    I think (and I could be wrong) that the "skinny" is a reference to the effect they have on you. That they make you look skinnier by making the legs look longer and therefore narrower. In fact, I think that is why people (especially guys) who have super skinny legs look a little silly in them.

    And the arse of the jeans down to their knees, pull them the f**k up, ya little scruff, (I must be getting old)
    unless ya just mugged someone, then you cant run in them,

    Selous apparently the waistband of yer jeans at yer hoop comes from Us Prisons because belts are not provided to inmates. Dunno if it's true or not but would make sense

    They're my rape proof jeans. You practically need to oil yourself up to get into them, even harder to get off. I like the boyfriend style jeans much better.

    I'm having an MRI of my brain next Monday and am a bit worried about that for various reasons. On the plus side, I'm going to see about getting a Cheshire Cat tattoo on the scar tissue under my arm while I'm in Galway for the MRI.

    images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTU41gqtDZnUfqG9acSsudHriQHMoH33CvP1n__EVCNC0xPZQAcnA

    The tattoo would be a lot like this one but without words.:D

    Twice.
    In the head.
    Just to be sure.
    I usually have lunch early, and often have our small kitchen/canteen area to myself. I did this as usual today, was reading, and these two women sit at the table next to me. OK so far, except, they talk incessantly about the most inane bollox possible.
    Today's subject was porridge. A conversation went on for approx. 5 minutes about porridge. Right next to me.
    "Do you eat porridge in the morning?"
    " I do, I do my porridge in the microwave, do you do your porridge in the microwave?"
    "No I do my porridge in the saucepan, it makes it more [something]"
    "Oh, I love porridge from a saucepan, it's much nicer than porridge from the microwave"
    And so on.
    JESUS, shut up and stop saying porridge :mad: :pac:

    Does it ever happen to anyone else that they hear a word too many times in a short space of time and it loses all meaning? Porridge. Do I sit on it, do I wash myself with it, what is porridge?

    People buying a pup, putting no effort in for 6 years so they have an uncontrollable dog on their hands, then deciding to get rid of the dog because its an inconvenience and they can't be bothered to do anything to remedy the situation. I could weep about the mentality that a large portion of our poulation have towards dog ownership

    :eek:

    This!! I thought it was just me! I actually thought every time that happened I was having some kind of micro stroke because the words never really seem to come back. Sometimes I will say the word after and then think, "Oh God....is that a word?" :( I can't believe someone else has this too!

    YES! This was very much one of those occasions.
    Something similar that also annoys me, when people overuse your name, finishing every sentence with it. Is it just me or is it a bit weird?

    This is subtly insulting, as if they're making sure you won't think they're talking to someone over your shoulder, or at their Star Trek communicator, while they're looking directly at you while making those strange meat-flapping noises you humans use to communicate. On the exceedingly rare occasions when a condescending prick does that to me I have a very strong urge to take their head off with a roundhouse.

    If that is the recent thread on a dog chasing other animals, I bowed out of that one because I became fairly sure the owner just wanted the poor thing PTS and was working around to that the whole time. All that rubbish about the vet saying he should be euthanaised and he is a "hunter" etc. I don't believe any of it. It should have been called "Irresponsible owner seeks absolution for f.ucking up dog and then wanting him disposed of" :(

    TA 1: it's very windy and there's a shutter banging somewhere. It sounds like it's from my house, it must be. But I've checked all windows and doors and they're all shut tightly. It's driving me mad.

    TA 2: My hoover packed in, my house is filthy and I'm going to have to spend my fun-money on a hoover. (Sadly, I'm actually looking forward to a nice new one, can't wait to do a good clean. TA'd that I've been reduced to this!)

    TA 3: Found a nice hoover online, all ready to buy it when I realised that today's only the 24th and I don't get paid till tomorrow. (More than TA'd that after 20+ years of work I still have to wait till payday to buy stuff because I've no money in my account!)

    I am on the steroid cream for psoriasis. Itchy as fck if I dont use that cream a few times a week.

    When I was diagnosed I asked the doctor with hopefull puppy dog eyes "how long will it take this cream to cure the psoriasis"?
    "You will never be cured" was her abrupt and earth shattering answer. The horror. :(

    My missus thinks I'm mad, our hoover jacked in a while ago and I brought it back to the shop for replacement. I must have been in there comparing specs for about 40 minutes and getting the staff to run around to find manuals and harassing for discounts.

    I don't buy half of it. Suddenley there is a very serious illness mentioned which is dropped in to try to make anyone feel bad for saying anything negative. The poor dog and sadly there are many more in similar circumstances with muppet 'owners'. Doesn't have the 'energy' to erect a couple of baby gates :rolleyes: I don't know why people come on seeking advice when it is clear that they have already made up their minds what they are going to do. I'd imagine the only reason she posted was in the hope that someone would see the thread and offer to take the dog off her hands:mad:

    When you have to wait for a toilet cubicle to become free and you know the person who eventually comes out and you have to do a little awkward chat all the while knowing why you are both in there. And then you have to sit on a seat that has been warmed by their a*se.

    I want a duvet day. A day to myself where I can turn the heating up full and take to the couch with my duvet and watch an entire box set. I want a cooler box on the floor beside me filled with ice and two bottles of white wine. Viewing will only be interrupted to throw a pizza in the oven or fill up a plate with cheese and crackers. Doze off then at around 9pm. Bliss.

    ....requests 1 day annual leave... :P

    Me too, I feel my eyes glaze over when someone is giving me directions. After the first sentence all I hear is blah blah blah, yet I nod and agree as if I'm listening. A TA of mine is I still have trouble distinguishing left from right. I dread anyone asking me for directions. I will know right well where somewhere is, but I won't be able to tell you, and I have to look at my hands to see which is left or right to tell them which turn to take. I have to try remember when you hold up your left hand, your thumb and index finger make an L shape. I'd say I've made people wish they had never bothered asking me !
