And like a real unwanted house guest, it comes back, everyone in work that had it 3 weeks ago, has it again, there's bloody tumbleweeds blowing around the place with the amount of missing people. Ive been lucky so far, had a mild dose of it before it mutated and got nasty, (just jinxed myself, haven't I)

Do you not have immunity to that strain once you've had it?

Idiots. They'll all be out with muck on their foreheads later too and sanctimoniously eating fish for dinner. What is it about Irish people and their a la carte approach to religion? Do it or don't, nobody cares but these shenanigans in the middle where they do some of it but ignore the rest? Ah would you all just feck off already.

Or the fact that alot of the time a quick google on their part would have found the answer quicker.

I find it funny how many posters use Boards as a slower version of google.

Went to the train station this morning, three people in wheelchairs were wheeled out the door, and left right across the doorway. Of course then you have simpletons who stand behind them and block it moreso. God what did I ever do that I'm forced to share oxygen with this sort on a daily basis

Morning Mrs B!
The Grumpy-o-meter is revving all the way up to 11 this morning!

Morning WM ! love the link ! TA at myself bought a lovely takeaway coffee and managed to spill half of it all over the walls and floor in work. I hate being so clumsy

qo2cj1dsne8y4k

On the train there's people standing while an aul one pretends to be asleep while keeping her bag next to her. What the **** is wrong with people?? It's the same generation that gives out about our generation. Get up ta ****.

It has indeed MsB, today is dirty forehead day, where people who wouldn't normally be seen inside a church get to feel better about themselves coming into work unwashed. I wash myself, I don't need a dirty forehead to prove I go to mass! :pac:

The flagellation whips in the stationery cupboard? Don't know anything about 'em, sorry...


<_<

ONJ Ah yes. I know the type well. Hypocritical sods. As for the whips you've gone all 50 Shades of Gray on me.

Snickering like Mutley here after reading that Ms B, more worrying that I actually get the reference after reading the FSOG trilogy I haven't been to see the film yet though from what I hear, there were indeed people slipping off their seats...

The cringe factor was that bad! :pac:

TA that I'm developing an old woman stomach at the ripe old age of 18

TA at myself for abandoning my diet since Christmas

TA that Pringles are so delicious

MsBubbles

OJE I haven't read the trilogy after hearing that one line I thought I can't read that muck.
I've heard from a couple of people the movie wasn't great. Jamie Doran does nothing for me

The only thing I took from that movie was she was hairy as ****. To quote Samantha from sex and the city "Jesus honey! Wax much? I could be on death row and not have that situation". I know, different strokes for different folks and all that, but I was actually fantasising about what wax I would use on her. Even her legs were hairy. She hadn't even trimmed. Nothing.

I'm getting a little TA'd waiting on some news, been waiting the past few days, I thought it wouldnt bother me but it is.

I'm also waiting for some pictures back from a photographer friend of mine. We got some family shots done and really interested to see how they came out. Not conventional family shots behind a cloudy blue background with cheesy smiles gathered around a vase.

Was this her character or just the actress? Like is it part of the movie or just an observation?

I know it's been said before, but it's so infuriating it warrants a second mention. Anne Hathaways "performance" of I dreamed a dream in Les Mis. Just....what? Talk about a cóck up. Over the top rubbish really. You'd swear she was the first ever woman to suffer ill faith. I hate her She looks like Sinead O'Connor crossed with a grapefruit. Or a gargoyle on a come down. Bring back Ruthie

I dunno ONW, I personally HATE body hair on me. I feel disgusting. I wax everything. Arms, legs, bikini, the back of my neck so I have a neat hairline. I thread my face, all those horrible blonde fluffy hairs that are on the sides of my face, upper lip. Two of my closest friends are beauty therapists so I get my waxing done for free and it doesn't get a chance to really grow back. I hate going getting intimate waxing and then them leaving a little bit. That's why I always have it done with Lycon. You use one wax to take all the hair that's visible and then another wax that takes blonde hair that is very short. No other wax will get such a perfect finish.

A bit of insulation for those cold winter nights alone I guess.:D

I'm glad I'm not a woman or I'd have to be waxed every other day.

OldNotWIse

On the plus side, there's not even a blush of the afternoon yet and we've managed to bring the conversation around (down?) to lady bits already. A TTTAY record?

I have an image of you being a female Barry Scott, going around with a waxing gun....

zzzzaaaapppp!!!

And the hair is GONE!!

Captain Chaos

Yeah, tis bad alright. Have just about manage to get rid of the morning glory and all:D

The sex scene from Scary Movie just popped into my head now too.

TA - my hair is so short that when I have it tied up, it only reaches to the nape of my neck and my layers at the front keep falling into my face. Also, the luckiest Man in ireland looked about grey hair causes and it seems bad diet (check) deficiency in b12 (check) and thyroid problems (check) all trigger a lack of melatonin in hair follicles which causes the hair to go grey. I tell Ya, not one bit of processed food will pass my lips today and on Monday I am going to let the nurse give me my b12 injection. Then hopefully that'll be the end of that and I can prevent any more of that nonsense

MsBubbles

Lexie I need to visit you for a wax.

Ms B, I will wax you anytime!

Growing old is becoming increasingly unappealing to me...

...but not half as unappealing as the alternative

Thread the face, skin too delicate to wax. Lycon wax for the blonde hair.

TA - this proposed new speed limit regulation. I am all for it. Reduce it down. People shouldn't need to be told not to speed through a residential area, but clearly they do. What's grinding my gears like nobodies business is parents claiming 100% of the blame lies with the motorist, that kids have every right to be unsupervised in a street, and to suggest the parents accept responsibility for kids is "victim blaming".

I'm in two minds about speed-ramps and pathologically low speed limits in residential areas. I think it encourages too much thinking about the speed limit and not enough proper observation of what's actually happening in a given place and time. Particularly in the case of speed-ramps they encourage a lot of speeding-up/slowing-down, finagling with gearshift, etc. But people love to Do Something, This is Something, therefore we must do This. :pac:

Regarding who's to blame, I don't think it's much use bickering over who's at fault and to what degree. Children will run wild, you can't watch them all the time. I should say it is required of Tank Commanders to watch carefully what's happening and what's in front of you, and drive always in such a way that you can pull up in time.

MsBubbles

TA at the drivers who speed through our estate. The kids are dynamite for running out into the road.
Drive Slower you tools.

TA at 50 Shades of Gray, Jamie Doran meh. Scott Eastwood there's a hottie

I just think parents need to accept some responsibility for the safety of their kids. And motorists need to drive carefully so as not to run over kids. But they're unpredictable, they can dart out at the very last second. And you're right when you say no use blaming anyone then. If a child is too small to understand, then don't let them onto the road.

And I don't know how parents expect to reach kids how to cross the road safely judging by the imbicles I see at the school I pass each morning. Two pedestrian crossings. You think they're used? Naw. Double park, grab the child's hand and run across the road in front of moving traffic and merging traffic. The love of my life is two. Obviously can't tell Her lefts from her rights, and I'm not her mammy but anytime I have her, we stop on the path, look out for cars, ask her if she sees a car, and then cross. We do it in carparks, in her estate. When she's in her buggy. I feel like an absolute simpleton standing there where there's no cars, but I'm hoping that if she ever does get outside without someone with her, that she'll at least remember to stop before darting across, which would give a driver an extra few seconds to see her and stop.

Things were simpler then. No-one driving those god awful SUV yokes that small children don't stand a chance against. Back then the risks mainly related to being hit by flying rusty chunks falling off cars passing you by, or being poked in the eye by a coat hanger aerial. :pac:

Damn straight. And don't talk to me about the obstruction those ridiculous, oversized 4x4 yokes present when one is directly in front of you on a narrow/suburban road, and when one of them is beside you at a junction turning right. And most of the stupid things have a bigger shíte-fit than the driver if they put a wheel into a puddle, off-road me hole! :pac:
