A car crash in Fair City.....I thought fair City was a car crash!!

Ok, I've said it before and I'll say it again: Tupperware lids. I've got at least 7,483 containers here but I can't find a lid that fits any of them. (Even though I've got roughly 7,893 lids that keep on falling out of the top press.) And I'm out of tinfoil. The children will be going to school with their lunch wrapped in newspaper tomorrow!

That looks great and everything but I know I'd only fill it with odd buttons, zips that don't work, almost-finished rolls of sellotape, rusty blunt scissors, rolls of thread, chargers for a Nokia 3210, unsticky plasters, unused batteries .... and all the other stuff that makes up 'that' drawer in peoples' houses. That's what old USA biscuit tins are made for.

Every ad on telly where they think they are being original by having someone saying "bye bye bye bye bye bye bye"


Foreign students that cover the entire width of the footpath and then eyeball you expecting you to jump out into the road or twats who are walking towards you looking at you and then move onto the line you are walking and expect you to move. Guess what? I love CONTACT

Stupid people who can't think for themselves.

I heard a woman call into Joe Duffy the other day - she said her IBAN and BIC codes were coming up as invalid when she was filling in her water conservation grant online.

Just did mine. I too got an invalid error. I had entered the IBAN as it was printed on the bank statement, complete with spaces.

Tried taking out the 5 spaces and what do you know, it worked!

But hey why try to do something like that, phone into a national radio show for a rant instead.

Someone is going around our neighborhood attaching plastic stickers on cars that say "Would you like to sell this car for CASH?" along with an 086 number. Feckin' annoying it is.

I have rang the doctors 8 times in the past hour, to make an appointment. There are 3 receptionists with a phone each. Every bloody time the line is busy. God help you if you were lying in a heap! I'm going to have to call into the surgery now. It's not far away, but that's not the point.

Ring them every night at around 1am or so, or perhaps when you rise first thing. That'll please them!

We have one and you would be taking your life in hands just opening it. Corkscrews, knitting needles, Stanley knives, broken steak knives , pizza slicers, loads of medicine spoons, wool, sex toys (oops, wrong drawer) wooden spoons and a pliers.

There are just not enough hours in the day! I'm absolutely knackered, my body is aching in all sorts of odd places, I have spent this morning like a crazy lady getting through some paperwork (still lots more to do). I still have to make my lunch, collect monster 1 from school, drop him and monster 2 to their nannies and am still facing into a manic 9 hour shift at work.

I just need a hug :-( (or a PA who can read my mind)

I know it's a relatively new verb but it really annoys me when someone might say "I text her last night."

No, you texted her last night. DO YOU NOT KNOW HOW LANGUAGE WORKS?!?

The priority boarding option on Ryanair.com. Why would any sane person pay for this when you have your seat reserved? Also 2.5euro for a text reminder about your flight? For braindead people who forget everything.

I was waiting to board a Ryanair flight once and the priority boarders were let through first.... onto a bus that brought us to the plane. They got onto the bus first but onto the plane last. €10 well spent for them.

The last time I took a Ryanair flight I was laughing at EVERYONE queueing up. I was sitting on the floor with my laptop playing a SNES emulator for ages, I eventually rocked up as one of the last people to board.

We're all getting on the plane anyway... what's the rush?!

Have you seen the numbnuts that put the N plates on sideways and get a Z plate,(to be cool, I suppose) or the ones that put the L on from inside the car so as they look at it it's an L but when you look at it from the rear of the car it's to the left, their licence should be torn up, methinks.

People who complain on Facebook about the way people post stuff on Facebook ,
that's like walking into a room and announcing to everyone
"I think some of the people in here are dicks"
Which kinda makes them the dick

The King of Moo

A double whammy at the supermarket yesterday:

First, a woman put her shopping on the belt without putting the little barrier between hers and the previous person's shopping, despite there being two available.

Then, she did one of the worst things possible...

She put a bottle of wine horizontally on the belt, so that as the belt moved the bottle would roll with it, and stay in the same spot.
I swear that very soon I'm going to find myself grabbing another shopper's bottle and turning it the sensible way round.

That small bit of really short hair left behind after shaving, that you only notice later on in the day (if your rubbing your neck/face or whatever). More than likely invisible to other people, but nonetheless ridiculously annoying if your like me and like your face to be uniformly smooth after a shave.

It doesn't matter if they're visible. Once you're aware of them, that's all you can focus on all day. There have been occasions where the first thing I do on getting home is find a razor and get rid of the little bastards.

I know I posted something similar to this. Probably somewhere in R&R.
