    When I worked in an animal charity centre before, I swear there were some dogs that smiled when we took their temperature :o

    Nope, there have been attempts by some women in my earlier sexual encounters that have tried suprising me in that area before. Not a fan.

    "I've lost my watch" :D


    TA right now: The tv went tits up last night, and I'm humming and hawing over what to do. I was on to LG product support last night and I discovered I'm just outside the five year warranty, nothing they could do.

    I'm thinking well I watch feckall tv anyway so do I really need a tv, then I'm thinking well I could get the exact same tv again on adverts for €250 (tv cost me €750 at the time), although I'd be likely to encounter the same issue so not worth it, and then I'm thinking well those smart televisions are nice, but would I really bother watching YouTube videos upscaled to a 50" screen? I never did before.

    Ugh, I felt like kicking the damn thing through the wall last night, and now I'm just not bothered. I reckon I'll just have to pony up for a new tv and to hell with it :(

    I'm just ticked off that one minute it's working perfectly, and the next thing, bam, new tv, do not pass go, shell out another €750 for something you'll rarely ever use anyway! :mad:

    You should be able to get a good 40" (snigger) SMART for about 500 quid. I got one while ago (LG) with the "Magic" remote...only seven buttons. The dogs cojones. Netflix etc etc

    That magic remote is great. TA when you have to go back to using the other one if you lose it down the back of the sofa.

    I didn't look at thread since yesterday morning, and squeeeeee, 9 pages to read :). TA that I got so excited. Thanking left, right and centre, but the internet connection is so slow today :(.

    My TA is why do other women look at me so suspiciously when I say I don't watch the soaps? I have zero interest in them. I was at a wedding, and a friends wife, asked me what I thought of the latest Eastenders storyline. I said I didn't watch it. You would swear I had just told her I murder babies and eat them raw, the look on her face. She had to call over another friend to say "you won't believe this , but 'Cat doesn't watch the soaps!" I felt like a very interesting specimen altogether :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,163 ✭✭✭yeppydeppy


    When birds crap on my car, I roast a chicken and eat in on the porch with my hands, just to show them what I'm capable of.

    73Cat - will you marry me?

    TA - shoe sizes and why it's so difficult to find my correct size in this country.

    My mother likes to relay the latest storyline on Fair city etc. to me "You know your one, Yvonne...", talking about them as if they are neighbours (note lower case "n"!!). Then she remembers I have not watched soaps since 2003 and struggles to find something else to talk to me about. :(

    Aw, shucksss :)

    Living in a seaside town, I get seagulls crapping on my car /washing. The b**tards are massive, and so are their sh*ts :(.
    Another TA is I have handprints of what I can only assume is suncream on the car. It's red, and they show up something rotten. Can't get it off at all :(

    Oh, and did I tell you that I was out picking up De Vegetables for Christmas on the afternoon of Christmas Eve? I was, we usually leave it 'til then to grab things like sprouts, couple boxes of peas, mixed veg, etc. Do you think there was a Brussels sprout in either of the huge Dunnes foodmarkets in this leafy, comfortable suburb of Cork? Was there fcuk-buggery, mate. I very nearly Steven Seagal'ed the youngfella working in one of them with his Ironic Post-Modern beard as he gave me an amused look and said "Yeah, mad isn't it? No Sprouts like!!" :mad:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 32,688 ✭✭✭✭ytpe2r5bxkn0c1


    :( How the heck are you supposed to fold a double bed sheet on your own? Out of the dryer they come, I'm 6ft tall and I still can't fold the blasted things on my own without them dragging on the ground.

    Occasionally I buy a hot roast chicken from Dunnes and find a pretty layby and tear the hot fatty wings and skin off... bliss

    I done the same on Chistmas Eve, we were having some folk over on Stephens Day at short notice and had nothing in.
    Dunnes was like one of the shops in the first season of The Walking Dead minus all the zombies and carcases.
    People were resorting to grabbing anything. 1 old dear was proclaiming that she had the last tin of Quality Street in ye olde shoppe.
    Not a vegetable in sight. But luckily I took another whip past the veg section before checking out. Some stocker had found a box of loose carrots and spuds and just popped them out on my return. Christmas miracle.
    TA - cooking on Stephens Day a/k/a leftovers day.

    Lol because cooked babies would be ok :P I hear you on the soaps thing. I consider every second spent watching them to be a sinful waste of one's life (says she typing her 7,854th trivial annoyance...) :(

    Put it on the bed, in a heap, if your floor is so bad. Find a long side, put top and bottom corners of that side together. Hold with one hand, together. Find middle with other hand. Lift with 2 hands, short side of sheet (hanging down) should now be less than your upstretched arms height and not touch floor.

    Yeah, I hear that. I had to blow a ferocious 83-year-old's head clean off with my semiauto Mossberg because Mrs. Goose wanted a nice bit of Christmas Cake. It's getting a bit ridiculous. :pac::pac::pac:

    When you order something online and it arrives and the sizing is completely out. Thought I had a bargain on a new swimsuit, by the looks of things I need to return it and go 2 sizes smaller...

    Nope, just swam before work at the pool near the office. Saves me having to do stuff later if I get the workout out of the way in the morning pre-coffee when I'm too stupid to know better.

    Happened to me one year when I was trading at a farmers market, I delayed going over to the veg stall and when I got there it looked as if a hurricane had hit. The man kindly let me rummage among the wreckage and I rescued a small handful of sprouts...it is not shopping but a feeding frenzy

    I hate the feeling of panic that wells up when you're bursting for a piss, running to the urinal, a drop or two making their sneaky appearance, you run while fiddling trying to open the fly of your jeans, fumbling around for the top of your jocks to pull your mickey out and you can't find the way in as you are really fidgeting with the bottom of your t-shirt.

    What annoys me is the number of people who grab all the fresh veg at Christmas and they complain about the waste and all the unused food they had to dump after Christmas. Can they not judge how much they'll use? Or do they not recall chucking sprouts in the bin last year and the year before?

    Worse still when you are bursting try to unzip only to realise you're wearing a button fly :eek: the extra few seconds it takes to get your lad out is like the climax of an action movie.
