Except for the really bad Tom Hanks impersonator.

Ah Jimgoose I'm a city burd tru and tru. The only time I saw a tractor as a kid was when the council cut the grass. I break out in hives if I'm more than 10 minutes from a town.

People who say they will ideally have 3 or 4 kids. Are they even on the same planet as the rest of us? I would be in the loonybin. 4 kids.

I think I will just have one. I'll spoil it rotten, speak to it like it's an adult so it turns into an obnoxious, precocious little twat who speaks like an adult at age 5, and send it to the best school I can afford so it turns into a snob. It will be a multilingual chartered accountant or corporate solicitor. Hah! Take that world! I've got my own back now! Here's another snot to add to the human race

My GF said off hand the other day "I might like kids some day". Nearly shat myself while attempting to jump out the window. I think she was aiming for the reaction I gave though....

I am allergic to children. ALLERGIC.
When I'm being extra cheeky I whip out my epi pen and say "see, my GP even prescribed me this" :P

My ex-flatmate is from Offaly. He used to head back home for training a couple of nights a week.
He said that they'd be on the pitch doing a few warm-ups and stretches with the trainer at the front shouting

'Inhale'

'Outhale'

Craving the most ridiculous things. I'm on a diet. That is, eating actual food instead of rubbish. But I can't even explain how much I need macaroons right now, and crisps and maybe a bar of galaxy. With some curry chips or even some Chinese. WHY?!

LexieOnRale wrote: »

I'm told a lot of the damage done by Chinese takeaway is done by the sauces. So, compromise - get a nice crispy Beijing-style half-duck, no sauce, flake a load of oven chips on and horse into it with some low-fat mayonnaise. Daycint. :cool:

I am the most boring person ever when it comes to food. If I'm eating out its always the same. The starter will be soup, the main course will be chicken and pavalova for dessert. Always. Chinese is always chicken curry, no peas and boiled rice. Sandwiches are always just ham unless I'm feeling adventurous, then it's ham and cheese. I don't eat beef, duck, lamb, some pork (sausages and ham I like though). I like veg if I have gravy but not a fan of potatoes or pasta. I need to broaden my horizons. But man, Chinese curry? If I could, I would just order the curry and eat it with a spoon. That's typical, I'll like the one that's awful for you. That's pretty much my entire diet in a post. I'm surprised I haven't died from scurvy

MsBubbles

Soup is a great way to eat vegetables and it's so easy to make. I'm making more tonight I'll send some over

Parents who overshare about their offspring. Just because I have kids myself doesn't mean I want to hear every last toe-curlingly boring detail about little Sinead, especially not when it includes hearing about the consistency of the contents of her nappy.

People who take forever to relate a tale. They go off on tangents. They tell you the ancestry of each character. You're told what they were wearing and what kind of car they drive. But it is summed up as "I met X today and he has the flu" - 20 minutes later.

My best friend, I love her dearly but she wrecks my head. Sometimes I wonder if she's all there or if maybe she might be a lesbian not that there's anything wrong with that, except for the fact she has a boyfriend and a child.

Examples.

She sends me about 40 photos of herself pouting asking me to choose my favourite. I send her back my favourite and then she asks me to send her some pics of me. She saw me on monday for practically the entire evening. Why does she forget what I look like.

Or a conversation that goes something like
Her: Lex, do you love me?
Me: No.
Her: ah no, seriously, do you?
Me: No.
Her: really? Ah you do, don't you?
Me: not right now I don't youre doing my head in.
Her: but what about usually?
Me: yeah okay I do
Her: thanks lex I love you as well

Wtf????

Red warning in Limerick, all the schools are closed, place is like a ghost town this morning, there's not even so much as a breeze, never mind a gale!

Rosie Rant

The phrase "If you don't mind me asking" when used unnecessarily, as if the question being asked is personal in nature, when it isn't. If the question was " And just how many bowel movements do you have a day, if you don't mind me asking?" - that is a personal question. The phrase is ok to use there.

But the question I was asked was " And just how far away is the cinema from here? If you don't mind me asking.."
Why would I mind being asked where the cinema is?

I'm kind of trivially annoyed by this as well, but then I remember getting a call to collect my kids in the middle of the storm in February last year, and I think they were right to go cautious. Also annoyed that my workplace is open!!

It's a cousin of "I'm not being bad but..." or "I'm not a racist/homophobe but..." Usually followed with a bad/racist/homophobic comment. Stupid, meaningless disclaimers that don't actually negate the shítiness of what you're about to say

I used to work with a guy who would say things like 'don't take this the wrong way but...' And he thought that gave him free rein to tear someone apart.
