Want to know the secret to the NCT test? I seen some legends doing this the last time I was there.

Stop at the McDonalds drive thru on the way, dine in squalor at the NCT waiting area. Everyone, and I mean everyone will go through a range of emotions looking at you. Mostly jealousy.
They dont know wether to yo-yo to the window to see thier car or try guess what you are going to pull out of your Mickey D's bag next.

My TA is that I didn't come up with this.

That is... so beautiful. <sniff>.

Heh, I'm sniggering to myself as I've seen a few TA's that are things that I do .

My TA, everything is distracting me today, I'm a woman on the edge . Windscreen wipers too loud, radio too loud, traffic mental . I had taped One Million Dubliners ages ago, and watched it this morning when I eventually had time. Brilliant , but I remembered the lovely historian who did the tours at Glasnevin, had died, and I'm in bits since. TA'd that I let stuff like that get to me. And really TA'd that I didn't take the tour a few years back, as I had planned.

It's quite annoying that there isn't something around that you could try different things out as a trial run. My friend wants me to let her make me blonde but I don't know if blonde hair would even suit me and I'm so annoyed that I can't look into the future see myself that colour and then make a decision

My nct is coming up soon. The whole experience will definitely be less TA now I have found this thread!

SOAFB. Unnecessary sign language on programmes. I recorded something on BBC 4 and when I sat down to watch it, low and behold there's some fella in the corner signing. FFS, there are options available to have subtitles for the deaf on most channels. It fcuking ruined it and I deleted the damn thing after a minute since the signing is too distracting.

Noisey eaters. People who sound like they're inhaling their food. Over the chatter, the noise of the train and the guy next to me sniffling, I can STILL hear your wan smacking her lips, sucking the juice from the orange shes trying to inhale, and then chomping on it, Jesus Christ. Now she's picking at her teeth with her fingers. Disgusting excuse for a human being. Save for the chomping, the way she's carrying on with that Orange id give her oral skills an A.

Why do people eat on public transport?

Lexie are you sure it wasn't a grapefruit ?

qo2cj1dsne8y4k

I read on the stars problem page yesterday where someone's boyfriend had two accidents in the space of a few weeks, one with the suction of a Hoover and one with some fruit from a fruit salad. I was wondering if it was a grapefruit too!!

Ugh - someone was killed on the train line this evening, all the trains are backed up. Of course there's an aul one going around complaining about the delay (hello, someone died) and also seems fascinated wondering if it was suicide, sure it must have been suicide, sure they'd never get the whole lot of you after you were hit with a train. Oh right. That's a nice image. Nice respect for the family the train driver and the deceased too. The blue rinse brigade love a good tragedy

So irritating!! That happens to me all the time and I always delete it, it's so distracting. Subtitles would surely the better solution here.

I wonder will they have to rename the Bord Gais Energy Theatre now in line with this?! As it is, a theatre being called the Bord Gais Energy Theatre is a TA for me!

People get far too excited when they're in the NCT centre. Up and down looking out the window to see where their car is, giving constant updates to whoever's with them, reading out where their car is from the screen, repeating "please god it'll pass now" to whoever makes eye contact.

I might also be slightly TA that my car didn't pass....but mainly cos of the idiots in the waiting room!

Was getting my car NCT'd in the Tullamore branch some years back and half ear-wigging to a guy giving out to the guy who failed his car, he points to another car and says "My car failed on (didn't hear) and that fookin car has the steering wheel on the wrong fookin side, which is more of a hazard?

Have they? I remember I was sorting out a gas connection for a gaff some time last year and I'd to call Gas Networks Ireland to get connected to the grid?

I also got a text this morning from Three, apparently O2 customers will be joining "me" soon. Just what an already oversubscribed network needs - more subscriptions. The first time I got a 4G phone last year the network speed was ridiculously fast, 50Mb/s. Now it's usually around 20Mb/s, still quite fast, but a fair step down!

Mmm. Hutchinson Telecom joining Telefonica, infrastructure-wise. Theoretically it should work well, but this is Ireland...

Or when the hot water becomes far too hot and you still have soapy hands.

Yes, this too!

Or you run out of liquid soap and you open up the bottle/dispenser and put just a tiny drop of water in it to get the last bit of soap stuck at the bottom but it comes out too watery!

Girls attacking another girls appearance. If you're going to start that ****, you'd expect that girl to be an absolute model right? I bet if sue Ryder sold people, this is the girl you'd find left at the back. She's like the heel of a loaf. Everyone touches it but nobody wants it, exactly like her. If I had willies growing in a field I wouldn't let this one look over the ditch at them. And yet - there she is, criticising, judging, being sly and nasty. Who CARES what other people look like? Concentrate on yourself like a good chungwan

I'm TA that its almost 1.30 on a Friday night/Saturday morning when there are people out clubbing and enjoying all manners of fun and I'm sitting here having a slice of toast with strawberry jam.

Ugh I'm on my way to work looking I've just emerged from a week long bender in a crack den. Not even in form for putting on makeup. That's when you know ****s serious. It's only a 24 hour thing, right?

I accidentally came to work an hour early.

People that won't get dressed TA me. At the weekend when I'm not up and out early, sure I won't get dressed so early. But not to get dressed at all, like not even a pair of trackie bottoms and a hoodie, ugh , I dunno! If someone calls to the door early on the weekend , and I'm still in my dressing gown, I won't go to the door , I'd be morto. Unless of course it was my immediate family. I have a friend who lives in PJ's if she isn't leaving the house. You could call round after lunch, and they are all in PJs, her husband usually bare chested in a pair of PJ bottoms. Jesus Christ, make an effort!

I'd usually throw on an aul hoodie and tracksuit bottoms... but if someone's comin round, or if I go to the shop, it's shower and clothes time!

I never get dressed when I am on my lazy days. Get up shower clean pjs, couch. I come home from work, straight into my pjs. Pjs are the best clothes ever. I love pjs. Obviously now if people are going outside or expecting people over, get dressed but otherwise what harm!

Tis just one of those things I'm weird about! I hated being in hospital after having the kids, being in PJs and dressing gown, especially with the in laws visiting me. I cringe if the eldest two aren't dressed when someone calls. I haven't opened the door to the postman to take a parcel if I'm not dressed. Ha, writing this makes me sound such a freak ! I think it's ingrained in me, I blame my Dad. When I was at home still as a teenager, at the weekends, or if I wasn't working I still had to be up. He wouldn't tolerate lolling around at all.

qo2cj1dsne8y4k

Well Id agree with you about answering the door and being in hospital. Any time I'm in hospital I always get dressed during the day if I can at all, because the absolute shame of a rake of strangers looking at you in your jammies. I straighten my hair and do my make up too like a weirdo

When I lived in a house share, I was the only girl with 5 lads and I never ever wore anything but Jammies which became a joke in the house. One of them used to joke about how he never saw me in the same pair twice (I had so many).

They're just so comforting! They're like wearing a hug.

Apparently, since 2008 the goverment has spent almost 14 million euro protecting the habitat of the hen harrier bird. FFS, what a waste of money.

ChaosSymbol

I really detest people who can't deal with a situation head on, instead of pussy footing around it with passive aggressive sh!t. Euggghh, it grinds my gears no end. I'm not a big fan of most people in general, but that one thing makes me dislike them a lot more. I'm a straight talker, so someone taking 15 minutes to get to the point is extremely infuriating.

People born in fields. Is it that incredibly difficult to close a door behind you so that the heat can be KEPT IN!!!!!

Next gob****e that walks through that door and doesn't close it behind them is getting a stapler thrown to the head :mad:
