That's the heathen Sassenach Battenberg. I'm talking about Irish Battenberg, the real one!

Not if you eat it with a knife and fork.

Spoon = dessert
Knife and Fork = dinner

Go for it Senor Bap

Triangular sponge-cake about a foot long, covered in a thick layer of chocolate. The Old Mill Bakery in Cork make them.

Hahahaha, I wear Mac Ruby Woo, I love giving the oh little kisses with it on, side of his face/neck. Not to be affectionate tho, to mark my territory and he can't usually see it. It's my equivalent to peeing on him if I were a dog.

I'm getting Mrs. Bap a set of rear break pads (and fitted) along with her annual commerative handshake. You should probably steal my idea.

You can treat her to a nice dessert too. Halfway through her lasagne, switch her fork for a spoon

We don't mark St valentine's day as we say we don't need just one day a year to express our love for each other: we do that every day. It really annoys people when we say it.

When people who are particularly overweight try to tell me that their exercise is better than my exercise.

It's a day for the insecure. They need that validation, big show of love, big gestures. Real love is getting up in the middle of the night to get the oh a basin to be sick into, and holding back their hair, or something gross. Anyone can go for dinner!

The price of ribs for the amount of eating on them. Shocking

I think it's probably the least romantic day of the year. We don't even acknowledge it. All that happens is people end up disappointed that their other half didn't spend as much as they'd hoped on them or annoyed that they spent money they can't really afford and a lot of single people feel even more miserable, etc etc. It's simply a marketing bridge between Christmas and Mothers Day, which incidentally is 2 weeks early this year folks, 15th March.:)

Some idiot in my office keeps saving data to the blank template spreadsheet. The number of times I've had to delete stuff before I could get on with my own work (usually muttering something along the lines of 'fcuks sake does nobody here know what 'save as' is.)

Today I am the idiot who saved to the template and in my haste to undo my mistake I deleted a pile of clever formulas too

Well done, well done.

Would you not just make the template read only?

Or better yet, just make it a document template!

I ordered alloys today and OH definitely said during the week that he would pay for 2 of them but now hes saying that he only said he would pay for 1:mad: We are heading off for a night away tomorrow and it might just be the best nights sleep he gets all year unless his memory recovers very soon:D

That is also an excellent suggestion. I prefer read only because I'm lazy as f*ck and it means the file name is automatically filled in when I go to save.

Whenever I was able to schedule meetings they started between 11.30 and 12 - nobody is interested in going on beyond 1 o'c, stomachs take over.

People walking along in a busy area, looking the opposite direction to which they are going. I met the same person twice in a busy supermarket today, doing just that. FFS.

Lexi, in reference to your employee, the Pope ok'd slapping children, But seriously, undermining a manager or derogatory comment to one is called misconduct and a verbal warning is allowed.

Popped into the local Lidl earlier on way home, 2 lovely Chungwans buying their cans or beer, (no bag) holding them all loose and dropping them, wearing their feckin Christmas P.J's Rudolph top and little Santa's all over the bottoms, FFS.

Whooops, oh boy, sorry!!

''........Creche is looking for a female driver to drop and collect children to and from local schools in Swords (8.10 to 9.10 am / 1.00 pm to 3pm) Mondays to Fridays, 15 hours a week.
Garda Vetting required.

(maybe I have the wrong end of the stick, I dunno, but it annoyed me trivialy, nonetheless )

I think it's all sorted now anyway. Had a chat.

Does red lights not apply to cyclists or something? Crossing the street, waited for the green man, stepped off the path and this bike is coming straight at me, it never stopped, then weaved out around me. I was sure he was going to smack into me, and you know when you get a shock and stand there like an imbicle not able to move? Bit like that.

People who can't walk in a straight line, but weave over and back on paths, making the people behind them bump into things, like that bike that's locked to a lamp post.

Ta I'm missing all my soaps and I have no ****ing social life anymore. Literally all I do anymore is work. I get up, work, come home and go to bed.
