The met eireann weather forecast changing completely over the course of one day , and they never apologise for getting it wrong , happens all the time , it's trivially annoying because I don't rely on it and I'll check the BBC for a more reliable service , .....also that Cavan guy who does the forecast , has he ever done one that doesn't mention " But there is a possibility of scattered showers in the west " .... doom merchant .

I look at the Wunderground site, it's much more accurate.

BBC weather accurate? Ha!

So do I. Your industry must be particularly heavily male-dominated....is it the Vatican by any chance?

My annoyance for today is cyclists going through red lights. I was crossing the street with my kids at the green man, and this gobsh*te on a city bike nearly nailed us as we reached the far side of the road. I made a remark about a red light quite audibly so everyone in the vicinity knew he was an assh*le.
If I didn't have the kids, I probably would have been walking faster and he would have hit me.

if he does hit you, feign being blind in your left eye, so didnt see him coming. Double assh*le points for him

In my rambling Walter Mitty-esque thoughts, ideally I'd have clotheslined him

This freaking humidity is driving me nuts. I've hardly slept this week and putting the fan on only means it's too noisy to sleep. So I can leave the fan off and lay awake sweltering in the humidity or turn the fan on and lay awake in the noisy cool air. Not really a great set of options.

Ever use earbuds? As a shift worker I couldn't function without them.

Yep, I wear them every Friday and Saturday night, we have neighbours who like to bring friends home in the early hours after the clubs close. The thing about ear plugs is that they are great at blocking out some noises but other types of noise just seeps through.

Itchy eye. When you have a mascara and the whole lot on. I can't rub it, I'd look like a panda :mad:

That's right. AIX memory-management, for example, is very strict about enforcing this. You don't want a badger in the airbox mate, oh no you ruddy-well don't!! :cool:

I was washing my hair this morning and the texture felt weird, so when I checked the bottle I realised I'd washed it with conditioner, had to start all over again.

Damn mosquitoes, just back from Malta and have been eaten alive. I can't get away from all the blood sucking pests, they just love me. First midges, then mosquitoes, would they ever just fcuk off?

Edit: And cockroaches, they are nasty little fcukers! Seen my first one last Thursday, ewwy!

Perhaps switch your shampoo? They used to swarm me when I used a fruity one.

I was in a place before that decided to spray the sewers and drains for roaches without telling us...all windows open...tens of startled/half dying cockroaches came in. Gross.
