Youngest had surgery on her hip two weeks ago. It's been hellish but she is starting to feel better and sleep better. As the weather was nice yesterday I decided to take the kids to the local playground. We tend to frequent it all year around but yesterday it was full of the 'fair weather' parents who wouldn't dare let little Mork or Mindy out in public during the cold winter months.

Youngest is in a brace for the next few weeks. It holds her legs in an awkward splayed position to keep the hip in place. There was nothing in the playground she could really use apart from one large swinging thing that you lie in. I plaaced her in it and just as I started to swing one of those obnoxious little Morks, about 8 hurtles over and starts to climb in. I placed my hand in front of him and asked him would he mind waiting until we had finished as the little girl in there hasd a sore leg and if he climbed in he might hurt her. He starts getting pissy with me and trying to push in so again I place my hand in front to stop him.

Next minute some overweight heffalump of a parent storms over and tells me that there is plenty of room and why was I preventing her little Mork from climbing on and that he would stay over one side so he wouldn't hurt her leg.:rolleyes: I was so livid that I needed a cigarette to calm down when I got home and I've been off them 6 months :mad::(

Short version: over indulged kids and their fat parents!!!

I got so angry just reading this! What utterly inconsiderate twatty parenting. She had a perfect opportunity to show her son not to be a spoilt little b*llox and to put someone else's needs before his own

Fairweather (especially in this weather) parents do my head in. The hometime commute was a f*cking nightmare yesterday too as they all decided to come home on the same luas as the 9-5 ers after a day out spending their mickey money. The carriage was actually like a creche, and I had to start navigating my way off a stop early because there were so many buggies blocking the doors. Where are these people when the sun is not shining??

And if it's not a "challenge" then it's either got "gate" or "tastic" stuck onto the end of it.

This enrages me - lazy journalism.

Latest one? Cameron eats a hot dog with a knife and fork?

Yup - you've guessed it!

Hot-dog gate!?

Ah Vel, that's awful. I don't know how you resisted the temptation to say 'fcuk off ya fat fcuk and take your kid with you', she'd have deserved it. Jesus, with parents like that it's no wonder so many kids/teens have become obnoxious wan*ers.:mad:

There's no putting it off. I've got to go to the library today, the library that's built almost entirely of GLASS, so it feels more like a greenhouse than a library and will feel like walking into an oven in this heat.:(

FFS. What a charmer that kid is going to be, as an adult. Some kids really have no chance to develop any bit of kindness or sensitivity to others.

I nearly needed a cigarette just reading that, and I don't even smoke.

Menas

Stop talking about smoking everyone! Off them a good while now and suddenly getting pangs!

Mudmask

Waiting for the post man all day, no sign yet and I just know that he will arrive when I leave the house later. And then I'll have to get two buses and walk miles to get my package.
Even more trivially annoying was realising I had parcel motel credit, just after it had been dispatched.

I found shoes for sunshine! TA - I now have to get my feet "sandal-ready" .

My friend sent me a picture of a fat dog eating just as I was trying to get my jaws around a massive sandwich - now I feel like I'm being watched .

I keep forgetting to descale the kettle. I'm currently gagging down a cup of limescaley tea.

Speaking of parks/playgrounds-

down here there's a pub out the country kinda thing. has a big outdoor place for when the weather is good.
And has a playground thing beside it.
so of course with this fine weather and Easter holidays it's very busy.
Now I don't go out there, but the sister wanted to bring the kids to feed the donkeys there so I tagged along. Then of course, ice cream and the kids wanted to play in the playground.
Now we were minding ours, but what really annoys me is all the parents were more interested in their food and drink than little Jimmy bouncing his head off the ground when he falls off the climbing frame. Or when he's sitting at the top of the slide stopping all the other children.


tl:dr parents who are more interested in drinking and talking than minding their children.

Cold calling cork suckers.

If you are going to cold call, at least try something like the following

"Hi, I am Brian from Vodaphone, would you mind if I asked some questions about your current provider, and perhaps I can show you some of our offers, and maybe cut your Bill a little"

Not "Howya, do you have a landline?, no? Who does yer broadband? Right, here's the deal...

I hate that the sunny spell coinciding with Mickey Money Day has sent the skangers on a spending spree to Penneys. So many of them are decked out in the skanger Spring/Summer collection of fluorescent clothing and or velour tracksuits. The colours are migraine inducing, I suppose they wear them to accentuate their horrendous fake tan shades of orange/teak. As I read somewhere 'not so much sun kissed as Dorito raped'.

Pumpkinseeds

The ants are back in our garden so I've been putting down a pet safe mix of icing sugar mixed with baking soda to kill them, the annoying bit is that Mr Pumpkinseeds will start waffling on about 'the poor little ants', when he sees it. Yeah, when it comes to a choice between my feet getting bitten by the little bastards or killing them, the latter is always going to be my choice.

Eugh, yeah. The amount of young, able bodied slackers wandering around with drink is just unbelievable. Kind of makes you feel like an idiot for actually working

As for the luas at 5 30...... I'd actually rather walk. You kind of live in hope that some of them will alight at say...a certain stop. And then when they don't alight at that stop...you know they will not alight until maybe 5 stops later....and if they don't alight at that one..... they're likely going all the way

And that's another thing, if they want to burn the ass off themselves, go ahead, but can someone think of the children:D.

I have seen some serious sunburn On kids over the last couple of days.

There are often such moments in our house too. "Put vaseline on the tick to suffocate it" - um....can I not just pull it out and throw it into the field?

...and then I remember the little bástards are sucking the blood of my dog :rolleyes:

We'd a similar dilemma when a stray wandered in and we wanted to get her neutered but didn't know if she'd been er..."got at" before.... we sort of looked at each other with mild concern as we all silently considered whether our pro-life stance extended to felines :P

Was in the cinema today somebody's phone rings annoying enough but the cow answered the phone and had a full blown conversation. Not bothering her hole to keep her voice down :-(

Oh and the person that caused them.

I've no kids, and barely bother much with my eyebrows - if I'd a baby, especially a newborn, it's definitely not something I'd be thinking of

My housemate put the heating on. WHHHYYYY?!?!?!??11 At least if he'd warned me I'd have turned off the radiator in my room.

Now I'm too warm to sleep with the duvet over me but I can't get to sleep without the weight of the duvet over me.

I hate onions... in fact it transcends hatred.

driving home from work along the M1 some evening's there's a strong waft of onions/leaks coming from one of the local fields. ugh :-(

Women in work who talk about one thing only, their young children

No matter what you start a chat about they'll bring it back their little darlings. "We're busy today, hope we get out on time.......c'mere and I'll tell you what little Sorcha did this weekend" and then you are trapped for the next 15 minutes

And if you dare state an opinion you'll be dismissed with "one day you'll understand"

Remember children are like your fantasy sports team. You're obsessed and could chat for hours but that doesn't mean others want to

It's not even a sport. Do they ever work up a sweat? Have to laugh at the old lads with their golf cars. Playing a "sport" but too fúckin lazy to drive from hole to hole :rolleyes:

. During the 80's there was a male librarian working there who always wore polyester shirts and he stank of BO. The library doesn't have windows that open so the smell used to linger.

Reading a book on the way to work and realising that I may have mixed up two character's ages but being too proud to go flicking back through the pages looking for a reference to an age in case I come off as too intellectually challenged to remember what happened in the previous chapter
