 a month, but keep paying your 900 each month and we'll call over and collect the 150 each month ourselves" - and this is midway through a lease. I could feel my hands itching reading the stuff. Some of the properties are reg'd, some are not and there are also o/s issues with the accomm. that have yet to be fixed. Reading the emails the tenants sent in their not so perfect English just makes me even more annoyed because I feel they are being totally taken advantage of
Also, when you put a spoon of coffee in a mug and then dont have time to actually add water and make coffee...but when you go back later, its a little bit wet anyway 0 -

The tenants situation is truly terrible and the landlord deserves to be strung up.
But the coffee thing is genuinely the end of the world. HATE that.:)0 -

Landlord is taking the pi*s. All properties have to be registered with the PRTB, by law. There is good info on their site and it's totally out of order. Has the landlord redrawn the lease or put anything in writing about adding additional 150 euro cash in hand to the rent? I seriously doubt it.OldNotWIse wrote: »Dodgy landlords.

Have a look at the PRTB website and call them if you need more info. I wouldn't give the landlord another cent and I'd be concerned about the fact that he doesn't want the bank to know he's getting the cash. The last thing your friends need is the property being repossessed by the bank and them losing their deposit. Might even be best to look for a new place to rent. Assuming they can even get their deposit back from the landlord if she's that strapped for cash.0 -

No, never happens to me.
A friend of mine has to answer calls, it doesn't matter if it's a night out, just the two of us out for a meal, or whatever. It's usually her husband, or a family member, I think they could probably wait. 0 -
