Lying down about to go in to an MRI scanner....need to fart...but two nurses fussing over me. Eventually I go in...have my fart while getting scanned.
I wonder if an MRI scanner can pick up a fart?

As long as you don't fart any ferrous metals, you should be grand. Don't try and take your phone in to the machine, though, that would be Very Bad. :eek:

The worst thing about the MRI, in my experience, is having to keep so still for so long. I don't mind the noise so much, with earplugs in it sounds like bad Gabber Techno and I go in to a trance ...

I was doing a race thing last weekend, someone farted, then said 'OH OH' after it rather than 'oooppps'.

And then someone further back that heard the fart said 'you don't let them slip out after the 6km mark'

I find that about half-way through a long walk I'm like the anti-lag on a rally car.

My friend who is mostly normal (ish) has tried to tell me several times that she doesn't fart.

I told her that if she doesn't fart when she's awake then she must be farting like a ginnet when she's asleep!

She was very, very angry with me :pac:

I was always trying to be polite and ladylike and hold in my farts around my ex-boyfriend. Well, that back fired, literally, apparently I was farting away like a trooper in my sleep, which he informed me with glee :pac:

Bedsheets popping off the corners of the bed.
No matter what size I buy, they always come away.

And my other half gets into the bed and seems to take the sheet with him cos he puts one knee on the bed and slides in.
I've taken to telling him how to get into bed.
I'm sad.

underneath each corner, where the elastic but goes under the mattress, a couple of well placed safety pins, to hold the 4 corners in place.

Spend ages blowing up the paddling pool. Fill it with water. I even spent ages making a lid for it to stop dirt blowing in there.
Collect the wee fella from creche.
He dips a toe in there and tell me that he does not like it.....fck it. I am going to grab a beer and sit in it myself!

There's nothing like letting off a good ripper early in the morn, great way to start the day :P

I got in the Ground Floor lift at work as per usual.
It was empty, I pushed the button for the 3rd floor and the doors closed.
All well. I'm alone so I decided to let one off. It stank. Putrid.

Unfortunately I forgot about the -1 floor and the lift said it was "Going Down!" :eek:

The people who called the lift were confronted with a horrible smell and myself wearing a "Yes, it was me" expression.

All this recent talk of farts, reminds me of a horrific trauma I endured some years ago with an old flame. Timing as they say is everything and this couldn't have happened at a worse time.:(

We were in the midst of a wonderful copulation session, when I noticed her smiling and then trying not to smile. Now since I knew she already had her bit of fun, I guessed it wasn't a failing on my part. So then I began to wonder was I making some weird sex face.

Anyway, my speculation quickly ended as she then began to say - "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry." and I said Sorry?....sorry for wha..." and then it happened. She let out what can only be described as a monstrous elephant fart, of Richter Scale proportions which must have lasted for 10 seconds.

I hung on in desperation, determined not to miss my happy ending. Feck it, if she had hers, I was having mine. When her gaseous eruption subsided and the laughing died down, I was so proud that I had remained on target and was able to quickly recommence my quest.

Sadly my smugness was quickly ended, because it turned out I was actually gassing myself with every movement I made. My face must have been a sight, because she erupted into hysterics and she was also probably enjoying her own scent.

She laughed and laughed, I laughed and I cried. But mostly I cried. I had lost the will to live, I had failed in my quest. Only an NBC suit would have helped me to complete the quest.

Now I've played a lot of sports, been on a lot of teams and trained in a lot of gyms. But I had never before and never since, experienced such a vile cloud of arse methane. It was like having a sack of rotten eggs tied around your head, trapped in a lift full of Guinness fart.

What that beautiful creature unleashed upon me that night was beyond human. It should have been classified as a weapon of mass destruction.

People who, having just spent upwards of an hour or more in the departure gates with plenty of toilets nearby, get STRAIGHT UP and go to the toilet the moment the seat-belt sign is off. Would you not just go before a flight so as to stop any panicky trips to the toilet 2 minutes into the flight???

Also, people who order large amounts of food on a short (2 hours or less) flight, again despite the fact that there are often plenty of cafes and stalls in the same area as departure gates. What the hell are people doing that they seem completely blind to toilets and cafes?:mad::mad:

Guy in the queue behind me today, when I was buying my lunch, saying to the girl at the till, '€3.40 for them, I could buy two of them for €3 n a shop'
Girl nodded and smiled patiently. I wish she had said 'well **** off so, and buy two of them, in a shop'.

He wasn't even buying the damn pastry or whatever he was mithering about. And I'm sure he must know that staff don't set the prices in chain coffee shops... :rolleyes:

Aglomerado

Walking near work today and a convoy of wedding cars is stopped at junction while I cross. No sooner have I stepped off the footpath then they all start honking their horns. Jesus the cacophony!!! I suffer from hyperacusis and my ears are still ringing! The guests (not the newly weds in the lead car) were hanging out of the car windows too, and screaming. What are you supposed to do, wave at them? bless yourself? Genuflect? Throw shredded aldi receipts at them like confetti? Bloody attention seekers.

I bought a paddling pool two years ago and there's no kids in my house. When the warm weather arrives, out comes the pool with a few beers to hand.

Between friends' birthdays, nephews' and nieces' christenings and birthdays, both here and abroad, mothers day, fathers day, people's anniversaries.... I feel like I'm tripping over myself trying to keep up with all the cards I've to send, and I keep f**king up and forgetting. Is it just me or do they all seem to come at once? It's exhausting trying to keep up.

I'm single, no kids, and I don't celebrate my birthday. Nobody's gotta send me nothin'.

The aul Cork fella on the train to Dublin on Wednesday. We decided to sit in the quiet zone, yeah that didn't work out so well... There were 2 aul fellas from Cork, travelling seperately and alone. One of them started chatting to some random aul ones across the aisle from him about the history of the primary school he attended and had to insert AND between years, as in 19 hundred AND 67, just to make it that much more tedious. I don't give a fcuk about the history of parishes and their populaces 400 years ago. He didn't come up for breath between Limerick Junction and Heuston:mad:

To add to the misery, the other aul Cork fella decided to have a go at the 2 young foreign ladies who were pushing the shop trolley around. He was roaring at them that they 'let a lot of people down not coming around with the trolley earlier on' and that they were a disgrace etc etc. That backfired on him because people put him straight very fast. So a stressful trip to Dublin. On the plus side I discovered a new favourite cocktail that night, Manhattans.:) I highly recommend them.;)

Yeah, I've noticed that a lot of low fat foods are very high in sugar. I didn't used to read labels other than to buy something claiming to be low fat. When I switched to piscetarian food I had to start reading food labeling. It's amazing how many foods contain beef or pork gelatine, especially sweets.:(

People who cant make a simple decision.

The wife, mother-in law and sister in law here yesterday evening trying to decide on what take-away to get. In all fairness I usually take charge but I said no, this time I'll see how and when they actually reach a decision.

Twas as infuriating as it was fascinating, you can tell they knew what they wanted but were too afraid to upset the other person.

The conversation went along the lines of:

"What do you want"

"Eh, dont mind"

"What about you"

"Eh, dont mind either"

"Right, so where will I go"

"Emmmmmm"


Oh good god my insides were churning with annoyance.

Being tired after a week of very early starts with the youngest. So today at 7.30 (yay, a lie in!) when she got up , I couldn't move. She took full advantage of this and was rooting through everything in the bedroom. I rarely wear make up, but she found my blusher and took the little brush out of it:(. She says she has put it "somewhere safe".

My mattress really annoys me. It's less than 2 years old and for the last few weeks we've both been waking up with sore backs. it's especially bad at weekends. It was kind of cheap, but I think it should have lasted longer than that!

How are your pillows? We were having a similar problem and we bought new pillows, problem solved. You could also try getting a cheap mattress topper.

We've replaced the pillows a few times, didn't seem to make much of a difference. I was thinking about a mattress topper though, maybe I'll try that first.

My head is melted. I got to the supermarket and before getting out of the car, I couldn't find my purse in my bag. I sent the eldest girl home to get it, while I got the few bits. She came back, couldn't find it anywhere, but lent me some money. I went home and pulled the house apart for over half an hour, no joy. I drove back to the supermarket I was at yesterday just in case it had been handed in, and it wasn't there. My daughter rang the Garda station in case I had dropped it walking home yesterday. It wasn't handed in. I was starting to feel sick as bank cards and some sentimental photos in it. We headed over to my mothers, and we were almost there when I got a burst of divine inspiration. I remembered getting out some mints from the front section of my bag, and putting the purse in there. I remember I thought at the time that I wouldn't remember that I put it in that part as I never do. I'm relieved, but afraid I'm getting Alzheimer's . On the plus side I found the blusher brush when looking for the purse

I have a sore throat. Not scratchy or tickly; it feels bruised when I swallow. Guess it's my tonsils.
Every time I swallow, it hurts.

I also don't feel great...not ill, but not right. As if I'm coming down with something.
It's a bizarre feeling when you're on the cusp of being well/starting to come down with something. I feel lethargic.

And I went to check our medicine cabinet to see if we had Strepsils and we only have one lozenge, but it's half open and all sticky.
So now I only have soothing tea.
Woe is me.

People who walk beside the footpath on a busy road.

And. Lady in the shop who waited til the cashier had beeped ALL her shopping through before beginning to pack it.

I'm getting more and more impatient in the supermarket lately.

When I'm ready to go to the tills, I actively seek out one of the two women who are actually really nice (and quick at scanning through everything), and if I can't spot them, I've no choice but to go to another till.

Thing is, in my local supermarket, most of the staff are dozy and rude.
There's one in particular who takes an AGE to scan each item and then saunters off to check the price on something.
Her till always has the longest queue, too.

And then those customers who casually unruffle their shopping bags and slowly pack each item.
Have some consideration, ffs!

I avoid my local shop because of today's trivial annoyances. Earlier I queued for 15 minutes (small country shop, not a big city aldi or anything). I forgot something and had to go back again.

Got wine. 'Sall good now

I like to come across as tough, but that Carly Rae Jepsen I Really like You video really gets to me. I can't really explain why but I think it's because I think Tom Hanks is so cool, and it makes me feel like a total weirdo

I haven't seen it, the song annoys me

Do you know what other song annoys me, that stupid "i found myself a cheerleader"
It sounds so lovely and catchy til you hear the lyrics

she looks like a model ... she obeys my every command ... she's there for me ... still wanna cheat on her but i like having a cheerleader

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh :mad:

One thing I learned the hard way is. If there's one thing you should never scrimp on, it's buying a mattress.
