    Restless legs. All I do is complain about it. I'm so so fed up, I've tried everything.

    I just cannot sleep. I don't know if it's a pregnancy thing but I've rarely had it before. Now it's every night, and in the car sometimes.

    I'm really struggling now. It's absolutely infuriating. I feel like I'm going to go completely psychotic and stab myself in the calves repeatedly :o

    What is the point of captcha??
    When will it stop??
    Who decided they could do this??
    I really hate to play the dyslexic card, but... I HAVE DYSLEXIA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    What about old people? They're dying and they don't need this shit either.

    I wouldn't be at all surprised if captcha has killed somebody by now. I'm serious. Do the sums.

    I curse the fcuker who ever thought it would be a good idea to throw a bunch of ineligible letters and numbers about a small box and then ask us to tell it what it is that we see.. and all to supposedly see if we're human or not?? Jesus, it's my humanness which is making it difficult ffs!! If I was a bot it'd be easy, that's the problem!!

    And once the montage is completed, we then go straight to the ads.

    I live on an old estate and the road is very narrow. So basically there is only one side of the road to drive on, and parked cars, as very few houses have a driveway. There are two bends as well and you can't see past the parked cars to know if someone is heading towards you. I'm sick to death of meeting someone head on, and having to reverse back out of their way, or having to pull into one of the cul de sacs so someone can pass when I'm coming up from the bottom end of the estate :(
    Fuk them..sit in the car and wait for them to back up!! I do this all the time..no way am I going to scratch my new wheels(plus Im a disaster at reversing but they dont need to know that;))

    The wall to wall sport on RTE on Saturday and Sunday afternoons wrecks my head.

    Not everyone likes sport. WTF. Alternatives are hard to come by, Newstalk is the same. Can't stand the jock stations where the presenter is more important than the Choones. And they TALK TOO MUCH.

    You can tell I am TA'd.

    So it's podcast time, but I like live radio, just GIMME A CHOICE!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,006 ✭✭✭✭Spanish Eyes


    Oh and while I'm on a rant, the amount of ads on RTE Player is so annoying. You could go and make a cup of tea, two slices of toast, butter the toast, sit down, and the ads will still be going.

    Same for C4 catchup.

    Someone must know a way of blocking them out. I haven't found it yet.

    I feel your pain, and it is a pain.

    They should just ask a you to add 1 + 1 and enter the answer.

    So much easier than looking at drunken letters that don't make any sense. I've had to refresh that so many times, I felt like a Captcha meself.

    Trivially annoyed that the DVD-RW drive on my desktop has decided that it doesn't want to read game discs anymore, necessitating the purchase of an external DVD drive. I knew it had to happen eventually but FFS, the damn thing still lets me play audio CDs and even rips the music if I so choose. But to actually read a game disc, let alone let me install the damn game? COMPUTER SAYS NOOOO.
    Urgh. I normally wouldn't mind but this has come at a time when I really don't have the cash to splash. Typical. :mad:
    Also, my right foot hasn't stopped aching in a month. I'm sure I have some kind of arch damage but I've no idea if I'm covered to see a chiropodist about it. So, yar- bodily aches and computer troubles.
    What else is new? :mad:

    I will try that, riclad, but this has been an ongoing problem for a while.
    Still, anything's worth a shot.

    I'm an idiot,
    I decided to buy a bike cos we don't have a second car and everyone here in Munich cycles. I haven't ridden a bike in 20 yrs. there is a reason for this!
    We decided to just go to the park, and our sons new trailer thing would only attach to my bike. So the incredibly unfit me thought that cycling for 2 hrs hauling 30kg was a good idea.

    My ass is killing me but crap my knees! I couldn't sleep last night coz of the pain. Can barely walk today.
    Stupid me promised hubby I'd cycle everywhere....

    My TA is that Im on 2 weeks hols from work and Im not heading off anywhere,I know I should cancel a few days because they will be kinda wasted but I know if I do that I will be like the antichrist when my alarm goes off on the morns that I could have stayed in bed(if that makes sence)..I just cant make that call:(

    Haha! I will only reverse if they have right of way, which is most of the time unfortunately, when I come in from the top end. I hate reversing, my brains go to mush at times. It's not natural to be driving backwards, for feck sake :)

    I agree..I remember dreading the driving test mainly because of the bit where you have to reverse back around a corner. On top of the fact that its a brain musher I have it drilled into me not to scratch the wheels off the kerbs,its like a double pressure and it hugely TAs me:pac:

    My annoyance this morning is that I have a splinter in my finger.
    A teeny tiny one that I cant get out.
    And I am at work...have no tweezers or savlon. I wonder would one of the Ladies that work here have a tweezers that they may lend me.....

    Ah skittles I posted the opposite (the pavement jumpers not the drivers, I'd be delighted with a beep!), where they see you and refuse to move, meaning you have to go onto the round. Worst of all it happens when they are walking towards the traffic so they see whats coming behind you.

    Ahh ya this annoys me too and is much more dangerous than my TA. Lack of footpath etiquette in general.

    Oh and ...*beep beep* ;)

    Ads for toothpaste. Why don't they use toothpaste in ads for toothpaste? Also, why isn't it teethpaste instead of toothpaste?

    Buses. It's like a sauna, I'm sweating, my legs are too long and my knees are in bits from the seat in front.

    So I moved to the back but the angle is weird so I feel like I'm being pushed forward. This is really sh*t.

    Oh no, don't cancel. I did that once, and never again.

    I was at a funeral earlier and couldn't help but notice, some people near the back of the church/doorway couldn't stop yapping. What kind of idiots go to a funeral and then can't shut their stupid traps. Are they there to pay respect or cause offense? Because to me it looks like the latter. The funny thing was, there was a Muslim couple sitting beside me, the woman was wearing her Hijab and I was struck by the respect and reverence they had for the ceremony. They had more sincerity than the hypocrites behind us.

    I painted the outside furniture exactly a month ago today, and I haven't actually sat outside on them once because it has been raining/cold here every single day since! Seriously what the actual fudge is going on with the weather?!

    Omg I think I'm going to scream. Why can't a person close their bloody mouths when they eat. I actually think I might throw up with the noise he's making. Absolutely disgusting and a complete lack of manners.

    Ugh, I watched a film at the weekend and the main character (a young woman) kept eating with her mouth open and talking while chewing! It was so distracting!

    Pins and ****ing needles in my foot. Couldn't move for a good 5-10 minutes and basically had to lie still in an awkward position until it stopped. It's a horrible numbness.

    I read just there that sitting awkwardly is a cause of it,....I've a bit of a habit of sitting on my foot, **** you circulation....
