In the fashion industry, "plus size" is a term for models who are size 8 and up.

US size 8, so a UK size 12. A very healthy size for someone who is the height of a catwalk model!

The modern phenomenon of getting upset far too easily.

Latest example, Irish Water sent out a letter to a dead person
http://www.independent.ie/irish-news/water/irish-water-crisis/irish-water-sent-bill-to-woman-six-years-after-death-31155428.html

OK so it would be nice if that didn't happen, but all systems are computerised now, and often things like this happen. But is it the end of the world if it does? To some it seems like the worst thing ever, with it being the main headline on a website, complete with family members standing holding a copy of the water bill like idiots. And it wasn't even IW fault, as the name was taken from the electoral register.

Now my own father is dead, but if a letter came in through the door for him, I would likely smirk and think how silly IW is, perhaps call them to let them know their error.

I definitely wouldn't run off to a major newspaper and pose with the offending letter.

They'll probably be looking for compo for emotional stress!

My TA is those photo's that 'newspapers' take of people outside their house, holding up the offending letter, or the chipped milk bottle, or the whatever it was that has ruined their life this week.

Another TA is when newspapers or news sites say things like:
"She poured her curves into her skintight jeans" or
"She cradled her growing bump" or
"She welcomed her first baby into the world."

She WELCOMED?
I imagine her looking down at a newborn baby, clapping her hands, saying "Welcome!"

Does anyone know how to get liquid foundation out of the, erm, crotch area of a black trousers?

I was reaching up for some files on a shelf and some... idiot, had a bottle of liquid foundation up there with the cap left loose on it. Who does that?

I've tried fairy liquid and a j-cloth but it's still... "visible". Jesus how do women get this stuff off their faces?

I believe you, thousands wouldn't, but I believe you. Have you got any baby wipes in the office? That stuff can lift paint off carpets, it should take foundation off clothing. Best to be loud about it, maybe put on a fake raging voice demanding to know who left the make up in there and pointing out that it's destroyed your trousers, turn the tables on em.;)

I misread that, and thought liquid foundation was some posh name for typex... which confused me a lot when I read the last line!!!!

Ohh christ don't get me started! Lipstick on my collar is the least of my worries when I always wear white shirts and I'm not a tall guy, but the girls are even shorter, and there's nights there I came home from work and the front of my shirt looked like a rolled around on bed sheet with the amount of foundation and make-up on it! :rolleyes:

I'd say the laundrette guy actually does use carpet cleaner to get 'em white again

Haha, nope, I know it's some kinda of potato and meat dish, and can almost taste it... yet can't quite place what it is.

I suspect that I dreamed about it during the night, hence waking up with the craving...

Am pretty sure any old potato and meat thing will not quite do the trick.

People who use 'reply to all' needlessly make me ragey.

See a group email going out, and the group being cc-ed rather than bcc-ed, and immediately think 'here we go...'

Since then, I've had several 'reply to all' emails from others, with information I don't need. Mostly people confirming they can't attend the meeting the email was inviting us to.

My original response (to the sender only), was to say that I can't attend, as am on holidays that day... but since then I've had about six more people reply to EVERYONE to say they can't respond.

Why oh why do you think everybody needs to know this? The event organiser does. But not the few dozen people who were also invited to the meeting.

Stop it. Seriously just stop it.

Actually - people who eat food at their desks. Nobody is that busy, seriously - step away from the desk, go have lunch, clear your head, and then come back


Oh, and the flies, jesus christ almighty it's like they're out in force today! I'm not even bothered killing them, I just wish they'd fcuk off somewhere else! :mad:

I spend all my lunch time shopping or running or studying - so I usually eat at my desk before/after. The only thing in life nicer than eating is the feeling of being paid to eat

One of our next door neighbours is a nosy old bitch, she's in her 80's so there's nothing we can say to her about it. Most days she's out on her wheeled walking mobility aid and she stops and stares , honestly, she actually stops outside the front wall and stares at our house with each and every circuit of the terrace that she does. We put up a clothes line in our back yard last week and yesterday we were in the kitchen cooking with the back door open, we looked down the garden and there she was staring through the gate at us. She's fcuking creepy at times.

We keep our house spotless and we're so quiet that you'd hardly know we're here, so I don't know what her interest in us is. Mr Pumpkinseeds was joking that we should get a whip and hang it off the line to wind her up, maybe some crotchless knickers to hang up as well, just to add a bit of extra spice to it.

People are absolute pigs when it comes to cleaning up their own crap at the cinema. They just get up out of their seat and leave a rubbish pile behind them. There's bins at on the way out, just walk the couple of metres to it and dispose of your thrash. This entitlement of getting someone else to do it is just lazy and bratty. Just do it yourself ya dirtbag!

I see something similar in McDonalds carpark on the kylemore road each morning when im walking through it, its as if people going in during the night ,eat the food in the car and then just open their doors and drop it all out on the ground then leave, its so bad and there is always so much of it!

Standing waiting with one of the other parents for my child to get out of school, making small chat and all the rest of it when she says "oh here comes (my son) now, looks like he's got himself a girlfriend, he sure knows how to pick them". I couldn't see anything but I figured I'd just be polite anyway, casually replied "aye, he does alright", without even thinking about it...

Didn't need to be able to see anything after that, I could feel the daggers she was shooting at me thinking I was eyeing up children, thought best not to try and explain, would only make things even more awkward :pac:

That an Irish Water computer error takes over almost the entire front page of an evening paper... and the loss of 900 migrants who drowned after they were locked into the cabin hold has two inches of the front page dedicated to it. F*cking says it all about our priorities. If those were Europeans or Americans we'd never hear the end of it. Migrant workers/refugees don't matter it seems...

I completely disagree with An Post and some courier companies' policy of leaving your parcel with a neighbour.

I think it's so presumptuous (spelling?!) that people get along with their neighbour so how awkward is that going to be trying to get it back?

On a side note, I was expecting a parcel from Amazon, just before Christmas time and when I came home from being out all day, I got in and picked up my post from the floor.

Scribbled on the back was a note from the postman which said "Your parcel is in your green wheelie bin".
I was flabbergasted.
He'd put my Amazon parcel in the BIN.

Who's to say somebody didn't see him and promptly whip it out?
Completely unprofessional.

I used to work in UCI years ago and in order to clean the cinemas we turned on these giant lights that put the cinema into total brightness. If customers ever saw the state of the place in that total light they'd never go back to a cinema again!! Shocking stuff.

Then, when finished cleaning, we'd turn the lights off again and the place would look grand :-D

Soccer, I hate soccer, bloody women's sport. Listening to the muppets in work going on about the snoozefest that happened over the weekend

"OOOh you did well didn't you?"
"Yeah we were lucky"

Really? What position do you play in? What part of Liverpool/Manchester/London do you come from?

What's worse is when you meet someone who doesn't know you hate soccer, you tell them and they still try to bend your ear about how their team did. I DON'T CARE F*** OFF!
