Saturday was one long wet TA. With a few rainbows
First I seriously mislaid my keys. I was heading out early and it was still dark... stopped to use my money off coupon at Supervalu. they had had an impressive special on " my " coffee so I planned to use the coupon to fill my cupboard with that.. You guessed; no more offer... the rain was supposed to be afternoon so I headed for Mizen Head to walk there.. You guessed. the rain arrived around 10 am and got rather wet gathering and and seaweed but a lovely wind... Lovely folk at almost deserted Mizen Head fed me as they always do bless them but too wild to walk. Then the drive home in sheeting rain and low cloud. Caha Pass was awesome.. But then met a lovely couple in Supervalu.. and cadged chicjen backs and some firewood... The moral of all this is that even when the day starts with the TA from hell, there can be rainbows along the way...Now all I have to do is get over the nasty bug I caught along the way..Worn a path to the toilet here ....;) 0 -

You'll be grand, I've been getting tinnitus on and off for years and I'm still here
Sometimes you can just get a ringing in your ears every once in a while, I'm sure it will go away in time but if it doesn't then maybe go to your GP just in case.0 -

Wise words. I get occasional tinnitus but not constant. Thankfully, Yes permanent constant tinnitus can drive you over the edge. It is in your head and never any rest from it. There are alleviations, white noise headphones and some kinds of hearing aid will help. Mine was through wearing ear plugs when the """""" across the back was using a crowbanger far too near, 24/7. I find a bit of oil soaked cotton wool helps.0 -
I think today will be the day. My stomach is churning. I'm ready for defeat but praying for victory. I feel like everyone involved in the decision is looking at me, and I don't know if it is sympathetically or in awe, or if I am just paranoid. God help me!

Sounds like you were on the sauce last night and are suffering with "the fear". Don't worry mate - it is NEVER turns out as bad as you think it will.
F**king fuming with people who don't give a f**k about their car, and ergo don't give a f**k about yours. I was walking behind a lady today and noticed she was going for the car next to mind. Bearing in mind the weather is mental, wind whipping around the carpark, she walks over and takes no care whatsoever in opening her door. It swings open and while I am thankful that it didn't smack into my car door, it landed at a part of the mirror which is rubber. However, when I got into the car it had actually forced the mirror to a point where it would not open back up when I clicked the button. I thought for a moment that she broke it but I got it working :mad:

You're not paranoid. We're all looking at you. And judging you. And we've tracked you down to Boards. You'd better hope we like your posts....

Good luck with it OldNotWise!0 -

Buy why do we feel the need? Of course it's worldwide thing, not so much on forums though, as it is in Ireland.
Seems to be almost considered out of order to express any objections to it here if your post is anything to go by.
No you're entitled to your opinion of course but I always wonder who decided that swear words were 'bad' words? Insults, racist/sexist slurs etc I can totally agree with as being unaccpetable but who decided that the likes of the 'F' word (I won't type it out so as not to annoy you
) was a 'bad' word to say? 0 -

Well the F word and the J word are just as offensive to many people as racist or sexist words and to be honest I myself often swear and curse in everyday chat, but I try not to use them when posting because those are words most polite folks won't use in front of children, family members, etc. or even strangers because you can't be certain they won't be offended by such language unless you know them well.
I think most decent people make an effort to watch their language in the presence of clergy, nuns, etc. or indeed any people they might otherwise offend.
Who'd want to be considered offensive or presumptuous that others are as accepting of swearing as the swearer?0 -

I too tend not to curse in certain company, but frankly After Hours is hardly a forum full of shrinking violets - so I'm happy in the knowledge that the odd "fook" or the like is perfectly acceptable*

I always used to hold in the curses around my parents , even as an adult. Probably thinking I'd still be killed if I cursed, more than anything. Since my Dad died I curse like a sailor. What's even funnier now is my mother in her 70s has taken to it too, not unusual to have her tell me so and so is a bollix! We are a pack of savages:)
Back on topic my TA is craving something that can only be got at Lidl, only to find they don't have it when I get there. Also , the layout of the shop has totally changed. I could have got the bits with my eyes closed before, now I can't find anything 0 -

I'm fairly annoyed. After three days of discomfort I decided to go into the doctor last week. It just burned to piss so I was hoping it would pass. I don't have a medical card anymore. I was working when it came to renewing it and because I was 50c above minimum wage I didn't qualify for one. And then I was let go from my job the day after the deadline closed. Anyway back to the present. So I went to the doctor last week and it cost me 64.95 including the drugs. I got a phonecall earlier from the doctor saying the bacteria in my urine was resistant to the drugs they'd prescribed. So I'd to buy more drugs. I went in to pick up the prescription and it cost 20 quid. Long live the celtic tiger, eh. 20 quid to fill out a prescription.
tdlr: I've spent 90% of this week's dole on doctors and drugs.0 -

You know the type; low classical music, soft carpets so you hear no footsteps and just a dead silence.
A woman arrived with her son, who I'd say was about four.
Well he was a little horror.
He ran over to the corner right beside me and pulled out all the toys and threw them everywhere, screeching and yelping with delight.
I wouldn't mind but I was sitting RIGHT beside him.
He then proceeded to play with bricks ON MY FEET.
His mother smiled at me and I smiled tightly back at her.
The little brat then crawled under my chair and only came out when the mother told him to.
He then flung a toy phone across the room, narrowly missing the receptionist and proceeded to scream and shout.
I was sitting there fuming and vowed that if the little brat played bricks on my feet again, I was not going to be held responsible for my actions.
Luckily my mother came out of the room before I lost my rag and we were able to leave.
I know kids will be kids but brats will also be brats and it's mothers like that who don't seem to have any control over their kids OR allow them to misbehave and don't see anything wrong with it, that annoy me.
I'm sorry Fussy but I was very disappointed with your post.
I had read "I took my mother to a private eye appointment..." and thought "Bloody hell, this will be juicy, wonder who Fussy's Mam is spying on"
Then read the rest.
Note to self....read the whole thing before jumping to conclusions:D 0 -

I have to say, it made me laugh. I genuinely thought it was going to be about a private investigator
It could have been that since "the great outage of 2015" I am only catching up on my fav threads, so was reading a bit quickish and, as I said, jumped to a juicy conclusion.
My TA is just my generally lack of enthusiasm and ZERO get up and go lately
Its pretty bad when YOU are actually annoying YOU 0 -
