When browsing ladies and something completely fked up comes up on your search results.

Some people think the know it all, and only other people make mistakes, then they go on to argue that black is white with confidence.

Anyone else having problems with this the last couple of days?

Yes every site works perfectly fine in multiple browsers, but once I click on my Boards.ie bookmark I'll get the above message. And the fact that this is happening intermittently makes it more annoying.:(

Fair play to ya, I always tend to forget about the existence of the feedback forum. Never posting there or lurking there probably doesn't help.

Ticked off because there's a giant hypermarket near where I am at the moment (Poland somewhere) called Auchan, which I thought was a German company so I was pronouncing it ow-khan, but a friend told me this morning it's actually French and corrected my pronunciation, except now I've forgotten what she said it was and it's driving me batty.

You've probably figured it out by now, but as far as I recall it's "oh-Shan"

Food coma on a Friday

Also, there is a point where I cross the road to take the luas where three roads cross through a junction. Every single morning without fail as I am walking down the road towards the pedestrian crossing, I could (in theory) cross the road diagonally to get across because the green man is up (I know he comes up after a particular set of cars goes through) but I cant see him because I am not at the lights yet and I can't f*cking hear him because of the noise of the cars driving past me so I don't want to take my life in my hands and cross without being really certain. By the time I get down the road far enough to see the lights/the cars that have sped through the lights have fecked off with their noisy engines, it's usually the amber man and I have to run across.

I am also annoyed now reliving this TA, and equally annoyed at how long it took to explain and how I it makes so little sense even though in my head, it's really straight forward.

KERSPLAT!

I'm so tired, snapping that I said I'd play ball after work

When people completely ignore a good question or observation you've asked in an email. If someone asked you something in reality you wouldn't just stare ahead and have no response.

Friday night and happy to stay in.
Pop to shops for something, and don't pick up any sugary goodness or treats.... only to get back home and wonder why the hell I didn't buy any nice stuff??!
It's what I always said I'd do as a kid... to make sure there's treats in the house when I want, but I'm too lazy, or probably sensible, to get anyway!!
Damn my old age sensibility!

selous

Was it just me of did President Obamas speech this morning (about the shooting over there, terrible) sound bad, he took pauses after single words, and two words,
I don't think he said a full sentence in one go, was his ear piece not working and couldn't hear the guy telling him what to say or is there a reason for it?

When a guy presses the button at a pedestrian crossing and just fcuks off up the road.

Fcuker had no intention on crossing, im sat there in the creepmobile like a dickhead waiting for the lights to change.

Fridge light blew. To be fair the light has been there since we bought the fridge years ago, but you end up taking for granted how easy it is to open the door and look inside without turning on other lights in the kitchen.

whiskeyman

^^
I only recently changed our fridge light as a present for my wife's birthday!

When she opened the door, you should have seen her face light up...






TA - too many films to watch and can't choose which one!

osarusan

In threads like the 'Countryside or City' thread, or something like 'foods you avoid', there's always a couple of posters pissing and moaning about what somebody else has posted.

Why would you even give a crap about somebody else's preference?

You know what really pïsses me off, arrogant gits complaining about other people drinking Starbucks. Fúck you, I'll drink what I want, and frappucinos are like liquid crack. You're not better than me just cause you take your coffee black. :mad:

I don't think you can be annoyed by natural bodily functions but I hate when you drink a small cup of tea and then piss about three litres. Shouldn't happen.

Worst is when you're disturbed in your sleep because of that late cuppa :mad:

Columbo solved a murder because the victim did that.

fussyonion

I felt a bit cold today, even though it was a nice sunny day.
I wore a jumper. Not particularly heavy, just nice and cosy.

The amount of people who said "Jaysus are you not roasting in that?" or "What are you wearing a jumper for?" was unreal.
I was cold, ok? Sorry if I didn't feel as warm as you. Sorry I've offended you.

Ethnic minority (?) women around the town in their PJ's during the day.
They can put on their massive earrings and their badly applied fake tan
but yet can't be bothered to get dressed!
WTF ?

You should watch "pyjama girls," it's a very interesting look at this phenomenon. If you're going to get all worked up over what strangers wear, it's only fair to try to see why they do it.

The foil tops on Gl***sk yoghurt that can't be pulled open.
I always wonder if anyone in Gl***so has ever tried to open one of their yoghurts.

They're doubling up there, and no mention of a laundry service! I'd inquire about that. It's not an essential service, but I'd expect it in a four star hotel.

No mention of suppling a Bible?

Its better that they list it clearly though even if its expected so theres no room for error.

my husband and i were passing through somewhere and stopped to stay in a b&b last minute. It was a bit of a kip but we needed somewhere that night. When we booked the room, they said the room included a shower. When we got into the room, there was a shower, literally in the corner of the room.

Menas

Which brings me to another TA.
Over the past few years you could get great random last minute deals in decent hotels. Not anymore. Any half decent hotel near dublin seems to be full price. :mad:

dirkmeister

I get annoyed by paying full whack for a hotel but not having breakfast included in the price.

I thought I was going to be late for my driving lesson so was rushing around. I'm 20 minutes early!

Mates of mine booked a last minute room In Paris, described as en-suite. They weren't joking, the room had a shower cubicle, toilet and sink in one corner.

Any product bought that say's ''Re-sealable''. It never closes properly again.

paleoperson

The fact that I can't park in front of the supermarket and then start eating what I bought because people will look funny at me (or at least it'll feel that way since I only eat healthy food like fruit or salad) so I have to move the car again to a less conspicuous place.

It's a bit like saying, "Your room comes with a fitted door for privacy."

Nothing worse than dopes making a big play of something which is a basic requirement.

Robsweezie

I always leave the shops without trying anything on. With shirts I just grab a medium size and assume it'll fit me, and it always does. Jeans are harder to know. It's happened me once where I had to return ill fitting jeans when I tried them on at home and felt like a dope.

I bought jeans about a week ago to be worn today specifically, without a clue as to whether they fit me, just guessing and assuming by the sizes. I only checked last night and they do fit me fine, but what if they didn't?! Ah **** it
