    And Poxy showers, can I add that to the list? In a nice hotel at the moment, lovely room and facilities. But the shower is like something from 1976. Weak assed!

    Thank you :) I'm super excited!

    Sitting in the airport trying not to be sick. Don't know if it's my fear of flying or that I'm not well. Worst feeling ever when you're off somewhere for the day!

    I was relieved when my GP finally employed a receptionist as until that point the queue jumpers had a nasty habit of loitering in the corridor and making a dash in to the doctor as soon as the previous patient came out of the room while everyone else sat in the waiting room. A couple of times I spotted it and greeted them with a loud 'I don't fcuking think so':mad: Sometimes you just have to publicly embarrass them and most people prefer to avoid a scene, so they get into the habit of jumping the queue.

    There is nothing like the feeling of triumph when you publically embarrass a queue-jumper and make them do the walk of shame down to the back of the queue.

    Clothes shopping. Gotta go buy a pair of trousers today, given that I'm a bottom heavy lady it's depressing and frustrating. The fact that I've got short legs just makes things worse.:(

    Then you have the other end of the spectrum. You turn on a shower and your skin is nearly washd off by a jet of high powered lava.:(

    Can't recommend F&F by Tesco highly enough.

    Go online, they've got everything you're looking for, in small sizes right up to 22 or something like that.
    They've got different length trousers too and if you're not happy with the item when it arrives, you just take it back to your local Tesco shop to get a refund.
    It's brilliant!

    Forever 21 is good too. They're online also.

    When you're the only guy in a room of girls and someone farts, you automatically get blamed for it as you're the only guy in the room and all the girls give you the evils even though it wasn't you. :mad:

    I was washing my hair this morning and when I put the shower head in the bath it flipped around and soaked me, as well as the walls and floor.

    My wife did that yesterday and I just saw it last night because the cat was sniffing around the cereal. I said to her ''Did you enjoy your snack?'' and she says ''oh I did, I had cereal hours ago''. Well thanks for leaving the crumbs all over the floor. I've left them there so now it is a battle of wills to see who will clean it up :pac:

    Nothing worse than getting a phone call at the wrong time. I have a brother who seems to have an innate sense of the worst times to ring me. About to tuck into some nice grub and he rings me. Stuck on the bog and he rings me. Game of Thrones just starting and oh look, he's ringing me again :mad:. It wouldn't be so bad if you could get him off the phone quickly, but with him, 15 minutes is a quick call.

    1 of our cats is cheating on us with at least 1 neighbour. He's only just showed up after being gone since 6am and isn't hungry enough to eat the food with his medication in it.:mad: I don't blame him really, he gets loads of fuss from whoever he visits, gets to be the centre of attention with treats and doesn't get bitch-slapped by the other 3 cats.:rolleyes:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 369 ✭✭tradhead


    Was told for the first time ever in my life today that I've lost a lot of weight and I look great.

    I'm 5'8 and a bit under 11 stone. And I haven't lost any weight so now I'm feeling very self-conscious :(

    You need to get one of those cat cams...that you attach to his collar. You will find out about their infidelity, and more, that way.

    We've got a supply of collars in a drawer as he's got a knack of getting rid of them. :D

    Our 4 were all abandoned and 3 just showed up in our garden 1 by one over the years, 1 was left in the car park of an apartment complex when her humans moved away and didn't want her anymore. I think once they've been let down by humans once they like to have a back up home waiting. :D

    TA that when I'm trying to read important emails on my work iPhone, I can read the first sentence in the inbox (preview) view, but when I actually go into the email to read it, it can take minutes for the email to load up to read!!! And rather than displaying what text is available, I get to look at a spinning loading icon!

    It's only a bloody 2 sentence email (response to a previous email anyway)!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,127 ✭✭✭✭kerry4sam


    Still trying to figure out why I was placed where I am. I've no head for this area, no head for it. I said in the interview I don't have experience.
    My name took 6-days to fix and with no apology either! They messed up the spelling on my name ; I then get told, yes told, "sur it's only two letters swapped around, won't that be okay!" How many ways is there to say 'NO!'? How many ways is there to say 'Only one way to spell me name and that's the way I completed my application form and the contract forms'. No you don't get to start making up names because you screwed up when copying over. No apology and 6-days to fix <- sounds more deliberate than accidental to me right now.

    I despair at times,

    Surely I can't be alone in thinking Bloomsday is a load of old horse sh*t? I can't decide which is worse, the dreary poetry reading for Yeats' anniversary last week or the ridiculous dramatics of Bloomsday.

    When you have to sign something in a shop and the girl takes a pen out of her ponytail or bun. I feel weird holding the pen. I know it's a great place to put it and it never gets lost, but meh

    The type of twat who dresses up for Bloomsday is one of the same types of people who drove Joyce to leave the country permanently. What they really want is to have an Edwardian fancy dress party in the style of Brideshead Revisited for which this (non) occasion gives them an excuse.

    So true. The ultimate manipulators. I remember in my Leaving Cert year chilling out one Saturday in an old flames gaff. The family cat was friendly enough when it suited of course. Anyway, the Dad of the house comes home at lunchtime. The cat hops of the couch pleading for food and promptly gets feed.

    To make a long story short, over the next 4-5 hours, the Mum, brother and younger sister all came home and ended up feeding the cat. Because on every occasion, the cat leapt from the couch pleading to be fed.

    That afternoon, that sneaky manipulator of a cat, dined on a selection of cat food, freshly caught trout and salmon. So when he finished stuffing down his last feed, I gave him an appropriate look. Of course being a cat, he returned the compliment and left the room. It was a fatal mistake on my part. Because when I went to collect my jacket from my girlfriends room, it was drenched in cat piss.

    It's important to ensure from the start that you know that the feline overlords are in charge. Pissing on your coat is his way of marking you as his bitch letting you know he considers you part of his family.:D

    2 things
    walked into work without make up just looking like ****.

    "are you ok? Are you ill? You look very sick"

    No I'm just not wearing makeup.

    Then the CEO walks in. "Hi Pew how are you?"

    Every time he sees me he catches me on a day where I have no makeup, dress casually and look like I haven't showered for days.

    Every time he has ****ing seen me.

    **** sake

    There are fewer things I hate more than making small talk, it is just painful and you know that the other person is as disinterested as you are. I despise going to the hairdresser because I'm usually there for at least two hours getting my hair dyed and I know that it is going to be two hours of tedious conversations about nothing, that's why I buy 'Take a Break' (there's no chance I'm looking at fashion magazines for two hours) before I go in to the salon and I try to bury my nose in it before anyone can strike up a conversation.

    you can tweak your search. for example to look for Toyota only...or even further specify "Corolla", then price, mileage etc.

    I'll tell you something better, I saved that feckers life. A neighbour down my road, had planned on drowning their six kittens. I couldn't stomach such cruelty, so I found a home for all six kittens.

    I'm not even a cat fan, I'm a dog man. And that's the gratitude I got, him píssing on my jacket months later :(. Now if my Germans Shepherds could read (and I suspect they can), I'd probably be looked on with contempt, stripped of pack leader status and cast out.

    This new thing on Facebook and Instagram where everyone now thinks they are some kind of style icon/fashion blogger and post pics of their outfits all the time. I really do not care about your €13.99 New Look skirt please spare me.
