Yes, and you do hear them sometimes. Ryan Ryan and Brian O'Brien being other examples.

The only thing worse is when 2 people with the same name, a unisex name like Jamie or Francis get married. Then you have 2 Jamie Dalys who are married to each other, nothing worse than it. When a letter comes in the post, who is it for ? WHO

I hate that I get all narky and snappy in the week leading up to that time of the month.

I hate how it makes me feel and how cranky I get towards my other half.
But I can't help it; even though I wish I didn't carry on like that, it's just something I can't control.
I've never gotten nasty or anything, just irritated.

I keep grinding my teeth in my sleep and it's starting to really bug me. I'm like a tightly coiled spring of tension and stress. Oh, it turned out to be the Shinners out looking for votes for one of their candidates. There'll be no votes for SF in this family.:D

When you're driving somewhere (in town/the city), and you know it's usually hit & miss when it comes to finding a parking spot where your going (more on the miss side), and as your getting closer, you see a spot and think "feck it, I'm having it, not taking the chance" and park there. Then when your walking the 400-500 metres to your destination you see loads of free spaces much closer to where you're going (bonus points when it's pi$$ing rain).

Then, other times, the complete opposite effect,
Your driving there, see you're space (the banker, from above), and think "feck it, I'll be brave, and go a little closer, sure there's always loads of spaces free much closer", and when you get there, get closer, nada, not 1 free space, you've to drive all the way around again, and to make matters worse, someone has parked a smart car in 'the banker'

Who cares who you do or don't vote for though? It's just better to leave personal politics out of such a good thread imo.

It seems that you care or you wouldn't have bothered posting a comment on my post.

Came across it in a list of people the other day, was wondering why anyone would sit there with their child and think it's a good idea.

Waking up all cold, shaky and feeling vulnerable after a nap.

Also majorly TA'd that the small KitKat I'd been saving for a desperate day (i.e today) had been scoffed by the other half this morning.

People showing me videos they like on YouTube, particularly ones they think are funny, sweet sufferin jaysus is there anything more boring, especially if it's any longer than 30 seconds, there's only so long you can humour your friends!

I've now started to implement the 30 second rule, if it's any longer than that then fcuk off, I'm not watching it.

Tell me about it. And the thing is, I'm in foul mood today. Really irritated.
If he doesn't hop to the shop and buy me at least two normal-sized KitKats to make up for his greediness, there'll be heck to pay.
And he sure don't wanna pay any heck.

When you see the neighbour of the nextdoor apartment who shares the same steps cleaning his ears and chucking the ear/cottonbud on the steps then you realise where and why the other earbuds are on the steps over the last few weeks, It was cigarette butts when they moved in, wonder whats next, dirty p1gs.

To be fair I like my grapes in liquid form and that does make me feel a bit guilty sometimes. And a bit drunk

My OH hates most vegetables and refuses to compromise on it and sometimes I miss the taste of peas and onions :mad:

I sometimes do things in slightly odd ways. I make tea with loose leaves, for example. Some people, when they seem me do something, ask a question like "do you always do that?"

They don't realise that this question is borderline insulting. It implies that what I'm doing is an habit, and no thought goes in to it. The questioner doesn't understand it, so it must be irrational, right? :mad:

Using the tea example again: I didn't always make it that way, and I might not always make it that way in the future, if I find a better way. I could explain exactly why I do it this way today, if you were interested, but you're clearly not. Do you always do ... anything? No, because you're not a machine, and neither am I.

Because I put them in food like spaghetti and apparently its too awkward to pick out (by either me or him) so I'd have to fry peas and onions separately every time I want food (there's always leftovers) and I can't do that everyday, who has time to make two separate dinners everyday.

While the pasta dish is cooking, fry your peas and onions separately. Keep warm and then separate your pasta between you both and justadd your extras into your dish.

Was it Colser mentioned the trouble with men lately?
I'm beginning to think men have worse bloody hormonal problems than women do at this stage :mad::p

I scraped my hand on a grater today. If that wasn't already bad enough I went to the first aid box to get a plaster. I took one out and tried to stick it on my finger, but it wasn't sticky and it fell off. I went through about 4 plasters before I got some cello tape and stuck it on.

Random soreness in your limbs.

That dry feeling in your throat and eyes when you can feel yourself coming down with something.

The OH wandering home langers at all hours of the morning. I am going to have to give her a good talking to when she eventually wakes!

preachy articles giving out to us about the things we're doing wrong in life.

I hear you on this, I think there is nothing worse (well there is) than someone offering yiu a cup of tea, and then handing you a mug with boiled water and a teabag floating in it...disgusting. Tastes completely different to tea pored from a pot....ideally not a metal pot.

Somehow being a celebrity allows you to dish out advice as some form of expert. Most notably Jenny McCarthy and her cure for autism. Rosanna Davison and her gluten free nonsense. Especially love this quote from The Irish Times:

"Davison thinks sourdough bread is easier on the digestive system and she “cites research that shows gluten to be the bad guy responsible for a huge range of medical conditions from autism spectrum disorders to schizophrenia to arthritis.”"
and this beauty:

"Davison, who has completed a three-year course in Naturopathic Nutrition and Human Biochemistry, said: “The difference between me and the ICMSA is that I am not trying to sell anything.”
And she wasn’t trying to sell anything – in May. Arguably she is now. Davison’s book Eat Yourself Beautiful, in which she shares her philosophy of plant-based functional nutrition".

TA'd at people's seeming inability to wash themselves. Few things worse than the stench of BO from some people. Also, one of our cats has reverted to total aggressive bastard mode with the cat he used to bully years ago, so we've had to put him on calming food and calming meds.

RaRaRasputin

Ringing the wrong number and all the confusion that comes with it, and then the fecker wouldn't even agree to repair my car! :pac:

Guess I'll have to continue ringing random numbers until someone agrees, where is the phone book again?

Not knowing whether or not to trust product reviews. We need a new duvet and the best ones we've ever had were feather ones, but that was before we realised the cruelty involved. Anyways, I've been looking at reviews of non feather duvets and I'm confused by the reviews, lots of people give 4/5 star ratings and lots of people give 1/2 star reviews for the EXACT SAME PRODUCT It's not even one duvet, it's the same with different brands.
