It was the 12 pubs of Christmas in our town tonight. Just stuck to one pub myself. My TA is the place was full of what looked like 12 yr olds. I kept seeing kids my eldest went to school with, drinking pints. I felt so feckin old

Wetwipe it - it'll be grand! It's dark out anyway
My TA also involves clothes for going out. I'm 4 months pregnant and at that annoying stage where people looking at me wouldn't be sure whether I am fat or pregnant so everything I've put in to got out looks ridiculous. I might just sit down all night!
People that keep using text speak in posts.. Ds, TA or whatever.. Your not on facebook now.
Your not going to get your post thanked if we dont have a clue what you are on about...0 -

On the bus home yesterday some bint was gossiping loudly on her phone about some young person from the community who had committed suicide during the week. Absolutely tragic and I can't begin to imagine what the persons family are going through. To listen to her it was the best bit of gossip she's heard all year. I couldn't help wondering what impact it would have on someone who was related to the deceased or friends with them, who was on that bus listening to the bitch gossiping away about it.
She's probably the type that would have RIP plastered all over her FB profile, and a recording of herself doing a eulogy that she could put up on YouTube 0 -

I would have thought TA would be fairly self explanatory after 30,000 posts of Trivial Annoyances 0 -

Like smarty-pants grammar nazi's that don't stop to ask themselves if the poster might be dyslexic and not have an auto correct on their mobile..
I'm no fan of spelling and grammar pedants, but being dyslexic is no excuse for careless spelling errors. Any phone manufactured in the last ten years has predictive text capabilities and a built-in dictionary, and with the development of modern smartphones, there are numerous TTS apps available on all platforms for people with reading and writing difficulties -

It's one of the reasons why I bought a Windows Phone (despite the sniggers of the apple chaps), because they have the most seamless integration of accessiblity features across all devices for a person with dyslexia (I can dictate this post without my fingers ever touching the screen on my phone!).dubscottie wrote: »Yes.. And not having auto correct has not been an issue till now.. Nor is hand writing stuff in capital letters been an issue at work.. Because I am good at my job(s)..
Brainy as **** just never got the spelling or small/big letters thing right..
Nobody was questioning your work practices though (and capitalisation and mirror writing haven't been an issue for me since I left secondary school), they were only having a joke, and granted while you may not be familiar with the abbreviations used in the thread, that's fine, but it's no reason to use dyslexia as an excuse for careless spelling errors.
We often make jokes around here about posters careless spelling errors and nobody takes it seriously. That's why this is one of my favourite threads on Boards - it's for TRIVIAL things that annoy, because dog knows there's enough serious shìte talk goes on around here! I know well of course that sometimes it can be difficult for a person with dyslexia to understand context, but before you go jumping down people's throats' and getting all high horsey about stuff, maybe just take a minute yourself to understand that it's only natural that someone who doesn't have dyslexia isn't always going to be conscious of someone who does, that's just human nature.Wabbit Ears wrote: »Using dyslexia as an excuse for being useless at writing good.
Bang no!

Being facebook friends with the local spca. A dog escaped from being surrendered to the pound almost two weeks ago and nobody can catch her and she's still by herself and hungry and they're saying her leg is hurt. My emotions are all over the place, and then seeing that too, well it's like morbid curiosity, I can't help myself reading it and then I'm really upset thinking about her being hurt hungry and alone for Christmas. I'm annoyed she was being surrended. I'm annoyed she's so nervous and frightened that she won't let anyone near her. And then I'm sad thinking about the dogs who won't have santa on christmas, who won't have nice meat for their Christmas dinner, and that will be locked in cages in pounds all over Christmas. While spoilt indulged brats will get puppies, so many puppies who'll be dumped too when they don't stay tiny or when they chew up something or when they poop inside or when they won't want to take care of it anymore.
So many unloved dogs. And my little baby was being looked after this weekend as we had something on over the weekend, and he hurt his eye. His poor little eye. I've been an emotional wreck since. I called the vet last night, and he had to get an injection I cried when he got his injection, I cried when I had to put his eyedrops in, and I feel like the worst dog mammy in the world. 0 -

Eugh. One of the many reasons I hate people. They are so greedy and selfish and self-absorbed and unwilling to be accountable for their actions.0 -

Stupid department stores. Couldn't get a particular size yesterday so the kind lady in the shop wrote down the code of the item onto an enquiry card and told me I could call some other stores to see if they had it in stock. I called one of them just now and instead of inputting the code onto a central system to see if the item was in stock, she demanded I give her a description of the item and took off running around the store to try to find it herself. Wtf like? What is the point having a fancy code system if the shop assistant has to go running off to check things on the floor based on a verbal description? And then she comes back and says, "no we have no black trousers at all". Really? In the entire store? You have absolutely no black trousers? Was there a run on them last minute? It's not a f.cuking Elsa doll I'm looking for you know... 0

I don't know why I do it but if I'm going to vomit, I always start crying. And I'm not usually an emotional person. So for the past few weeks, I've just been a wreck. And the only person I ever want around me when I'm sick is my dad. From when I was little, it was always him that minded me and made me feel better. And at the ripe old age of 26, youd think I'd be over it but nope. Which makes me cry more.
Can't wait til this passes so I can brush off my feelings again and continue on not giving a **** about anything
I don't think you ever really get over losing a parent, and the need to have them comfort us when we are sick is always with us. I still feel it and I am 5 years older than you! Feel better soon 0 -

Which reminds me of another TA: "that's why mums go to iceland" - what.
It's Peter Andre now, Kerry was dropped after she was caught on camera shoving snow up her nose.
