stupid car decides it doesn't like oil any more and is spilling it out all over the place

I can't finish my book. Not just yet. It had me bawling my eyes out last night, my OH had to cuddle me for ages. I actually have it hiddden under my bed. There are still 4 chapters left!

I suppose I'm TA'd with brilliant writers that make you fall in love with their characters and then break your heart when they go through awful pain. It's like being slapped in the face with humanity.

I read that...........

I feel your pain
You doing road running?
I had to swap to running on grass to lessen the impact.
I'll probably increase cycling also as my knees are banjaxed!

Did you like it? The dots at the end of your statement make me think no. Or that there's a very sad ending.

Bored the life out of me, I thought it was rubbish. They all die in the end and the Germans win the war.

The only sad thing about it, is the fact that I paid money for it.

I didn't enjoy it either, one of those books that is way over hyped, in my opinion.

I'd gladly give you mine, but it is long gone to a charity shop.

Sadly my post was a joke that no one got.
"The Book thief" -"My copy went missing"...queue everyone rolling in the aisles laughing....

I have no emotions when it comes to movies. I didnt cry at the notebook or any of those other rubbish movies. But I bawled at bambi. I cried so much at bambi I couldn't even watch the end of it. It's the only film that made me cry.

MsBubbles

Lexie I had to stop watching films with sad endings cos I used to be inconsolable for hours afterwards.
I think I'm descended from the professional mourners that used to attend wakes in 1700's

Ah, I see the problem. it's simple. You are a man.
We have no emotions, and we never cry, especially not
over a film.;)

Have you got it checked out yet? I've had awful problems with my knee all my life, finally got it sorted a few years back and havent looked back.

The only complaint is that I get a bit of arthrithis when the cold weather is coming in.

Been going to physio for the past week but the soreness in my knee at acting up again. It was fine all weekend. the problem is the tracking in my leg is off so its giving me pain then in the knee.

Just have to be patience

It's a good book, but if it makes you upset then don't, whatever you do, watch Night will Fall.:(

When you speak to someone and think youve made progress and sorted it out, and have that person arrive almost 15 mins to work with a coffee that she clearly had time to stop off for.

Sunday evening, driving towards home at 17.45.

It's dark, and heavyish fog. I have full lights on, plus front and rear fogs.

Not only are some people driving without foglights, some are driving without ANY fcuking lights!!

If most other people are driving with lights & foglights on, there is a very strong chance it is required..

When I buy the odd snack just for myself, someone opens it and helps themselves to it...

RAGE!!!!

Saliva build up at night when I'm trying to get to sleep, I have to keep spitting it out as I get a gastric stomach, what causes this and how can I ease it, frustrating.

I'm pretty sure there's a line in the constitution that says you're allowed to shoot those people directly in the temple, no questions asked.

Took someone with me shopping in town today, it was her first time in limerick! You'd swear I'd just brought her into the middle of a halting site the way she acted!!! She kept clutching her bag and saying she thought she would be robbed!! Ffs! Who acts like that?!!!

When I go to get a cup of water from the cooler / dispenser in the office, I pull one cup from the bottom of the stack and 3 of its friends come along for the ride.

It might not specifically be the knee - pain from pretty much anywhere in the posterior chain can be referred there. Strengthening your core, glutes and hamstrings is helpful for the vast majority of runners - if you can find a pilates class taught by a physio that would really help too.

She said my glutes are the problem, they're weak enough. I was thinking about pilates alright. Will look into classes next week.

Well, each to his/her own. I think it's brilliant. That's the bit I'm dreading reading! I get way too involved in books and attached to characters.

It somehow feels like people are making a bigger deal of Valentines Day than they did in previous years and it's TA. Love-themed stuff everywhere, and apparently all women are supposed to buy a new dress for the day (has to be red or heart-patterned I think). They even do Valentines activities in work this year, wtf?! I always liked going out for a nice meal with my OH on Valentines Day, but I think we'll stay at home this year.

I read a book once where that happened, called "SS GB" by Len Deighton. It contained the immortal line from the new Police Commissioner, one Gruppenführer Fritz Kellerman: "In Germany we call a spade a spade, and the political police are called political police. Here you call your political police the Special Branch, because you English are not so direct in these matters."

Further trivial annoyances :

Buttonholes that are too small for the buttons - I love my new cardigan but opening and closing it is frustrating as fcuck. Not helped by the nail on chalkboard feeling I get when my nails scrape the wool. I might just keep it closed and put it on over my head.

Mouthwash that is too foamy - gargled with the stuff this morning and got it all over my chin and a drop went in my eye.

People who speak too quietly - and then repeat themselves in the same tone when not heard the first time.

People who call when they don't get an instant reply to a text - rude!!

Still craving cigarettes - could kill.

Yes, this is my TA ay the moment also, the whole 'here are ideas of you haven't already got your dress for Valentines yet". WTactualF?!

I used to be besties with this treacherous bitch from like 12 up til 21. My favourite girls name is Olivia. If I were ever to have a girl I would name her Olivia. I don't care if it's an old person name, I love it. Always have. It's even my confirmation name. Bitchface knew this, everyone I know knows this.
She had a baby girl on Saturday. What did she call the baby? She called the baby Olivia. i am so annoyed

Yes, I've heard tell of girls a-feudin' by naming babies at each other. Very odd. Oh the Hatfields and the McCoys, they were reckless mountain boys... :pac:

I also for this reason will never tell anyone baby names I like.

Facebook is annoying me at the moment as well. I keep getting notifications when it's somebody's birthday. Usually when I've already wished them a happy birthday.
Also, when I comment on a photo on Facebook I then get a notification every time someone else has left a comment. Having to click the little arrow and turn off notifications every time is tedious. I still get the notifications when I turn them off.
The " woo it's Friday " and " boo it's Monday " posts everyone seems to put up every fcuckin week are irritating as well.

Getting a piece of egg shell in my mouth accidentally when eating a boiled egg - yuck! Horrible sensation against your teeth!!

MsBubbles

TA my posts keep disappearing Rosie you're doing brilliantly.The cravings will ease. I quit the fags 6 years ago and it was the hardest thing I've done but it's so worthwhile.


Lexie you are better off with that name stealing cow out of your life. sounds to me like a case of jealous bhatch.
