I think coffee + cigarettes breath is worse.
It's like a reeking toilet bowl, full of a bowels unwanted kids after a curry frenzy.

Touché! That's me out of favour so. I'm now sitting in the garden with a mug of coffee and a cigarette.
Boy do I feel self conscious right now. Just as well there's nobody within a half mile of me.

People telling stories about people with special needs, who may not understand the difference between right and wrong nor understand that what they are doing is not acceptable, looking for laughs.
People who start these stories with "my friend's daughter has special needs... but she's a lovely girl" because people would automatically assume special needs = not lovely girl.

Give me strength.

When you get on the Luas and end up standing beside an oddball, in this case a guy who spent the entire journey talking to himself and gesticulating widly with his hands, interspersed with bouts of wild screechy laughter. This in itself is a TA, worrying if he is likely to try to grab a hold of one of your legs and dine on it while sipping on a fruity chardonnay!

But what is even more TA is in between staring at him, all of the other passengers also decided to have a good stare at me, being the person standing closest to him, to gauge my reaction. Never has appearing to be non-chalant been so hard!

Almost as bad as "And does he take sugar in his tea?"

Log on to check my bank account in the vague hope there might be a bit of loose change rattling about that will get me through till payday - discover a DD that normally goes on the 25th(ish) has already been presented!

So, no lunch and a bounced payment today!

What sort of grinchy company would do a January DD payment run early? It's bound to just lead to more admin work for them.

Had to get the luas this morning and there was a junkie trying to make friends with some poor innocent bloke making his way to work, phrases included "ah I'm only kidding ya skin". It's 7a.m. don't even attempt to talk to me " skin".

I also dislike job interviews!

Yes! I know exactly what you mean! It's the same when something happens like a baby grabs onto your bag or coat and everyone is waiting for you to smile and laugh etc or if someone who might be pregnant or might be old gets on and you're closest to them. Will she give up her seat? Will the fat/young person be offended? Grab the popcorn and coke!

I made a mistake on a job application. I had the wrong year down for when I finished college. I have never done this before and am quite annoyed at myself for making such a fundamental mistake.
Dopey f*ck.

WiseOldElf don't be so hard on yourself. I've made that mistake myself. It's easy to do when you're nervous.
Good Luck with the interview

I see our euphemisms are moving up-market. So much for beer and kebab, now it's all cheese-and-rideya!

You mean Mrs S? No, she is visiting old work friends. Hence coffee and cigarette in the garden. If she was here we'd be indoors, as she is always too cold.

I'd better get the mouthwash out before she gets back.:eek:

Finding it really hard to write the date today - 21/01/15 keeps coming out as 21/15/15 - still haven't written /14 yet though - which is odd.

If you do, don't forget to back hack and swallow loudly and touch as many doors and poles as you can, the ones for holding as opposed to the nationality!

People calling me and asking if I can hold. Why? F.ucking call me when you can talk!

I keep smelling 3 in 1 oil, or something simillar, except we don't have any. I can smell it outside and indoors and it's annoying me now.

Just had a fire drill at work. TA I was the only one not to put on a coat before leaving the building

There was an outcry at the last fire drill I was involved in winter last year as it was about 4PM and virtually everybody picked up coats, bags, car keys etc. for an early departure. One bloke even went out with his coffee mug like that bloke out of Dilbert.

Fire marshals weren't happy bunnys.

Those people who arrive at your desk to ask you something but because you are/look busy they stand back and don't say anything, possibly waiting for you to finish what you are doing before interrupting. You only know they are there because you happen to spot them out of the corner of your eye or hear a little cough or whatever. Well, if they think that I am going engage first they are wrong. They can stay hovering there like an immovable object for the entire day for all I care. You want me, you engage first!

A woman got on the Luas the other day with her sprog. Said sprog, approx 2, big mutton head and rosey red cheeks then proceeded to shout out 'na na' every so often. Cue the mother gawping around the tram with a big smile on her face seeing if any of us were as enthralled by her kid as she was. We weren't. Yet she couldn't help but let those of us in the general vicinity know that he loves bananas and that's why he was repeating it so often.

Well, I just don't know how I have lived up to now without knowing this interesting nugget of information. I was straight on the phone after I alighted the Luas to let my close friends and relatives know about this wonder child.

Spread the word people, there is a child in the Ranelagh area who loves bananas and calls them 'na nas'

If you can smell it indoors and out then it has to be on you.

New perfume?

Pumpkinseeds did you brush against something that has transferred oil onto your clothes ?

Aches from a fall on ice yesterday. No damage done but I'd love to see how many twists and turns I took, during my scramble, to have aches in neck, shoulder, leg and backside. TA was I warned Mrs S to be careful because it was icy outside and I went flying within 5 minutes of my lecture.

This is not altogether fool, m'lud. 3-In-1 is actually lemongrass oil. That perchance?

Walt is an asshole. He doesn't even care about Jesse at all

Ahem, I beg to differ, however if you want to up the game, get yourself the boxset of The Sopranos, and watch it twice. Quick fix in the meantime is House of Cards and /or Orange is the New Black....all good.

I thought he was calling her nana but she was obviously too young to be his nana. Had your story been on the red line however, I'd still be a little unsure :P

You'll find this is part of the genius of BB when this all turns around.

Also, check out the amount of purple that appears around Marie. Purple purple PURPLE

Trivially annoyed that you cannot register as a bone marrow donor for a family member. You simply join the registry and can be asked to donate to anyone. Why shouldn't we be able to donate to a fmaily member if needs be?
