Irregardless. I die a little inside everytime I hear someone say it

I've just seen a post where someone said "I didn't LOOSE it.......etc.

God of Almighty, but that drives me absolutely crackers.

And I hate Bank Holiday Monday nights that are like Sunday nights too. So there.

TA'd that I decided to go and play crazy golf and try archery for the first time. So, nobody thought to check if the place was open on a bank holiday and when we arrived the place was closed. On the upside, we went off to Fota instead and most of the animals were out and about, and it didn't rain!

Was walking home earlier and for some reason now my leg is completely seized up. It's like it's wooden only with pain? I tried deep heat and massage but it's staying put. I'll have to drag it after me for weeks! Peg leg features.

Wanting a kick scooter. Have found one online from the US that is built like a tank, can support up to 300 lbs etc. My TA is that riding one here would get you labelled a "quare" and your head kicked in.

I'm old enough to remember it's rude to ask a woman just how old are you... so I won't

But yeah, I remember peggys legs, like sticks of brown rock, and a quarter of fizz bombs or rhubarb and custard hard boils. My mother used have us tanked up on barley sugars while she kept the foxes glaciers and silvermints to herself.

I only found out why she kept them to herself a month ago, when she let slip about her being a smoker back then! Crafty oul so and so, all the years she'd been giving out to me about it and she never let on :pac:

The word "bae", I've only ever seen it used online, had one of the girls in work mention it during small talk in a meeting today.
She's 38.

I remember getting them at the little shop near my Granny's as a small child. Kind of a darkish red/ brown small stick of rock. They were lovely:)

Eh no you're not. Cleeves Toffee is another one. And Licquorice sticks, and gobstoppers, and fizzbags, and......

You can get most of them in the Retro sweet shops now. Nostalgia. Aaaah.

eternal

I've never been in any of those sweet shops and I don't eat any sweets at all. Is that weird? Where do you find the retro shops?

I had to google that. But I'm still not sure!

Care to give some context or translation??

eternal

It means 'before anything else', I think or 'anyone else'.

Out walking and I just nearly tripped over a manhole cover posting the last one. That awkward kind of nearly hitting the deck , and righting yourself at the last minute. I was praying that no one saw as it's something I'd be buckled at myself!

Ha ha. Remember any of the "sweet cigarettes"? They had a red tip. Gas isn't it.

When someone makes a cup of tea and a cup of coffee and they give you the tea but when you taste it it has the taint of coffee because they used a spoon to put the coffee into their cup and then stirred your cup of tea or took the tea bag out with the same spoon without cleaning it.

Golf Ball chewing gums,they were sold loose in a box..halfpenny each..I loved them but the taste was gone very quick..Getting very nostalgic now:pac:

Spanish Eyes

Right, we need to get back to being annoyed at trivial things.

Eating sweets and breaking your teeth doesn't count.

My TA is that I now would like some Golfballs, Peggys Legs and Liqourice Pipes ,
retro sweet shop here sells them though I think

I hate it when a person takes up two seats on the bus. Did they pay for two seats?

Was on a bus today, and this bloke had himself spread all over two seats. I got on and his was the only seat left. So I smiled at him and went to sit down. He DID NOT MOVE AN INCH!

God I got a bit angry, and stood there. No movement. In the end I figured the guy had issues with people being close up or something. But I was feeling a bit well,, you know yourself, and I sat on the edge of the seat, just to be a divil. And he still did not move.

Cue Spanish Eyes inching in. It was great fun. I am old enough now to get away with that!

But it annoys me so much, so whenever I see it happening, I go in for the kill.

Bought new all singing all dancing gel insoles with money back warranty insoles, for E21.00 put them into my very comfy walking shoes and off I popped on my holls,
Within 5 days they had fallen apart, FALLEN APART I say, in 5 days, (Bought a pair of lidl ones for E3.99 while away) looked at website on how to avail of warranty,
return it to (address) along with PACKAGING and receipt and insoles,
The flipping packaging was thrown away before I went on holls, But i'm gonna send them anyway. Grrr.

TA that I'm back to work tomorrow after nearly two weeks off. Feel like I did back in the days of yore waiting for Glenroe to finish and go to bed. Sigh...

just had someone reach across in the car and flash my high beams at someone. if there's one thing worse than back seat driving it's operating any of the controls in the car on my behalf.

And then when you go to bed early to be nice and refreshed for the morning after the Bank Holiday, you cannot sleep a fekkin wink.

Nearly as bad as someone looking at the speedometer, and telling you what you are doing. And asking what's the speed limit, and are there speed vans around.

God...... get back in your backseat you moron. I'm in control behind the wheel. And I know what the speed limit signs mean too. Yaargh.

This is how my life goes:

Me (to myself): "Ow, my stomach hurts from drinking all that tea!"

30 minutes later....

Me (to myself): "I'm gonna have a cup of tea."

...and so on and so forth.

At least it's not alcohol, I guess.

Kids across the road are flashing a laser at our house, from their bedroom.
Other half told me to reflect it back at them with a mirror but I'm trivially annoyed I don't have the guts to.

Just reminded me of that ad where the Mam asks the kid "what sound does the train make" and so on until the clapped out car is sounded.

Kids..what do they know about cars except it's Mam and Dad's taxi. Give me strength.

Forgive my french here, but I would stop the car and fúck the idiot out. I wouldn't put up with anyone interfering with the controls of my car when I'm driving.
