I had bronchitis last month and I think it's a relapse, will go back to my gp tomorrow.

Do. Don't suffer anymore; I know how awful it is and how tiring and draining it is on your body.

Feel better soon, Pumpkin.
Meanwhile, sip hot tea, drink hot water with honey and lemon and a dash of whiskey and keep warm x

Biting down on the inside of my cheek.

It's been happening an awful lot lately and I don't know how to stop myself.
I was eating pizza last night and as I was chomping away, I took a huge mouthful of my inside cheek with it.

The pain and shock was so severe, I dropped the pizza and started crying.
It's happened again today while eating my breakfast.
I'm now too afraid to eat!

I do that all the time as well! I cried a couple of times too, just out of pure frustration because I felt so stupid doing it again and again. Another thing I keep doing lately is kicking myself in the ankle when walking.

I finally got around to watching "Birdman". Oscar nominations to beat the band, everyone raving about how good it is.

I thought it was sh1te, so there.

In my opinion, most of the films that win the oscar for best film, are to be avoided.

I often think that too about books short listed for this, that and the other award.

I was thinking about this the other week when it kept happening.

Because you bit the inside of your cheek hard, it's probably now swollen and thus more likely to happen again the immediate future. I think that's why biting your lip/cheek happens in quick succession.

This maybe obvious to everyone else, but for me it was one of those things I just realised!

It was just about watchable, and I'm feeling generous.
(I did think Ed Norton was good in it though),

I watched it, I have noted it, therefore I don't need to see it again, ever.

I hate when people forget their toast in the toaster
Or forget to take their coffee off the hob
I HATE when people use my things without asking me, then proceed to place them in some obscure location in the house where I cant ****ing find them (or as happened once, just take the whole thing with you and leave for a few days)
I get annoyed when women who have boyfriends think Im trying to get stuck into them when Im all doing is trying to pursue a platonic relationship. Yes Im fully aware you have a boyfriend - can you not appreciate the fact I think youre a cool person and would like to be in your company some more? I feel like a fúcking creep sometimes, just by simply asking if they want to go for coffee (I have since ceased bothering to try be friends with these 2 separate women)
I hate when Im hitching and drivers drive past and laugh (fair enough youre not going to pick me up, but why laugh in my face? Do you think I love standing on the side of the road like a mong?)
I hate when lefties (not to generalize as I am a leftie) call anyone who disagrees with them a 'fascist', that seriously boils my blood
And although Ive said this one in this thread before, Ill say it again, because it drives me up the wall: I HATE WHEN PEOPLE PUT TEABAGS IN THE SINK. TEABAGS GO IN THE BIN, BEHIND YOU. ITS NOT THE SINKS PROBLEM YOU HAVE FINISHED BREWING/DRINKING TEA. NOR SHOULD I HAVE TO LOOK AT A PILE OF MANKY TEABAGS WHEN IM TRYING TO WASH A FECKIN DISH.

Yes, Im in a bad mood

+1. In a similar vein, the tendency among skangers and scumbags to use the word 'handicap' as an insult. Funnily enough the irony of the fact that they claim that their own kids bad behaviour isn't the childs fault, oh no it's ADHD, escapes them. Amazing how many kids have ADHD these days.:rolleyes:

I guess it does, mongoloid and all that. I dunno, I never thought of it that way, lots of people say it around here just as a (somewhat) harmless term for someone whos acting like an eejit. Sorry if it offended you.

I am sure we are all guilty of this kind of thing at some stage. I was reminded of a thread I cam across last year, something like "Do you know any gay people" and some very quick wit posted something like..

"Yes, according to my fourteen year old son, I am gay, my wife is gay, the dog is gay, the TV, stereo system, car and pretty much everything we own is gay"

There is a lovely little walkway that I pass through when I walk my OH to work and it is honestly one of my favourite places in the world. It is just off a very busy, very loud main road. The noise of the road wrecks my head, but when I step a few feet into this place it all fades away almost instantly and is replaced by the lovely sound of the birds chirping in the trees that line the walkway on either side. It is completely peaceful.

Unfortunately, while I walk through there thinking "Ahh, this is such a nice place to grab a few minutes of quiet" , a lot of other people seem to be thinking "This would be a grand, out-of-the-way place for dumping rubbish!" And that is exactly what they do. Every time I go there now, there is always litter strewn all over the place. It seems like people are walking through, eating their lunch and throwing their sandwich wrappers and drink bottles aside when they're done with them, others are sitting there at night drinking cans or naggins and leaving all their crap behind them. Some people leave bags of rubbish behind the trees.

It's such a shame to see such a lovely place wrecked by carelessness. There are nursing homes and indepedent living facilities in the area and the walkway provides a shortcut to the bus stop and local shops. It can't be nice for the residents to pass through that every day. The people who run the local shops are the ones who go out with black sacks several times a week and pick up all the crap that's been thrown around and they deserve a medal because it must be so frustrating, having the area spotless one minute and destroyed the next.

TL/DR - litterbugs suck.

I'm a bit annoyed about people complaining about Irish emigrants not being allowed to vote in the referendum.. but what about all of us immigrants that don't have Irish citizenship?! Surely the outcome will affect us more than those people who have left the country? I've been paying taxes in this country for over 10 years and consider it my home, it annoys me that I'm still being excluded from these things and I can't even vote in a referendum. (EU citizen here, so paying over a grand for citizenship just to be allowed to vote is not worth it)

I am Irish but no longer live in Ireland, so didn't know that, and that TA's me now too.

I would've thought if your permanently resident in Ireland you should be allowed vote in the referendum... as a comparison although not a UK / Scottish citizen, I was eligible to vote in the Scottish independence referendum last year.

On the other hand, many born in Scotland, but no longer residing there, weren't eligible to vote in the referendum.

As you say, it affects you more than those who've left the country, and it was the same for me in the case of the Scottish referendum.

I know very little about the upcoming referendum in Ireland, as it doesn't affect me (will never live in Ireland again) so haven't read up much on it, but based on your post, it seems senseless, so definitely annoying.

Thanks for your comment No, I can only vote in EU elections and some local stuff, but not in any of the important ones and no referendums. Bizarrely, I can still vote in my home country even though I haven't lived there in over 10 years and have no plans of ever moving back.

Robsweezie

people ending every sentence with an upward inflection as if asking a question, shows a lack of confidence and need for validation in what they're saying. I do it very rarely when nervous.

whatismyname

Feck it, I'm going for it.

1. Being on holiday abroad alone (by choice), but being alone and having a potentially sprained ankle.

2. Chatting to two strangers who are clearly a couple, but the male in the couple practically feeling the woman up as they talk to you - and her not bothered about it, which is a secondary TA probably.

3. People you talk to who go on and on about themselves, and show no interest in the person they are talking to - conversation is a two way thing, right?

4. Bad customer service, but so appalled I should probably take it to the ranting and raving forum, or on second thoughts probably best not to get me started.

5. My own head and the sh1t in head... but on the other hand my own head if wonderful and amazing in it's own right, so hey ho.

6. People saying they'll be somewhere, and then not being there

7. Putting a bottle of sun lotion in my bag, and it spilling all over the book and other stuff in there.

8. People who go on a super cheap holiday to a very budget holiday, and who then moan on tripadvisor about how basic it is (not me). If you want a good standard, go pay for it, and most of the things you're paying for are so very trivial, especially given the price you pay for them.

Gonna stop now, enough for now. Be back later maybe :P

Stubbed my toe on a misplaced shoe.
Even more annoyed that I can't blame anyone for said misplacement as it was my doing.

People out running.. Everynight between 5-9pm you have every twat out.. And if you don't move.. The bang into you.. I am stationary.. Would you bounce off a post box? No so why do you feel the need to bounce off me?

I must be turning into a right old crank as I find myself agreeing with a lot of stuff here.

My number one annoyance are out of control kids and the parents who "don't want to suppress their development by setting restricting boundaries", closely followed by social climbers.

Yeah, i live in the country and there's a lovely woodland walk near me that is really well maintained by Coillte or the OPW or whoever but of course every **** and their cousin just uses it as a dumping ground at any point they can get a vehicle into it.

I'm out there most days and there's routinely black sacks full of rubbish left around. The most i counted in one day was 10 in the same place :eek: Last week someone had dumped a load of car batteries in a gully running alongside part of the walking route.

People suck and are the reason we can't have anything nice. There will always be some scumbags who have to ruin it for everyone else.

I see the same in a local park where I often walk. It's really well maintained, but some yokes choose to use it as a place to dump all kinds of stuff. Disgusting.

This bugs me - my local park on a nice sunny day is swarmed with people and they mess the leave behind just crap thrown everywhere -and there are so many bins in the park - often about 100 feet away but still instead of walking over to the bins they just leave all their crap right where they were sitting!!

These last few posts should be highlighted and probably deserve to get their own thread!!

Absolutely disgusting behaviour, dumping your shíte like that,

How awesome would it be to locate who dumped what, and dump it all back on their front garden...

Gotta head off to my GP's soon. I hate sitting in the waiting room, hopefully there won't be any kids. Trivial annoyance, when people let their kids bother everyone else in the waiting room/ throw magazines around. It's a doctors not a fricking creche. I hope my GP doesn't sign up to the free care for under 6's or whatever it is, I'd be sat there all fricking day if that happens.

What I see, more so, is deliberately dumped household rubbish. It's a disgrace.

Things dropping again and again.

I was drying the dishes and I grabbed a spoon from the draining board to dry it.

It fell. I bent down to pick it up (and I have back problems, so bending is not easy for me). I started drying it. It fell again. I picked it up.
Got a rush of heartburn as I bent over.

About to put said spoon into drawer. IT FELL ON THE FLOOR AGAIN.

Bent over to pick it up. Swore at spoon, threatening to kill it and fecked it in the drawer in a temper.
