Time to buy a Nolan's bag?

I have my flight socks and tartan trolley on order! Pulled out another white f.ucker today! If that's happening on the outside, God only knows what's happening on the inside. TIme to put the eggs on ice!

Rubberlegs

Walking in somewhere and my glasses fog up, so I can't see who I'm looking for. If I take them off I definitely won't see who I'm looking for .
Constantly misplacing my glasses at home , and not being able to find them because I'm half blind without them.

Most of my TA's relate to bus users, or at least they used to before I stared using the luas, and the stereotypical annoying woman on it always seemed to be carting around a Nolans of Clontarf bag (or was it Nolans School of Music?)

Maddening A similar one - in 17 years of contact lens use, I have yet to remember to locate my glasses before I take my lense out

If it's any consolation to others, while I knew what a Nolan's bag was, I'm not sure what the remainder of ONW's post means!

My trivial annoyance for the coming week: I've an interview/exam on Wednesday next week in Dublin. It starts at 8 a.m. I live in Limerick. I am trying to decide will I stay with a friend and get the red line Luas in (shudder), stay with my mother (bigger shudder!), or an as yet unknown third option.

I was 21 in 1997 I felt ancient

I don't like when I buy a bottle of wine in Tesco's when the message comes up "Does the customer look over 25?"

The cashier barely has to glance at my haggard face before they swipe it through.

I'd like the merest bit of consideration that yeah, maybe I could just about pass for 25.

Ah now, don't get carried away. I've a friend who started graying at 22, another at about 25. I don't think it's any reflection on any other part of your body, sure there are professional athletes who are silver foxes.

I'm fast approaching 30 with nary a gray hair in sight, nor any sign of the spectre of MPB. Just putting that out there, you know, to highlight that I'm pretty great.

Wise Old Elf the red luas line is fine early in the morning cos the Loolahs and junkies are still in bed

OldNotWise Nolan's very posh. It was Superquinn bags out in the Blanch.

When the train finally showed up, two hours later, I end up in a 4 seater booth, next to what seems to be a hypochondriac who's spread himself over the entire table and most of my seat, listening intently to an old man who's talking about kidney function, medication and gout.

"I have a respiratorty consultant Whos in a world famous hospital in Cambridge"
Where did he train?
"Galway."
Oh Galway? He must have worked with XXX, he's from tuam.

Now he's talking about his fake eye and being able to take his eye out to clean it. Your man here next to me is in his element.

Is it not like the Calcutta express though (jam packed)?

MsBubbles

Wise Old Elf It depends where you're getting on the luas, if it's before Heuston Station it's not too bad. Also before 8am it's not too busy

I spent a good 30 seconds trying to figure out if there was a pun in here.

Yes. In Dunnes, they have to approve the sale at the self service till by confirming 'date of birth not needed'.
I don't know what the other option on the screen is, cos they press that one so fast without giving me a second look. Sob.

Trivially annoyed that I got up at 7 and was on my way to work when I got a text to say school was closed!

I could have stayed in bed

"Is it harder to drive the bike in snow?" Well, first of all, it hasn't snowed here and second of all, OBVIOUSLY (said slowly like Professor Snape to Dolores Umbridge).
"Is it harder to drive a bike or a car in snow?" I don't fooking know, I don't own a car.
"Do you think it'll snow again tonight?" Well, first of all, it didn't snow last night and second of all, I'm not Met Eireann.

There are a few upcoming musicians that I have befriended on the likes of Twitter and Facebook. I'm no big shot at all in the music industry, but have a few people I can reach out to to help out these new artists.

Then....they start p*ssing me off.

The biggest annoyance I have is that they start to look at thier number of followers as a benchmark of thier success.
Then they repeatedly spam saying stuff like:

SUPPORT: My page is less than 230 Likes away from reaching my goal of 3,000 Likes!!!
Please help me get there before the official release of my new single ‪ January 25th!!!
It would mean so much if you could support and invite all your Facebook friends to LIKE this page!!

Understandably, they want to get as many new listeners as possible, but I'm of the opinion that your music is what counts, not the number of people who are being forced into spam and reach.

I'm reminded of that old photo of a group of American doughboys in the Nevada desert looking on at a thermonuclear test from about two miles away. :pac:

Hate that. Wait til the blood starts to flow back. Is there any worse sensation? Especially if someone makes you laugh

Knobjockeys who persistently call the telephone with "withheld" numbers (this would be totally illegal if I had anything to do with it) and then leave no voicemail - which I detest as well, but needs must. There should be strict "Loo-Lah" testing in place before anyone is granted a permit to own/operate telephones, computers, credit-cards, firearms, or motor vehicles. :mad:

yeah:rolleyes:, I believe in Karma too, that's why I treat people like shíte all day and I know they deserve it!

TA: Karam, what a load of B.S.

fizzypish

I think Karma is great. Its complete bs. What goes around does not come around but if you try to think in terms of karma when making decision you may end up doing less twatty stuff.

Trying to drink coconut water for it's supposed health benefits but it's gag-inducing. Quite possibly the worst thing I've ever swallowed, although there was one guy from a few years back who's a close second :pac: Staring at the carton wondering if the power of transubstantiation might also apply to coconut water and turn it into a nice Shiraz...

I don't suppose a bottle of Malibu would have the same health benefits.?:D

I went to see my GP this morning, I'd been putting it off for ages but my hands are really aching, turns out it's probably Carpal tunnel syndrome:( Honestly, my health is so sh*te that I sometimes suspect there's someone somewhere sticking pins in an effigy of me.

You know when they're smoking joints and bits of the burning weed flicks off and leaves those little burns in things? So when you see those skobes walking around in their Adidas bottoms all tiny little holes they're called hot rocks

Haha, Dunnes do an imitation Malibu called cocamo or something. We used to drink gallons of that with orange juice before going out. Ah I miss those hazy college days It's pretty much the same as the real thing

In my younger days I loved Malibu and pineapple juice, far too easy to drink though.:D

Ages ago I was walking down that lane off harcourt st next to coppers (you can still smell the shame even the next morning there!) when these two junkies were walking in the opposite direction. One of them loudly mentioned I was an 8. I was offended because a) only an 8? And then I thought about it and have you seen a junkies girlfriend??? If they're 10s and I'm an 8 without hoops or pjs, there's sometnimg seriously wrong with society

Why is it called the Square?? cause no one out there could spell pyramid, oh bless, how old is that one???
