Dear perfect poster....................please get out!!!

We want misery in here, not perfection.:P

lol.. well they say "Misery loves company.." Oh by the way, saying " perfect" as I used it there is kerry dialect! They use it for everything. Give a shop the right money and that is " perfect"...Everything? the answer is always "perfect" I did not realise I had slipped so much into the vernacular..PERFECT! I belong!

I just read through about 12 pages of this thread - and I don't remember a word of it! Stupid cold, stupid bunged up head. I must have used about 650 tissues since yesterday.

Let me summarise the last 12 pages.... People are getting trivially annoyed (TA) about things. Bit of toilet talk. Bit of flirting.

If I click on a link someone has posted, when I leave it, I'm back at the top of the page again rather than at the post. So trivial, yet so bloody annoying

Other people - nothing unusual about that but but there's a specific instance today!

Out having a brekkie treat this morning in a cafe, sitting at a table for 4 on my own as there's only tables for four in the cafe. No sooner sitting down, barely a bite taken and obvious given the amount of food still on my plate, than a woman comes up to me asking if the seats beside me are taken.

No problem with that, always happy to make room for 2 people to sit at a table beside me if i'm on my own, them sitting opposite each other and me pretending there's an invisible wall down the middle of the table. So put down my knife and fork to move my coat, bag, shopping, etc. to the chair opposite me and say work away. Next thing 2 more people and a child come over to join her and take up all the remaining seats at my table and squeeze the child in too.
So I had to retrieve all my belongings again, keep them on my lap and I am now one person at a crowded table. Not only that but they've no food with them which means there's a fourth still in the queue! I'd understand if I looked as if I was nearly finished and they were planning on being rude by crowding me out so that I finished up quickly, and in that case I may even have accommodated them had they been nice or jokey about it, but I HAD JUST SAT DOWN. :mad:

Well I've never eaten so slowly in my life, every bite savoured and tea nursed, even I was TA'd at how long I was taking - I had things to do godammit!!

You did the right thing, passive agression was the only solution there.

Wash the area, but do not use bleach.....it contains ammonia. Use hot water and a washing detergent or a dishwasher tablet. Failing that you can get stuff in pet shops to discourage dog fouling. Your neighbour is a bastard.

Bleach does have a smell that certain animals love, but it does not contain ammonia! And don't ever mix the two, for the love of God... :eek:

Neighbors dog has been pooing on the doorstep every morning for the past week, despite me cleaning it and scrubbing every bloody morning before I go to work.
TWICE I have stood on it going out the door. When my morning stupor had not quite worn off enough to remember. Ugh.

Mentioned it to the owner, but think he might have been laughing at me as I walked away.

Here's a tip that might come in handy. A few years back before I moved out into the sticks. A particular wan would let her Cocker Spaniels out to shít in every neighbours garden but their own. So I scooped up my German Shepherds poo, put it into a plastic bag. Then at about 3:00am, I went to the ignorant pigs house and scattered the dog poo all over the bonnet of her car and her front door mat. Her dogs never shat in anybody's garden again.

My weight-loss is slowing down lately and it's beyond frustrating.

I know this happens to people but it makes me wonder what I can do to get it going again.

When that happened me I mixed up my routine and started going for a brisk two mile walk before eating anything at all. This was in addition to my usual exercise and I found it worked very well with regards to getting more weight to feck off! :pac:

I was supposed to come home at 12. It's 2:43 and I'm just in the door. I have rehearsals at 10 am and I know I'm going to regret my decision to go out tonight!

have you recalculated your TDEE? as you lose weight you need less calories to maintain your current weight, since it's now less weight than it was when you initially calculated your TDEE calories in the first place so to continue losing weight at the pace you started losing at you'd need to figure out what your current TDEE is and subtract 3-500 from that new figure (see? simple!)

Lived a while on a street that had open plan front gardens and one day saw the old harridan from over the road, who LOVED her dog, getting it to s**t on MY GRASS.. SO I called her, saying I was very very worried as I had just treated the grass with VERY STRONG WEEDKILLER .. she denied it but I bet that poor dog got bathed within an inch of its life that night and it never happened again. Times are that you fight fire withe ingenuity...

TA at that litre of coffee I had yesterday preventing me sleeping last night. Have a 3 hour drive ahead of me today...going to need electrodes to keep me awake!

Tell me how

TA'd that am still very tired and could have a lie in but due to back pain I have to get up.

TA'd that I woke up with a thumping headache, sore throat, stuffed nose and watery eyes. If this develops into a full on cold it will be no. 4027 in the last 18 months...

Also I'm due back to work after a really long (not cold related) absence tomorrow, if I turn up sick and sniffing they are really just going to give up and fire me!!!

Cracked lips are so fricking annoying. On par with the dreaded paper-cut. Every time I go to open my mouth it stings like a mofo. It's a good job I don't have anyone to talk to 'cos it'd be How OW! are OW! you OW!

Also I'm annoyed that I don't know what ta means. I guess it could mean trivially annoyed because of x y and z?

Good luck with your return to work tomorrow and I am sorry about your cold!

From reading about your accident it sounds like you have had a very genuine reason not to be in work and they should be glad to have you back!

Cyclists cycling 3 abreast so that one if them isn't actually in the cycle lane, but on the road. Jesus Christ, can one of them not cycle behind the others, or do they really prefer to be wobbling out in the traffic !!

For the second time recently, I've had a Facebook friend request, and I've gone in for a look all intrigued . And for the second time it's a request from some random American widower. Profile and cover pics of them with their kids. Am I a widower magnet lately, or is this something dodgy ?

Mopping floors.

I have a steam mop and yes it's great 'cos it doesn't soak the floors and dries quickly but how do you manoeuvre yourself around the place without walking on the freshly mopped floors?

I mopped the hall and kitchen and I had to walk over it to get back to the kitchen and I left footprints.

I mopped back over it and then had to wait in the living room til it was dry and then I walked into the hall and saw bits of grey fluff accumulating in the corner which is baffling as I thoroughly hoovered the whole house before mopping.

That's the worst thing about wooden floors; grey lumps of fluff that appear out of nowhere.

Anyway the floors are mopped but the kitchen floor is still wet so my longing for a cuppa will have to wait cos I'm not going back in there leaving more footprints!

I was in the same boat as yourself and pretty frustrated with how my weight loss came to a standstill. I only shifted 2Lbs from June - December, but I've been through this before and I knew I was in a plateau phase. So I kept at the cardio and suddenly I've lost another 7Lbs since the New Year . Many people fall off the rails and get disheartened when their progress stalls. The key is to maintain discipline, don't lose focus and just kept plugging away.

Thanks for that, Corvus.
I was warned in the gym by my PT that a plateau was going to happen but I didn't think it would for some reason.

I try my hardest every week but this week especially was one of my best exercise and food wise and I stayed the same weight this week as the past 2.
I'm the same weight now as I was 5 weeks ago.

You're right though; I know I have to keep plugging away and carry on and tell myself this is a lifestyle change and that even though my weight loss might stall, I am changing my body shape all the time.

I also know I mustn't give up and that thought never entered my mind, so that's good.

Old fashioned upper class English name! We share the naming with the UK you see. They are apparently naming as far as W only; what is wrong with Xerxes, Yolande and Zebedee? Oh this is interesting though! "Imogen /ˈɪmədʒən/, or Imogene, is a female given name. It is thought (but not confirmed) to have originated as a misspelling or variation of the name Innogen, from the Old Irish Ingen meaning "maiden" or "girl"." Wikipaedia.

Tell me how

Definitely trivial but definitely annoying thing here.

The winners of the Superbowl being referred to as the world champions and even getting that stamped on their rings which each winning player is given. Its a national competition with only teams from that country entering. I know there probably isn't a team outside the US who could beat them but it still riles me. Imagine if All Ireland winners started being referred to as World Champions. We wouldn't be long cutting them down to size.

Americans are so full of themselves. It's the same with the NBA and the baseball. Good idea with the hurling, Kilkenny are the World Champions for the 800th time.

How do you manage the lead??? I am either going to electrocute myself or choke myself on that stupid lead.

I would love a cordless vacuum and steam mop.

I only unwind a certain amount of the lead and I lob the lead over my shoulder as I mop, but it does fall on the ground a few times.
It's annoying but just try and keep it over your shoulder as much as poss.
I'd love a cordless mop and Dyson myself.
